There has long been an advocacy for the sociology of international law, and yet it has never been constructed so systematically and axiomatically as in this book. Based on vital terms such as ’action’ and ’system,’ this book has conducted an investigation into the ’auspices’ or the fundamental international sociological conditions over which international law is built, and accordingly, into how international law can control global relations.

This book addresses current issues of computer-assisted language learning (CALL) shared by language-teaching professionals in the new global network society. It focuses on the teaching and learning of Japanese as a second language, but is highly applicable to any language instruction. Collection emerged from previously unpublished presentations by leading Japanese scholars at the International Conference on Computer Technology and Japanese Language Education held at the University of Toronto.

Japanese furniture has a rich heritage dating back to the seventh century. Masterful craftsmanship and aesthetic sensitivity evolved with this furniture’s long history. Yet, as with much that is Japanese, these pieces find virtue in restraint. The work is compelling yet sedate, with an understated simplicity distilled from a thousand years of knowledge and careful craftsmanship. Though the West has long acknowledged the beauty and value of these objects, the history of their making--their milieu and craftsmanship--remain virtually unexplored. This volume, first published in 1986, fills

This monograph instructs graduate- and undergraduate-level students in electrical engineering, informatics, control engineering, mechanics, robotics, bioengineering on the concepts of complex-valued neural networks. Emphasizing basic concepts and ways of thinking about neural networks, the author focuses on neural networks that deal with complex numbers; the practical advantages of complex-valued neural networks, and their origins; the development of principal applications? The book uses detailed examples to answer these questions and more.

This book offers a new perspective on natural language predicates by analyzing data from the Plains Cree language. Contrary to traditional understanding, Cree verbal complexes are syntactic constructs composed of morphemes as syntactic objects that are subject to structurally defined constraints, such as c-command. Tomio Hirose illustrates this in his study of vP syntax, event semantics, morphology-syntax mappings, unaccusativity, noun incorporation, and valency-reducing phenomena.

East Asia is normally identified as a group of countries lying along the western edge of the Pacific Ocean, but in recent years scholars have begun thinking about a new East Asia that is a community rather than a set of sovereign states. This regional community is a theoretical notion variously defined on the basis of economic or political relations, philosophical orientations, language or other criteria, with each standard producing a different set of boundaries. This book looks at the new East Asia from a Northeast Asian perspective, considering it both as a theoretical construct and a pract

With cutting-edge materials and minute electronic devices being produced by the latest nanoscale fabrication technology, it is essential for scientists and engineers to rely on first-principles (ab initio) calculation methods to fully understand the electronic configurations and transport properties of nanostructures. It is now imperative to introduce practical and tractable calculation methods that accurately describe the physics in nanostructures suspended between electrodes. This timely volume addresses novel methods for calculating electronic transport properties using real-space formalism
