811A man's world? : changing men's practices in a globalized world
This book widens what has hitherto been a dialogue primarily within the Western democracies. The Editors have brought together a number of established and new scholars to provide a broader critical analysis of men‘s practices across a wide range of socio-cultural settings. Particular attention is given to the fact that most studies of globalization and transnational social policy have tended not to encompass issues of men‘s practices at all.

816A modern history of Japan : from Tokugawa times to the present : 4th ed.
A Modern History of Japan: From Tokugawa Times to the Present, Fourth Edition, paints a richly nuanced and strikingly original portrait of the last two centuries of Japanese history. It takes students from the days of the shogunate the feudal overlordship of the Tokugawa family through the modernizing revolution launched by midlevel samurai in the late nineteenth century; the adoption of Western hairstyles, clothing, and military organization; and the nation's first experiments with mass democracy after World War I. Author Andrew Gordon offers the finest synthesis to date of Japan's passage through militarism, World War II, the American occupation, and the subsequent economic rollercoaster.
817A molecular docking study of natural acridones isolated from the root of Paramignya trimera
A molecular docking study of three natural acridones, namely citrusinine-I, 5-hydroxynoracronycin, and paratrimerin C on a target enzyme DNA polymerase μ (Pol μ), was performed. In addition, the hydrogen peroxide anion (HOO─), a model radical, and delavirdine, a synthetic drug, are used as ligands for docking on this target protein to investigate the activity of the selected compounds to protect Pol μ protein against their harmful effects. The interaction sites and binding energies (Gbind) were determined. The results reveal that 5-hydroxynoracronycin (Gbind: -5.82 kcal/mol) exhibits a higher binding activity to Pol μ protein than the other acridones and HOO─ as well as delavirdine. These acridone compounds illustrated the beneficial effect of protecting Pol μ against harmful HOO─ species and commonlyused delavirdine drugs.
818A multilevel image thresholding approach using history-based adaptive differential Evolution with linear population size reduction algorithm
This study aims at developing a metaheuristic based image thresholding method via the employments of the History-Based Adaptive Differential Evolution with Linear population size reduction algorithm (LSHADE) and the Otsu objective function. The LSHADE algorithm is used to determine an appropriate set of threshold levels that maximizes the separation between clusters of pixels. Experimental results with four applications demonstrate the usefulness of the newly developed tool.
