This book presents the proceedings of the 20th Polish Control Conference. A triennial event that was first held in 1958, the conference successfully combines its long tradition with a modern approach to shed light on problems in control engineering, automation, robotics and a wide range of applications in these disciplines. The book presents new theoretical results concerning the steering of dynamical systems, as well as industrial case studies and worked solutions to real-world problems in contemporary engineering. It particularly focuses on the modelling, identification, analysis and design of automation systems; however, it also addresses the evaluation of their performance, efficiency and reliability. Other topics include fault-tolerant control in robotics, automated manufacturing, mechatronics and industrial systems. Moreover, it discusses data processing and transfer issues, covering a variety of methodologies, including model predictive, robust and adaptive techniques, as well as algebraic and geometric methods, and fractional order calculus approaches. The book also examines essential application areas, such as transportation and autonomous intelligent vehicle systems, robotic arms, mobile manipulators, cyber-physical systems, electric drives and both surface and underwater marine vessels. Lastly, it explores biological and medical applications of the control-theory-inspired methods.

Cervical Cancer: Contemporary Management is indeed a state-of-the-art textbook on cervix cancer. The contents are organized into 8 sections and 33 chapters with the latter consistently and sequentially structured with an initial outline, introduction, descriptive but focused narrative complemented by quality figures, diagrams, tables and photographs and supported by contemporary references affording ease of access to appropriate resource information. This may be the only book of its kind comprehensively addressing all aspects of cervical cancer beginning with screening, diagnosis and management of pre-invasive disease which includes screening in low resource countries, recent advances in screening technology, HPV carcinogenesis, molecular markers and of course primary prevention with HPV vaccination. Staging protocols, imaging techniques and sentinel node evaluation have been discussed in detail. Surgical management of cervical cancer is complete in all respects. All surgical techniques ranging from radical trachelectomy, radical abdominal hysterectomy, laparoscopic nerve-sparing radical hysterectomy, radical vaginal hysterectomy and the complications of surgery are described in detail. Emphasis in many chapters is on nerve-sparing radical hysterectomy which is known to reduce bladder, rectal and sexual dysfunction postoperatively. Postradiation hysterectomy and pelvic exenterations have been extensively covered. Renowned national and international surgeons have contributed well-written chapters which speak for their experience and expertise. Likewise, the radiation arm of cancer cervix therapy is extensive and ranges from radiation therapy: principles and techniques, chemoradiation, neoadjuvant chemotherapy, management of recurrent disease by both chemotherapy and radiation and interstitial brachytherapy. Image-guided techniques and treatment planning have been described wherever appropriate. This book is valuable and finds itself on the bookshelves of all those who practice gynecologic oncology, postgraduate students and fellows specializing in this field.

Diabetes can limit blood supply to the feet resulting in loss of feeling, which means foot injuries do not heal well and may go unnoticed. People with diabetes are 15 times more likely to have a limb amputated due to gangrene (NHS Choices). This book is a complete guide to the care of diabetic foot. Beginning with the basics of the condition, clinical examination and assessment, the following chapters describe management strategies for diabetic foot resulting from different disorders. This comprehensive manual includes more than 300 images, illustrations and tables, and each chapter offers suggestions for further reading.

This book contains 38 papers authored by both scientists and practitioners focused on an interdisciplinary approach to the development of cyber-physical systems. Recently our civilization has been facing one of the most severe challenges in modern history. The COVID-19 pandemic devastated the global economy and significantly disrupted numerous areas of economic activity. Only radical increase of efficiency and versatility of industrial production, with further limitation of human involvement, paralleled by the decrease of environmental burden, will enable us to cope with such challenges. We hope that the presented book provides input to the solution of at least some problems brought about by this challenge. This approach relies on the development of measuring techniques, robotic and mechatronic systems, industrial automation, numerical modeling and simulation as well as application of artificial intelligence techniques required by the transformation leading to Industry 4.0.

This text will serve as a useful resource for physicians managing jugular paragangliomas;the most common tumors of the jugular foramen. It reviews the challenges often faced in the management of these tumors due to the close proximity to critical adjacent structures including the dura, major vasculature, otic capsule and coursing cranial nerves. More conservative treatment options such as single fraction or fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy, subtotal tumor resection, and conservative observation that minimize morbidity and improve patient function and quality of life is also covered. Contemporary Management of Jugular Paraganglioma provides a concise yet comprehensive overview of the current status of the field that will help guide otolaryngologists, neurosurgeons, facial plastic surgeons, speech pathologists and residents involved in the care of patients with jugular paraganglioma.

Both society and markets have changed, and the art of innovation has changed with them, becoming increasingly complex. The book comprises the chapters of twenty-two European innovation researchers. The authors challenge existing innovation theory and management dogma and present new theoretical perspectives. Beginning with theoretical analyses of the innovation management field, the book turns to the institutional and geographic factors underlying innovation, and the potential posed by a 'soft' or organizational view of innovation management, before concluding with a section on the management of knowledge, information and appropriability.
