Secondary grammaticalization is viewed as a continuation to path (Traugott 2002) or an independent process that does not necessarily imply the occurrence of precedent primary (Givón 1991). This paper provides case from vernacular Arabic supporting second view, namely, secondary functional hatta (its evolution into proclitic) in Rural Jordanian Arabic. Evidence this view selectivity grammaticali...

The experiment was carried out with 32 genotypes of Brassica rapa including two commercially cultivated varieties as checks to study their mean, range, cv (%) correlation co-efficient, and path co-efficient considering 10 different morphological characters at the experimental farm of SAU, Dhaka during November 2009 to February 2010. Significant variation was observed among all the genotypes for...

This paper proposes Service Clouds, a distributed infrastructure designed to facilitate rapid prototyping and deployment of autonomic communication services. The Service Clouds infrastructure combines dynamic software configuration methods with overlay network services in order to support both crosslayer and cross-platform cooperation. The Service Clouds architecture includes a collection of lo...

This paper presents active control of acoustic noise using radial basis function (RBF) networks and its digital signal processor (DSP) real-time implementation. The neural control system consists of two stages: first, identification (modeling) of secondary path of the active noise control using RBF networks and its learning algorithm, and secondly neural control of primary path based on neural ...

Purpose. The purpose of this study was to identify variables that influenced completion of advanced directives in the context of adaptation from national data in older adults. Knowledge gained from this study would help us identify factors that might influence end of life discussions and shed light on strategies on effective communication on advance care planning. Design and Method. A model-tes...

In this article, we address the goal of achieving performance gains under heavy-load and fast fading conditions. CoopMACI protocol proposed in Proceedings of the IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC), Seoul, Korea, picks either direct path or relay path based on rate comparison to enhance average throughput and delay performances. However, CoopMACI performance deteriorates under...
