Taking a multidisciplinary approach, this practical volume examines the structured design and optimization of efficient, energy-processing integrated circuits. It covers the monolithic integration of IC design techniques, power electronics, and control theory.

This book offers efficient designs for the implementation of controllers on underactuated ocean vessels as well as numerical simulations and real-time implementations of the control systems designed on a scale-model ship for each controller.

Wave motion is one of the broadest scientific subjects in nature. This illustrated book develops the typical basic theories and applications of water wave propagation. There is emphasis on wave-current-bottom interactions and Hamiltonian systems.

This book, with a special chapter on the problem of oil origin and the formation of hydrocarbon fields, is an in-depth study of this complex area of research. It analyzes local and regional regularities in the formation of deep fluids in petroliferous basins.
