Remember when life was simple and the funny-faced cookie jar that grandma had when you were a kid? Now, collectors are reminiscing about those wonderful times and are collecting the great PY marked kitchen collectibles that grandma used to have. Manufactured in Japan from the late 1940s until 1961, PY collectibles appeared in a myriad of different styles including anthropomorphic fruit and vegetable faces, adorable children and exotic rooster and roses patterns. The Miyao Company, known today as Miyawo, was sold through well-known American distributors such as Geo. Z. Lefton Company, United China and Glass Company (UCAGCO), Geo. Borgfeldt and Company, Napco and Enesco. Collectors love these irresistible novelties for their bright colours and happy childhood memories -- they brighten up your face as well as your home. This reference and value guide is a must-have for every collector of PY fun kitchen collectibles.

This volume consists of 15 chapters and focuses on hazardous chemicals, how they are associated with plastics, and their environmental risks. It includes background information on plastics and additives chemistry, and their observed or potential effects on living organisms as well as the oceanographic aspects of marine debris dispersion. The respective chapters provide insights into the sorption/desorption of chemicals in and out of plastics, the mechanisms and kinetics, but also the scale of the concentrations of chemicals found in marine debris, particularly in microplastics. The occurrence of the various chemicals is analyzed, as well as the distribution profiles of the chemicals in microplastics throughout the world’s oceans. The implications of the fact that plastics carry within them several chemicals are discussed in detail. In closing, new research topics that warrant further attention are identified. The book will appeal to all scientists who are already working or interested in starting to work on the topic of marine debris, as well as policymakers, NGOs and the broader informed public.

Multiword expressions (MWEs) are a challenge for both the natural language applications and the linguistic theory because they often defy the application of the machinery developed for free combinations where the default is that the meaning of an utterance can be predicted from its structure. There is a rich body of primarily descriptive work on MWEs for many European languages but comparative work is little. The volume brings together MWE experts to explore the benefits of a multilingual perspective on MWEs. The ten contributions in this volume look at MWEs in Bulgarian, English, French, German, Maori, Modern Greek, Romanian, Serbian, and Spanish. They discuss prominent issues in MWE research such as classification of MWEs, their formal grammatical modeling, and the description of individual MWE types from the point of view of different theoretical frameworks, such as Dependency Grammar, Generative Grammar, Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar, Lexical Functional Grammar, Lexicon Grammar.

This volume offers the reader a unique possibility to obtain a concise introduction to dependency linguistics and to learn about the current state of the art in the field. It unites the revised and extended versions of the linguistically-oriented papers to the First International Conference on Dependency Linguistics held in Barcelona. The contributions range from the discussion of definitional challenges of dependency at different levels of the linguistic model, its role beyond the classical grammatical description, and its annotation in dependency treebanks to concrete analyses of various cross-linguistic phenomena of syntax in its interplay with phonetics, morphology, and semantics, including phenomena for which classical simple phrase-structure based models have proven to be unsatisfactory. The volume will be thus of interest to both experts and newcomers to the field of dependency linguistics and its computational applications.

Molecular mycology has been playing a pivotal role in 21st century. It is emerging with full impact. It is multi-disciplinary and includes molecular markers, recombinant DNA techniques, cloning, phylogeny and bioinformatics. Varying in application of concepts, practice, scale, style and substance, molecular mycology is amongst the latest globalising frontiers of the corporate world. This branch is being regarded as a core subject in many colleges and universities. In the book, various topics on molecular mycology are uniquely combined to provide a complete overview of the subject. The book addresses the role of molecular and bioinformatics tools in solving the problems of identification of fungi and discusses current trends in Molecular Mycology.
