Book Description
"Hybrid systems are those that-unlike classical systems-exhibit both discrete changes, or "jumps", and continuous changes, or "flow." The canonical example of a hybrid system is a bouncing ball: the ball's speed changes continuously between bounces, but there is a discrete jump in velocity each time the ball impacts the ground. Hybrid systems feature widely across disciplines, including in biology, computer science, and mechanical engineering; examples range from fireflies to self-driving cars. Although classical control theory provides powerful tools for analyzing systems that exhibit either flow or jumps, it is ill-equipped to handle hybrid systems, which feature both behaviors. In Hybrid Feedback Control, Ricardo Sanfelice presents a self-contained introduction to the control of hybrid systems, and develops new tools for their design and analysis. This monograph uses hybrid systems notation to present a new, unified control theory framework, thus filling an important gap in the control theory literature. In addition to presenting this theoretical framework, the book also includes a variety of examples and exercises, a Matlab toolbox, and a summary at the beginning of each chapter. The book was originally used in a series of lectures on the topic, and will find a modest amount of crossover course use. The book will also find use outside the field of control, particularly in dynamical systems theory, applied mathematics, and computer science"--

Book Description
An urban fantasy paranormal romance adventure featuring Shifters, Witches, and fated mates. Hybrid Shifter. Assassin. Outcast. This assignment might change her future… Like others in the League, I was designed to be a hollow killing machine. Taught to have no feelings, no desires, no dreams of my own. That part was easy when you were a loner. I did not need friends. I just wanted to survive. Unlike the rest, I was classified as a mistake. Created in the Lab by a foolish scientist who’d been killed for his failure on the day I first Shifted into the hybrid monster he’d given me, I was a living, breathing error. The Director and Avalonia never failed to remind me of my shortcomings, as did everyone else in the Assassin compound in the realm of Icarus. ERR394N was my designation. I had no name. Nothing personal to humanize me to my handlers. I was a weapon, and I was good at my job, obeying orders, and taking lives. I learned early to hone my skills. Hacking difficult systems, burning through firewalls, and uncovering secrets were only parts of my talents. I was an expert marksman, too. What could I say? For a Shifter, I liked guns. But even my prowess could not save me from drawing the jobs no one else wanted. My latest assignment was supposed to be easy. Go to Earth. End the target. Only everything went sideways the moment I saw him. He was the one person who was not supposed to exist—my fated mate. Both our lives were now in danger. Unless I could stop it. KEYWORDS: witch, shifter, hybrid shifter, paranormal romance, fated mates, urban fantasy, scifi fantasy romance

Book Description
Begun in 2010 as part of the “Histories of Literatures in European Languages” series sponsored by the International Comparative Literature Association, the current project on New Literary Hybrids in the Age of Multimedia Expression recognizes the global shift toward the visual and the virtual in all areas of textuality: the printed, verbal text is increasingly joined with the visual, often electronic, text. This shift has opened up new domains of human achievement in art and culture. The international roster of 24 contributors to this volume pursue a broad range of issues under four sets of questions that allow a larger conversation to emerge, both inside the volume’s sections and between them. The four sections cover, 1) Multimedia Productions in Theoretical and Historical Perspective; 2) Regional and Intercultural Projects; 3) Forms and Genres; and, 4) Readers and Rewriters in Multimedia Environments. The essays included in this volume are examples of the kinds of projects and inquiries that have become possible at the interface between literature and other media, new and old. They emphasize the extent to which hypertextual, multimedia, and virtual reality technologies have enhanced the sociality of reading and writing, enabling more people to interact than ever before. At the same time, however, they warn that, as long as these technologies are used to reinforce old habits of reading/ writing, they will deliver modest results. One of the major tasks pursued by the contributors to this volume is to integrate literature in the global informational environment where it can function as an imaginative partner, teaching its interpretive competencies to other components of the cultural landscape.

Book Description
In a world where the laws of the pack are etched in blood, one woman will rewrite destiny itself. Kamilah Ziraili, an omega in the Dark Crest Pack, burns with an unquenchable desire for Darian, the Alpha's son. But her fury drives her to gamble everything for power, swearing off any mate until the Child of Prophecy arrives. She breaks the sacred werewolf code, forming a pack of fierce she-wolves, making her both a threat and a beacon of hope. Werewolves and humans have always coexisted, along with vampires lurking in the shadows. However, history has never witnessed a werewolf-vampire hybrid—until Alpha Magnus of the Bloodlust Pack emerged. As Kamilah's mate, he offers his aid, setting the world on fire, both with chaos and passion. To add to the turmoil, the bloodthirsty Vampire Gusev is drawn into the fray. Now, with the Lycan King, the tri-blood, and the elder Druscilla conspiring to erase Kamilah from existence, the Great War looms on the horizon. Will love and destiny triumph over ancient laws and bitter enemies? The thrilling journey of the Destined Series begins with Book 1, a tale that will grip your heart and leave you yearning for more.

Book Description
This book offers a glimpse into the future. The companies it describes are pioneers, the first-movers in market shifts that will eventually become mainstream. These "hybrid organizations" – or what others call "values-driven" or "mission-driven" organizations – operate in the blurry space between the for-profit and non-profit worlds. They are redefining their supply chains, their sources of capital, their very purpose for being; and in the process they are changing the market for others. Using a combination of high-level survey analysis and, more importantly, in-depth executive interviews, the book helps fill the present gap in literature on environmentally focused and financially driven for-profit businesses. Moreover, it highlights key trends and critical themes that enable this new wave of socially conscious and fiscally minded enterprises to be successful in meeting both sets of goals. The takeaway for readers of this book is not only an appreciation for common business practices that hybrid organizations adopt, but also an understanding of the complexity of the integration of such adoption that allows them to successfully achieve both mission- and market-driven goals. The book begins with key definitions to establish the scope of this new sector, including explicit definitions for hybrid organizations, environmental sustainability missions, as well as specific criteria to create useful boundaries for the field of hybrid organizations. Building on prior work conducted by researchers on corporate social responsibility, sustainable entrepreneurship, and social enterprise, the book catalogues the best practices within this growing sector, helping others to learn from both the successes and failures of those that are choosing this strategy. The core of the book is built on an analysis of survey data from 47 hybrid organizations, investigating their business models and strategies, finances, organizational structures, processes, metrics, and innovations. The organizations represent a cross-section of size, age, industry, and geography, although the sample set is biased towards young, small, U.S.-based hybrids. Based on analysis of the survey data, five best-in-class companies were selected for in-depth case studies in order to provide instructive lessons for hybrid practitioners and researchers alike. In short, this book presents research that shows hybrid organizations to be a practical and feasible organizational model for contributing solutions to global environmental issues. The lessons in this book will help other social entrepreneurs, business managers, non-profit leaders, or students interested in careers that fuse profitability and responsibility do it even better.
