RauschLeiden ;Boston Brill20101 online resource (244 p.)Social sciences in Asia,1567-2794 ;v. 28Description based upon print version of record.90-04-17996-8 Includes bibliographical references (p. [221]-229) and index.The future of local places -- The Tsugaru district of Aomori prefecture -- Culture in revitalization : policy, production, and consumption -- Tsugaru revitalization policy and cultural commodities -- The production of Tsugaru cultural commodities -- Cultural commodities and local revitalization.The fate of local places increasingly rests on their capability to capitalize on their highly specific local cultural resources. Cultural Commodities in Japanese Rural Revitalization: Tsugaru Nuri Lacquerware and Tsugaru Shamisen examines the dynamics of this reality for the Tsugaru District of the Aomori Prefecture, Japan, and its two dominant cultural commodities, a lacquerware and a musical performance. Organized on the basis of policy, production and consumption, the research points to historical trajectory and a combinative conceptual-operational space as the means of identifying cultural and economic potential for a cultural commodity. This analytical approach provides both for assessing the local consciousness and identifying informed policy and industry management for the commodity, making it possible to realize its potential in local revitaliszation.Social sciences in Asia ;v. 28.Rural developmentJapanCase studiesCultural industriesJapanCase studiesRural developmentCultural industries307.1/4120952Rausch Anthony1960-1476083MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910785590703321Cultural commodities in Japanese rural revitalization3690486UNINA05507nam 2200721 a 450 991102043930332120200520144314.09786613227997978128322799512832279919781118164396111816439397811181644021118164407(CKB)2550000000043362(EBL)818908(OCoLC)757394280(SSID)ssj0000544874(PQKBManifestationID)11327816(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000544874(PQKBWorkID)10553718(PQKB)11325313(MiAaPQ)EBC818908(PPN)250199033(Perlego)2775053(EXLCZ)99255000000004336219941006d1996 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrSequential stochastic optimization /R.

Offering much material that is either new or has never before appeared in book form, it lucidly presents a unified theory of optimal stopping and optimal sequential control of stochastic processes. This book has been carefully organized so that little prior knowledge of the subject is assumed; its only prerequisites are a standard graduate course in probability theory and some familiarity with discrete-parametWiley series in probability and mathematical statistics.Applied probability and statistics.Optimal stopping (Mathematical statistics)Dynamic programmingStochastic control theoryOptimal stopping (Mathematical statistics)Dynamic programming.Stochastic control theory.519.2Cairoli R(Renzo),1931-1994.1837694Dalang Robert C.1961-602758MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911020439303321Sequential stochastic optimization4416486UNINA
