On certain results of Fourier analysis on non-abelian discrete groups.
… radial functions on some non-commutative groups. The subject of positive definite functions is widely studied due to its link with the area of Fourier Multipliers. So, a characterization of positive, definite functions will help in identifying the class of Fourier Multipliers which is …

The Rate of Decay of Concentration Functions on Locally Compact Groups
… focuses primarily on concentration functions for discrete groups, though some results are also obtained for non-discrete groups. In particular, we show that, when G is discrete and satisfies the volume growth condition V(n) ≥ cnD , then if the concentration functions go to zero they do so at a …

Finite dimensional approximations and deformations of group C*-algebras
… when <em>C</em>*-algebras associated to discrete groups have such a property with particular emphasis on finding obstructions. In particular, we point out that groups with Kazhdan's Property (T) and only finitely many unitary equivalence classes of finite dimensional representations do …

Locally compact property A groups
… Conjecture holds for all closed manifolds with discrete fundamental groups that are coarsely embeddable into a Hilbert space. The class of groups that are uniformly embeddable into Hilbert Spaces includes groups of Property A which were introduced by Yu. In fact, Property A is generally a …

A Classifying Family of Spaces for the Cohomology of Profinite Groups
… one useful tool for studying the cohomology of a discrete group is that group's classifying space. In some sense, the classifying space captures both the group itself and a description of its cohomology for any action of the group on any coefficient module. While some constructions for a …

Anger and denial as predictors of cardiovascular reactivity in women
… a larger sample of 135 women to represent three discrete groups: (1) low anger/low denial, (2) high anger/low denial, and (3) low anger/high denial, based on their scores on the State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory, P and the Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale. It was hypothesized that …

Honouring Individuality, Creating Community : Mindfulness-based Emotional Development and Wellbeing'.
… to working with thirty-five participants in six discrete groups from a range of work-related contexts, extensive participant observation was undertaken through attendance in a broad range of mindfulness retreats, training, courses and conferences. The resultant one-day course was used to assess …

The influence of long-term exposure to dialect variation on representation specificity and word learning in toddlers.
… the language learner as belonging to one of two discrete groups – monolingual or bilingual. This thesis explores the hypothesis that this is an insufficient description of language input and that there are sub-groups within the monolingual category based on the phonological variability of their …

The mucosal microbiome of inflammatory bowel diseases
… controls. Clustering of these samples reveals discrete groups which may provide a frame-work for sub-typing IBD based on the microbiota. Microbiome scientists frequently rely on faecal samples as a proxy for the colonic environment despite numerous studies finding that it is not completely …

Health Information Exchange Use in Primary Care
… 3) differences in HIE system use patterns across discrete groups of system users. First, I use a national sample of primary care providers to analyze market and practice factors related to HIE use for patient referrals. Overall, I find that only 43% of primary care provider referrals used HIE. …

On Bredon (co-)homological dimensions of groups
… in this thesis are classifying spaces EFG for discrete groups G with stabilisers in a given family F of subgroups of G. The main focus of this thesis lies in the family Fvc(G) of virtually cyclic subgroups of G. A classifying space for this specific family is denoted by EG. It has a prominent …

A Mortuary Analysis of the Structure 7 Cemetery at Town Creek, a Mississippian Site in the Piedmont of North Carolina
… to historic accounts of Southeastern Indian groups, communities were comprised of ranked clans made up of multiple kin groups that maintained separate household spaces. Through visual analysis and the spatial analysis of the distribution of burial attributes that include burial depth, age, …

Australian Regulatory Requirements for Migration and Registration of Internationally Qualified Health Practitioners
… mapped and examined for four key participant groups: assessors operationalising the current policies and processes governing skilled migration and registration; educators offering preparatory and training programs to IQHP; workforce agencies engaging with and recruiting IQHP; and …

Analysis of Discrete Data under Order Restrictions
Strategies for the analysis of discrete data under order restrictions are discussed. We consider inference for sequences of binomial populations, and the corresponding risk difference, relative risk and odds ratios. These concepts are extended to deal with independent multinomial populations. …

A study of disputes and their resolution in public private partnership (PPP) projects in Nigeria
… assembled multiple-member organisation of many discrete groups, each having different goals and needs, and each expecting to maximise its own benefits. Nigeria shifted the burden of new infrastructure development and investment to the private sector as part of the Public Partnership (PPP) …

Spatial and Temporal Variation in Lake Huron Yellow Perch (Perca flavescens) Life History Traits
… account for potentially different responses of discrete groups to external stressors. Life history traits are very useful indicators of population structure because they provide information about fish populations that incorporates elements of genetics, environment, and resource use …

Coupled similarity analysis in supervised learning
… distance between continuous features based on discrete groups. Substantial experiments have verified that our coupled distance outperforms the original distance, and this is also supported by statistical analysis. When considering the similarity concept, people may only relate to the …

Investigating group behavioral quantization of oceanic fish with Continental-shelf scale ocean-acoustic sensing
… in Winter 2014, where extensive but spatially discrete groups of spawning cod were successfully imaged. These initial instantaneous wide-area observations of cod aggregations suggest that these observed spawning groups have quantifiable properties that are linked to essential collective …
