This monograph introduces methods for handling filtering and control problems in nonlinear stochastic systems arising from network-induced phenomena consequent on limited communication capacity. Such phenomena include communication delay, packet dropout, signal quantization or saturation, randomly occurring nonlinearities and randomly occurring uncertainties.The text is self-contained, beginning with an introduction to nonlinear stochastic systems, network-induced phenomena and fil...

This book is concerned with the variance-constrained optimized filtering problems and their potential applications for nonlinear time-varying dynamical systems. The distinguished features of this book are highlighted as follows.(1) A unified framework is provided for handling the variance-constrained filtering problems of nonlinear time-varying dynamical systems with incomplete information.(2) The application potentials of variance-constrained optimized filtering in network...

This Element aims to provide a comprehensive and in-depth exploration of the issue of plagiarism in second language writing. It first outlines the importance of plagiarism as a real-world issue cutting across educational and cultural contexts and touches upon several prominent controversies over the issue. Then the Element defines and conceptualises plagiarism by critically examining the diverse extant definitions and discussing various discourses on plagiarism. Following that, it explores...

This book depicts the evolution of Singapore’s family and population landscape in the last half a century, the related public policies, and future challenges. Since the country gained independence in 1965, family and population policies have been integral to her nation-building strategies. The chapters discuss the changes in population compositions, family structures, relations, and values among major ethnic groups. They also discuss policies for vulnerable populations such as female-heade...

The book offers a thorough review of the historical evolution of the economic theory of socialism with Chinese characteristics since the reform and opening-up, systematically analyzing the substantial achievements and significant successes China has made over the past 40 years. It covers various areas, including the basic socialist economic system, market economy theory, the theory of the primary stage of socialism, income distribution theory, macroeconomic regulation, and foreign opening-...

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the latest research in the role of non-neuronal cells - astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, endothelial cells, pericytes, microglia, and other immune cells in ischemic brain injury and long-term recovery. In these cases, neurodegeneration and brain repair are controlled in a sophisticated system, incorporating interactions between different cell types and cellular systems. Also explored are the therapeutic strategies that target non-neuronal respons...
