Mimi considers herself to be TJ a typical Japanese person. At thirty years old, she has earned a master's degree in social work and has been making coffee for eight years at Doutor, a Japanese chain of coffee houses. She's sure she could get a better job if she tried, but she still wonders if she's wasting her life. Having saved enough money, Mimi embarks on a vacation to Paris, France a holiday that turns her life upside down. While experiencing France's art and culture, she meets Eddie, a Frenchmen enamored with all things Japanese. Though from different cultures and different worlds, the two fall in love, and Eddie returns with Mimi to Japan. But what promises to transform her life is her contact with all things Chinese. This growing dragon of a country threatens to swallow up its Asian neighbors, like Japan. Could China be the source of opportunity and fulfillment that Mimi is looking for? Mimi Tokyo Paris follows Mimi as she makes her life choices against the backdrop of her relationships; her story provides an introspective look at the Japanese culture and way of life.
The book presents basic studies on ion transport properties of ionic conductive solid. It describes research on theory, modeling, simulation, crystalline structure, nuclear magnetic resonance, electric conduction, optical properties, and thermal measurement in this field. Superionic conductors are highly promising functional materials. As a stepping stone in the development of new superionic conductors that can be utilized as functinal materials efforts to reevaluate solid-interior diffusion and conduction phenomena of ions and molecules in a superionic conductor on the basis of basic physical properties, and to clarify mechanism governing these phenomena from a microscopic standpoint are important.How are diffusing ions associated with material structures within a superionic conductor? What types of interaction are diffusing ions undergoing with the host ions surrounding them? How important is the correlation among diffusing ions in their motion? The carefully presented detail of this book will be of value to research devoted to the understanding and control of functional materials such as superionic conductors.
