description: During the past decade, scholars have produced a vast amount of research using linked historical individual-level data, shaping and changing our understanding of the past. This linked data revolution has been powered by methodological and computational advances, partly focused on supervised machine-learning methods that rely on training data. The importance of obtaining high-quality training data for the performance of the record linkage algorithm largely, however, remains unknown. This paper comprehensively examines the role of training data, and---by extension---improves our understanding of best practices in supervised methods of probabilistic record linkage. First, we compare the speed and costs of building training data using different methods. Second, we document high rates of conditional accuracy across the training data sets, rates that are especially high when built with access to more information. Third, we show that data constructed by record linking algorithms learning from different training-data-generation methods do not substantially differ in their accuracy, either overall or across demographic groups, though algorithms tend to perform best when their feature space aligns with the features used to build the training data. Lastly, we introduce errors in the training data and find that the examined record linking algorithms are remarkably capable of making accurate links even working with flawed training data.

description: Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are a family of complex carbohydrates vital to all mammalian organisms and involved in numerous biological processes. Chondroitin and dermatan sulfate, an important class of GAGs, are linear macromolecules consisting of disaccharide building blocks of N-acetylgalactosamine and two different uronic acids. The varying degree and the site of sulfation render their characterization challenging. Here, we combine mass spectrometry with cryogenic infrared spectroscopy in the wavenumber range from 1000 to 1800 cm–1. Fingerprint spectra were recorded for a comprehensive set of disaccharides bearing all known motifs of sulfation. In addition, state-of-the-art quantum chemical calculations were performed to aid the understanding of the differences in the experimental fingerprint spectra. The results show that the degree and position of charged sulfate groups define the size of the conformational landscape in the gas phase. The detailed understanding of cryogenic infrared spectroscopy for acidic and often highly sulfated glycans may pave the way to utilize the technique in fragment-based sequencing approaches.

description: A national death registration system was not started in the United States until 1901 and not completed until 1933. As a result, the onset and early decades of the mortality transition are poorly understood. In this article we describe an indirect method to estimate white and black child mortality using linked census data for each decade 1850-1880 and 1900-1940. We compare the estimates to several external sources. For each decade, we aggregate the number of child deaths and survivors to the national level and compare the implied level of mortality to published life tables. For the period 1900-1910, we compare our estimates to alternative estimates using the number of children ever born and number of children surviving reported by women in the 1910 census and compare models of child mortality using both estimation methods. For the period 1900-1940, we compare random samples of children to data on year of death provided from FamilySearch.org. We conclude that the new method represents a viable way to estimate and model child mortality over the course of the mortality transition. In the final section of the paper, we illustrate a few applications of the new method. We map mortality estimates by race and decade, convert the estimates to abridged life tables using model life tables, construct a public-use dataset based on the results, and describe possible applications.

description: National-level analysis of historical women’s life courses and kinship networks is understudied due to data limitations. Previous analysis of patrilineal kin propinquity in the United States relied on surnames to identify the probability of non-random isonymy as a proxy for nearby kin. Two limitations of this approach include not knowing whether same surname matches were truly kin and losing matrilineal kinship networks due to women’s changing surnames upon marriage. Using linked census data from IPUMS MLP, LIFE-M, and Census Tree for 1850- 1940, this project aims to identify birth surnames for married women to better measure matrilineal kinship networks in the United States. Results using linked census data for Ohio and North Carolina suggest non-coresidential matrilineal kinship networks underwent a similar decline as proximate patrilineal kinship networks in this time period, but nuances suggest that we should not treat these declines similarly. Matrilineal and patrilineal kin propinquity differed in the life course patterns for currently married women. Patrilineal kin propinquity exhibited a U-shaped trend over the life course while matrilineal kin propinquity declined over the life course. While this paper focuses only on Ohio and North Carolina and does not directly identify kin, national-level analyses are possible and the data produced here will allow other research to easily identify relations from other censuses with data quality flags indicating how relationships are determined. This marks a revolutionary improvement in national-level analyses for women’s life course research.

title: The provinces of Bihar and Bengal under Shahjahan.
Creators: name: Karim, Kondkar M.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1965

description: The first chapter of the thesis deals with Shahjahan's rebellious occupation of the provinces of Bihar and Bengal which he held for a temporary period till his flight to the Deccan. The second chapter is concerned with the Portuguese activities in Bengal and their expulsion from Hugli in 1632. The condition of the Portuguese after their defeat in 1632 is also discussed. The third chapter reviews the Mughal relationship with the Bihar Zamindars of Bhojpur and Palamau. The fourth chapter is divided into two sections. The first section discusses the Mughal policy towards Assam from the time of the first Ahom-Mughal war till the outbreak of the war of succession. The second section deals with the Mughal relationship with Arakan. The fifth chapter attempts to give an account of the actual functioning of the Mughal administrative machinery in Bengal and Bihar under Shahjahan. While discussing the functions of the Mughal governors, Shah Shuja's long viceroyalty in Bengal has been treated separately. The sixth chapter gives an account of the economic condition of the provinces. It depicts the condition of the industries of Bihar and Bengal and traces the growth of English trade. The seventh chapter attempts to draw a picture of the socio-religious condition of the Muslims of the provinces during the time of Shahjahan.
title: The idea of freedom in the political thought of Vivekananda, Aurobindo, Gandhi and Tagore.
Creators: name: Dalton, Dennis
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1965

description: The thesis is concerned with the development of the idea of freedom in modern India, and particularly in the political and social thought of four major Indian writers, Swami Vivekananda, Aurobindo Ghose, Gandhi, and Rabindranath Tagore. Three major areas of discussion maybe distinguished here. First, there is a consideration of the common ground on which these four thinkers stand. It is argued that they comprise a "school" of modern Indian thought, both because of the purpose that they share, and the fundamental principles on which they all agree. Chief among these principles is that concerning the nature of freedom. Two broad forms of freedom are distinguished: "external" (political and social), and "internal" (moral and spiritual). These two forms are seen as complementary; as corresponding qualities which must both be achieved for freedom to be wholly realised. Second, the background of the school's thought is briefly discussed. Certain key themes in the writings of prominent nineteenth-century Indian figures are examined, to suggest the nature of the climate of opinion out of which Vivekananda's conception of freedom emerged. Finally, the greater part of the thesis is devoted to an analysis of precisely what these four men thought about freedom, and how one of them, Gandhi, carried on experiments with his ideas in Indian society and politics. It is argued that while all the members of this school agree on fundamental issues, each made a distinctive contribution to the development of the idea of freedom. Vivekananda's contribution arises in the synthesis that he created of various strands of nineteenth-century Indian thought, and which he used in his formulation of a particular conception of freedom. The major aspects of this conception were developed by the other thinkers, each adding new dimensions. If Vivekananda was the seminal influence behind the school, Aurobindo was its outstanding theoretician. He attempted to show a natural correspondence between individual freedom as self-realisation and social unity as a state of universal harmony in which each had recognized his spiritual identity with all. Gandhi was the most active participant in the nationalist movement. He sought to implement his school's ideas on freedom and harmony with a programme of social and political change; a method rooted in the belief that social progress could only come through a moral transformation of the individual in society. And finally, Tagore; who is seen, here, as the critic or "conscience" of the school, warning it against the cult of Nationalism: the threat to individual freedom and universal harmony which the others had overlooked.
title: An edition of al-Saghani's "al-Takmilah", Part 1, accompanied by a critical introduction.
Creators: name: Qadri, Madad Ali Najm
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1964

description: The thesis presents an edition of Imam al-Saghani's al-Takmilah, Part I accompanied by a critical introduction. The author had written al-Takmilah as a supplement to al-Jauhari's al-Sihah. He included quite a lot of articles, items, extra meanings of some words and expressions that were left out by al-Jauhari. While supplementing al-Jauhari's work he also made innumerable corrections of the various types of mistakes committed by the former, namely grammatical, linguistic, genealogical, poetical and in the citation of traditions. al-Saghani did not only concentrate on al-Jauhari's shortcomings but also corrected the errors of some of the early lexicographers. Such a campaign was waged by him in order to improve the usage of Arabic language. His chief concern was to interpret the words according to phonetic structure, in strict obedience to the grammatical rules and in harmony with the historical facts. The text consists of first four letters - Alif, Ba, Ta and Tha. The version is based upon four manuscripts, the variations of which have been indicated in the footnotes. Five appendices have been included in the text; one dealing with the letters, the other with the articles left out by al-Jauhari, the third with the quotations from Qur'an, the fourth with the traditions and the fifth with the poetical quotations. The introduction comprises three parts. Part A is mainly biographical. Part B is divided into three sections. Section I describes al-Saghani as a scholar and teacher with a brief reference to his prominent teachers and students, whereas Section II depicts him as an author. Section III discusses his position as a lexicographer with a fairly comprehensive account of his lexical works. In Part C a comprehensive survey of the book has been made. This is followed by an account of the MSS referred to.

description: A recent experiment [Nadj-Perge et al., Science 346, 602 (2014)] gives possible evidence for Majorana bound states in chains of magnetic adatoms placed on a superconductor. While many features of the observed end states are naturally interpreted in terms of Majoranas, their strong localization remained puzzling. We consider a linear chain of Anderson impurities on a superconductor as a minimal model and treat it largely analytically within mean-field theory. We explore the phase diagram, the subgap excitation spectrum, and the Majorana wavefunctions. Owing to a strong velocity renormalization, the latter are localized on a scale which is parametrically small compared to the coherence length of the host superconductor.

description: Spin qubits in silicon are strong contenders for realizing a practical quantum computer. This technology has made remarkable progress with the demonstration of single and two-qubit gates above the fault-tolerant threshold and entanglement of up to three qubits. However, maintaining high fidelity operations while executing multi-qubit algorithms has remained elusive, only being achieved for two spin qubits to date due to the small qubit size, which makes it difficult to control qubits without creating crosstalk errors. Here, we use a four-qubit silicon processor with every operation above the fault tolerant limit and demonstrate Grover's algorithm with a ~95% probability of finding the marked state, one of the most successful implementations to date. Our four-qubit processor is made of three phosphorus atoms and one electron spin precision-patterned into 1.5 nm${}^2$ isotopically pure silicon. The strong resulting confinement potential, without additional confinement gates that can increase cross-talk, leverages the benefits of having both electron and phosphorus nuclear spins. Significantly, the all-to-all connectivity of the nuclear spins provided by the hyperfine interaction not only allows for efficient multi-qubit operations, but also provides individual qubit addressability. Together with the long coherence times of the nuclear and electron spins, this results in all four single qubit fidelities above 99.9% and controlled-Z gates between all pairs of nuclear spins above 99% fidelity. The high control fidelities, combined with >99% fidelity readout of all nuclear spins, allows for the creation of a three-qubit Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) state with 96.2% fidelity, the highest reported for semiconductor spin qubits so far. Such nuclear spin registers can be coupled via electron exchange, establishing a path for larger scale fault-tolerant quantum processors.

description: THE INTRINSIC RATE OF INCREASE AND TEMPERATURE CO-EFFICIENTS OF THE COMSTOCK MEALYBUG,

PSEUDOCOCCUS COMSTOCKI (KUWANA) (HEMIPTERA: COCCOIDEA: PSEUDOCOCCIDAE).

Life history studies on the development of Pseudococcus comstocki (Kuwana) were made under laboratory conditions at four constant temperatures, namely 18, 22, 26 and 30°C. Temperature proved to have a significant effect on development, survival, reproduction and longevity, and on the sex ratio of P. comstocki. Reproduction, survival and longevity were greatest at 22-26°C and lowest at 30°C, which was detrimental to the nymphs. It was also found that the sex ratio became female biased at 30°C. On the basis of these data, the intrinsic rate of natural increase (rm) was computed to be 0.05, 0.07, 0.10 and 0.08 at the above temperatures and the gross reproduction rate (GRR) was also temperature dependent and was calculated to be 153, 249, 210 and 57. The lower temperature threshold for development (TL) was estimated to be 11.0°C and the time from birth to adulthood (K) 523 degree days.

description: The thesis attempts to show the workings of modern change in a Chinese lineage-village. To do so, historical materials (genealogies, Chinese and British government records, etc.) have "been used wherever possible to create a picture of the lineage-village as it was before the period of change commenced at the end of the 19th century. Material, "both historical and actual, was gathered in libraries as well as in the course of a protracted residence in the village. The lineage is viewed both as a discrete group and as a unit in a wider society. The internal organization of the lineage is analyzed under the two main heads of Community and Kinship-ritual, dualistic patterns of segmentation and leadership being particularly emphasised, while the duality is shown to have great importance in regard to change, which is seen to have destroyed the balance between the two factors. Care has been taken to describe the lineage in relation to its environment, not only by means of a lengthy geographical and historical introduction, but by tracing out also the relationships of the lineage with other groups similarly and dissimilarly constituted. The effect of these relationships on leadership, land-holdings, aggrandizement, etc, is shown. The external factors contributing to change, and the acceleration in the process of change in recent years are detailed, and it is pointed out that certain phenomena of the lineage-village acted as vehicles for change, giving change with continuity in many aspects of village life.

description: BIOLOGY OF THE HORSE CHESTNUT SCALE, PULVINARIA REGALIS CANARD (HEMIPTERA: COCCOIDEA: COCCIDAE), IN SWITZERLAND.

In 1997, many lime (Tilia spp.) and horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum) trees in the centre of Zurich were found to be heavily infested by the horse chestnut scale, Pulvinaria regalis Canard. The biology of this introduced coccid was studied for one year. Crawlers hatched from the end of May and moved to the leaves of their host plants. There the nymphs settled and fed until Sept./Oct., when they migrated to adjacent twigs to overwinter as the 3rd-instar females. After the final nymphal moult in the spring, the adult female went through a period of rapid growth. Adult males appeared for a short period at the beginning of May but were rare. At this time, the females began to move to the main branches and the trunk of the tree, where they secreted a white ovisac consisting of wax filaments. Shortly after oviposition, the females died but remained attached to the ovisac. Two species of aphelinid (Coccophagus lycimnia (Walker) and, much less commonly, C. semicircularis (Förster)) emerged from parasitised scale nymphs in May (on twigs) and at the beginning of September (on leaves). The average rate of parasitisation of P. regalis was low (≤5%). No dipteran and only a few coccinellid predators were found during the sampling period.

description: THE PRODUCTION OF LONG ANAL FILAMENTS BY THE BAMBOO NODE MEALYBUG, ANTONINA SP. (HEMIPTERA: COCCOIDEA: PSEUDOCOCCIDAE), AS A RESPONSE TO LACK OF ATTENDING ANTS.

Bamboo node mealybugs, Antonina sp., in the absence of attending ants, were observed to produce long waxy filaments both in the field and in the greenhouse. In contrast, ant-attended mealybugs had only very short filaments or none at all. Ant exclusion experiments confirmed the field observations. The available data suggest that the long filaments are an adaptation for the dispersal of honeydew in the absence of solicitous ants, so as to avoid drowning in the accumulating honeydew or suffocation due to development of sooty moulds.

title: Foreign private investment in Nigerian manufacturing, 1939-1965.
Creators: name: Nwankwo, Green O.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1967

description: The Nigerian Governments in speeches to the public and foreign missions and in Parliamentary Debates have repeatedly emphasised the need for foreign private capital and the desired measures to attract it to Nigerian manufacturing. The reasons for this are clear: Nigeria is deficient in physical capital as well as in the knowledge of modem industrial and managerial technique. She therefore needs foreign capital and expertise to supplement her own resources. The extent of this reliance is illustrated in the fact that the Federal Government financed 40 per cent of her 1955/62 Development Plan from foreign sources; and the National Development Plan, 1962/68, depends for its successful execution on a 50 per cent contribution from foreign resources. So far, however, no proper study has been made of the amount of foreign private investment in Nigerian manufacturing, the factors that influenced its stock and distribution, the mechanism and channels by which it entered Nigeria, or an evaluation of its possible contribution to Nigeria's economic development. This study attempts to fill this gap. The thesis is divided into eight chapters. Chapter One examines the amount and the main factors which influenced foreign private investment in Nigerian manufacturing during 1939/54 and finds that it is small and that government policy played a negative role. Chapter Two analyses the amount and sectoral distribution of foreign manufacturing investment during 1955/65 and finds that it is considerable relative to the period, 1939/54. Chapters Three and Four examine the main factors responsible for this and find that the two most important favourable factors were government policy and Nigeria's potential market. The location of foreign manufacturing is examined in Chapter Five which finds that it is concentrated in Southern Nigeria and in the principal town or regional capital within the Regions. Chapter Six, which examines the mechanism of foreign private investment in Nigerian manufacturing, finds that partnership between indigenous and foreign capital is now common. The channels of investment are examined in Chapter Seven. It is found that about 69 per cent of foreign private investment in Nigeria during 1961/64 came from sources internal to the companies and that retained earnings accounted for about 29 per cent of net new investment during 1961/63. Chapter Eight examines the contribution of foreign manufacturing investment to Nigeria's economic development, Summarises the main findings of the study and highlights the main defects of Nigeria's industrial policy. An appendix relates foreign private investment in manufacturing to all foreign private Investment in Nigeria during the period of this study.

description: LIFE TABLES OF LEPIDOSAPHES ULMI (L.) AND PALAEOLECANIUM BITUBERCULATUM (TARGIONI TOZZETTI) (HEMIPTERA: COCCOIDEA) ON APPLE TREES IN VAN PROVINCE, TURKEY.

Apples are the most important cultivated crop in Van Province in Eastern Anatolia Region, Turkey, where Lepidosaphes ulmi (L.) and Palaeolecanium bituberculatum (Targioni Tozzetti) (Hemiptera: Coccoidea) are amongst the most economically important pest species. Life-table data were collected in the field for these two species in two different apple orchards. The development time for each stage was recorded once a month in the Winter and every fortnight during the Spring, Summer and Autumn. In each orchard, both shoots and leaves of five randomly selected trees were sampled and each stage of the two scale species was counted. The life-table data were analyzed with regard to the age of the insects and the season, and it was found that L. ulmi and P. bituberculatum had one generation a year. Of several mortality factors, parasitisation was the most important (25.8% for L. ulmi and 23.8% for P. bituberculatum).

description: A majority of statistically educated scientists draw incorrect conclusions based on the most commonly used statistical technique: null hypothesis significance testing (NHST). Frequentist techniques are often claimed to be incorrectly interpreted as Bayesian outcomes, which suggests that a Bayesian framework may fit better to inferences researchers frequently want to make (Briggs, 2012). The current study set out to test this proposition. Firstly, we investigated whether there is a discrepancy between what researchers think they can conclude and what they want to be able to conclude from NHST. Secondly, we investigated to what extent researchers want to incorporate prior study results and their personal beliefs in their statistical inference. Results show the expected discrepancy between what researchers think they can conclude from NHST and what they want to be able to conclude. Furthermore, researchers were interested in incorporating prior study results, but not their personal beliefs, into their statistical inference.

title: Studies in Vietnamese case grammar.
Creators: name: Diem, Huynh Xuan
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1979

description: This thesis is primarily concerned with a description of the syntax of some sentence-types in Vietnamese in terms of a 'CASE' Grammar. 'CASE', in this study, is intended to account for the underlying functional relationships of noun phrases and of sentential complements to the main verb of the sentence. The study of CASES is carried on within the modified framework of Fillmore's Case Grammar. The centrality of the verb is emphasised. The Cases are predictable from the semantic features of the verb. Causative constructions, Topicalisation, Passivisation and Complement-types in Vietnamese have been examined. To identify Cases, syntactic and semantic tests have been used. Finally, in order to formalise the description of the syntactic-semantic relationships between the verb and the Cases in the sentence, a set of base and transformational rules have also been proposed. It is hoped that this thesis will help Vietnamese students of Linguistics and teachers of Vietnamese towards a better understanding of their mother tongue.
A STUDY ON THE LIFE HISTORY OF LECANOPSIS CLODIENSIS (PELLIZZARI) N. COMB. (HEMIPTERA: COCCOIDEA: COCCIDAE)

description: A STUDY ON THE LIFE HISTORY OF LECANOPSIS CLODIENSIS (PELLIZZARI) N. COMB. (HEMIPTERA: COCCOIDEA: COCCIDAE).

The biology of Lecanopsis clodiensis (Pellizzari) has been studied in Italy, where the species is widespread and lives on Gramineae. The species has one generation/year. Adult emergence takes places in April-May, depending on the meteorological conditions. After mating, the females lay eggs and the crawlers hatch within a month and disperse to the root-crowns of the host plant (a Gramineae) and settle under the leaf-sheath in very protected positions. The 3rd-instar female nymphs and 2nd-instar male nymphs overwinter. All nymphal stages are covered by a glassy wax test. Some aspects of its life history have been investigated in their natural environments (a sandy beach and a meadow) and in the laboratory, particularly its reproductive behaviour, the behaviour of both fertilised and virgin females, its mating behaviour and the dispersal of the adult female. Other observations on the remarkable biology of this species are reported.

Key words: voltinism, sex ratio, eggsac, pupa, phototaxis, host plants, sex pheromones.

description: We combine scanning-tunneling-spectroscopy experiments probing magnetic impurities on a superconducting surface with a theoretical analysis of the tunneling processes between (superconducting) tip and substrate. We show that the current is carried by single-electron tunneling at large tip-substrate distances and Andreev reflections at smaller distances. The single-electron current requires relaxation processes between the impurity-induced Shiba bound state and the quasiparticle continuum, allowing us to extract information on such relaxation processes from our analysis.
title: The Caliphate of Hisham b. 'Abd al-Malik (105-125/724-743) with special reference to internal problems.
Creators: name: Khleifat, Awad M.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London

description: The Umayyad Caliphate during the reign of Hisham b. 'Abd al-Malik (105-125/724-743) is the theme of this study. It commences with a survey of the major sources and brief comments on some relevant modem works. Chapter I deals with the early life of Hisham and the situation in the empire prior to his accession to the throne. The second Chapter is concerned with the Shi'i opposition and is divided into two parts: part I deals with the revolt of Zayd b. 'Ali. In it Zayd's relationship with his brother, al-Baqir, and his son, Ja'far al-Sadiq, and also with Wasil b. 'Aia' are discussed. Zayd's activities before his revolt in addition to the events of the rebellion and its consequences are thoroughly investigated. Part II deals with the ghulat movement during the period under study. Chapter III is also divided into two parts: part I deals with the Berber revolt in North-Africa. The motives, events and the results of this rebellion are discussed. The Civil War in Spain is the subject of part II. The Kharijite opposition in the east and the Coptic revolts in Egypt are presented in the fourth Chapter. The motives, events and results of the rebellious movement of al-Harith b. Surayj are scrutinised in the fifth Chapter. The sixth Chapter deals with the Arab conquest in Khurasan and Transoxania while the seventh Chapter is concerned with the Arab conquest in Armenia, Adharbayjan and Caucasus in addition to the Arab-Khazar war during the period under consideration.

description: Topological quantum information processing relies on adiabatic braiding of nonabelian quasiparticles. Performing the braiding operations in finite time introduces transitions out of the ground-state manifold and deviations from the nonabelian Berry phase. We show that these errors can be eliminated by suitably designed counterdiabatic correction terms in the Hamiltonian. We implement the resulting shortcuts to adiabaticity for simple protocols of nonabelian braiding and show that the error suppression can be substantial even for approximate realizations of the counterdiabatic terms.
title: The Hebrew periodical Ha-Shiloah from 1896-1919 and its role in the development of modern Hebrew literature.
Creators: name: Attia El-Rahman, Ali M.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1979

description: The Hebrew monthly Ha-Shiloah is one of a very few periodicals which made a great impact on the development of modern Hebrew literature. In order to establish the importance of this periodical, Chapter I of this thesis is devoted to a discussion of the knowledge of Hebrew among the reading public and the various methods of Jewish education. This is followed by a historical survey of Hebrew periodicals in Germany, Austria, Russia and Poland before the publication of Ha-Shiloah. Chapter II is devoted to the period in which Ha-Shiloah was edited by Ahad Ha-'Am. It includes his efforts to establish the paper, his editorial policy and the argument of the 'Young Writers' against.it. A discussion - is also included of some literary and. administrative problems that came from his editorial treatment of contributions to the periodical and his determination to maintain a high literary standard. The last section of this chapter is a literary survey of the material that appeared in Ha-Shiloah during this period. Chapter III treats the rest of the European period before the paper was moved to Palestine. It discusses the change of editors and the consequent change in policy. The role of Klausner and Bialik in editing the journal, and the influence of Ahad Ha-Am on both are surveyed in detail. The chapter also includes a discussion of the link between Ha-Shiloah and Ha-Sofeh and the effect of this link on the publication of Ha-Shiloah. Other problems which faced the publication of Ha-Shiloah are fully analyzed. The last section is a literary assessment of material that appeared in the journal during this period. Chapter IV is a summary survey of argument presented in the preceding chapters.

title: Some aspects of modern Greek syntax.
Creators: name: Kakouriotis, Athansios
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1979

description: The present thesis aims to describe some aspects of Mod Greek syntax.It contains an introduction and five chapters. The introduction states the purpose for writing this thesis and points out the fact that it is a data-oriented rather than a theory-oriented work. Chapter one deals with the word order in Mod Greek. The main conclusion drawn from this chapter is that, given the relatively rich system of inflexions of Mod Greek,there is a freedom of word order in this language an attempt is made to account for this phenomenon in terms of the thematic structure of the sentence and PSP theory. The second chapter examines the clitics; special attention is paid to clitic objects and some problems concerning their syntactic relations .to the rest of the sentence are pointed out; the chapter ends with the tentative suggestion that clitics might be taken care of by the morphological component of the grammar. Chapter three deals with complementation; this a vast area of study and for this reason the analysis is confined to 'oti', 'na' and'pu' complement clauses; Object Raising, Verb Raising and Extraposition are also discussed in this chapter. The fourth chapter takes up Relative Clauses but again the analysis is confined to the two main relativizers that is, to 'o opios' and 'pu'. It is suggested that for 'pu' a complementizer analysis is quite possible.The second part of the chapter discusses Relative Extraposition which is explained in terms of thematic structure and FSP theory. Chapter five is about Coordination in Mod Greek.An attempt is made to distinguish between ' sentential" and 'phrasal' in terms of 'processes'.Gapping is also examined and pragmatic considerations are taken into account for its analysis. The thesis ends with a section which contains all the relevant bibliography.

description: Ancient civilizations have passed down to us a vast range of monumental structures. Monumentality is a complex phenomenon that we address here as ‘XXL’. It encompasses a large range of different aspects, such as sophisticated technical and logistical skills and the vast economic resources required. This contribution takes a closer look at the special interdependence of space and knowledge represented by such XXL projects. We develop a set of objective criteria for determining whether an object qualifies as ‘XXL’, in order to permit a broadly framed study comparing manifestations of the XXL phenomenon in different cultures and describing the functional and conceptional role of the phenomenon in antiquity. Finally, we illustrate how these criteria are being applied in the study of large construction projects in ancient civilizations through six case studies.
