An Innovative Systematic Approach to Financial Portfolio Management via PID Control

This book discusses the theory, application, and practice of PID control technology. It is designed for engineers, researchers, students of process control, and industry professionals. It will also be of interest for those seeking an overview of the subject of green automation who need to procure single loop and multi-loop PID controllers and who aim for an exceptional, stable, and robust closed-loop performance through process automation. Process modeling, controller design, and analyses using conventional and heuristic schemes are explained through different applications here. The readers should have primary knowledge of transfer functions, poles, zeros, regulation concepts, and background. The following sections are covered: The Theory of PID Controllers and their Design Methods, Tuning Criteria, Multivariable Systems: Automatic Tuning and Adaptation, Intelligent PID Control, Discrete, Intelligent PID Controller, Fractional Order PID Controllers, Extended Applications of PID, and Practical Applications. A wide variety of researchers and engineers seeking methods of designing and analyzing controllers will create a heavy demand for this book: interdisciplinary researchers, real time process developers, control engineers, instrument technicians, and many more entities that are recognizing the value of shifting to PID controller procurement

Relações luso-italianas na Idade Moderna

UID/HIS/04666/2013 PEst-OE/HIS/UI0442/2011Este volume reúne trabalhos de vários investigadores que mostram o relevo da presença italiana no Império português e a centralidade de Lisboa na história desta comunidade e, em particular, a importância da Igreja de Nossa Senhora do Loreto dos Italianos edificada pelos própios italianos em 1518. A diversidade dos tópicos abordados reflecte bem a importância da interdisciplinariedade no estudo das relações luso-italianas e na análise sócio-económica da comunidade italiana em Lisboa.publishersversionpublishe

Linking Sustainability and Customer Relationship Management: A Bibliometric Analysis

This study focuses on the linkage between sustainability and customer relationship management. These two topics are extensively investigated by scholars. However, their possible link is still unclear in the extant literature. In fact, there is scant scientific knowledge on how customer relationship management relates to sustainable practices both within firms and in business relationships. This is an exploratory study on the relationship between these two phenomena, conducted with bibliometric analysis. Findings provide an accurate overview of the investigated topic by trying to understand the state of the art. Moreover, theoretical, managerial and also policymakers implications are reported. Finally, a research agenda has been outlined to guide future studies on the link between sustainability and customer relationship management

Exploring the links between CRM and Sustainability: a systematic bibliometric analysis

The study develops its background from extant literature on business relationships, CRM and sustainability. The purpose of the paper is twofold. Firstly, the study aims to shed light on the role of CRM tools related to sustainable principles. The purpose is matched through a bibliometric analysis literature review to understand the linkage between these two phenomena, specifically understanding which are related topics, if there are authors from countries where the matters are more prevalent when it has been developed the aggregation of the topics, the most-cited journals and the most used keywords by scholars

The emergence of the customer relationship portfolio of a new venture: a networking process

International audienceWhile several studies have focused on the initial phases of new ventures and their first customer and supplier relationships, we have a limited understanding of how the new venture’s portfolio of customer relationships emerges. This paper aims to explore the emergence of the customer relationship portfolio of a new venture and to investigate the effects of early relationships on subsequent ones
