Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this book provides a systematic approach to transport law as applied in Japan. The book describes the main sources of transport law, jurisdiction and courts, state immunity, and the legal role of transport intermediaries, with detailed reference to maritime law, transport by road, transport by air, transport by rail, and inland navigation. A special chapter is devoted to multimodal transport. Among the elements of transport law considered are the legal status of the vessel; its acquisition, ownership, and registration; vessel liens and mortgages; the position of master and crew; maritime salvage and assistance; marine pollution; collision; and carriage of passengers. Other topics discussed include liability and limitation of liability, charter parties, and transport under bill of lading. Case law, intergovernmental cooperation agreements, and interactions with environmental, tax, and competition law are also covered. Its succinct yet scholarly nature, as well as the practical quality of the information it provides, make this book a valuable resource for lawyers handling transport contracts or cases affecting Japan. It will also be welcomed by researchers and academics for its contribution to a field that continues to gain significance in the study of comparative law.
This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1974.
This book is an anthology of essays by Yuji Ichioka, the foremost authority on Japanese American history, which studies Japanese American life and politics in the interwar years.
This book is a comprehensive study on the application of international law in domestic law, with a particular focus on the concept of direct applicability. It critically examines the domestic application of international law and puts forward a new framework.
Conformational Analysis of Polymers Comprehensive resource focusing on theoretical methods and experimental techniques to analyze physical polymer chemistry Connecting varied issues to demonstrate the impact on areas like biodegradability, environmental friendliness, structure-property relationship, and molecular design, Conformational Analysis of Polymers introduces theoretical methods and experimental techniques to analyze physical polymer chemistry. Opening with a description of fundamental concepts and then describing the conformational characteristics of various polymers, including different heteroatoms and chemical species, the text continues onto the applications of density functional theory (DFT) to polymer crystals and structure-property relationships. The book concludes by bringing these issues together to demonstrate their practical impact on different areas of the field. Various methods and techniques, including DFT, statistical mechanics, NMR, spectroscopy, and molecular orbital theory, are also covered. Written by a highly qualified author, Conformational Analysis of Polymers explores sample topics such as: Fundamentals of polymer physical chemistry: stereochemistry of polymers, models for polymeric chains, Flory-Huggins theory, and rubber elasticity Quantum chemistry for polymers: ab initio molecular orbital theory, DFT, NMR parameters, and periodic DFT of polymer crystals Statistical mechanics of polymeric chains: basic rotational isomeric state (RIS) scheme, refined RIS method, inversional-rotational isomeric state method, and probability theory for RIS scheme Experimental techniques: NMR and scattering methods Providing a timely update to the field of chain conformations of synthetic polymers and connecting fundamental theoretical approaches, experimental techniques, and case study applications; Conformational Analysis of Polymers is an essential resource for polymer chemists, physicists, and material scientists, industrial engineers who synthesize and process polymers, and academic researchers.
It's surprising, but Iroha and Souichirou just can't seem to see eye-to-eye. Meanwhile, the battle for Iroha's heart rages on between Souichirou and the silver-tongued prince, Kido! On the final day of their field trip, something will add stoke the fire of Souichirou's affections... What could it possibly be? Who will win this fight?
The semifinals of the Fall Tournament have finally begun! Seido's opponent is none other than the fearsome hard-swinging Seiko Academy! And their starting pitcher is Furuya, well on his way to understanding what a true ace pitcher is! It's the monster batters against the cannonball pitcher to decide who advances to the finals!
At the headband exchange event, Souichirou calls Iroha to the stage. What in the world could he be planning to tell her in front of everyone?! And just what sort of fate awaits them at home when they finally break the news to their family?! The cutesy roomie romcom reaches its touching conclusion!
It's the semifinal round of the Fall Tournament! Seido takes the lead against Seiko Academy—until Seido's starting pitcher, Furuya, injures his right foot! Seiko wastes no time taking advantage, and their powerful batters quickly turn up the heat! Which team will advance to the final round?!
Iroha and Souichirou are finally dating, and they couldn't be happier. But fate has other plans... They've started their second year of high school, and they're finally in the same class together, too. But Souichirou is so popular, it causes Iroha to rethink revealing their secret to the rest of the school. Will they or won't they? All will be revealed in this final volume!
