Shines new theoretical light on Japanese television in global perspective
Abstract: Substantial amounts of post-consumer scrap are exported to other regions or lost during recovery and remelting, and both export and losses pose a constraint to desires for having regionally closed material cycles. To quantify the challenges and trade-offs associated with closed-loop metal recycling, we looked at the material cycles from the perspective of a single material unit and trace a unit of material through several product life cycles. Focusing on steel, we used current process parameters, loss rates, and trade patterns of the steel cycle to study how steel that was originally contained in high quality applications such as machinery or vehicles with stringent purity requirem...
With this official handbook, readers will go behind the scenes in Kitchen Stadium to meet Morimoto, Chen Kenichi, and all the Iron Chefs. Also included are interviews with the tasters; insight from the show's creators and producers; loads of photos; plate-by-plate commentary on every "Iron Chef" battle.
A general analytical model of materials flow analysis (MFA) incorporating physical waste input-output is proposed that is fully consistent with the mass balance principle. Exploiting the triangular nature of the matrix of input coefficients, which is obtained by rearranging the ordering of sectors according to degrees of fabrication, the material composition matrix is derived, which gives the material composition of products. A formal mathematical definition of materials (or the objects, the flow of which is to be accounted for by MFA) is also introduced, which excludes the occurrence of double accounting in economy-wide MFAs involving diverse inputs. By using the model, monetary input-outpu...

Since Prime Minister Shinzo Abe took office in December 2012. The Japanese yen has plunged by 40 percent. whereas the Nikkei 225 has surged more than 100 percent. In anticipation of the mange mega sporting events to be held in Japan such as the 2020 Olympic Games and 2019 Rugby World Cup, hot money from around the globe, in clouding China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore has been flooding into various Japanese asset classes including real estate. Unfortunately, information on Japan's real estate has not been well circulated globally because of language barrier. This feeds into the scepticism of investing into it. Buying properties from aboard also poses challenges regarding maintenance and management. Although there are many brokerages in Japan but not many of them have resources to develop overseas markets. Indeed, few are capable of helping clients achieve desired returns, not to mention adding value to their investments. The guest authors of this book are based in Japan. As insiders of the country's real estate industry, they have intimate knowledge of investment, economy, taxation, law, and property management that is simply unparalleled.
