This paper presents an analysis of the linguistic anthropology which underpins the language dynamics of two Gaeltacht (Irish-speaking) areas, Ros Muc in Conamara, Co. Galway and Ráth Cairn in Co. Meath. This research highlights what could be considered a socio-linguistic paradox: the community (Ráth Cairn) which engages more vigorously in language maintenance endeavors, and exhibits a greater a...

spectral decomposition is a powerful tool for analysis of seismic data. fourier transform determines the frequency contents of a signal. but for analysis of non-stationary signals, 1-d transform to frequency domain is not sufficient. in early years, transforming of seismic traces into time and frequency domain was done via windowed fourier transform, called a short time fourier transform (stft)...

Recruitment into peripheral possession trance cults has been explained as attempts to compensate for socio-economic deprivation and jural impotence. This model, best developed by I. M. Lewis, is reviewed and its predictions are tested against two types of Brazilian data. Firstly, national census Žgures of religious afŽliation are compared with measures of socio-economic stress for a diachronic ...

BACKGROUND Previous studies have reported discrepancies in cause-specific mortality among groups of individuals with different socio-economic status. However, most of the studies were limited by the specificity of the investigated populations and the broad definitions of the causes of death. The aim of the present population-based study was to explore the dependence of disease specific mortalit...

Section II presents the empirical results of this study. While the underlying econometric model follows the standard ‘new growth’ literature procedure of regression analysis in a cross-section of countries, it goes beyond the existing studies in drawing on a data set including proxies for technical progress and educational attainment as well as devoting special attention to different levels of ...

Pearson correlation coefficient and T. Test analysis and Regression variation were done through SPSS  software in the research. The results show that there is negative correlation between social participation with education, planning, ...

This paper presents a novel approach towards two-dimensional (2D) image structures modeling. To obtain more degrees of freedom, a 2D image signal is embedded into a certain geometric algebra. Coupling methods of differential geometry, tensor algebra, monogenic signal and quadrature filter, a general model for 2D image structures can be obtained as the monogenic extension of a curvature tensor. ...
