OBJECTIVE To examine how one aspect of family life, notably family rituals and routines, may protect children with asthma from anxiety-related symptoms. METHODS Eighty-six families (43 children with asthma, 43 healthy comparison children) participated in the study. Children completed measures of anxiety (Revised Child Manifest Anxiety Scale) and health. Parents completed measures of stress (P...

I. Introduction Without systems of public, external symbols for recording information, nonliterate communities have to rely on human memory for the retention and transmission of cultural knowledge. Religious expressions either evolved in directions that rendered them memorable or they were-quite literally-forgotten. Most religious systems, including all of the great world religions, emerged amo...

Abstract The present study provides a survey of the semantics depictive (in broad sense, including circumstantials) adjectival compounds in Vedic Sanskrit. Following typology constructions developed by Himmelmann & Schultze-Berndt (2005), we structure our classification along semantic fields that such expressions tend to occur in. Our results show Vedic, use spans (almost) whole gamut funct...

This article is a qualitative review of 32 publications appearing since J. Bossard and E. Boll's (1950) seminal work on family rituals was conducted. Definitions are offered whereby a distinction is made between family routines as observable practices and family rituals as symbolic representations of collective events. The relative occurrence of family routines, as described in the literature, ...

In this Paper, Urdhva tiryakbhyam Sutra is first applied to the binary number system and is used to develop digital multiplier architecture. This is shown to be very similar to the popular array multiplier architecture. This Sutra also shows the effectiveness of to reduce the NXN multiplier structure into an efficient 4X4 multiplier structures. Nikhilam Sutra is then discussed and is shown to b...

The area of radiological image compression has not yet met its potential solution. After reviewing the existing mechanism of compression, it was found that majority of the existing techniques suffers from significant pitfalls e.g. more usage of transformation schemes, more resource utilization, delay, less focus on FPGA performance enhancement, extremely less emphasis on Vedic-multipliers. Henc...

The Daily Ritual was one of a series of cultic rituals performed for the statue of the god by temple priests each day. Performed in the morning after the fi rst light of dawn, it was complemented by similar but more abbreviated rituals in the afternoon and evening. The Egyptians believed that the gods themselves had established the correct form of the rituals, and along with the celebration of ...

this article aims to provide an anthropological study of aria varna and dasa varna social classes as a foundation of indian caste system through exploring the perspective of rig-vedic. adopting the documentary method, the paper maintains that although the early aryan immigrants to india were nomads, it is hard to presume they had no social classes among themselves. the ring-vedic hymns present ...

Digital signal processing (DSP) is the technology that is omnipresent in almost every engineering discipline. A typical processor devotes a considerable amount of processing time in performing arithmetic operations, particularly multiplication operations. Multiplication is one of the basic arithmetic operations and it requires substantially more hardware resources and processing time than addit...

This work is devoted for the design and FPGA implementation of a 16bit Arithmetic module, which uses Vedic Mathematics algorithms. For arithmetic multiplication various Vedic multiplication techniques like Urdhva Tiryakbhyam Nikhilam and Anurupye has been thoroughly analyzed. Also Karatsuba algorithm for multiplication has been discussed. It has been found that Urdhva Tiryakbhyam Sutra is most ...
