Download or read book Green Star Japan written by Ian Rapley and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2024-10-31 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the first half of the twentieth century, a wide range of the Japanese populace was drawn to the possibilities offered by the proposed language known as Esperanto. Created in the nineteenth century by a European, L. L. Zamenhof, Esperanto seemed an unlikely candidate for Japanese interest, but to its advocates it was a potential solution to the international language problem: the question of how to effectively communicate across linguistic and national borders. Using the history of Japanese Esperanto up to the end of the Second World War, Ian Rapley argues that scholars of modern Asia should pay serious attention to both Esperanto and the international language problem. One key aspect of Japan’s modernization was its growing contact with the wider world, not just with the West but with countries across the globe. The increasingly complex networks of these transnational interactions involved trade, diplomacy, and intellectual flows; each contact required the identification of some common medium of communication. Esperanto was designed to be as easy to learn as possible, with a simple grammar and system of word formation, and none of the idiosyncrasies and irregularities that accumulate over time in unplanned national or regional languages. This appealed to many Japanese who discovered that to be modern meant being a student of one or more foreign languages. Japanese Esperantists were active at the League of Nations, in the Soviet Union, and in villages across Japan. They wrote essays and letters, traveled internationally, built friendships, taught classes, and made radio broadcasts. Closely examining the efforts to spread a language designed to bring peoples of the world together, Green Star Japan offers a new approach to understanding Japan’s global modernity. This book will interest scholars and students of modern Japanese and East Asian history, and especially within the vibrant fields of transnational/global history and the history of language.

Download or read book Environmental Impact Assessment of Buildings written by Wahidul Biswas and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2020-02-05 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Special Issue covers a wide range of areas—including building orientation, service life, use of photocatalytically active structures and PV facades, implications of transportation system, building types (i.e., high rise, multilevel, commercial, residential), life cycle assessment, and structural engineering—that need to be considered in the environmental impact assessment of buildings, and the chapters include case studies across the globe. Consideration of these strategies would help reduce energy and material consumption, environmental emissions, and waste generation associated with all phases of a building’s life cycle. Chapter 1 demonstrates that green star concrete exhibits the same structural properties as conventional concrete in Australia. Chapter 2 showed that the use of TiO2 as a photocatalyst on the surface of construction materials with a suitable stable binding agent, such as aggregates, would enable building walls to absorb NOx from air. This study found that TiO2 has the potential to reduce ambient concentrations of NOx from areas where this pollutant becomes concentrated under solar irradiation. Chapter 3 presents the life cycle assessment of architecturally integrated glass–glass photovoltaics in building facades to find the appropriate material composition for a multicolored PV façade offering improved environmental performance. Chapter 4 shows that urban office buildings lacking appropriate orientation experienced indoor overheating. Chapter 5 details four modeling approaches that were implemented to estimate buildings’ response towards load shedding. Chapter 6 covers the life cycle GHG emissions of high-rise residential housing block to discover opportunities for environmental improvement. Chapter 7 discusses an LCA framework that took into account variation in the service life of buildings associated with the use of different types of materials. Chapter 8 presents a useful data mining algorithm to conduct life cycle asset management in residential developments built on transport systems.
