Multi-agent systems are special networked systems full of research interest and practical sense, which are abundant in real life, ranging from mobile robot networks, intelligent transportation management, to multiple spacecraft, surveillance and monitoring. Consensus control is one of the most typical and hot research issues for multi-agent systems. Distributed Adaptive Consensus Control of Uncertain Multi-agent Systems provides innovative technologies to design and analyze distributed adaptive consensus for multi-agent systems with model uncertainties.Based on the basic graph theory and adaptive backstepping control, this monograph: - Describes the state of the art on distributed adaptive control, finite-time consensus control and event-triggered consensus control- Studies distributed adaptive consensus under directed communication graph condition: the methods with linearly parametric reference, hierarchical decomposition, and design of auxiliary filers- Explores adaptive finite-time consensus for uncertain nonlinear systems- Considers distributed adaptive consensus with event-triggered communication via state feedback and output feedback- Investigates distributed adaptive formation control of nonholonomic mobile robots with experimental verification- Provides distributed adaptive attitude synchronization control schemes for multiple spacecraft with event-triggered communicationDistributed Adaptive Consensus Control of Uncertain Multi-agent Systems can help engineering students and professionals to efficiently learn distributed adaptive control design tool for handling uncertain multi-agent systems with directed communication graph, guaranteeing finite-time convergence and saving communication resources.

This volume demonstrates advanced strategies in biomedical sciences and healthcare focused on suboptimal health conditions in the framework of Predictive, Preventive and Personalised Medicine (3PM/PPPM). Potential benefits in healthcare systems and for society at large include but are not restricted to an improved life-quality of major populations and socio-economical groups, advanced professionalism of healthcare-givers and sustainable healthcare economy. ​Reactive medical services applied to healthcare resulted in epidemics of non-communicable diseases such as diabetes mellitus type 2 with currently about a half of billion patients registered worldwide. Far-reaching consequences are cascading co-morbidities with poor prognosis such as severe cardiovascular and neurological disorders, eye pathologies (e.g., proliferative diabetic retinopathy as the world leading cause of blindness) and several types of cancer, amongst others. Corresponding socio-economic burden istremendous. The paradigm changes from reactive medicine to PPPM propagated by EPMA is, therefore, pivotal for advanced healthcare to improve the economy of medical services, life quality of populations and individual outcomes. To this end, individuals with suboptimal health condition comprise the target group for predictive diagnostics and cost-effective personalised treatments to protect affected individuals and sub-populations against health-to-disease transition, a window of opportunity for PPPM. This goal is of highest priority benefiting millions of people and societies at large.

Le développement des nanotechnologies et des technologies liées à l'énergie au cours des trois dernières décennies a suscité un intérêt accru pour l'application des matériaux à base de fibres de carbone dans les dispositifs de stockage d'énergie électrochimique, tels que les supercondensateurs et les batteries Li/Na-ion. Toutefois, les performances électrochimiques des matériaux à base de fibres de carbone sont étroitement liées à leur structure et à leurs méthodes de fabrication. Par conséquent, le contrôle de la micro-nanostructure des matériaux à base de fibres de carbone et la compréhension approfondie de la relation entre leur performance électrochimique, leur structure et leurs méthodes de fabrication sont des conditions essentielles pour étendre l'application de ces matériaux dans les dispositifs de stockage d'énergie électrochimique. Ce livre fournit un aperçu complet de la préparation des matériaux à base de fibres de carbone, du contrôle structurel et de l'optimisation de leurs performances électrochimiques lorsqu'ils sont utilisés comme électrodes négatives dans les batteries Li/Na-ion. Il est destiné à servir de guide pour les chercheurs et les praticiens dans ce domaine, offrant des preuves théoriques et expérimentales pour les applications électrochimiques des matériaux à base de fibres de carbone.

O desenvolvimento da nanotecnologia e das tecnologias relacionadas com a energia nas últimas três décadas conduziu a um interesse crescente na aplicação de materiais à base de fibras de carbono em dispositivos electroquímicos de armazenamento de energia, tais como supercapacitores e baterias de iões de lítio e de íons de chumbo. No entanto, o desempenho eletroquímico dos materiais à base de fibras de carbono está intimamente relacionado com a sua estrutura e métodos de fabrico. Por conseguinte, a forma de controlar a micro-nanoestrutura dos materiais à base de fibras de carbono e de obter uma compreensão profunda da relação entre o seu desempenho eletroquímico, a estrutura e os métodos de fabrico é um requisito essencial para expandir a aplicação destes materiais em dispositivos electroquímicos de armazenamento de energia. Este livro fornece uma visão abrangente da preparação de materiais à base de fibras de carbono, do controlo estrutural e da otimização do seu desempenho eletroquímico quando utilizados como eléctrodos negativos em baterias de iões de lítio/na. Destina-se a servir de guia para investigadores e profissionais da área, oferecendo provas teóricas e experimentais das aplicações electroquímicas de materiais à base de fibras de carbono.

Lo sviluppo delle nanotecnologie e delle tecnologie legate all'energia negli ultimi tre decenni ha portato a un aumento dell'interesse per l'applicazione dei materiali a base di fibra di carbonio nei dispositivi elettrochimici di accumulo dell'energia, come i supercondensatori e le batterie agli ioni di litio/na. Tuttavia, le prestazioni elettrochimiche dei materiali a base di fibra di carbonio sono strettamente correlate alla loro struttura e ai metodi di fabbricazione. Pertanto, il controllo della micro-nanostruttura dei materiali a base di fibra di carbonio e la comprensione approfondita della relazione tra le loro prestazioni elettrochimiche, la struttura e i metodi di fabbricazione sono un requisito essenziale per espandere l'applicazione di questi materiali nei dispositivi di accumulo di energia elettrochimica. Questo libro fornisce una panoramica completa sulla preparazione dei materiali a base di fibra di carbonio, sul controllo strutturale e sull'ottimizzazione delle loro prestazioni elettrochimiche quando vengono utilizzati come elettrodi negativi nelle batterie agli ioni di Li/Na. È destinato a servire da guida per i ricercatori e gli operatori del settore, offrendo prove teoriche e sperimentali per le applicazioni elettrochimiche dei materiali a base di fibra di carbonio.

Die Entwicklung der Nanotechnologie und der energiebezogenen Technologien in den letzten drei Jahrzehnten hat zu einem verstärkten Interesse an der Anwendung von Materialien auf Kohlenstofffaserbasis in elektrochemischen Energiespeichern wie Superkondensatoren und Li/Na-Ionen-Batterien geführt. Die elektrochemische Leistung von Materialien auf Kohlenstofffaserbasis hängt jedoch eng mit ihrer Struktur und ihren Herstellungsverfahren zusammen. Daher ist die Kontrolle der Mikro-Nanostruktur von Materialien auf Kohlenstofffaserbasis und ein tiefes Verständnis der Beziehung zwischen ihrer elektrochemischen Leistung, Struktur und Herstellungsmethoden eine wesentliche Voraussetzung für die Erweiterung der Anwendung dieser Materialien in elektrochemischen Energiespeichern. Dieses Buch bietet einen umfassenden Überblick über die Herstellung von Materialien auf Kohlenstofffaserbasis, die strukturelle Kontrolle und die Optimierung ihrer elektrochemischen Leistung bei der Verwendung als negative Elektroden in Li/Na-Ionen-Batterien. Es soll als Leitfaden für Forscher und Praktiker auf diesem Gebiet dienen und bietet sowohl theoretische als auch experimentelle Beweise für die elektrochemischen Anwendungen von Materialien auf Kohlenstofffaserbasis.
