Book Description
"Dash combines sometimes unruly elements in highly controlled processes that nonetheless allow for the operation of chance." -Artforum This monograph is the first comprehensive overview of the work of N. Dash (born 1980), exploring the paintings, drawings and photography of this New York- and New Mexico-based American artist. N. Dash uses natural and manmade materials such as earth, pigments, graphite, fabric, string and found objects to construct conscious and intuitive abstractions, which draw on bodily movements and energy meridians, ecological systems, and other subtle or intangible structures. This volume includes major works from 2011 to 2021, and essays by Suzanne Hudson, Michael Taussig and others, with a poem by John Giorno, which explore Dash's work in art historical, anthropological and environmental contexts. N. Dash studied at New York University and Columbia University. Selected solo exhibitions have been held at venues including the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, CA; the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, Ridgefield, CT; and White Flag Projects, St. Louis, MO. Dash has been featured in group exhibitions at San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, CA; S.M.A.K. Ghent; Sammlung Goetz, Munich; the Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney; Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, CA; the Jewish Museum, New York; and Palazzo Strozzi, Florence. In 2022, Dash will have a solo exhibition at S.M.A.K. Ghent.

Book Description
From medieval conqueror to Renaissance autocrat to Victorian Empress to modern melodrama, Royal Panoply is the story of some of the most fascinating people in world history. With her trademark blend of probing scholarship, lively prose, and psychological insight, Carolly Erickson focuses on each monarch's entire life---from the puny, socially awkward Charles I, to the choleric, violent William the Conqueror, to the well-meaning, deeply affectionate Queen Anne, who was so heavy she had to be carried to her coronation. Royal Panoply recaptures the event-filled, often dangerous, always engaging lives of England's kings and queens, set against the backdrop of a thousand years of Britain's past.

Nonlinear Estimation
Author: Shovan BhaumikPublisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1351012339
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 197
Book Description
Nonlinear Estimation: Methods and Applications with Deterministic Sample Points focusses on a comprehensive treatment of deterministic sample point filters (also called Gaussian filters) and their variants for nonlinear estimation problems, for which no closed-form solution is available in general. Gaussian filters are becoming popular with the designers due to their ease of implementation and real time execution even on inexpensive or legacy hardware. The main purpose of the book is to educate the reader about a variety of available nonlinear estimation methods so that the reader can choose the right method for a real life problem, adapt or modify it where necessary and implement it. The book can also serve as a core graduate text for a course on state estimation. The book starts from the basic conceptual solution of a nonlinear estimation problem and provides an in depth coverage of (i) various Gaussian filters such as the unscented Kalman filter, cubature and quadrature based filters, Gauss-Hermite filter and their variants and (ii) Gaussian sum filter, in both discrete and continuous-discrete domain. Further, a brief description of filters for randomly delayed measurement and two case-studies are also included. Features: The book covers all the important Gaussian filters, including filters with randomly delayed measurements. Numerical simulation examples with detailed matlab code are provided for most algorithms so that beginners can verify their understanding. Two real world case studies are included: (i) underwater passive target tracking, (ii) ballistic target tracking. The style of writing is suitable for engineers and scientists. The material of the book is presented with the emphasis on key ideas, underlying assumptions, algorithms, and properties. The book combines rigorous mathematical treatment with matlab code, algorithm listings, flow charts and detailed case studies to deepen understanding.
