Sommario/riassunto

For the past decade, new research fields utilizing microfluidics have been formed. General micro-integration methods were proposed, and the supporting fundamental technologies were widely developed. These methodologies have made various applications in the fields of analytical and chemical synthesis, and their superior performances such as rapid, simple, and high efficient processing have been proved. Recently, the space is further downscaling to 101-103nm scale (we call the space extended-nano space). The extended-nano space located between the conventional nanotechnology (100-101nm) and micr

Sommario/riassunto

Current challenges brought about by globalization require that labour administrations in Asian countries put into practice well-coordinated and efficient administration systems, including effective labour inspection services. This book sets out the role, functions and organization of labour administration and inspection, highlighting best practices in these areas in a number of Asian countries. It gives a comprehensive overview of the recent changes in Asia and looks at the areas where there is an urgent need of improvement.
