This volume contains the invited papers presented at the IUTAM Symposium on Multibody Dynamics and Interaction Control in Virtual and Real Environments held in Budapest, Hungary, June 7-11 2010.The symposium aimed to bring together specialists in the fields of multibody system modeling, contact/collision mechanics and control of mechanical systems.The offered topics included modeling aspects, mechanical and mathematical models, the question of neglections and simplifications, reduction of large systems, interaction with environment like air, water and obstacles, contact of all types, control concepts, control stability and optimization.Discussions between experts in these fields made it possible to exchange ideas about the recent advances in multibody system modeling and interaction control, as well as about the possible future trends. The presentations of recent scientific results may facilitate the interaction between scientific areas like system/control engineering and mechanical engineering.Papers on dynamics modeling and interaction control were selected to cover the main areas: mathematical modeling, dynamic analysis, friction modeling, solid and thermomechanical aspects, and applications. A significant outcome of the meeting was the opening towards applications that are of key importance to the future of nonlinear dynamics.

Product Description: rd This book constitutes a collection of extended versions of papers presented at the 23 IFIP TC7 Conference on System Modeling and Optimization, which was held in C- cow, Poland, on July 23–27, 2007. It contains 7 plenary and 22 contributed articles, the latter selected via a peer reviewing process...read more

This monograph discusses the internal migration and regional population dynamics in China at the provincial level. Internal migration is important in the process of national socio-economic integration. Little has been written until recently about the internal migration in China due to lack of systematic data. This monograph makes a systematic analysis of the internal migration in China using recent population data. The regional population trends since the 1950s are also analyzed to examine if there are major changes in the spatial patterns of population. Finally, a consistent regional population projection is made for the period 1987-2087 using a multiregional population model. This model ensures that the regional totals are consistent with national population projections while detailed regional population trends are revealed. The implications of regional population dynamics for socio-economic development and planning are discussed in the concluding chapter.

Global Business Today has become an established text in the International Business market for its excellent, but concise coverage of the key global issues including the cultural context for global business, cross-border trade and investment, the global monetary system and competition in the global environment. GBT's concise chapters give a general introduction to international business - emphasizing the environmental factors, with less coverage of operations.Charles Hill is renowned for his attention to research trends and that is evident in GBT through a variety of real world examples and cases from small, medium, and large companies throughout the world.2003 Postscript -. 32 pages make up this postscript edition. In this postscript, we review some important developments that have occurred since the manuscript for the second edition of this book was sent to the publishers, and we discuss the implications of these developments for international business. One development has been the continuing globalization of the world economy. Here we update the statistics contained in this book and look at the 2001 slowdown in the rate of economic growth across the three major economics of the world-the United States, Japan and the European Union. The FDI is revisited and as well. A second important development has been the growing tide of protests against globalization. Here we review the reasons for the protests and discuss their implications. Another important development was the formal adoption of euro notes and coins by 12 nations of the European Union on January 1st, 2002. In this postscript edition, the progress of the euro to date is examined. The postscript closes with a review of theeconomic and political achievements of the twentieth century and a discussion of the outlook for the early years of the twenty first century.
