True Kaizen

Management's Role in Improving Work Climate and Culture

By: Collin McLoughlin,Toshihiko Miura

What does it take to manage an organization to success? No matter what industry you are in, an organization is primarily a group of people. This book focuses on that ever-important human element. In the rush to get 'lean', many organizations focus solely on tools for increasing productivity, but where do these tools come from? In this book, Collin McLoughlin and Toshihiko Miura look back on their decades of international consulting experience to examine how organizations around the world have transformed on a cultural level by respecting the people who work within them and leveraging their creativity to solve problems. As our workforce becomes more knowledgeable, skillful, and more perceptive of their needs and wants as employees, the ability to reach the true potential of an organization becomes more and more difficult. Managers must look at each individual element of an equation like this in order to fully understand how to achieve an answer. They must begin to answer more focused questions, such as: 1. How productive is the existing work climate and culture? 2. How do employees, as individuals, navigate the existing work climate? (How do they deal with day-today issues with each other?) 3. Where and how are individuals and their work processes assessed? 4. What obstacles do employees face every day, and are they empowered to fix these obstacles? 5. What role does leadership play at each level of the organization? (Looking at the organization in layers of management.) To address these challenges, this book focuses on three main aspects of leadership and management: 1. Addressing and Improving the Perspective of Management -- The ideas presented in this book are not limited to a certain industry or field of work, but can be applied in any setting because they speak to a universal human element. 2. Exploring and Improving Work Climate -- Organizations are social entities, operating within their own controlled environment. This book will explore the factors that contribute to, and encourage, a positive work climate. 3. Observing and Eliminating Wasteful Work Processes -- Observing wasteful activities and work processes requires a refined perspective. The case studies presented illustrate the How and Why to help refine expertise. This will also lead to the joy and benefits

Usefulness of Acute Phase Reactant Score in the Neonatal Period

Managing Neonatal Infections

By: Toshihiko Nakamura,Haruo Goto

In clinical practice, the most important points for accurately diagnosing neonatal infections are: immediate results at the bedside (quickness), accuracy of results (reliability), the degree of invasiveness to the sick baby is as low as possible (less invasiveness), the examination is not too expensive (cost performance), and the examination can be repeated (repeatability). This book describes the acute phase reactant (APR) score, in which one test item is 10 µL, and three APRs can be measured within 3 minutes in total at the bedside and scored. With clinicians’ keen observability and this APR score, neonatal infections can be confidently assessed. In addition, this book does not only refer to APR score, but also publishes the measurement results of cytokine profiles in comparison with APR scores throughout. This book will also increase understanding of the pathophysiology of neonatal infectious diseases.

Diagnostic Imaging of the Liver Biliary Tract and Pancreas

Data Analysis and Diagnostic Procedures

By: Sadayuki Sakuma,Takeo Ishigaki,Toshihiko Takeuchi

The development and the widespread clinical application of various di agnostic imaging modalities, such as diagnostic ultrasonography, X-ray computed tomography, single photon emission computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging, have been beyond all expectation. In particular, ultrasonography and X-ray computed tomography have be come major diagnostic tools for diseases of the liver, the biliary tract, and the pancreas. They often have virtually replaced other conventional imag ing modalities including invasive angiography and percutaneous trans he patic cholangiography. One modality may complement or conflict with another or other modalities. Each modality should be carefully selected with due regard for its diagnostic efficacy. In this book, the first section contains nine chapters dealing with current techniques of each diagnostic modality applicable to the liver, the biliary tract, and the pancreas. The second section deals with diseases of the liver, the biliary tract, and the pancreas and takes the form of case presentation with discussion of the significance of diagnostic imagings and diagnostic procedure. Preparation of the manuscript was made possible by the help of Dr. S. Fujita, who prepared the photographs, and Mrs. Sobajima, who typed the original manuscript. Dr. S. Miura and Miss Y. Shimizu under took the labor of translating our manuscript from Japanese into English. I would like to express my deep appreciation to all these persons, as well as to the contributors to this book, and also to the publishers, Shujunsha, Japan and Springer-Verlag.

Optical Fiber Telecommunications VIB

Chapter 7. Extremely Higher-Order Modulation Formats

By: Masataka Nakazawa,Toshihiko Hirooka,Masato Yoshida,Keisuke Kasai

We provide on overview of fundamental technologies and recent challenges on extremely higher-order quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) such as 256–1024 levels, toward the realization of an ultrahigh spectral efficiency approaching the Shannon limit. Key components required for such a higher-order QAM transmission are described in detail, including a coherent light source, an optical phase-locked loop, an IQ modulator, and a digital demodulator. We also present recent demonstrations of single-carrier 1024 QAM, 256 QAM-OFDM, and OTDM-RZ/32 QAM transmissions realized with these fundamental technologies.

Photonic Integration and Photonics-Electronics Convergence on Silicon Platform

By: Koji Yamada,Jifeng Liu,Toshihiko Baba,Laurent Vivien, Dan-Xia Xu

Silicon photonics technology, which has the DNA of silicon electronics technology, promises to provide a compact photonic integration platform with high integration density, mass-producibility, and excellent cost performance. This technology has been used to develop and to integrate various photonic functions on silicon substrate. Moreover, photonics-electronics convergence based on silicon substrate is now being pursued. Thanks to these features, silicon photonics will have the potential to be a superior technology used in the construction of energy-efficient cost-effective apparatuses for various applications, such as communications, information processing, and sensing. Considering the material characteristics of silicon and difficulties in microfabrication technology, however, silicon by itself is not necessarily an ideal material. For example, silicon is not suitable for light emitting devices because it is an indirect transition material. The resolution and dynamic range of silicon-based interference devices, such as wavelength filters, are significantly limited by fabrication errors in microfabrication processes. For further performance improvement, therefore, various assisting materials, such as indium-phosphide, silicon-nitride, germanium-tin, are now being imported into silicon photonics by using various heterogeneous integration technologies, such as low-temperature film deposition and wafer/die bonding. These assisting materials and heterogeneous integration technologies would also expand the application field of silicon photonics technology. Fortunately, silicon photonics technology has superior flexibility and robustness for heterogeneous integration. Moreover, along with photonic functions, silicon photonics technology has an ability of integration of electronic functions. In other words, we are on the verge of obtaining an ultimate technology that can integrate all photonic and electronic functions on a single Si chip. This e-Book aims at covering recent developments of the silicon photonic platform and novel functionalities with heterogeneous material integrations on this platform.
