Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

This is the first UK edition of the cult darning book by Hikaru
Noguchi who has become a guru of visible darning in Japan. With 12
different darning techniques and 63 inspirational examples, this
detailed step by step guide makes the methods easy to follow. The
stylish photography shows off the artistic and minimalist style of
the designer's work.
In this book, leading international experts explore the emerging
concept of the zero energy mass custom home (ZEMCH) - designed to
meet the need for social, economic, and environmental
sustainability - and provide all of the knowledge required for the
delivery of zero energy mass customized housing and community
developments in developed and developing countries. The coverage is
wide ranging, progressing from explanation of the meaning of
sustainable development to discussion of challenges and trends in
mass housing, the advantages and disadvantages of prefabricated
methods of construction, and the concepts of mass customization,
mass personalization, and inclusive design. A chapter on energy use
will aid the reader in designing and retrofitting housing to reduce
energy demand and/or improve energy end-use efficiency. Passive
design strategies and active technologies (especially solar) are
thoroughly reviewed. Application of the ZEMCH construction criteria
to new buildings and refurbishment of old houses is explained and
the methods and value of building performance simulation, analyzed.
The concluding chapter presents examples of ZEMCH projects from
around the world, with discussion of marketing strategy, design,
quality assurance, and delivery challenges. The book will be
invaluable as a training/teaching tool for both students and
industry partners.
The aim of this book is to provide a comprehensive account of
higher dimensional Nevanlinna theory and its relations with
Diophantine approximation theory for graduate students and
interested researchers. This book with nine chapters systematically
describes Nevanlinna theory of meromorphic maps between algebraic
varieties or complex spaces, building up from the classical theory
of meromorphic functions on the complex plane with full proofs in
Chap. 1 to the current state of research. Chapter 2 presents the
First Main Theorem for coherent ideal sheaves in a very general
form. With the preparation of plurisubharmonic functions, how the
theory to be generalized in a higher dimension is described. In
Chap. 3 the Second Main Theorem for differentiably non-degenerate
meromorphic maps by Griffiths and others is proved as a prototype
of higher dimensional Nevanlinna theory. Establishing such a Second
Main Theorem for entire curves in general complex algebraic
varieties is a wide-open problem. In Chap. 4, the Cartan-Nochka
Second Main Theorem in the linear projective case and the
Logarithmic Bloch-Ochiai Theorem in the case of general algebraic
varieties are proved. Then the theory of entire curves in
semi-abelian varieties, including the Second Main Theorem of
Noguchi-Winkelmann-Yamanoi, is dealt with in full details in Chap.
6. For that purpose Chap. 5 is devoted to the notion of
semi-abelian varieties. The result leads to a number of
applications. With these results, the Kobayashi hyperbolicity
problems are discussed in Chap. 7. In the last two chapters
Diophantine approximation theory is dealt with from the viewpoint
of higher dimensional Nevanlinna theory, and the Lang-Vojta
conjecture is confirmed in some cases. In Chap. 8 the theory over
function fields is discussed. Finally, in Chap. 9, the theorems of
Roth, Schmidt, Faltings, and Vojta over number fields are presented
and formulated in view of Nevanlinna theory with results motivated
by those in Chaps. 4, 6, and 7.

Creating clinical guidelines is a modern trend. Published studies
pertaining to a given theme are collected, their credibility
evaluated, and then treatment options in the form of evidence-based
guidelines are offered. There are a number of guidelines for the
treatment of thyroid tumors that have established positions in
clinical practice in North America and in Western European
countries. In Japan, however, where radioisotope facilities are of
limited availability, treatment plans for differentiated thyroid
cancer differ considerably from those of America and Europe, and
the associated clinical guidelines need modification before they
can be adopted. In addition, although thyroid tumor is a common
disease in endocrine practice, its management can differ even among
specialists. Thus, a Japanese clinical guideline for the treatment
of thyroid tumor was desired by many clinicians. As a combination
of evidence-based and consensus-based guidelines for the treatment
of thyroid tumor, this book offers alternatives to conventional
approaches in the West. Ultimately, the authors hope the guideline
will lead to the best possible treatment for patients all over the
world in the not-distant future.
