Fluidized Bed Reactors - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Fluidized Bed Reactors - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

This compilation presents the main results reported in literature regarding the application of the fluidised bed reactor in the fermentative production of hydrogen using different synthetic and complex substrates, such as: glucose, sucrose, xylose, sugarcane vinasse, cheese whey, cassava wastewater and glycerin. Additionally, the results of studies on the dry torrefaction process of various types of fluidised bed biomass in an inert gas medium are presented, as well as the results of studies on torrefaction in a fluidized bed in a gas medium, which produces a mixture of inert gas and oxygen. Using a fluidized bed reactor for activated carbon production, the effect of various process parameters such as particle size, fluidizing velocity, process time, static bed height, activation temperature and fluidizing medium are studied. The authors propose that the development and implementation of the suspended bed reactor is the most reasonable means to achieve promising catalytic hydrogenation.

Japanese Diasporas - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Japanese Diasporas - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Japanese Diasporas examines the relationship of overseas Japanese and their descendents ( Nikkei ) with their home and host nations, focusing on the political, social and economic struggles of Nikkei .

The authors connect theoretical issues of ethnic identity with the Japanese and Nikkei cases, analyzing the hidden dynamics of the social construction of race, ethnicity and homeland, and suggesting some of the ways in which diasporas are transforming global society today. Presenting new perspectives on socio-political and cultural issues of transnational migrants and diaspora communities in an economically intertwined world, this book will be of great interest to scholars of diaspora studies and Japanese studies.

Japanese Cinema and Otherness - Mika Ko - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Japanese Cinema and Otherness - Mika Ko - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Over the last 20 years, ethnic minority groups have been increasingly featured in Japanese Films. However, the way these groups are presented has not been a subject of investigation. This study examines the representation of so-called Others – foreigners, ethnic minorities, and Okinawans – in Japanese cinema. By combining textual and contextual analysis, this book analyses the narrative and visual style of films of contemporary Japanese cinema in relation to their social and historical context of production and reception. Mika Ko considers the ways in which ‘multicultural’ sentiments have emerged in contemporary Japanese cinema. In this respect, Japanese films may be seen not simply to have ‘reflected’ more general trends within Japanese society but to have played an active role in constructing and communicating different versions of multiculturalism. In particular, the book is concerned with how representations of ‘otherness’ in contemporary Japanese cinema may be identified as reinforcing or subverting dominant discourses of ‘Japaneseness’. the author book also illuminates the ways in which Japanese films have engaged in the dramatisation and elaboration of ideas and attitudes surrounding contemporary Japanese nationalism and multiculturalism. By locating contemporary Japanese cinema in a social and political context, Japanese Cinema and Otherness makes an original contribution to scholarship on Japanese film study but also to bridging the gap between Japanese studies and film studies.

Japanese War Orphans - Jiaxin Zhong - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Japanese War Orphans - Jiaxin Zhong - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

After Japan''s defeat in August 1945, some Japanese children were abandoned in China and raised by Chinese foster parents. They were unable to return to Japan even during the mass repatriation carried out by the Japanese government in the 1950s. Most of them returned to Japan in the 1980s. They are called Japanese war orphans. They are victims of the Sino-Japanese War and have been exploited and abandoned by the Japanese government. They are also "border people" who have lived in the interstices between two nations, China and Japan, and are migrants who have exploited the gap in economic development between Japan and China to seek individual happiness. Modern East Asia underwent drastic social change. These drastic social changes affected the lives of the Japanese war orphans and their families in a variety of ways. Over the years, Zhong has interviewed Japanese war orphans, their Chinese foster parents, and Japanese volunteers. The title is an interview-based sociological study of the issue of Japanese war orphans. The first half of the Japanese war orphans'' lives were spent in China, and the latter half in Japan. It brings to the fore the dramatic personal histories of the Japanese war orphans surviving in the interstices between two nation-states. Through analyzing the issue of Japanese war orphans, the research on the subject makes the following three points: (1) the powerlessness of civilians caught up in modern warfare and the long-lasting effects of modern warfare on the life histories of individuals and their families; (2) the nature of the modern nation-state, which exploits and abandons its citizens as though they were expendable; and (3) immigration as a product of modernization gaps. Scholars pursuing studies in both Japanese society & Chinese society and historians of the Sino-Japanese war would find this an ideal read.

The Oxford Handbook of Japanese Cinema - - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

The reality of transnational innovation and dissemination of new technologies, including digital media, has yet to make a dent in the deep-seated culturalism that insists on reinscribing a divide between the West and Japan. The Oxford Handbook of Japanese Cinema aims to counter this trend toward dichotomizing the West and Japan and to challenge the pervasive culturalism of today''s film and media studies.Featuring twenty essays, each authored by a leading researcher in the field, this volume addresses productive debates about where Japanese cinema is and where Japanese cinema is going at the period of crisis of national boundary under globalization. It reevaluates the position of Japanese cinema within the discipline of cinema and media studies and beyond, and situates Japanese cinema within the broader fields of transnational film history. Likewise, it examines the materiality of Japanese cinema, scrutinizes cinema''s relationship to other media, and identifies the specific practices of film production and reception. As a whole, the volume fosters a dialogue between Japanese scholars of Japanese cinema, film scholars of Japanese cinema based in Anglo-American and European countries, film scholars of non-Japanese cinema, film archivists, film critics, and filmmakers familiar with film scholarship.A comprehensive volume that grasps Japanese cinema under the rubric of the global and also fills the gap between Japanese and non-Japanese film studies and between theories and practices, The Oxford Handbook of Japanese Cinema challenges and responds to the major developments underfoot in this rapidly changing field.
