Best Selling Books by Osamu Takahashi

SEELE''s frustrations with Gendo''s plans leads their agent inside the school to abduct Shinji and place him under their mental control...which means Rei and Asuka must put aside their own rivalry long enough to join forces and rescue him!

As the curse spreads, Souta, Makoto, and Shino are continuing their twisted relationship when a new student, Koyuki Nonomiya, transfers to their school. She has a contract with the demon Gremory, a friend and rival of Zepar, and wants in on all the fun! Having caught a photo of Souta in the act, Koyuki uses it to blackmail him into further depravity...

The aim of this experimental study was to determine if the indirect tensile (IDT) strength test results for Marshall cylindrical specimens are associated with a laboratory evaluation parameter for the rutting resistance of wearing course hot mix asphalt (HMA) mixtures. We investigated a wide range of HMA mixtures with various aggregate gradations; the specimens consisted of seven Vietnamese and six Indonesian HMA mixtures with a 12.5-mm nominal maximum particle size. Three different fine aggregates from two sources (natural sand and manufactured screening) were used to fabricate these HMA specimens. Wheel tracking tests were also conducted to verify the validity of the IDT strength test as a potential indicator of rutting resistance in HMA mixtures. The experimental results showed that the IDT strength test using Marshall cylindrical specimens has potential applications for evaluating rutting resistance, regardless of aggregate source. The study also explored the effects of fine aggregate on the resistance of HMA mixtures to permanent deformation. Overall, fine aggregate significantly influenced the rutting resistance of mixtures when the aggregate gradations were controlled to achieve the same gradations. In contrast, fine aggregates with different gradations were not strongly associated with the rutting resistance of HMA mixtures.

Au jour le jour, Asuka observe l''intimité grandissante entre Rei et Shinji. Pour conserver sa place en tant qu'' " amie d''enfance ", elle tourne inlassablement autour de Shinji. Mais un jour, elle assiste à un moment crucial de la relation entre Shinji et Rei, celui où tout bascule. Voici le tome 4 de la version " écolière " d''Evangelion, plus que jamais théâtre de nombreux bouleversements !

Face the thing that should not be! At last, Shinji, Rei, and Asuka are being trained for actual combat, gats in hand - stalking a giant gelatinous creature with a spherical "core" they must take out. If this kind of mission sounds strangely familiar, you''re right - but if things go as usual, it''s poor Shinji who''ll get called the slimeball!
