The immediate attention of the control systems engineer is directed to the dynamic behavior of the system under study. It is important to study the effects on overall system performance by varying one or more parameters (mass, inertia, gain, resistance, etc.). It is equally important to determine whether a desired dynamic behavior can be achieved with any set of values for the parameters--if not, redesign is indicated. A control systems analysis package is developed using parameter plane methods. It is an interactive, user-friendly comptuter aid. Given a characteristic equation containing two variable parameters, the output of the analysis may be either tabular or graphical, with plots of any of the following types: 1) Constant damping curves as a function of frequency, 2) Constant frequency curves as a function of damping, 3) Constant sigma lines (real root lines), 4) Constant zeta-omega (damping-frequency) curves.

7Mother Earth, Vol. 1 No. 1, March 1906

By Max Baginski, Edwin Bjorkman, Frances Maule Bjorkman, John Russell Coryell, Emma Goldman, Maxim Gorky, Bolton Hall, Harry May Kelly and Grace Potter

"Mother Earth was an American anarchist journal that described itself as "A Monthly Magazine Devoted to Social Science and Literature". Founded in early 1906 and initially edited by Emma Goldman, an activist in the United States, it published articles by contemporary activists and writers in Europe as well as the US, in addition to essays by historic figures." This is Volume 1 of the series - Summary by Wikepedia

These are some of the wonderful little stories about animals written by Beatrix Potter. The disobedient little Peter who sneaks where he should not go and gets into a scary situation is just one of her nifty tales. This is storytelling at its best: warm and fuzzy and sometimes with a moral for little ears, but not too often. Welcome to the hippity-hoppity world of bunnies and other little creatures who have difficulties but always find a way out. - Summary by Phil Chenevert

9Castle of Twilight

By Margaret Horton Potter

"Wistfully I deliver up to you my simple story, knowing that the first suggestion of “historical novel” will bring before you an image of dreary woodenness and unceasing carnage. Yet if you will have the graciousness but to unlock my castle door you will find within only two or three quiet folk who will distress you with no battles nor strange oaths. Even in the days of rival Princes and never-ending wars there dwelt still a few who took no part in the moil of life, but lived with gentle pleasures and unvoiced sorrows, somewhat as you and I; wherefore, I pray you, cross the moat. The drawbridge is down for you, and will not be raised, if, after introduction to the Chatelaine, you desire speedily to retreat." - Summary by Margaret Horton Potter
