  • Vehicular Platoon System Design

    Fundamentals and Robustness
    • 1st Edition
    • Hui Zhang + 3 more
    • English
    Vehicular Platoon System Design: Fundamentals and Robustness provides a comprehensive introduction to connected and automated vehicular platoon system design. Platoons decrease the distances between cars or trucks using electronic, and possibly mechanical, coupling. This capability allows many cars or trucks to accelerate or brake simultaneously. It also allows for a closer headway between vehicles by eliminating reacting distance needed for human reaction. The book considers the key issues of robustness and cybersecurity, with optimization-based model predictive control schemes applied to control vehicle platoon.In the controller design part, several practical problems, such as constraint handling, optimal control performance, robustness against disturbance, and resilience against cyberattacks are reviewed. In addition, the book provides detailed theoretical analysis of the stability of the platoon under different control schemes.

  • The Current and Future Impact of Cytopathology on Patient Care, An Issue of Surgical Pathology Clinics

    • 1st Edition

    In this issue of Surgical Pathology Clinics, guest editor Dr. Christopher J. VandenBussche brings his considerable expertise to the topic of The Current and Future Impact of Cytopathology on Patient Care. Top experts discuss how minimally invasive procedures can provide critical information to guide patient management—for example, cytopathology specimens that allow for the timely and personalized treatment of patients, reducing the number of more costly and invasive procedures. This issue focuses on the recognition of critical cytomorphologic features, current and developing options for ancillary testing, and the potential use of cytopathology specimens in precision medicine (precision cytopathology).
