This book covers the most important topics that people working as process control engineers and plant operators will encounter. It focuses on PID control, explains when to use P-, PI-, PD- or PID control as well as PID tuning and includes difficult to control process nonlinearities such as valve stiction or sensor problems. The book also explains advanced control strategies that are necessary when single loop control gives insufficient results. The key features of the text in front of you are: This book is a result of teaching the material to industrial practitioners over three decades and four previous editions in Swedish, each of which was a refi nement of the previous one. A key contribution of this book is the careful selection of what is required when you are at a plant and have to make sense of what you see. The book is written in such a way that it does not assume mathematical knowledge above the compulsory school level. Process control sits between control engineering and process or chemical engineering and often there is a distinct gap between the two. By explaining both the fundamentals of control and the processes the book is written to appeal to control engineers and process engineers alike. The book includes exercises and solutions and thus lends itself for teaching in the classroom.

Am Körper tragbare Sensoren, so genannte Wearables, werden im Sportbereich immer populärer. Wearables bieten Nutzern die Möglichkeit, Rückmeldung über Technik und sportliche Leistung in Echtzeit zu erhalten, während sie Wissenschaftlern Einblicke in die Biomechanik und Physiologie von Sportlern außerhalb des Labors ermöglichen. Eine der ersten Sportarten, in welcher viele Athleten Wearables nutzten, war der Ausdauerlauf. Seit der Einführung von Smartphones und Smartwatches haben viele Läufer begonnen, sich selbst zu tracken und ein digitales Trainingstagebuch zu führen. Durch die große Anzahl an Nutzern weltweit, die ihre Daten an Fitness Plattformen übertragen haben, entstanden große Datenbanken, die nun Big Data Analysen \mbox{ermöglichen. Diese} Art von Analysen bieten Wissenschaftlern die Möglichkeit, generische Schlussfolgerungen aus longitudinalen Studien basierend auf einer größeren Anzahl an Nutzern zu ziehen als jemals zuvor.Die in dieser Dissertation präsentierten Studien zeigen zum einen, wie Rohdaten von am Körper tragbaren inertialen Messeinheiten im Ausdauerlaufen zu interpretierbaren Laufparametern verarbeitet werden und zum anderen, wie Big Data von Fitness Plattformen genutzt werden kann, um Erkenntnisse im Marathon Training zu erlangen.
