In Japanese Distribution Channels, readers have the work of Japanese marketing scholars who present in-depth and intimate knowledge of distribution in Japan. These scholars have not only closely studied these systems for many years and in numerous cases worked in them, but have also, as consumers, relied on these channels to meet their needs. This combination of scholarship and experience is an ideal synergy that is unmatched in the existing literature on Japanese distribution channels. It stands in stark contrast to other books on Japanese distribution where foreign researchers spend a few we

Extracellular nucleic acids have recently emerged as important players in the fields of biology and the medical sciences. In the last several years, extracellular nucleic acids have been shown to be involved in not only microbial evolution as genetic elements but also to have structural roles in bacterial communities, such as biofilms. Circulating DNA and RNA have been found in human blood and expected to be useful as non-invasive markers for the diagnosis of several diseases. In addition, extracellular nucleic acids have attracted attention as active modulators of the immune system of higher

Official export credit agencies were established originally to promote national exports in situations where the private sector was reluctant to do so, and have become an important source for debt financing for developing countries. This study examines a range of issues in relation to officially supported export credits, including key trends and developments; the impact of factors such as government policies and private sector competition; key challenges such as complementing the private sector, financing for low-income countries, trade finance in financial crisis, and export credit agencies in

Civil Engineering has recently seen enormous progress in the core field of the construction of deep foundations. This book is the result of the International Workshop on Recent Advances in Deep Foundations (IWDPF07), which was held in Yokosuka, Japan from the 1st to the 2nd of February, 2007. Topics under discussion in this book include recent research achievements and case histories; and current advances in the applied aspects of deep foundations, such as reliability-based design, field tests and experimental field work. The book also features the latest numerical simulation methods and theor
