"Takeo Watanabe’s collection of essays brings together a fascinating variety of theoretical, experimental and historical information about this important and rapidly developing topic." -- Horace Barlow, Department of Physiology, University of Cambridge Motion perception is fundamental to survival. Until recently, research on motion perception emphasized such basic aspects of motion as sampling and filtering. In the past decade, however, the emphasis has gradually shifted to higher-level motion processing--i.e., processing that takes place not only in the primary visual cortex b

A classic study of the Japanese psyche, a starting point for a true understanding Japanese behavior.... The discovery that a major concept of human feeling -- easily expressed in everyday Japanese -- totally resisted translation into a Western language led Dr. Takeo Doi to explore and define an area of the psyche which has previously received little attention. The resulting essay, The Anatomy of Dependence, is one of the most penetrating analyses of the Japanese mind ever written, as well as an important original contribution to psychology which transcends the boundaries of cultures and na

This book explains, as clearly as possible, tensors and such related topics as tensor products of vector spaces, tensor algebras, and exterior algebras. You will appreciate Yokonuma’s lucid and methodical treatment of the subject. This book is useful in undergraduate and graduate courses in multilinear algebra. Tensor Spaces and Exterior Algebra begins with basic notions associated with tensors. To facilitate understanding of the definitions, Yokonuma often presents two or more different ways of describing one object. Next, the properties and applications of tensors are developed, inc

The loads to which tall buildings are subjected are examined aiming to give a precise definition of the related structural requirements that are necessary before a client’s needs can be translated into a safe design. The first five chapters explore different classes of loads: gravity loads and temperature affects, earthquake loads, wind loading and wind effects, fire, and accidental loads. The last two chapters explore quality control (control of the variations of material strengths and workmanship) and over-all safety considerations and probabilistic methods. Steel buildings, holding th

At the start of the twenty-first century, the Japanese financial system is undergoing a major transformation. This process is spurred by a sense of crisis. Dominated by large institutions, the Japanese banking system has suffered from serious problems with non-performing loans since the early 1990s, when the Japanese stock market and urban real estate market both crashed. Delays in responding to these twin asset bubbles, by both regulatory authorities and the banks themselves, made matters worse and led to a banking crisis in late 1997 and early 1998. Not anticipating this setback, in
