Complex Systems: Chaos and Beyond

A Constructive Approach with Applications in Life Sciences

By: Kunihiko Kaneko,Ichiro Tsuda

This book, the first in a series on this subject, is the outcome of many years of efforts to give a new all-encompassing approach to complex systems in nature based on chaos theory. While maintaining a high level of rigor, the authors avoid an overly complicated mathematical apparatus, making the book accessible to a wider interdisciplinary readership.

The Mercantile Ethical Tradition in Edo Period Japan

A Comparative Analysis with Bushido

By: Ichiro Horide

This book demonstrates that during Japan’s early modern Edo period (1603–1868) an ethical code existed among the merchant class comparable to that of the well-known Bushido. There is compelling evidence that contemporary merchants, who were widely and openly despised as immoral by the samurai, in fact acted in highly ethical ways in accordance with a well-articulated moral code. Japanese society was strictly stratified into four distinct and formally recognized classes: warrior, farmer, craftsman and merchant. From the warriors’ perspective, the merchants, at the base of the social order, had no virtue, and existed only to skim profits as middlemen between producers and consumers. But were these accusations correct? Were the merchants really unethical beings who engaged in unfair business practices? There is ample evidence that negates the ubiquitous slanders of the warrior class and suggests that merchants – no less than the warriors – possessed and acted in accordance with a well-developed ethical code, a spirit that may be called shonindo or “The Way of the Merchant.” This book examines whether a comparison of shonindo, depicting the ethical point of view of the merchant class, and Bushido, embodying that of the warrior class, reveals that shonindo may have in fact surpassed Bushido in some aspects. Comparing contemporarily published historical documents concerning both shonindo and Bushido, as well as Inazo Nitobe’s classic work Bushido: The Soul of Japan, published in 1900, the author examines how Bushido surpassed shonindo in that warriors were willing to die for their strict ethical code. Shonindo, however, may have surpassed Bushido in that merchants were liberal, willing to expand and extend application of their ethical beliefs into all aspects of everyday life for the overall benefit of society. This ethical code is compared with that of the conservative Bushido, which demonstrably proved not up to the task for the modernization and improved well-being of Japan. Ichiro Horide is professor emeritus of Reitaku University. Edward Yagi (Reitaku University) and Stanley J. Ziobro II (Trident Technical College) collaborated in the translation of the original Japanese manuscript into English.

Introduction to Image Acquisition and Display Technologies

Photon manipulation in image sensors and displays

By: Ichiro Fujieda

In this valuable reference work, Ichiro Fujieda focuses on the component technologies, device configurations, and operation principles of image acquisition and display technologies and provides detailed use cases to give practical guidance on the various current and potential future applications of these technologies. The technology and the physics behind these devices can be grouped into three categories: optical technology, material science, and semiconductor device technology. This book enables readers to gain an understanding of these three areas in relation to the flow of image information and several example applications of the technology. Fujieda first describes the building blocks of image sensors and displays (detectors, light sources, transistors, and wavefront control devices) and their configurations, operation principles, and characteristics. He then describes in more detail image sensor technology (including MOS image sensors, CCD technologies, and X-ray and infrared imagers) and displays (including thin-film transistor arrays, LCDs, OLEDs, MEMS devices, and more). Finally, he provides real-world examples of how these technologies are used together to give the reader an understanding of their practical applications and their potential use in future devices. Some important laws in optics and definitions in color science are included for easy reference. Through this approach, the reader will gain a detailed understanding of each of the component parts of existing imaging devices and will be able to apply this to future developments within the field. This book will benefit any advanced undergraduate and graduate student and industry professional who wishes to expand his or her understanding of the hardware handling digital images. Some basic knowledge is required on semiconductor device physics and the interaction of radiation with matter, though these are described in the appropriate sections.
