      Autonomous Electric Vehicles explores cutting-edge technologies revolutionizing transportation and city navigation. Novel solutions to the control problem of the complex nonlinear dynamics of robotized electric vehicles are developed and tested. The new control methods are free of shortcomings met in control schemes which are based on diffeomorphisms and global linearization (complicated changes of state variables, forward and backwards state-space transformations, singularities). It is shown that such methods can be used in the steering and traction system of several types of robotized electric vehicles without needing to transform the state-space model of these systems into equivalent linearized forms. It is also shown that the new control methods can be implemented in a computationally simple manner and are also followed by global stability proofs.

      Near-Boundary Fluid Mechanics focuses on the near-boundary region and its significance. It delves into topics like boundary shear stress, drag reduction using polymer additives, turbulence sources, secondary currents, log-law validity, sediment transport, and more. Unlike similar books, it emphasizes the importance of the near-boundary region. This book is organized into chapters covering internal flows, external flows, loose boundary flows, and density currents. It extends Prandtl's fundamental concept to internal flows, showing how potential flow theory can describe flow without a solid boundary.In addition, the book provides a theoretical analysis of boundary shear stress in three-dimensional flows and explores the turbulent structures in drag-reduction flows. A key feature is clarifying the role of wall-normal velocity in mass, moment, and energy transfer. Additionally, Archimedes' principle is covered to explain pressure drag and establishes a relationship between wake volume and hydrodynamic force.

      Digital Signal Processing: Fundamentals, Applications, and Deep Learning, Fourth Edition introduces students to the fundamental principles of digital signal processing (DSP) while also providing a working knowledge that they take with them into their engineering careers. Many instructive, worked examples are used to illustrate the material, and the use of mathematics is minimized for an easier grasp of concepts. As such, this title is also useful as a reference for non-engineering students and practicing engineers.This book goes beyond DSP theory, showing the implementation of algorithms in hardware and software. Additional topics covered include DSP for artificial intelligence, adaptive filtering with noise reduction and echo cancellations, speech compression, signal sampling, digital filter realizations, filter design, multimedia applications, over-sampling, etc. More advanced topics are also covered, such as adaptive filters, speech compression such as pulse-code modulation, µ-law, adaptive differential pulse-code modulation, multi-rate DSP, oversampling analog-to-digital conversion, sub-band coding, wavelet transform, and neural networks.
