Advances in Terahertz Source Technologies

By: Gun-Sik Park,Masahiko Tani,Jae-Sung Rieh,Sang Yoon Park

During the past several decades, tremendous progress has been made in terahertz (THz) science and technology. There is a continuing need to have terahertz waves ready for practical applications. Terahertz photonic and electronic devices are being readied to be employed in application systems such as communication links, satellite communications, radar, surveillance, hard/soft material heating, biomedical treatment, and biomedical diagnostics. This book focuses on the advances in terahertz source technologies both from photonics and electronics (solid-state and vacuum-state) points of view. Written in a noncomplicated language, the book will be useful for a broad spectrum of readers, including advanced undergraduate- and graduate-level students in electronics and photonics, researchers in various disciplines in physics, chemistry, biology, astronomy, and electrical engineering, system engineers in various industrial sectors, general readers, and those who are interested in the interaction between electromagnetic waves and matters and in the effects of electromagnetic waves on matters.

An Introduction to Teichmüller Spaces

By: Yoichi Imayoshi,Masahiko Taniguchi

This book offers an easy and compact access to the theory of TeichmA1/4ller spaces, starting from the most elementary aspects to the most recent developments, e.g. the role this theory plays with regard to string theory. TeichmA1/4ller spaces give parametrization of all the complex structures on a given Riemann surface. This subject is related to many different areas of mathematics including complex analysis, algebraic geometry, differential geometry, topology in two and three dimensions, Kleinian and Fuchsian groups, automorphic forms, complex dynamics, and ergodic theory. Recently, TeichmA1/4ller spaces have begun to play an important role in string theory. Imayoshi and Taniguchi have attempted to make the book as self-contained as possible. They present numerous examples and heuristic arguments in order to help the reader grasp the ideas of TeichmA1/4ller theory. The book will be an excellent source of information for graduate students and reserachers in complex analysis and algebraic geometry as well as for theoretical physicists working in quantum theory.

Response Control and Seismic Isolation of Buildings

By: Masahiko Higashino,Shin Okamoto

This state of the art report from an international task group (TG44) of CIB, the International Council of Building Research Organizations, presents a highly authoritative guide to the application of innovative technologies on response control and seismic isolation of buildings to practice worldwide. Many countries and cities are located in earthquake-prone areas making effective seismic design a major issue in structural engineering. Reassuringly, structural response control and seismic isolation have advanced remarkably in recent years following numerous studies internationally. Several major conferences have been held and reports have been written but little has been issued on the application of the technologies to good structural engineering practice. Plugging that gap, Response Control and Seismic Isolation of Buildings presents researchers in structural engineering (dynamics) and construction management with up-to-date applications of the latest technologies.

Telling Stories in Two Languages

Multiple Approaches to Understanding English-Japanese Bilingual Children's Narratives

By: Masahiko Minami

The topic of bilingualism has aroused considerable interest in research on language acquisition in recent decades. Researchers in various fields, such as developmental psychology and psycholinguistics, have investigated bilingual populations from different perspectives in order to understand better how bilingualism affects cognitive abilities like memory, perception, and metalinguistic awareness. Telling Stories in Two Languages contributes to the general upsurge in linguistically related studies of bilingual children. The book’s particular and unique focus is narrative development in a bilingual and multicultural context. The book is particularly important in an increasingly pluralistic and multicultural United States, where there are large numbers of children from increasingly diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds. Telling stories is important in the context of language and communication development because it is often by means of this activity that children develop the skill of presenting a series of events both in speech and writing. However, varying concepts of literacy exist in different societies, and literacy has different social and personal implications in different social and cultural contexts. In our schools, teachers are expected to teach what is relevant for students in the dominant cultural framework, but it would benefit those teachers greatly to have an understanding of important differences in, for example, narrative styles of different cultures. Bilingualism or even multilingualism is all around us. Even in the United States, where a single language is clearly predominant, there are hundreds of languages spoken. Speaking more than one language may not be typical, but is so common in modern times that it would be senseless to ignore its many implications. The study of narratives told by children in both English and Japanese that are presented in this book will provide an important point of reference for research aimed at teasing apart the relative contributions of linguistic abilities and cultural conceptions to bilingual children’s narrative development.
