It is commonly assumed that linguistically the Rigveda a heterogeneous collection of texts. Since early days Vedic scholarship, researchers have tried to correlate grammatical properties with individual parts Rigveda, aiming at identifying layers and strata. In this article we review stratifications proposed in previous literature assess support for these strata by performing statistical...

The present study was carried out to investigate contamination of heavy metals in 19 fish species from the Banan section of Chongqing in the Three gorges, yangtze River. The results showed that the mean concentrations of heavy metals were higher in intestine than muscle, except zinc in upper strata. In the fish inhabiting the upper strata, there were significant differences between mean concent...

S Three new test statistics are introduced for correlated categorical data in strati ed R C tables. They are similar in form to the standard generalized Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel statistics but modi ed to handle correlated outcomes. Two of these statistics are asymptotically valid in both many-strata (sparse data) and large-strata limiting models. The third one is designed speci cally for the man...

Adequate intake of calcium is important for skeletal growth. Low calcium intake during childhood and adolescence may lead to decreased bone mass accrual thereby increasing the risk of osteoporotic fractures. Our aim was to study dietary calcium intake and sources of calcium in adolescents from lower and upper economic strata in Pune, India. We hypothesized that children from lower economic stra...

Dynamics of haze on a base of multilevel hierarchical system theory (MHSR) was investigated. The hierarchical haze is out of the boundary of the world hierarchical pyramid. Two approximations are proposed. We can not know the full law or connection of the higher strata so only some influence of this higher strata to lower strata can be studied. State of hierarchical hazy is a state of dynamic e...

We report on results of a trawl survey to assess the abundance of Batoid fish resources in the Oman Sea. The catch per unit area CPUA as the main index was estimated. The objectives of this study were to determine the catch composition and distribution pattern of Batoid fishes in the study area and in different depth strata of the Oman Sea.A total of 82stations were randomly selected 2012. The ...

BACKGROUND Obesity is associated with the onset of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D), but reports conflict regarding the association between obesity and macrovascular complications. In this study, we investigated associations between cardiovascular risk factors and body mass index (BMI) and glycemic control in non-insulin-treated patients with T2D. METHODS Authors gathered cross-sectional data f...
