14th International Symposium on Process Systems Engineering, Volume 49 brings together the international community of researchers and engineers interested in computing-based methods in process engineering. The conference highlights the contributions of the PSE community towards the sustainability of modern society and is based on the 2021 event held in Tokyo, Japan, July 1-23, 2021. It contains contributions from academia and industry, establishing the core products of PSE, defining the new and changing scope of our results, and covering future challenges. Plenary and keynote lectures discuss real-world challenges (globalization, energy, environment and health) and contribute to discussions on the widening scope of PSE versus the consolidation of the core topics of PSE.

These construction workers like to play with their tools. High-flying architect Maki Motoharu loves looking at hot guys, and where better to find a lot of good-looking, well-toned hotties than a construction site? But after one visit, Motoharu winds up with an unexpected commitment. Ironworker Ohki Kouta is young, foul-mouthed, and not at all Motoharu's type! The building industry is in chaos due to an unprecedented scandal. Mibu, a gifted architect, has left his mentor, the famed architect Shibusawa-both professionally and personally. Now Motoharu, Shibusawa's former disciple who harbored a crush on Mibu, is up to his eyeballs in work and his own emotional turmoil. Motoharu doesn't want to burden his lover Kouta with it all, but Kouta has other plans!

This book covers the fundamental aspects of the electrochemistry and redox enzymes that underlie enzymatic bioelectrocatalysis, in which a redox enzyme reaction is coupled with an electrode reaction. Described here are the basic concept and theoretical aspects of bioelectrocatalysis and the various experimental techniques and materials used to study and characterize related problems. Also included are the various applications of bioelectrocatalysis to bioelectrochemical devices including biosensors, biofuel cells, and bioreactors. This book is a unique source of information in the area of enzymatic bioelectrocatalysis, approaching the subject from a cross-disciplinary point of view.

A TRULY KILLER ROMANCE Aoi Nemo, heir apparent to a gigantic pharmaceutical fortune, has fallen head over heels for the assassin Akaumi Kiruru. To spend more time with her, he took out an anonymous hit–on himself! Somehow, against all odds, his crazy dating strategy actually seems to be working. After a “date” at the beach, the two of them are growing closer and closer together. But when a major incident rocks the League of Assassins, their strange game of love and death faces all-new challenges!

KISS KISS BANG BANG Aoi Nemo, the heir to a giant medical empire, has fallen head over heels for an assassin named Akaumi Kiruru. Obsessed with finding any way to see her again, he put out a hit on his own life, and now he looks forward to their deadly "dates" with delusional enthusiasm. Yet could it be that the killer femme fatale really is starting to develop feelings for her elusive target? When the two of them get embroiled in a tussle between the League of Assassins and a gang of hooligans, their game of love and death takes a heart-pounding new turn!

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the China-Japan Joint Conference on Computational Geometry, Graphs and Applications, CGGA 2010, held in Dalian, China, in November 2010. The 23 revised full papers presented were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and improvement from numerous submissions. All aspects of computational and discrete geometry, graph theory, graph algorithms, and their applications are covered.

This book chronicles the development of graph factors and factorizations. It pursues a comprehensive approach, addressing most of the important results from hundreds of findings over the last century. One of the main themes is the observation that many theorems can be proved using only a few standard proof techniques. This stands in marked contrast to the seemingly countless, complex proof techniques offered by the extant body of papers and books. In addition to covering the history and development of this area, the book offers conjectures and discusses open problems. It also includes numerous explanatory figures that enable readers to progressively and intuitively understand the most important notions and proofs in the area of factors and factorization.

Weaving together careful readings of plays and reviews, memoirs and interviews, biographies, and critical essays, Acting Like a Woman in Modern Japan traces the emergence of the first generation of modern actresses in Japan, a nation in which male actors had long dominated the public stage. What emerges is a colorful and complex picture of modern Japanese gender, theater, and nationhood. Using the lives and careers of two dominant actresses from the Meiji and Taisho eras, Ayako Kano reveals the fantasies, fears, and impact that women on stage created in Japan as it entered the 20th century.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the Japanese Conference on Discrete Computational Geometry, JCDCG 2001, held in Tokyo, Japan in November 2001. The 35 revised papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected. Among the topics covered are polygons and polyhedrons, divissible dissections, convex polygon packings, symmetric subsets, convex decompositions, graph drawing, graph computations, point sets, approximation, Delauny diagrams, triangulations, chromatic numbers, complexity, layer routing, efficient algorithms, and illumination problems.

This volume consists of those papers presented at the Japan Conference on Discrete and Computational Geometry '98. The conference was held 9-12 - cember 1998 at Tokai University in Tokyo. Close to a hundred participants from 10 countries participated. Interest in Computational Geometry surfaced among engineers in Japan - out twenty years ago, while interest in Discrete Geometry arose as a natural extension of the research of a group of graph theorists more recently. One of the goals of the conference was to bring together these two groups and to put them in contact with experts in these ?elds from abroad. This is the second conference in the series. The plan is to hold one every year and to publish the papers of the conferences every two years. The organizers thank the sponsors of the conference, namely, The Institute of Educational Development of Tokai University, Grant-in-Aid of the Ministry of Education of Japan (A.Saito;(A)10304008), Mitsubishi Research Institute, Sanada Institute of System Development, Japan Process, and Upward. They also thank especially T. Asano, D. Avis, V. Chv atal, H. Imai, J. Pach, D. R- paport, M. Ruiz, J. O'Rourke, K. Sugihara, T. Tokuyama, and J. Urrutia for their interest and support."
