The two main problems with variable-structure control are control input chattering and the assumption of known parameter uncertainty bounds, the second of which is studied. The robustness of a recently proposed variable-structure control approach wit... Read More about Variable structure adaptive control of robot manipulators.

Anarchy on the Internet: obstacles and opportunities for alternative electronic publishing. (1996)
Journal Article
Atton, C. (1996). Anarchy on the Internet: obstacles and opportunities for alternative electronic publishing. Anarchist studies, 4, 115-132

The article summarises the constraints on alternative (print) publishing: economic, legal and social. It suggests that electronic publishing on the Internet might dispense with such constraints. After a discussion of anarchist views of the Internet,... Read More about Anarchy on the Internet: obstacles and opportunities for alternative electronic publishing..
