Parallel Climate Model Effort (Version 1) This is a joint effort to develop a DOE-sponsored parallel climate model between Los Alamos National aboratory (LANL), the Naval Postgraduate School (NPG), the US Army Corps of Engineers' Cold

CCCma has develped a number of climate simulation models for climate prediction, study of climate change and variability, and to better understand the various processes which govern our climate system. A brief description of these models and their corresponding references can be found in this section

HadCM3--Coupled atmosphere-Ocean general circulation model HadCM3 is a coupled atmosphere-ocean general circulation model(AOGCM)developed at the Hadley Centre and described by gordon et al (2000)and Pope et al (2000). Unlike earlier AOGCMs at the Hadley

There are two main limit ations in the use of Hoo theory for compensator design. First, only full complex perturb ations() Cnm can be treated in a non-conservative way in an Ho robust st ability test. Second, robust performance can only be handled in a conservative way even for full complex perturbations since st ability and performance can not be separated in the Hoo structure

Above, analysis for multivariable control systems with respect to nominal and robust st ability as well as nominal and robust performan has been assessed. It was assumed that the spec- ifications for robustness were given in terms of weight matrices Wu(s) and Wu2(s), and that the performance specifications similarly were given by weight matrices Wpi(s) and Wp2()

In this chapter a number of tools for the analysis of multivariable systems will be given.In particular, this will indude poles and zeros of multivariable sy stems the generalized Nyquist Theorem for st ability analysis of multivariable sy stems, and frequency responses for multi-

In order to be able to design a robust compensator to control a given pro cess, it is necessary not only to specify a nominal mo del of the process, but also the model uncert ainty to which the control sy stem has to be robust. The compensator is required to make the output follow variations in the reference signal and to attenuate disturbances. Hence to design the com- pensator

本书的取材是以80年代末以来国内外发表的有关废水生物处理的研究论文为主，其内容涉及除污泥消化处理之外的所有废水生物处理技术和方法。本着求新的目的，书中对许多传统方法未加或只是稍加论述。全书共分九章，其中前七章基本按照反应器形式的不同，介绍各种单元操作方法和处理工艺，后两章着重介绍目前比较热门的生物难降解物质处理和生物脱氮的研究发展状况。书中的分类方法不尽合理，例如将生物转盘列入固定床生物处理技术中加以介绍，仅是从它截然不同于生物流化床但又是生物膜法而考虑的
