Edyta Więcławska presents the structural and functional aspects of binomials in English/Polish company registration discourse. She analyses and discusses frequency data from the sociolinguistic perspective. Her work contributes original and innovative research shedding new light on the perennial issue of legal formulacity as evidenced through binomial expressions. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach, the volume fits within the research domains of linguistics and law (jurlinguistics, legal linguistics), translation studies and commercial law.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 13th German Conference on Multiagent System Technologies, MATES 2015, held in Cottbus, Germany, in September 2015. The 11 full papers papers presented together with 2 short papers, 1 invited paper and 4 extended abstracts of doctoral papers in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 27 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on MAS engineering, modeling, and simulation; smart things working together; and innovative and emerging applications of MAS.

Although there are many works dealing with Pompeii and Herculaneum, none of them try to encompass the entire spectrum of material related to its reception in popular imagination. Pompeii’s Ashes surveys a broad variety of such works, ranging from travelogues between ca. 1740 and 2010 to 250 years of fiction, including stage works, music, and films. The first two chapters provide an in-depth analysis of the excavation history and an overview of the reflections of travelers. The six remaining chapters discuss several clearly-defined genres: historical novels with pagan tendencies, and those with Christians and Jews as protagonists, contemporary adventures, time traveling, mock manuscripts, and works dedicated to Vesuvius. “Pompeii’s Ashes” demonstrates how the eternal fascination with the oldest still-running archaeological projects in the world began, developed, and continue until now.

Dust Control and Air Cleaning covers various areas of concerns in the management of airborne particles and air sanitization. The title provides a comprehensive coverage of the methods in regulating air quality The coverage of the text includes airborne particles and health; the dynamics of particles; and sampling methods. The selection details various air purification methods and technologies such as removal of particles by wet scrubbing; cyclone dust separators; and filter materials and practical filters.

Filters are used in most industries, especially the water, sewage, oil, gas, food and beverage, and pharmaceutical industries. The new edition of this established title is an all-encompassing practical account of standard filtration equipment and its applications. Completely revised and rewritten, it is an essential book for the engineer working in a plant situation-who requires guidance and information on what's available and whether it's suitable for the job. Co-published with the Institution of Chemical Engineers. Co-published with the Institution of Chemical Engineers. - The leading practical engineering guide to filtration techniques, systems and their applications - Meets the needs of all key sectors where filtration is a critical process, including chemical processing and manufacture, food, oil and gas, air-conditioning and water - A comprehensive sourcebook and reference for plant engineers, process engineers, plant designers, filter media and filtration specialists and equipment specifiers

This book constitutes revised selected papers from the 17th and 18th International Workshop on Agent-Mediated Electronic Commerce, AMEC TADA 2015 and 2016, which took place in Istanbul, Turkey, in May 2015, and in New York City, USA, in July 2016. The 10 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. Both workshops aim to present a cross-section of the state of the art in automated electronic markets and encourage theoretical and empirical work that deals with both the individual agent level as well as the system level. Given the breadth of research topics in this field, the range of topics addressed in these papers is correspondingly broad. They range from papers that study theoretical issues, related to the design of interaction protocols and marketplaces, to the design and analysis of automated trading strategies used by individual agents - which are often developed as part of an entry to one of the tracks of the Trading Agents Competition.

Changes in EC electricity law are happening with amazing speed, and those changes are greater still when compared with the time required to understand them. This book is designed to provide both coverage and depth in relation to Europe's newly liberalised electricity sector and to the network of rules that govern it.In an exhaustive analysis, this book explains the current law, while taking account of imminent changes and anticipating further developments. Thorough case studies relating to the electricity sectors in France and in England & Wales are also provided for a more concrete understanding. The centrepiece chapter is devoted to reflections concerning the impact which the EC Treaty rules on competition and the free movement of goods will have on the functioning of an internal electricity market.For legal and economic practitioners as well as researchers, lawmakers, investors, and business leaders whose work requires a true understanding of the changes in the electricity industry in Europe, this book will serve as an essential reference work in the coming years. Mel Marquis obtained his Bachelor of Arts degree in Seattle at the University of Washington, and after serving as an officer of the US Army, attended Seton Hall Law School in Newark, N.J. He was awarded his J.D. magna cum laude in 1998, graduated a semester early, and was admitted to the New York and New Jersey bars. In the Spring of 1998, Mr. Marquis worked as a stagiaire for Judge Rafael García-Valdecasas at the Court of First Instance in Luxembourg. His experience in Luxembourg prompted him to begin giving guest lectures to American law students interested in community law. After working as an attorney in the United States, Mr. Marquis spent a year as a William J. Fulbright legal research scholar at the European University Institute in Florence, Italy. His research, focused particularly on EC competition law and the regulated industries, culminated in his book Introducing Free Markets and Competition to the Electricity Sector in Europe. Mr Marquis currently works in Brussels as an associate for Van Bael & Bellis. At the moment he is concentrating his personal research on intellectual property issues within the antitrust context, as well as emerging issues such as the impact of antitrust on the media, telecommunications, and the internet. He will be lecturing on EC competition law this Summer as a guest at the University of Parma.
