Описание:

Japan's invasion of Manchuria in September of 1931 initiated a new phase of brutal occupation and warfare in Asia and the Pacific. It forwarded the project of remaking the Japanese state along technocratic and fascistic lines and creating a self-sufficient Asian bloc centered on Japan and its puppet state of Manchukuo. In Planning for Empire, Janis Mimura traces the origins and evolution of this new order and the ideas and policies of its chief architects, the reform bureaucrats. The reform bureaucrats pursued a radical, authoritarian vision of modern Japan in which public and private spheres were fused, ownership and control of capital were separated, and society was ruled by technocrats.

Mimura shifts our attention away from reactionary young officers to state planners—reform bureaucrats, total war officers, new zaibatsu leaders, economists, political scientists, engineers, and labor party leaders. She shows how empire building and war mobilization raised the stature and influence of these middle-class professionals by calling forth new government planning agencies, research bureaus, and think tanks to draft Five Year industrial plans, rationalize industry, mobilize the masses, streamline the bureaucracy, and manage big business. Deftly examining the political battles and compromises of Japanese technocrats in their bid for political power and Asian hegemony, Planning for Empire offers a new perspective on Japanese fascism by revealing its modern roots in the close interaction of technology and right-wing ideology.

Описание: This book is composed of two sections, Ecological and Fundamental Researches and Approach to Antifouling. Both sections contain research trends on barnacles that have been collected from laboratory work and field studies. Section I: Ecological and Fundamental Researches; Chapter One describes the traditional taxonomy and phylogenetic studies of thoracican barnacles based on morphological examinations. Chapter Two reviews ever rearing trials of the lepadid larvae and introduces recent examples of successful rearing of their larvae and settlement. Chapter Three focuses on barnacle larval dispersal and settlement from the ecological aspects, with common and specific mechanisms on the larval dispersal and settlement summarized. In Chapter Four, chemical cues in barnacle larval settlement are described. In Chapter Five, the authors describe the recent advances on the cellular biology of cyprid cement gland and the molecular characteristics of cyprid cement materials of the barnacle, Megabalanus rosa. Chapter Six describes the roles of the larval sense of vision in barnacles. Section II: Approach to Antifouling; Chapter Seven centers around the antifouling properties of soft materials such as silicone and hydrogels against barnacles both in laboratory and field assays. Chapter Eight concerns the settlement of controllable barnacle populations via LED blue light emission. Chapter Nine concludes the book with a discussion about qPCR to species specific detection of barnacle larvae.
