Als er die Nachricht vom Tode des Vaters erhält, fährt Yoichi zu dessen Beerdigung in seinen Heimatort Tottori. 15 Jahre hat er seine Familie nicht mehr besucht, darin bestrebt, die Erinnerungen an seine Kindheit und Jugend zu verdrängen. Nun erweist er seinem Vater bei der Totenwache die letzte Ehre - und verblasste Erinnerungen werden lebendig. Die Gespräche im Kreise der Verwandten revidieren festgefahrene Ansichten, machen alte Schuldzuweisungen nichtig. Vor Yoichi entfaltet sich ein vollkommen neues Bild seines Vaters. PRESSESTIMMEN zu DIE SICHT DER DINGE (zur...

This volume on city logistics presents recent advances of modelling urban freight transport as well as planning and evaluating city logistics policy measures in the academic research areas and practices. The contributions of eleven chapters have come from eight countries, including Japan, UK, The Netherlands, Italy, France, Singapore, Indonesia, and Brazil. As city logistics aims at creating efficient and environmental-friendly urban freight transport systems, these chapters deal with challenging urban freight transport problems from various point of views of the usage of ITS (Intelligent...

Rückkehr in die Kindheit: Ein Sommer voller Fragen

Im Kyoto der Gegenwart - der 48-jährige Hiroshi steigt nach einer Geschäftsreise in den falschen Zug und findet sich schließlich in seiner Geburtsstadt wieder, in der er seit Jahren nicht mehr war. Ihm bleiben ein paar Stunden Zeit und er beschließt, das Grab seiner Mutter zu besuchen. Auf dem Friedhof verliert er plötzlich das Bewusstsein. Als er wieder zu sich kommt, steckt er in seinem Körper als 14-Jähriger. Mit dem Wissen und den Gedanken des erwachsenen Mannes nimmt er sein Teenagerleben wieder auf....

Excessive groundwater pumping, groundwater contamination, and subsurface thermal anomalies have occurred frequently in Asian coastal cities, greatly disturbing the urban aquifer and the subsurface environment. In this volume, the relationship between the stage of a city s development and subsurface environment issues have been explored. Intensive field surveys were done in Tokyo, Osaka, Seoul, Taipei, Bangkok, Jakarta, and Manila. New, advanced methods, including satellite, tracer techniques, and the social economy model, were developed to evaluate subsurface conditions. Groundwater...

Biological systems are regulated by the thermodynamic parameters of pressure and temperature. New analytical and computational methods and various kinds of spectroscopy allow detailed studies of the structure and function of biological systems under extreme conditions, as well as the possibility to explicate the origin and evolution of life. This volume addresses researchers and students exploring the new world of biological systems under extreme environmental conditions.

Although society has become increasingly dependent on the timely operation of logistics systems, we still face many problems regarding efficiency, the environment, energy consumption, and safety in urban transport and logistics under normal cases and in disasters. As such, understanding how to address these challenges has become essential for creating better urban planning and policy implementation.
Presenting the best practices of leading experts from around the world, Urban Transportation and Logistics: Health, Safety, and Security Concerns provides cutting-edge concepts and a vision...

The aim of this book is to provide experimental protocols covering many aspects of glycobiology, glycotechnology, and chemistry: biochemistry, molecular and cellular biology, genetics, physiology, and medicine. The protocols are all self-contained descriptions of the equipment and reagents needed, followed by details of the experimental procedure.

In the post-genomic era, glycobiology is coming of age because more than half of proteins are glycosylated and the importance of sugar chains in various fields of life science research cannot be disregarded. Many scientists had not entered...
