1935947Berlin: Julius Springer 1935. 1st Edition. FIRST EDITION IN ORIGINAL PRINTED WRAPS OF THE "LANDMARK" PAPER PRESENTING THE PREISACH MODEL OF HYSTERESIS Mayergoyz Mathematical Models of Hysteresis 1. <br /> <br /> The Preisach model is a well-known hysteresis identification method in which the hysteresis is modeled by linear combination of hysteresis operators. First introduced by Ferenc Franz Preisach in this paper the widely accepted Preisach model of hysteresis "generalizes hysteresis loops as the parallel connection of independent relay hysterons" a two-valued operator used to model hysteresis Wikipedia.<br /> <br /> Hysteresis is a form of non-linearity with memory an example being a magnet that may "have more than one possible magnetic moment in a given magnetic field depending on how the field changed in the past" Wikipedia. In the Preisach model specifically hysteresis is described starting from the hypothesis that a free-energy profile characterized by multiple local minima and metastable state can be decomposed into a set of many elementary bistable contribution. Each bistable unit can occupy one of two states and - and is characterized by two reduced fields the local coercive field and an interaction field" Mayergoyz The Science of Hysteresis 101. <br /> <br /> "Preisach's approach was purely intuitive. It was based on a plausible hypotheses concerning the physical mechanisms of magnetization. For this reason the Preisach model was first regarded as a physical model of hysteresis" Mayergoyz. The model remains frequently in use is a wide variety of the sciences — from mathematics to engineering mechanics economics and biology.

942941 folding leaves. Large 8vo 337 x 206 mm. orig. semi-stiff wrappers new stitching. Korea: Simdo æ²éƒ½ 1756.<br /> <br> <br> <br /> First edition and rare; WorldCat lists only one printed copy at Berkeley. This book of exhortations on good government with striking royal calligraphy was written by King YÅngjo or Yeongjo of ChosÅn 1694-1776 in 1756. At this time YÅngjo was commemorating the death of his father the previous king. According to Fang Chaoying 1908-85 YÅngjo then in his 65th year “could not foresee that he was to live twenty more years and so it appears that he was trying to justify himself in his own mind with regard to posterity as well as to the ancestors whom he expected to face any day†The Asami Library 115. YÅngjo offered three main principles for a king to follow: “to venerate Heaven to love the people and to treat the officials with respect†ibid.<br /> <br> <br> Large standard script characters written by the king himself are reproduced in the beginning of the book. The king’s brush records Confucian assertions such as “the following of human nature is called the Way / the cultivation of the Way is called instruction.†Accepting the Mencian dictum that human nature is inherently good the king continues: “I possess the good human nature / to realize the bright mandate of Heaven.â€<br /> <br> <br> The main text of the book is reproduced in the handwriting of the important scholar-official SÅ MyÅng-Ång or Seo Myeong-eung å¾å‘½è†º 1716-87. SÅ wrote in many genres and had a cosmopolitan outlook. For example he wrote a Preface to one of the major multilingual lexicographical works produced in ChosÅn in the 18th century see Söderblom Saarela “Mandarin over Manchu†379-80.<br /> <br> <br> Very fine and fresh copy beautifully printed.<br /> <br /> <br> <br> References<br /> <br> <br> Fang Chaoying.

9439Six vols. 8vo orig. blue semi-stiff wrappers orig. block-printed title labels on upper covers label on Vol. I somewhat defective new stitching. Kyoto: Yao KanbÄ“ 八尾勘兵衛 Preface by Nanshi Wenxiu dated 1417 but late 17th or 18th century.<br /> <br> <br> <br /> <br /> First edition to be printed in Japan of this collection of the words and deeds of famous Chinese monks of the Chan J.: Zen 禪 lineages. The Expanded Supplement was edited by Nanshi Wenxiu å—çŸ³æ–‡ç‡ 1345-1418 over a period of 30 years. It was first published in Jiaxing Zhejiang in 1671 a considerable time after Nanshi’s death. We assume that the Japanese edition to which our copy belongs postdates this Chinese edition. The entry for our edition in WorldCat 40222684 estimates that it is from the 17th century.<br /> <br> <br> The genre of records of the “transmission of the lamp†— a metaphor for the Buddhist teachings — fits somewhere between a biography and a collection of recorded sayings. It focuses more on the teachings of the monks featured than on the events of their lives. This makes the genre important for the intellectual history of Buddhism.<br /> <br> <br> Our copy represents the continuation of the genre which originated in the Song period. In 1004 CE the Chinese monk Daoyuan é“原 finished his great collection Jingde chuandeng lu 景德傳燈錄 Record of the Transmission of the Lamp of the Jingde Reign Period of the Song 1004-1007 CE. Daoyuan presented his work to the Song throne and the emperor had it included in the Tripitaka. Dachuan Puji 大巿™®æ¿Ÿ 1179-1253 subsequently expanded on Daoyuan’s and others’ works and compiled Wudeng huiyuan 五燈會元 Combined Sources for the Five Lamps published in the year of his death. Nanshi Wenxiu the 62nd abbot of Jingshan Temple in Hangzhou decided to compile the Expanded Supplement to Records of the Transmission of the Lamp upon noticing lacunae in Dachuan Puji’s work. The Expanded Supplement contains information on monks from the Song 960-1279 CE and Yuan 1271-1368 periods. <br /> <br> <br> Japanese reading marks have been added to parts of the text in black and red ink.<br /> <br> <br> Fine and fresh set of a very rare book; WorldCat locates only the Berkeley copy. Preserved in a chitsu. Occasional unimportant worming.<br /> <br /> <br> <br> References<br /> <br /> <br> <br> Digital Dictionary of Buddhism. http://www.buddhism-dict.net/. unknown
