Flight mechanics has assumed greater importance in today’s design, development, analysis, and evaluation of aerospace vehicles. Using a systems approach to illustrate key topics, this book reviews the basics of aerodynamics and flight mechanics, applying these concepts to the real-world testing, analysis  and evaluation of flight systems. Simulation examples rely on MATLAB and SIMULINK methods, and fuzzy logic and neural applications are presented for flight mechanics. The text addresses such areas as parameter estimation, flight simulation, flight testing and aircraft system identification using an interdisciplinary approach that combines elements of linear algebra and matrix computation.

The use of simulation models is a necessity and also an aid in the decision-making process in sustainable agricultural systems. Organizing the experimental knowledge of crop production systems without the book keeping and deductive methods of mathematics is very difficult. This book aims to guide readers in the process by which the properties of the systems can be grasped in the framework of mathematical structure with minimal mathematical prerequisites. The objective of this book is to help the undergraduate, graduate and post-graduate students in the disciplines of agronomy, plant breeding, agricultural meteorology, crop physiology, agricultural economics, entomology, plant pathology, soil science and ecology (environmental science). This book may also be useful for administrators in various agricultural universities in order to direct research, extension and teaching activities. Planners at national and state levels may also benefit from this book.

The semantic web provides a common framework that allows data to be shared and reused across applications, enterprises, and community boundaries. The major concern today is securing these semantic webs to ensure that they are dependable. Building Trustworthy Semantic Webs addresses this important topic. Including numerous exercises to make it suitable as both a textbook and as a reference guide, this book presents detailed discussions on securing XML, RDF, and information integration. It also provides coverage of privacy for the semantic web, secure web services, as well as dependability issues such as real-time processing, faulty tolerance, and integrity for the semantic web.
