Braced Oil Dampers for Buildings

Development and Analytical Modeling

By: Osamu Takahashi,Atsuki Yokoyama

The high damping force of oil damper vibration control systems in buildings offers relative safety during earthquakes and at a low environmental cost. The oil damper is connected using braces in series and is installed with pins to the building structure, which minimizes the impact on the building structure and allows installation and removal with ease. This is the first book detailing experimental work and cases of the use of oil dampers in buildings. It shows their effectiveness by detailing the testing and analysis of buildings with them placed at braced positions, exposed to small amplitude vibration, and without them. • The only comprehensive presentation of oil damper vibration control • Covers analysis and design, with case studies and details of testing and experimental results The book is organized systematically to suit students and junior professionals in structural design as well as more specialist engineers. An additional Python code sample is available online for learning the behaviors of oil dampers (Jupyter Notebook environment required). Osamu Takahashi is a professor at Tokyo University of Science, founder of Science Kozo Inc., and an advisor to the New International Structural Design & Engineering Challenge Association, in Japan. Atsuki Yokoyama works in the Research and Development Department of Sanwa Tekki Corporation and has a PhD in Engineering from Tokyo University of Science.

Understanding Contemporary Japanese Culture

By: Roger J. Davies,Osamu Ikeno

In The Japanese Mind, Roger Davies offers Westerners an invaluable key to the unique aspects of Japanese culture. Readers of this book will gain a clear understanding of what makes the Japanese, and their society, tick. Among the topics explored: aimai (ambiguity), amae (dependence upon others' benevolence), amakudari (the nation's descent from heaven), chinmoku (silence in communication), gambari (perseverance), giri (social obligation), haragei (literally, "belly art"; implicit, unspoken communication), kenkyo (the appearance of modesty), sempai-kohai (seniority), wabi-sabi (simplicity and elegance), and zoto (gift giving), as well as discussions of child-rearing, personal space, and the roles of women in Japanese society. It includes discussion topics and questions after each chapter. All in all, this book is an easy-to-use introduction to the distinguishing characteristics of Japanese society; an invaluable resource for anyone--business people, travelers, or students--perfect for course adoption, but also for anyone interested in Japanese culture.

Aichi 99 Kanbaku 'Val' Units

1937-42

By: Osamu Tagaya

The most eagerly anticipated book in the Combat Aircraft series, this volume tells the complete combat history of Japan's most deadly ship-killing aircraft. The Aichi Type 99 Carrier Bomber (D3A) – code named 'Val' by Allied intelligence – was the mainstay of the Imperial Japanese Navy's carrier dive-bomber force from 1941 to 1943. It sank more Allied warship tonnage than any other Axis aircraft during World War 2. While the Val's participation in the major carrier battles has been widely covered in other English language sources, details of its operations have received scant attention in English. This book explores the Val's combat operations. Colour illustrations and photographs complement the development of dive-bombing methods in the IJN.

ZEN & HEALTH

Wholly Wholesome Way World

By: Hajime Iwamoto; Rosan Osamu Yoshida

This book tells the true significance, necessity, merits, and possibility of the practice of Zen, Awakened Way, and the wholly wholesome way in everyone’s all daily activities and throughout one’s whole life in a new, original perspective and prognosis of them. Zazen, sitting meditation, stops all karmas (physical, verbal, mental actions and action results, which became our psycho-physical beings and behaviors), thus witnesses primordial purity, peace and prognosis. Zen is the core practice (cultivation/verification) of the Awakened Way (Buddhism), realizing unconditioned peace (nirvana) and unsurpassed awakening (anuttara sambodhi) into existence and wakeful life by them in the wholly wholesome way and world. From this vantage point it pervades and penetrates through all actions in harmonious, healthy, happy breathing, body-mouth-mind bearing, cooking, eating, executing errands, cultivating capacities, sporting in skills, etc. Anyone can come and see the detailed description of how Zen is applied and appreciated in breathing, calming and clearing minds and hearts, cooking, eating, sporting, doing duties, transforming the life ways and world in this book.

Ode to Kirihito

By: Osamu Tezuka

A promising young doctor, Kirihito Osanai visits a remote Japanese mountain village to investigate the source of the latest medical mystery. While he ends up traveling the world to discover what it takes to be cured of such a disease, a conspiracy back home attempts to explain away his absence. Hinging upon his fate are those of his loved ones: an unstable childhood friend and colleague trapped between factions of the medical establishment that nurtured him; a fiancée emotionally transformed by Kirihito’s mysterious disappearance; and a stranger who becomes his guardian angel, a sensual circus-act performer with volatile psychological secrets. From plutocratic Taipei and racially divided South Africa to backwater Arabia and modern Osaka, ambition and desire beckon “normal men” to behave uglier than any beast. Riveting our attention on deformity and its acceptance like The Elephant Man by David Lynch, Ode to Kirihito examines the true worth of human beings through and beyond appearances.

Questions in Daily Urologic Practice

Updates for Urologists and Diagnostic Pathologists

By: Ryoichi Oyasu,Ximing J. Yang,Osamu Yoshida

The principal role of the diagnostic surgical pathologist is to serve a patient by assisting the clinician in charge of the patient's care. In that capacity,the pathologist provides the vital informationthat should be directly and indirectly useful in guiding the clinician toward the most appropriate therapy. The material pathologists receive most commonly is a biopsy or a part of an organ removed after a definitive pro- dure. To extract useful information, pathological evaluation proceeds according to a set of guidelines. Simply reporting a diagnosis of cancer is inadequate. Detailed additional information is needed so that the clinician can go on to establish a the- peutic plan as needed. To best serve the patient, close interaction between the cli- cian and the pathologist is vital. In the field of urological pathology, there are problems specific to this system. Typically, in the prostate, because of its location, there is little room for a surgeon to work to obtain adequate resection margins, unlike with many other organs. As a result, questions arise such as "What constitutes an adequate surgical margin?" "What is the significance of extraprostatic extension of neoplasm that is still inside the resection margin?" and "What is the significance of neoplastic glands found on the resection margin marked with the ink?" It has been shown that a prostate needle core biopsy can generate much information that is immediately useful in predicting the extent of cancer in the prostate and, consequently, the outcome for the patient.

Nintendo Magic: Winning the Videogame Wars

By: Osamu Inoue

Back in the 80s, Nintendo ruled the home-entertainment market with the NES (Nintendo Entertainment System). But then rival Sony introduced PlayStation, which featured advancements and cutting-edge technology that put Nintendo's Super-NES to shame. Nintendo quickly lost its dominant market share to Sony and found itself floundering. In 2006, Nintendo released Wii at the same time Sony introduced its highly-anticipated and much-vaunted PlayStation III and Microsoft's XBox 360. Wii's David defeated PlayStation's Goliath, inversely echoing the SNES/PlayStation outcome of a decade previous. Nintendo Magic: Winning the Videogame Wars is the story of what went right, discussing the business strategies and marketing savvy that took on the mighty Sony and won. Topics include: How where you put your company is just as important as how you run it: being in Kyoto From work force to policies, why Nintendo's "just enough" attitude succeeds Why the ability to read a balance sheet is overrated Respect seniority but approve huge R&D budgets for talented junior employees Allowing maximum communication between disparate divisions (hardware and software) Enlarging the pie: going after casual gamers (The art of mainstreaming) How the Wii will be the next major household appliance and the DSi will be the cell phone of the future. Nintendo Magic: Winning the Videogame Wars should serve as a warning to similar powerhouse industries never to understimate the modest competitor. It should occupy the bookshelf of any business person smart enough to know they don't need to be a giant to win.
