Alfonso Rodríguez Book order

Originally written in the 16th century by Spanish Jesuit Alfonso Rodríguez, The Practice of Christian Perfection is a classic text of Christian moral and spiritual guidance. This new edition, translated by Joseph Rickaby, offers a modern English rendering of Rodríguez's teachings. Drawing on biblical and theological sources, Rodríguez provides practical advice for living a life of Christian virtue and holiness.

Recognized for its cultural significance, this work contributes to the foundational knowledge of civilization. Scholars have highlighted its importance, emphasizing its role in understanding historical and societal contexts. The text serves as a vital resource for those exploring the development of human thought and culture.

Autonomous systems require reasoning and decision-making capabilities in real time. In order to comply with these timing requirements, computing tasks have to be performed as fast as possible. The problem arises when computations are no longer simple, but very time-consuming operations. A good example can be found in autonomous navigation systems with visual-tracking submodules where Kalman filtering is the most extended solution. However, in recent years, some interesting new approaches have been developed. Particle filtering, given its more general problem-solving features, has reached an important position in the field. Traditional approaches to particle filtering or evolutionary computation have been developed in software platforms, including parallel capabilities to some extent. In this work, an additional goal is fully exploiting hardware implementation advantages. By using the computational resources available in a FPGA device, better performance results in terms of computation time are expected. These hardware resources will be in charge of extensive repetitive computations. With this hardware-based implementation, real-time features are also expected.
