These contributions are based upon their presentations at the 10th Korean Conference on Several Complex Variables (KSCV10), held as a satellite conference to the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) 2014 in Seoul, Korea.SCV has been the term for multidimensional complex analysis, one of the central research areas in mathematics.

We focus on regional vulnerability considering the fact that regional socioeconomic conditions determine the aspects of the damage and thus the risk management policy. The contents consist of three parts: (1) Socioeconomic Vulnerability in a Regional Perspective, (2) Evaluation of Regional Vulnerability, and (3) Coping with Regional Vulnerability.

The research contained here can be characterized in these ways: (1) Research methods adopt interpretative approaches such as hermeneutic and/or narrative approaches rather than causal and functional explanations such as "cause-consequence" relationships.

In this book, the author conducts extensive spectroscopy experiments beyond the bounds of each transition element to clarify origins of characteristic spectral features and charge dynamics in charge-spin-orbital coupled phenomena in Mott-transition oxides.

This book describes not only the conventional patch clamp techniques but also their newly developed variations or applications, such as perforated patch, slice patch, blind patch, in vivo patch, imaging patch, smart patch, and automated patch clamping.

This truly groundbreaking thesis integrates nuclear energy density functional theory and the algebraic, interacting boson model. Bridging a longstanding theoretical chasm in physics, it reveals the origins of the latter in nucleon degrees of freedom.

This book presents an investigation of the anomalous and topological Hall effects in some itinerant ferromagnets and helimagnets by measuring Hall effects driven by electrical or heat current.

This book develops a novel analysis method for QCD sum rules (QCDSR) by applying the maximum entropy method (MEM) to arrive at an analysis with less artificial assumptions.

The Global COE is setting out a zero-emission technology roadmap and is promoting socioeconomic studies of energy, studies of new technologies for renewable energies, and research for advanced nuclear energy.

President Showa University, Tokyo, Japan February 2010 Preface The 6th Annual Meeting, Showa International Symposium for Life Sciences, hosted by Showa University, was held in the university's Kamijo Hall on September 19, 2009.

This book, a selection of the papers presented at the 32nd Japanese Hip Society (JHS) Congress, includes the latest knowledge on preservation and regeneration treatments of hip disease as well as arthroplasty.

The detailed and comprehensive observations presented in this book on acquired cystic disease of the kidney and renal cell carcinoma in dialysis patients are drawn from the author's decades of experience.

This book presents a detailed analysis of current understanding of breathing. The book reviews research on the human brain, focusing on the recently developed EEG/dipole tracing method, as well as animal experiments. The book is a useful reference for researchers in neuroscience and related fields.

How did Japanese companies, technology-supporting organizations, and governments reformulate organizational strategies, industrial structures, and institutions to revive Japanese high-tech industries (semiconductor, telecommunications, and biotechnology) in the 1990s?

As the number of patients with colitis-associated cancer (CAC) is on the increase, the purpose of this book is to review the latest topics concerning management of the disease.

That goal is, specifically, financial development, adequate social capital, indigenous modern manufactures and closer international tie-ups, among others, but above all, sound agrarian development.

* Motivation It is our dream to understand the principles of animals' remarkable ability for adaptive motion and to transfer such abilities to a robot.

In Part II, the focus is on basic information involving high performance in sports, including the athletes' physiology, genetics, nutrition and biomechanics.In Part III, entitled "Performance and Coaching in Various Sports", the latest findings involving skills and performance in individual sports are presented.

This book is a valuable resource on the subject of off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) surgery, which has recently been developed as a promising technique for reducing surgical damage to patients.

This book collects important contributions in behavioral economics and related topics, mainly by Japanese researchers, to provide new perspectives for the future development of economics and behavioral economics. Reflecting the diverse fields of the editors, the book captures broad influences of behavioral economics on various topics in economics.
