Spark Ignition Engine Modeling and Control System Design A Guide to Model-in-the-Loop Hierarchical Control Methodology

This book presents a step-by-step guide to the engine control system design providing case studies and a thorough analysis of the modeling process using machine learning and model predictive control (MPC). Covering advanced processes alongside the theoretical foundation MPC enables engineers to improve performance in both hybrid and non-hybrid vehicles. Control system improvement is one of the major priorities for engineers seeking to enhance an engine. Often possible on a low budget substantial improvements can be made by applying cutting-edge methods such as artificial intelligence when modeling engine control system designs and using MPC. This book presents approaches to control system improvement at mid low and high levels of control. Beginning with the model-in-the-loop hierarchical control design of ported fuel injection SI engines this book focuses on optimal control of both transient and steady state and also discusses hardware-in-the-loop. The chapter on low-level control discusses adaptive MPC and adaptive variable functioning as well as designing a fuel injection feed-forward controller. At mid-level control engine calibration maps are discussed with consideration of constraints such as limits on pollutant emissions. Finally the high-level control methodology is discussed in detail in relation to transient torque control of SI engines. This comprehensive yet clear guide to control system improvement is an essential read for any engineer working in automotive engineering and engine control system design. | Spark Ignition Engine Modeling and Control System Design A Guide to Model-in-the-Loop Hierarchical Control Methodology

Continuous Delivery 2.0 Business-leading DevOps Essentials

Continuous Delivery 2.0 Business-leading DevOps Essentials

The agile transformation is an act of transforming an organization’s form or nature gradually to one that can embrace and thrive in a flexible collaborative self-organizing and fast-changing environment. It seems like most of the companies starting an agile transformation never reach the goal of agility but there are those few that truly become agile and reap incredible benefits by utilizing DevOps as well. This book introduces the theory and practice of the double-flywheels model of Continuous Delivery 2. 0: Discovery Loop which allows information technology (IT) organizations to help businesses figure out the most efficacious ways to develop. Additionally it explores applications of the Verification Loop that allows IT organizations to deliver value quickly and safely with high quality. Along the way the book provides an array of insights and case studies that dive into all the aspects of software delivery and how to implement Continuous Delivery in the most economical way for long-run business development. Features Organization culture and software architecture Business requirement management Pipeline and tooling Branching and releasing strategy Automation strategy Configuration and artefacts management Deployment and production healthy The case studies at the end of the book—scenarios in which the author was personally involved—are explored in depth and meticulously detailed in order to represent typical agile transition scenarios that will benefit all readers. | Continuous Delivery 2. 0 Business-leading DevOps Essentials

Children and Work Study of Socialization

Children and Work Study of Socialization

What do children know about work careers and related topics? What is the pattern of growth in values attitudes beliefs and knowledge? Using quantitative and anecdotal evidence gathered from interviewing over 900 grade-school students in five New Jersey communities the authors analyze childhood socialization to the concept of work. Existing literature on this topic focuses on the critical years of oc-cupational choice. But Goldstein and Oldham strongly suggest that much of the child's work-related development has already occurred prior to entry into secondary school and that career educa-tion must receive increased em-phasis during the elementary years. Their evidence corroborates the pattern of rapid progress to-ward childhood awareness of im-portant social phenomena such as war politics race gender roles and economics. By the seventh grade children have an awareness in these areas that approximates that of adults. Traditional stereo-types concerning appropriate work roles for women continue to exist at the elementary school level. This work is a comprehensive empirical treatment of childhood socialization to work fitting neat-ly into the growing body of litera-ture on the socialization of the child into various political eco-nomic and social roles. Children and Work is in the sociological tradition but the findings are pre-sented in the context of a growing body of social science research on early socialization. | Children and Work Study of Socialization

Integrating the Individual and the Organization

Integrating the Individual and the Organization

The emphasis on organizational change in the corporate life of recent years-including job redesign autonomous groups high performance work systems and the redesign of control systems-owes a great deal to the pioneering work of Chris Argyris. This book examines how individuals in organizations can become more effective in turn making organizations more effective. It explores the conventional pyramidal structure of organizations in which there is top-down control by managers over workers and examines their negative consequences. These include organizational injustice and eventually irrational decision-making. Argyris also discusses the characteristic learning system of the modern organization which he describes as single-loop in character. This system he argues is only adequeate enough to permit the organization to implement existing policies. It does not permit the more difficult and comprehensive task of questioning underlying goals and assumptions which he terms doubt loop learning. In this kind of learning the organization is able to confront the more difficult problems that affect organizations in a time of transition. In his new introduction Argyris reviews the strengths and limitations of the argument advanced in Integrating the Individual and the Organization. He describes why the pyramidal structure endures and why creating a self-learning organization is an even more challenging task than he has imagined. The book will be of interest to professionals with a long-standing interest in organizational development as well as those just entering the field managers confronting the challenge of organization change and researchers in organizational behavior and theory.

Physique Fitness and Performance

Physique Fitness and Performance

Totally revised and updated this second edition of the well-received Physique Fitness and Performance retains the unique integrated approach of its predecessor examining the relationship of structure to function in human performance. Far surpassing the limited focus of standard exercise and fitness books it combines the morphological study of physique relative to body structure body size and body composition with the applied interaction of muscular cardiovascular motor and metabolic system capacities abilities and skills developed and acquired through exercise and training programs. Establishing a background and history for the current prevalent interrelationships between physique and physical performance the book begins by outlining the morphological physical motor and metabolic component areas of study involved in physical training. Part One introduces the study of the structure-function relationships relating body structure size and composition to fitness and physical performance. Part Two and Part Three present an overview of the quantitative and qualitative study of physical and physiological conditioning motor learning and motor control specifically regarding the development of motor skill within general/open loop and specific/closed loop parameter guidelines. It also covers fatigue and its physiological and psychological effects on training processes. Part Four explores nutrition and the utilization of carbohydrates fats proteins water vitamins and minerals during physical training. It includes an overview of lipids lipoproteins cholesterol and atherosclerosis; dietary goals and guidelines; and risk factors relating to heart disease and obesity within health and fitness parameter guidelines. Finally extensive appendices present the pertinent figures tables and forms used in evaluation and programming. Including chapter summaries glossaries and references as well as detailed and extensive appendices for me
