  • Agricultural Land Cover Change in Gazipur, Bangladesh, in Relation to Local Economy Studied Using Landsat Images

This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract Land classification is conducted in Gazipur district, located in the northern neighborhood of Dha- ka, the capital of Bangladesh. Images of bands 1 - 5 and 7 of Landsat 4 - 5 TM and Landsat 7 ETM+ imagery recorded in years 2001, 2005 and 2009 are classified using unsupervised classification with the technique of image segmentation. It is found that during the eight year period, paddy area increased from 30% to 37%, followed by the increase in the homestead (55% to 57%) and urban area (1% to 3%). These changes occurred at the expense of the decrease in forest land cover (14% to 3%). In the category of homestead, the presence of different kinds of vegetation often makes it difficult to separate the category from paddy field, though paddy exhibits accuracy of 93.70% - 99.95%, which is better than the values for other categories.

  • Aryan and Non-Aryan Names in Vedic India. Data for the Linguistic Situation, C
    Michael Witzel, Harvard University Aryan and non-Aryan Names in Vedic India. Data for the linguistic situation, c. 1900-500 B.C.. § 1. Introduction To describe and interpret the linguistic situation in Northern India1 in the second and the early first millennium B.C. is a difficult undertaking. We cannot yet read and interpret the Indus script with any degree of certainty, and we do not even know the language(s) underlying these inscriptions. Consequently, we can use only data from * archaeology, which provides, by now, a host of data; however, they are often ambiguous as to the social and, by their very nature, as to the linguistic nature of their bearers; * testimony of the Vedic texts , which are restricted, for the most part, to just one of the several groups of people that inhabited Northern India. But it is precisely the linguistic facts which often provide the only independent measure to localize and date the texts; * the testimony of the languages that have been spoken in South Asia for the past four thousand years and have left traces in the older texts. Apart from Vedic Skt., such sources are scarce for the older periods, i.e. the 2 millennia B.C. However, scholarly attention is too much focused on the early Vedic texts and on archaeology. Early Buddhist sources from the end of the first millennium B.C., as well as early Jaina sources and the Epics (with still undetermined dates of their various strata) must be compared as well, though with caution. The amount of attention paid to Vedic Skt.

These volcanics are associated with thin bands of chert. Geo- chemically, the volcanics are found to be of rhyolitic composition. Development of garnet porphyroblasts along with preferred orientation of the silicate minerals of rhyolite indicates a low to medium grade meta- morphism and deformation of the units. Monazite geochemistry of the volcanics indicated towards the metamorphic origin of monazites, with REE pattern show steep fractionation trend from La to Lu. The in- situ chemical age of 2192 ± 57 Ma recorded from xenotime is interpreted as indicative of the opening of the Aravalli basin with the onset of rifting leading to the formation of Kalalikhera volcanics. The estimated ages of 1784 ± 92, 1351 ± 45 and 1026 ± 57 Ma from monazite analyses are interpreted as different metamor- phic events associated with (i) closure of the basin and the onset of Aravalli orogeny, (ii) further imprints of Delhi orogeny, and (iii) with late Grenvillian age imprints.

UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA April, 197P In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study.

It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department of The University of British Columbia Vancouver 8, Canada ABSTRACT The subject examined In this thesis is the relationship between contemporary place-names and cultural regions. It was hypothesised that there would be a relationship between place- names and cultural regions, if place-names, as organized into toponymic systems, correlated with known cultural features of the inhabitants of the Chota Nagpur region of India. The or• ganization of the place-names into toponymic systems was on the basis of spatial and statistical interdependence and interaction of selected terms denoting spaces with different attributes. The known cultural feature for correlation in this study was the spatial and statistical distribution of the languages spoken in the study area.

  • Toponymy of Ganjam: an Overview
    Toponymy of Ganjam: An Overview R.Balakrishnan “Place names supply in full measure linguistic information of a kind that is absent in archaeology and usually ignored or blurred in the historical records” F.T.Wainwright1 Objective This article intends to take an over-view of the place names2 of Ganjam (undivided) district of Orissa and to analyze them from ethno-linguistic perspective and show how the toponymy of Ganjam reflects the multi- lingual and multi-ethnic plurality of the region from time immemorial. In 1991 Census, Ganjam had a total of 4747 Census villages, which includes 525 uninhabited villages. Place Names Structurally, place names all over the world seem to be following a near- universal system of formation. The ‘specific- generic system’ seems to be ‘super-linguistic’3, though it has to function within a particular language and accommodate itself to the phonological, morphological and lexical rules of that language. The toponymy of Ganjam, as in most other regions, follows a pattern of ‘specific preceding its generic,’ i.e. the specific occurring as a prefix and generic as a suffix. Besides, there are single-component place names, which do not have a separate prefix- suffix division but simply occur as mono-word place names. Our study of the place names of Ganjam reveals the occurrence of many such single- component place names. They include many disyllabic place names such as Ora, Goba, Jimi, Huma,Hill, Sama, Angu, Saru , Tulu, Dura, Tada, Usta, Badi, Raya, Daha, Bori, Nada, Digi, Jeak, Saba, Digi, Putu, Jera, Sara, Loba, Tili, Mada, Guma, Beba, Gira, Leda, Sari, Aril, Guma, Logu, Jiba, Uama, Muri, Goli, Kera, , Patu, Alam, Thai, Jada, Juba, Raba and Renu.
