Learning a Better Motif Index: Toward Automated Motif Extraction
Motifs are distinctive recurring elements found in folklore, and are used by folklorists to categorize and find tales across cultures and track the genetic relationships of tales over time. Motifs have significance beyond folklore as communicative devices found in news, literature, press releases, and propaganda that concisely imply a large constellation of culturally-relevant information. Unti...
متن کاملReformulated F-index of graph operations
The first general Zagreb index is defined as $M_1^lambda(G)=sum_{vin V(G)}d_{G}(v)^lambda$. The case $lambda=3$, is called F-index. Similarly, reformulated first general Zagreb index is defined in terms of edge-drees as $EM_1^lambda(G)=sum_{ein E(G)}d_{G}(e)^lambda$ and the reformulated F-index is $RF(G)=sum_{ein E(G)}d_{G}(e)^3$. In this paper, we compute the reformulated F-index for some grap...
متن کاملA Polynesian motif on the Y chromosome: population structure in remote Oceania.
The Polynesian motif, a mitochondrial DNA marker of ancestral Polynesian communities, has filled a critical role in reconstructions of remote Oceanic history. Although the motif provides an effective narrative for Polynesian females, no equivalent male history is available from paternal lineages. Here, we describe a Y-chromosome binary polymorphism with absolute Polynesian affinity. We illustra...
متن کاملHistory of Polynesian Languages
We have been using the term “Polynesian languages” implying that these languages belong in a single group and that they are somehow related. But what does it mean to say that languages are related? What is the basis for the assumption that, say, Hawaiian and Samoan are related? There are two major methods that are relevant to these questions: the comparative method and lexicostatistics. The com...
متن کاملClimate Narratives : What is Modern about Traditional Ecological Knowledge ? 1
The literature on traditional ecological knowledge has established the importance of community narratives for capturing and communicating complex environmental information and linking it to practice. We make the case that narratives are important not just to traditional communities but modern, cosmopolitan societies as well. Principles of narratology are employed to examine how ―moderns‖ talk a...
