Paperback. Condizione: New. This book explores topics that are central to the field of spacecraft attitude determination and control. The authors provide rigorous theoretical derivations of significant algorithms accompanied by a generous amount of qualitative discussions of the subject matter. The book documents the development of the important concepts and methods in a manner accessible to practicing engineers, graduate-level engineering students and applied mathematicians. It includes detailed examples from actual mission designs to help ease the transition from theory to practice and also provides prototype algorithms that are readily available on the author's website.Subject matter includes both theoretical derivations and practical implementation of spacecraft attitude determination and control systems. It provides detailed derivations for attitude kinematics and dynamics and provides detailed description of the most widely used attitude parameterization, the quaternion. This title also provides a thorough treatise of attitude dynamics including Jacobian elliptical functions. It is the first known book to provide detailed derivations and explanations of state attitude determination and gives readers real-world examples from actual working spacecraft missions. The subject matter is chosen to fill the void of existing textbooks and treatises, especially in state and dynamics attitude determination. MATLAB code of all examples will be provided through an external website. Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2014.…

Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. 2013 Cambridge University Press paperback edition. Light reading wear else very good condition. Plants provide insects with a range of specific foods, such as nectar, pollen and food bodies. In exchange, they may obtain various services from arthropods. The role of food rewards in the plant-pollinator mutualism has been broadly covered. This book, first published in 2005, addresses another category of food-mediated interactions, focusing on how plants employ foods to recruit arthropod 'bodyguards' as a protection against herbivores. Many arthropods with primarily carnivorous lifestyles require plant-provided food as an indispensable part of their diet. Only recently have we started to appreciate the implications of non-prey food for plant-herbivore-carnivore interactions. Insight into this aspect of multitrophic interactions is not only crucial to our understanding of the evolution and functioning of plant-insect interactions in natural ecosystems, it also has direct implications for the use of food plants and food supplements in biological control programs. This edited volume provides essential reading for all researchers interested in plant-insect interactions. Contents: Foreword by P. W. Price 1. Food for protection: an introduction - Felix L. Wackers and Paul C. J. van Rijn PART I FOOD PROVISION BY PLANTS 2. Suitability of (extra)-floral nectar, pollen, and honeydew as insect food sources - Felix L. Wackers 3. Nectar as fuel for plant protectors - Suzanne Koptur 4. Fitness consequences of food-for-protection strategies in plants - Maurice W. Sabelis, Paul C. J. van Rijn, and Arne Janssen PART II ARTHROPODS FEEDING ON PLANT-PROVIDED FOOD 5. Food needs of adult parasitoids: behavioral adaptations and consequences - D. M. Olson, K. Takasu, and W. J. Lewis 6. Effects of plant feeding on the performance of omnivorous 'predators' - Micky D. Eubanks and John D. Styrsky 7. Nectar- and pollen-feeding by adult herbivorous insects - Jorg Romeis, Erich Stadler, and Felix L. Wackers PART III PLANT-PROVIDED FOOD AND BIOLOGICAL CONTROL 8. Impact of plant-provided food on herbivore-carnivore dynamics - Paul C. J. van Rijn and Maurice W. Sabelis 9. Does floral nectar improve biological control by parasitoids? - George E. Heimpel and Mark A. Jervis 10. Habitat diversification in biological control: the role of plant resources - T. K. Wilkinson and D. A. Landis 11. Providing plant foods for natural enemies in farming systems: balancing practicalities and theory - G. M. Gurr, S. D. Wratten, J. Tylianakis, J. Kean, and M. Keller.…
