Le Ruban

Le Ruban

Autor: Ito Ogawa

Número de Páginas: 192

Ce roman d’Ogawa Ito, il semble qu’une voix nous le murmure à l’oreille, tendre et gourmande. Une voix qui, même aux heures d’ombre, fait le pari de la vie. Cela commence comme un conte par une grand-mère, une petite fille et un oiseau. Une grand-mère fantasque et passionnée d’oiseaux trouve un œuf tombé du nid, le met à couver dans son chignon et donne à l’oiseau qui éclot le nom de Ruban. Car cet oiseau, explique-t-elle solennellement à sa petite-fille, « est le ruban qui nous relie pour l’éternité ». Un jour, l’oiseau s’envole et pour les personnes qui croisent son chemin, il devient un signe d’espoir, de liberté et de consolation. Ce roman grave et lumineux, où l’on fait caraméliser des guimauves à la flamme et où l’on meurt aussi, comme les fleurs se fanent, confie donc à un oiseau le soin de tisser le fil de ses histoires. Un messager céleste pour des histoires de profonds chagrins, de belles rencontres, et de bonheurs saisis au vol.

La vie est douce à Kamakura. Amis et clients se pressent dans la petite papeterie où Hatoko exerce ses talents d'écrivain public. Tendres, drôles ou tragiques, les destins se croisent sous son pinceau. Hatoko s'est mariée et découvre, en compagnie de Mitsurô et de sa petite fille, les joies d'être mère au sein de leur famille recomposée : elle enseigne à l'enfant l'art de la calligraphie comme le faisait sa grand-mère et partage avec elle ses recettes des boulettes à l'armoise ou du thé vert fait maison. Mais si Hatoko excelle dans l'art difficile d'écrire pour les autres, le moment viendra pour elle d'écrire ce qui brille au fond de son coeur. Après La Papeterie Tsubaki se dévoile une fois de plus tout le talent d'Ogawa Ito pour nous révéler les sources invisibles du bonheur. Ogawa Ito est née en 1973. Elle chante, écrit des livres pour enfants, des articles pour des magazines de cuisine et de voyage. Son premier roman, Le Restaurant de l'Amour retrouvé, a été adapté au cinéma au Japon et est devenu un best-seller mondial. Il a reçu en France le prix Eugénie Brazier.

Hatoko a vingt-cinq ans et la voici de retour à Kamakura, dans la petite papeterie que lui a léguée sa grand-mère. Le moment est venu pour elle de faire ses premiers pas comme écrivain public, car cette grand-mère, une femme exigeante et sévère, lui a enseigné l'art difficile d'écrire pour les autres. Le choix des mots, mais aussi la calligraphie, le papier, l'encre, l'enveloppe, le timbre, tout est important dans une lettre. Hatoko répond aux souhaits même les plus surprenants de ceux qui viennent la voir : elle calligraphie des cartes de vœux, rédige un mot de condoléances pour le décès d'un singe, des lettres d'adieu aussi bien que d'amour. A toutes les exigences elle se plie avec bonheur, pour résoudre un conflit, apaiser un chagrin. Et c'est ainsi que, grâce à son talent, la papeterie Tsubaki devient bientôt un lieu de partage avec les autres et le théâtre des réconciliations inattendues. Née en 1973, Ogawa Ito a écrit des livres pour enfants, des chansons pour le groupe de musique Fairlife, des textes pour des magazines de cuisine et de voyage, et des romans tous devenus immédiatement des bestsellers au Japon et en passe de le devenir en France.

Chemical Engineering

Chemical Engineering

Autor: Kohei Ogawa

Número de Páginas: 191

Chemical engineering has often been referred to as a study in methodology. Approaches in chemical engineering are determined by individual phenomena/processes, and each of these are studied individually. The phenomena that are treated in chemical engineering can be classified into two groups:(1) phenomena that are definite and can be expressed by formulas such as differential equations (2) phenomena that can be expressed only by probability terms. The focus of Chemical Engineering - A new Perspective is on "information entropy". The main themes covered are mixing, separation, turbulent structure, particle size distribution and degree of uncertainty. The book recognizes that the information entropy may not be the only viewpoint, and how the degree of information entropy is useful for the other phenomena.* Introduction of information entropy to chemical engineering* Assertion of the significance of a consistent viewpoint* Presenting new information about phenomena that can be treated by probability terms

Dreams of Difference

Dreams of Difference

Autor: Kevin Michael Doak

Número de Páginas: 284

From 1935 to 1945, the Japan Romantic School (Nihon Romanha), a group of major intellectuals and literary figures, explored issues concerning politics, literature, and nationalism in ways that still influence cultural discourse in Japan today. Kevin Doak's timely study is a broad critique of modernity in early twentieth-century Japan. He uses close readings and translations of texts and poems to suggest that the school's interest in romanticism stemmed from its attempt to surmount the "cultural crisis" of lost traditions. This attempt to overcome modernity eventually reduced the movement's earlier critical impulses to expressions of nationalist longing.

Synthetic Glycomes

Synthetic Glycomes

Autor: Wanyi Guan , Lei Li , Peng George Wang

Número de Páginas: 438

Glycans play essential roles in diverse biological and etiological processes and their structural complexity endow various functions. The glycome is the entire set of glycans produced by an individual organism. As the glycan microarray emerged, a good amount of knowledge has been obtained in understanding the functions of glycans. However, limited accessibility of glycans is a major obstacle to the functional glycomics study. Although isolation from biology samples provided some structures, the low abundance of glycans obtained and the difficulty in complete structural assignment restricted the subsequent assay. To circumvent this limitation, many synthetic strategies, including chemical, enzymatic and chemo-enzymatic ones have been developed to make libraries of structurally defined complex glycans available. The glycans provided by these techniques combined with high-throughput glycoarray techniques have broadened and deepened our understanding about functional glycomics. The aim of this book is to provide a comprehensive review of the current state of the synthetic glycome and a brief introduction of the application of the synthetic glycome in glycoarray assay. Accordingly,...

Selective Glycosylations

Selective Glycosylations

Autor: Clay S. Bennett

Número de Páginas: 398

A comprehensive summary of novel approaches to the stereoselective construction of glycosidic linkages, covering modern glycosylation methods and their use and application in natural product synthesis and drug discovery. Clearly divided into five sections, the first describes recent advances in classical methodologies in carbohydrate chemistry, while the second goes on to deal with newer chemistries developed to control selectivity in glycosylation reactions. Section three is devoted to selective glycosylation reactions that rely on the use of catalytic promoters. Section four describes modern approaches for controlling regioselectivity in carbohydrate synthesis. The final section focuses on new developments in the construction of "unusual" sugars and is rounded off by a presentation of modern procedures for the construction of glycosylated natural products. By providing the latest advances in glycosylation as well as information on mechanistic aspects of the reaction, this is an invaluable reference for both specialists and beginners in this booming interdisciplinary field that includes carbohydrate chemistry, organic synthesis, catalysis, and biochemistry.

Optical Bistability: Controlling Light With Light

Optical Bistability: Controlling Light With Light

Autor: Hyatt Gibbs

Número de Páginas: 484

Optical Bistability: Controlling Light with Light focuses on optical bistability in nonlinear optical systems. Emphasis is on passive (non-laser) systems that exhibit reversible bistability with input intensity as the hysteresis variable, along with the physics and the potential applications of such systems for nonlinear optical signal processing. This book consists of seven chapters and begins with a historical overview of optical bistability in lasers and passive systems. The next chapter describes steady-state theories of optical bistability, including the Bonifacio-Lugiato model, as well as the boundary conditions of an optical cavity and the coupled Maxwell-Bloch equations. Both intrinsic and hybrid experiments are then described, along with light-by-light control, pulse reshaping, and external switching. The transient phenomena that arise either from instabilities in the bistable systems themselves or from fluctuations in the number of nonlinear atoms or in the number of intracavity photons are also considered. The final chapter examines the characteristics and fundamental limitations of an ideal device, the prospect of improving devices by identifying giant nonlinearities,...

Carbohydrate Chemistry provides review coverage of all publications relevant to the chemistry of monosaccharides and oligosaccharides in a given year. The amount of research in this field appearing in the organic chemical literature is increasing because of the enhanced importance of the subject, especially in areas of medicinal chemistry and biology. In no part of the field is this more apparent than in the synthesis of oligosaccharides required by scientists working in glycobiology. Clycomedicinal chemistry and its reliance on carbohydrate synthesis is now very well established, for example, by the preparation of specific carbohydrate- based antigens, especially cancer-specific oligosaccharides and glycoconjugates. Coverage of topics such as nucleosides, amino-sugars, alditols and cyclitols also covers much research of relevance to biological and medicinal chemistry. Each volume of the series brings together references to all published work in given areas of the subject and serves as a comprehensive database for the active research chemist Specialist Periodical Reports provide systematic and detailed review coverage in major areas of chemical research.

Templated Organic Synthesis

Autor: François Diederich , Peter J. Stang

Número de Páginas: 438

Templated Organic Synthesis Edited by F. Diederich and P. J. Stang Located at the borderline of supramolecular and organic chemistry, template-controlled reactions allow the synthesis of complex molecules which would hardly be achievable through classical methods. This handbook offers authorative information on how noncovalent and covalent templates can be effectively applied to control reaction rates as well as regio- and stereo-selectivity. From the concepts of template control such as molecular imprinting, self-replication, and reversible tether-directed remote functionalization, the reader is led to template-based ring-closing reactions, oligomerizations, and multiple functionalizations and their application in the synthesis of supramolecular scaffolds and natural products. The editors and authors, all internationally recognized experts in their area, succeeded in presenting the manifold aspects of template-controlled synthesis in a didactic way, making this methodology accessible to a broad readership of organic synthetic chemists. Well-selected, reliable key experimental protocols and an up-to-date reference list underline the practical approach of this valuable handbook....

Monetary And Financial Management In Asia In The 21st Century

Autor: Augustine H H Tan

Número de Páginas: 379

This book contains papers selected from the 25th Federation of ASEAN Economic Associations Annual Meeting, hosted by the Economic Society of Singapore on 7-8 September 2000, in Singapore. East and Southeast Asia had just emerged from the devastation of the Asian currency crisis of 1997-8. The theme of the conference was chosen to enable participants to examine macroeconomic policies, particularly fiscal, monetary and exchange rate policies that would enable their countries to sustain economic growth without the trauma of financial and currency crises. Prominent economists Ronald McKinnon (Stanford University) and John Williamson (Institute for International Economics) presented four papers about alternative exchange rate regimes. Representative papers from five countries, viz. Indonesia, Malaysia, South Korea, the Philippines and Singapore, are also included in the volume.

Towards Monetary and Financial Integration in East Asia

Towards Monetary and Financial Integration in East Asia

Autor: Koichi Hamada , Beate Reszat , Ulrich Volz

Número de Páginas: 423

Towards Monetary and Financial Integration in East Asia is an important book. East Asia, led by China, has been and will continue to be the largest, most rapidly growing region in the world. Major global imbalances persist, with East Asia in large surplus. Yet East Asian financial and monetary integration is only in the early stages of what will necessarily be a long-run process. These 14 essays by different authors address, in six Parts, fundamental long-run issues and prospects. These include the development of a regional financial architecture, liquidity provision and crisis management, surveillance mechanisms, exchange rate arrangements, currency baskets, an Asian Currency Unit, and ultimately even a single currency. The implications of the rise of China and the role of Japan underlie much of these analyses. However imperfect, the EU is the dominant relevant experience for East Asian financial and monetary integration. It is important to understand, as the authors do, that it took 47 years from the EU s nascent founding to the establishment of the euro, and that economic integration has preceded political integration. This book importantly addresses such basic issues in this...
