title: Wheels within wheels: Freight transport in South Africa.
Creators: name: Barrett, Jane
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1992

description: This study focuses on road freight transport in South Africa, as one part of a transport system which should integrate different modes of transport. Road freight is seen not only as closely related to the movement of passengers, but also as integral to the process of production. The efficient organisation of road freight transport is seen to hinge largely on minimising the waste of capacity. Better utilisation of infrastructure, new technology, new methods of operation and of organising human resources are seen to be key elements in improving efficiency. However, the economic imperative of eliminating wasted capacity have to be matched by environmental and social imperatives. A transport policy framework therefore has to encompass these factors. Part One of the study includes an overview of existing transport policy objectives, and suggests some possible alternatives. Part Two describes and analyses the relationship of transport to the South African economy as a whole and the economic structure of freight transport (both road and rail). Part Three describes and analyses the administrative framework which currently determines the operation of the freight transport industry. Part Four looks at road freight transport in more detail. The role of freight transport in manufacturing, commerce, and agriculture in South Africa is analysed; various technological developments are explored; external costs such as fuel and maintenance are detailed; and ownership within the road freight sector is analysed. In the Conclusion the author draws some implications of the issues explored in the rest of the study for road freight transport policy formation.

title: A syntactic study of the category of number in the Arabic dialect of Manzala (Egypt).
Creators: name: Elkhoreiby, Abdel-Hamid
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1973

description: This thesis deals with "The Category of Number" as it functions in my own speech as a typical speaker of 'Manzala' dialect. 'Number' is considered as asproperty of the two-phrase 'typifiable' clause structure in subject-predicate relationship. The study concentrates on the concordial relationship between these two phrases and in most examples each consists, in general, of one word. The thesis is divided into two parts: Part One includes, besides the introduction, six chapters. Chapter One recapitulates the earlier treatments of Number in Egyptian Colloquial Arabic; Chapter Two begins with showing how this category can be set up on 'formal' criteria and ends with presenting the sets of two phrase typifiable clause structures; Chapter Three deals with some considerations of the 'Control' in the choice of number concord; Chapter Four with the implications of 'Definiteness' for number; Chapter Five with 'Basic Nominal Phrase Structures', and Chapter Six with 'Extended Nominal Phrase Structures'. Part Two includes an introductory section and five chapters, 7 to 11. Chapters Seven to Nine deal with seta of two phrase typifiable clause 'structures requiring three terms, two terms and one term in the category of number respectively. Chapter Ten deals with 'Noun Forms and Classes' as, in general, nouns are involved - actually or potentially - in the concordial process of number. Chapter Eleven deals with the concordial relation-ship of clauses involving Construct 'Quantifier + Noun' because of the difficulty in ascertaining in certain examples which of these two elements controls the number concord.

description: We present the volumetric rates and luminosity functions (LFs) of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) from the $V$-band All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN) catalogues spanning discovery dates from UTC 2014-01-26 to UTC 2017-12-29. Our standard sample consists of 404 SNe Ia with $m_{V,\mathrm{peak}}<17$ mag and Galactic latitude $|b|>15^{\circ}$. Our results are both statistically more precise and systematically more robust than previous studies due to the large sample size and high spectroscopic completeness. We make completeness corrections based on both the apparent and absolute magnitudes by simulating the detection of SNe Ia in ASAS-SN light curves. We find a total volumetric rate for all subtypes of $R_{\mathrm{tot}}=2.28^{+0.20}_{-0.20}\,\times 10^{4}\,\mathrm{yr}^{-1}\,\mathrm{Gpc}^{-3}\,h^{3}_{70}$ for $M_{V,\mathrm{peak}}<-16.5$ mag ($R_{\mathrm{tot}}=1.91^{+0.12}_{-0.12}\,\times 10^{4}\,\mathrm{yr}^{-1}\,\mathrm{Gpc}^{-3}\,h^{3}_{70}$ for $M_{V,\mathrm{peak}}<-17.5$ mag) at the median redshift of our sample, $z_{\mathrm{med}}=0.024$. This is in agreement ($1σ$) with the local volumetric rates found by previous studies. We also compile luminosity functions (LFs) for the entire sample as well as for subtypes of SNe Ia for the first time. The major subtypes with more than one SN include Ia-91bg, Ia-91T, Ia-CSM, and Ia-03fg with total rates of $R_{\mathrm{Ia-91bg}}=1.4^{+0.5}_{-0.5} \times 10^{3}\,\mathrm{yr}^{-1}\,\mathrm{Gpc}^{-3}\,h^{3}_{70}$, $R_{\mathrm{Ia-91T}}=8.5^{+1.6}_{-1.7} \times 10^{2}\,\mathrm{yr}^{-1}\,\mathrm{Gpc}^{-3}\,h^{3}_{70}$, $R_{\mathrm{Ia-CSM}}=10^{+7}_{-7}\,\mathrm{yr}^{-1}\,\mathrm{Gpc}^{-3}\,h^{3}_{70}$, and $R_{\mathrm{Ia-03fg}}=30^{+20}_{-20}\,\mathrm{yr}^{-1}\,\mathrm{Gpc}^{-3}\,h^{3}_{70}$, respectively. We estimate a mean host extinction of $E(V-r)\approx 0.2$ mag based on the shift between our $V$-band and the ZTF $r$-band LFs.

description: Fatty acids are an abundant class of lipids that are characterised by wide structural variation including isomeric diversity arising from the position and configuration of functional groups. Traditional approaches to fatty acid characterisation have combined chromatography and mass spectrometry for a description of the composition of individual fatty acids while infrared (IR) spectroscopy has provided insights into the functional groups and bond configurations at the bulk level. Here we exploit universal 3-pyridylcarbinol ester derivatization of fatty acids to acquire IR spectra of individual lipids as mass-selected gas-phase ions. Intramolecular interactions between the protonated pyridine moiety and carbon–carbon double bonds present highly sensitive probes for regiochemistry and configuration through promotion of strong and predictable shifts in IR resonances. Gas-phase IR spectra obtained from unsaturated fatty acids are shown to discriminate between isomers and enable the first unambiguous structural assignment of 6Z-octadecenoic acid in human-derived cell lines. Compatibility of 3-pyridylcarbinol ester derivatization with conventional chromatography-mass spectrometry and now gas-phase IR spectroscopy paves the way for comprehensive structure elucidation of fatty acids that is sensitive to regio- and stereochemical variations and with the potential to uncover new pathways in lipid metabolism.

description: The ultrafast and element-specific response of magnetic systems containing ferromagnetic 3d transition metals and 4d/5d heavy metals is of interest both from a fundamental as well as an applied research perspective. However, to date no consensus about the main microscopic processes describing the interplay between intrinsic 3d and induced 4d/5d magnetic moments upon femtosecond laser excitation exist. In this work we study the ultrafast response of CoFeB/Pt bilayers by probing element-specific, core-to-valence-band transitions in the extreme ultraviolet spectral range using high harmonic radiation. We show that the combination of magnetic scattering simulations and analysis of the energy- and time-dependent magnetic asymmetries allows us to accurately disentangle the element-specific response in spite of overlapping Co and Fe M2,3 as well as Pt O2,3 and N7 resonances. We find a considerably smaller demagnetization time constant as well as much larger demagnetization amplitudes of the induced moment of Pt compared to the intrinsic moment of CoFeB. Our results are in agreement with enhanced spin-flip probabilities due to the high spin-orbit coupling localized at the heavy metal Pt, as well as with the recently formulated hypothesis that a laser-generated, incoherent magnon population within the ferromagnetic film leads to an overproportional reduction of the induced magnetic moment of Pt.
title: Cleft sentences in Hausa? A syntactic study of focus.
Creators: name: McConvell, Patrick
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1973

description: This thesis sets out to analyse a type of emphatic sentence in Hausa using the theory of transformational-generative grammar. These sentences, which are called focus-emphatic here, are, it is argued, derived by the movement of a constituent into a left-hand position. In such sentences the moved constituent has the thematic property focus. Part I discusses the nature of focus-emphasis and the types of analysis which have been proposed to account for it in Hausa, and in English and certain other languages. In Part II a particular type of analysis in which the focus emphatic sentence is regarded as a type of cleft sentence, and derived from a pseudocleft deep structure, is tested for Hausa and rejected on the basis of the patterns of agreement, of pronominalization and of the behaviour of relative clauses. In Part III two alternative analyses in which the non-emphatic sentence forms part of the deep structure of focus-emphatic sentences are compared: focus-fronting, by which the focus constituent is simply moved to the left, and focus-raising which retains the view that such sentences in Hausa are a type of cleft sentence derived from a pseudo-cleft structure, but proposes in addition a more remote deep structure. It is concluded that focus-raising is preferable, and as a result that some semantic interpretation rules must apply at intermediate as well as deep structure. In the Appendices the rules necessary for this derivation are listed.
A naturally occurring standalone TrpB enzyme provides insights into allosteric communication within tryptophan synthase

description: Allosteric regulation of catalytic activity is a widespread property of multi-enzyme complexes. The tryptophan synthase is a prototypical allosteric enzyme where the constituting α (TrpA) and β (TrpB) subunits mutually activate each other in a manner that is incompletely understood. Experimental and computational studies have shown that LBCA-TrpB from the last bacterial common ancestor contains six residues (Res6) distal from the active site that allow for high stand-alone catalytic activity in the absence of a TrpA subunit. In the present study, a database search revealed that Res6 is also present in the extant plTrpB from Pelodictyon luteolum. The plTrpB enzyme showed a high stand-alone activity and only a moderate activation by plTrpA. The replacement of LBCA-Res6 in plTrpB with the consensus residues from a multiple sequence alignment yielded plTrpB-con, which showed a dramatically decreased stand-alone activity but was strongly stimulated by plTrpA. These findings suggest that the effect of these six key allosteric residues is largely independent of the protein context within a specific TrpB enzyme. Analysis of the conformational landscapes of plTrpB and plTrpB-con revealed that plTrpB in isolation displays efficient closure of both the active site and the communication (COMM) domain. In contrast, these catalytically competent states are destabilized in plTrpB-con but can be recovered by the addition of plTrpA. A correlation-based shortest path map (SPM) analysis reveals that the catalytically and allosterically relevant domains—specifically, the COMM domain in TrpB and loops 2 and 6 in TrpA—are tightly interconnected exclusively in plTrpA:plTrpB-con.
Generalised immersed boundary methods for finite-difference geophysical wavefield modelling
Creators: name: Caunt, Edward
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2024

description: Topography has considerable impact on seismic wavefields, producing complex patterns of reflections and diffractions. Careful representation is paramount in numerical models of such phenomena; omission or poor-quality implementation severely degrades simulation accuracy, carrying into any functionality built atop such models. Whilst structured finite-difference approaches are widely used in seismic simulation, they are difficult to reconcile with such geometries, producing surface representations which are artificially blocky, resulting in nonphysical behaviour. At the large scales involved in seismic simulation, increasing model resolution becomes unfeasibly computationally expensive, necessitating efficient algorithms. Immersed boundary approaches embed curvilinear surfaces within regular computational grids, naturally accommodating irregular topography by suitably continuing fields beyond the interior domain, yielding accurate results with coarser discretisations than would be otherwise possible. By formulating a generalised immersed boundary, a consistent methodology can be applied across a wide range of boundary conditions and geometries, avoiding the need to develop a new numerical treatment for each particular problem. Removing the need for interventions based on domain knowledge, it becomes possible to automatically devise immersed boundary treatments for a given discretisation and set of boundary conditions. A software framework, Schism, was designed for this purpose, creating separation of concerns between numerical model specification and underlying implementation by generating low-level boundary treatments from a high-level symbolic specification. With this novel approach, topography implementation for a wide range of equations was explored, including several problems of seismological interest for which no published examples exist. Mountainous real-world topography could be accurately accommodated with relatively coarse discretisations, suppressing spurious scattering whilst capturing complex reflections and other free-surface effects generated by such irregular profiles. This approach offers a path towards implementation of complex geometries at scale across a diversity of geophysical applications.

description: Headland maneuvering is a crucial aspect of unmanned field operations for autonomous agricultural vehicles (AAVs). While motion planning for headland turning in open fields has been extensively studied and integrated into commercial auto-guidance systems, the existing methods primarily address scenarios with ample headland space and thus may not work in more constrained headland geometries. Commercial orchards often contain narrow and irregularly shaped headlands, which may include static obstacles,rendering the task of planning a smooth and collision-free turning trajectory difficult. To address this challenge, we propose an optimization-based motion planning algorithm for headland turning under geometrical constraints imposed by field geometry and obstacles.

description: We have generalized the well-known statement that the Clifford group is a unitary 3-design into symmetric cases by extending the notion of unitary design. Concretely, we have proven that a symmetric Clifford group is a symmetric unitary 3-design if and only if the symmetry constraint is described by some Pauli subgroup. We have also found a complete and unique construction method of symmetric Clifford groups with simple quantum gates for Pauli symmetries. For the overall understanding, we have also considered physically relevant U(1) and SU(2) symmetry constraints, which cannot be described by a Pauli subgroup, and have proven that the symmetric Clifford group is a symmetric unitary 1-design but not a 2-design under those symmetries. Our findings are numerically verified by computing the frame potentials, which measure the difference in randomness between the uniform ensemble on the symmetric group of interest and the symmetric unitary group. This work will open a new perspective into quantum information processing such as randomized benchmarking, and give a deep understanding to many-body systems such as monitored random circuits.

title: Folk religion and folklore in Taiwan: A study of popular Taoism.
Creators: name: Saso, Michael R.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1971

description: The following is a work on popular religious Taoism, the result of field work carried out in Hsinchu city, Taiwan, between the years 1964 and 1970. It concerns the teachings of an orthodox Cheng-i Heavenly Master sect Taoist named Chuang-Ch'en, and his necessary relationships with the folk religion and its adherents. The first chapter shows that the basic principles of China's folk religion and of popular Taoism are the same. The second chapter cites the folklore and legends shared by the folk religion and Taoism, as well as the myths known only by the Taoist, concerning the origins of the cosmos, and of the doctrines of religious Taoism. Prom a secret Taoist manual the five kinds of Taoist orders are made known for the first time. The third chapter tells the legends of the Ho-t'u and Lo-shu, showing how: these two ancient charts are the basis for Taoist liturgy. Chapter four gives an interpretation of the Yellow Court Canon, (a cryptic text hitherto considered by scholars as a form of Taoist Yoga,) according to which the text must rightfully be considered a manual for liturgical meditation. Chapter five shows how Taoist meditation and the ritual of the popular Taoist are intimately connected. Finally chapter six describes the great festival of the folk religion called Chiao, in which Taoism and the aims of the folk religion are united. The thoughts presented represent orthodox Cheng-i Taoism as practised in north Taiwan, the origin of which can be traced to the Taoist monasteries of mainland China.

description: The present thesis consists of two parts : an introduction and an edition of the book Nadrat Al-Ighrid by Al-Muzaffar Ibn Al-Fadl. The first part of the introduction surveys the political and the cultural conditions during that era. It shows the interest in literary criticism in the sixth and seventh centuries and how it is influenced by the political and social conditions. The second part of the introduction is on the anther himself, his ancestry birth and upbringing, and his relation with al-Wazir Ibn Al-Alqami. After that comes the description of the book and its content. It consists of five chapters. The first Chapter deals mainly with the definition of poetry, its motives, conditions and rules. Chapter two deals with poetical licence: what the poet is allowed and forbidden to use. The third Chapter talks about the merits and impressive qualities of poetry and its impact on the heart. Chapter four deals with the pros and cons of poetry and whether it is better to write poetry or avoid it. Finally, Chapter five deals with what the poet must want, avoid or insist upon. After reviewing the five chapters, some important observations of the book are stated along with the distinguishing features of the book. The last part of the introduction is devoted to the description of the extant copies of Nadrat Al-Ighrid and a brief account of the methods adopted in, producing the presentedition. The second part of this thesis is the Arabic text edited and based on the most ancient and appropriate copies of the book with footnotes, comments and all necessary explanations.

description: Let $\mathfrak g$ be either the Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{gl}(V)\oplus\mathfrak{gl}(V)$ where $V:=\mathbb C^{m|n}$ or the Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{gl}(V)$ where $V:=\mathbb C^{m|2n}$. Furthermore, let $W$ be the $\mathfrak g$-module defined by $W:=V\otimes V^*$ in the former case and $W:=\mathcal S^2(V)$ in the latter case. Associated to $(\mathfrak g,W)$ there exists a distinguished basis of Capelli operators $\left\{D^λ\right\}_{λ\inΩ}$, naturally indexed by a set of hook partitions $Ω$, for the subalgebra of $\mathfrak g$-invariants in the superalgebra $\mathcal{PD}(W)$ of superdifferential operators on $W$.
 Let $\mathfrak b$ be a Borel subalgebra of $\mathfrak g$. We compute eigenvalues of the $D^λ$ on the irreducible $\mathfrak g$-submodules of $\mathcal{P}(W)$ and obtain them explicitly as the evaluation of the interpolation super Jack polynomials of Sergeev--Veselov at suitable affine functions of the $\mathfrak b$-highest weight. While the former case is straightforward, the latter is significantly more complex. This generalizes a result by Sahi, Salmasian and Serganova for these cases, where such formulas were given for a fixed choice of Borel subalgebra.

description: Wetted-foam layers are of significant interest for inertial-confinement-fusion capsules, due to the control they provide over the convergence ratio of the implosion and the opportunity this affords to minimize hydrodynamic instability growth. However, the equation of state for fusion-relevant foams are not well characterized, and many simulations rely on modeling such foams as a homogeneous medium with the foam average density. To address this issue, an experiment was performed using the VULCAN Nd:glass laser at the Central Laser Facility. The aim was to measure the principal Hugoniot of TMPTA plastic foams at 260mg/cm3, corresponding to the density of liquid DT-wetted-foam layers, and their “hydrodynamic equivalent” capsules. A VISAR was used to obtain the shock velocity of both the foam and an α-quartz reference layer, while streaked optical pyrometry provided the temperature of the shocked material. The measurements confirm that, for the 20–120 GPa pressure range accessed, this material can indeed be well described using the equation of state of the homogeneous medium at the foam density.
Improved mean-field dynamical equations are able to detect the two-steps relaxation in glassy dynamics at low temperatures

description: We study the stochastic relaxation dynamics of the Ising p-spin model on a random graph, a well-known model with glassy dynamics at low temperatures. We introduce and discuss a new closure scheme for the master equation governing the continuous-time relaxation of the system, that translates into a set of differential equations for the evolution of local probabilities. The solution to these dynamical mean-field equations describes very well the out-of-equilibrium dynamics at high temperatures, notwithstanding the key observation that the off-equilibrium probability measure contains higher-order interaction terms, not present in the equilibrium measure. In the low-temperature regime, the solution to the dynamical mean-field equations shows the correct two-step relaxation (a typical feature of the glassy dynamics), but with a relaxation timescale too short. We propose a solution to this problem by identifying the range of energies where entropic barriers play a key role and defining a renormalized microscopic timescale for the dynamical mean-field solution. The final result perfectly matches the complex out-of-equilibrium dynamics computed through extensive Monte Carlo simulations.

description: Context. Stellar granulation generates fluctuations in photometric and spectroscopic data whose properties depend on the stellar type, composition, and evolutionary state. Characterizing granulation is key for understanding stellar atmospheres and detecting planets. Aims. We aim to detect the signatures of stellar granulation, link spectroscopic and photometric signatures of convection for main-sequence stars, and test predictions from 3D hydrodynamic models. Methods. For the first time, we observed two bright stars (Teff = 5833 and 6205 K) with high-precision observations taken simultaneously with CHEOPS and ESPRESSO. We analyzed the properties of the stellar granulation signal in each individual dataset. We compared them to Kepler observations and 3D hydrodynamic models. While isolating the granulation-induced changes by attenuating and filtering the p-mode oscillation signals, we studied the relationship between photometric and spectroscopic observables. Results. The signature of stellar granulation is detected and precisely characterized for the hotter F star in the CHEOPS and ESPRESSO observations. For the cooler G star, we obtain a clear detection in the CHEOPS dataset only. The TESS observations are blind to this stellar signal. Based on CHEOPS observations, we show that the inferred properties of stellar granulation are in agreement with both Kepler observations and hydrodynamic models. Comparing their periodograms, we observe a strong link between spectroscopic and photometric observables. Correlations of this stellar signal in the time domain (flux versus radial velocities, RV) and with specific spectroscopic observables (shape of the cross-correlation functions) are however difficult to isolate due to S/N dependent variations. Conclusions. In the context of the upcoming PLATO mission and the extreme precision RV surveys, a thorough understanding of the properties of the stellar granulation signal is needed. The CHEOPS and ESPRESSO observations pave the way for detailed analyses of this stellar process.

description: BACKGROUND: Transcriptional activation of otherwise repressed retrotransposable elements (RTEs) is a hallmark of cancer, shaping tumour progression and immunogenicity by multifaceted, yet incompletely understood, mechanisms. METHODS: We used an extended pan-cancer transcriptome assembly to identify potential effects of RTEs on the genes within which they have integrated or those in proximity. These were subsequently verified in test cases by further analysis of transcriptional profiles in cancer patient data, and by in vitro studies involving restoration of gene activity, and proliferation and migration assays in cancer cell lines. RESULTS: We report that cancer-specific transcriptional activation of RTEs causes frequent reduction or loss of gene function. Exonisation and alternative splicing of RTEs creates non-functional RNA and protein isoforms and derepressed RTE promoter activity initiates antisense transcription, both at the expense of the canonical isoforms. Contrary to theoretical expectation, transcriptionally activated RTEs affect genes with established tumour-promoting functions, including the common essential RNGTT and the lung cancer-promoting CHRNA5 genes. Furthermore, the disruptive effect of RTE activation on adjacent tumour-promoting genes is associated with slower disease progression in clinical data, whereas experimental restoration of gene activity enhances tumour cell growth and invasiveness in vitro. CONCLUSIONS: These findings underscore the gene-disruptive potential of seemingly innocuous germline RTE integrations, unleashed only by their transcriptional utilisation in cancer. They further suggest that such metastable RTE integrations are co-opted as sensors of the epigenetic and transcriptional changes occurring during cellular transformation and as executors that disrupt the function of tumour-promoting genes.

description: Two-dimensional transition-metal carbides and nitrides “MXenes” have demonstrated great potential as electrode materials for electrochemical energy storage systems. This is especially true for delaminated Ti3C2Tx, which already shows outstanding gravimetric and volumetric capacitance, with areal capacitance limited by thickness (only a few microns). However, the performance of multilayer Ti3C2Tx has been more modest. Here, we report on using metal cation (viz., Na+, K+, and Mg2+) pre-intercalated multilayer Ti3C2Tx as electrodes for aqueous supercapacitors. These electrodes are scalable and amenable to roll-to-roll manufacturing, with adjustable areal loadings of 5.2 to 20.1 mg/cm2. K–Ti3C2Tx exhibited the highest capacitances at different scan rates. A gravimetric capacitance comparable to that of delaminated MXene of up to 300 F/g was achieved for multilayer K–Ti3C2Tx but with an outstanding ultra-high areal capacitance of up to 5.7 F/cm2, which is 10-fold higher than the 0.5 F/cm2 of delaminated MXene and exceeds the 4.0 F/cm2 of microengineered MXene electrodes.

description: The South Pole–Aitken (SPA) basin is the oldest and largest visible impact structure on the Moon, making it a high priority science site for exploration missions. The 492 km diameter Apollo peak-ring basin is one of the youngest and largest basins within the SPA basin. We selected three regions of interest (ROIs) in the Apollo basin for which the landing and operational hazards are minimized and evaluated their science and in situ resource utilization (ISRU) potential. We examined topography, slope, crater density, rock abundance, geologic mapping, mineralogy, and inferred subsurface stratigraphy within each ROI. The results show that the terrain is safe for landing without precision landing (within a few hundred meters). The mare materials have high ISRU potential with relatively high FeO (∼16–20 wt%) and TiO2 (∼3–10 wt%) contents. Two robotic exploration mission architectures were examined for their scientific potential: (1) lander and rover with a dedicated payload suite and (2) the same architecture with sample return capability. In situ observations can address six of seven National Research Council concepts (1–3, 5–7) and Campaigns 1 and 5 of the European Space Agency's Strategy for Science at the Moon.
title: Some aspects of social relations between the Indian immigrants in the United Kingdom and the host society with particular reference to economic activities.
Creators: name: Desai, R. H.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London

description: As the title indicates, the subject-matter of this thesis is the social relations between the Indian immigrants and the host society in the United Kingdom. The Indian immigrants in the United Kingdom which are a part of the social category 'Indians in the United Kingdom' have formed themselves into linguistic-regional communities based on the immigrants' origins in India. This community is the largest group within which all-immigrant relationships are confined. In other words it is a sociological isolate not always consciously recognised by the Immigrants themselves. The immigrants identify themselves emotionally with a smaller sub-group viz. the village-kin group. This is composed of the immigrants who see each other as relatives or as members of their village of origin in India. The closest co-operation in the extra-familial activities exist within this group. The nature and extent of an immigrant's participation or his voluntary exclusion from the activities in which the immigrant enters into relationship with the host society can be fruitfully co-related to his membership of this twin groupings i.e. the Indian community or the village-kin group. In a number of situations of contact with the host society, an individual immigrant uses his membership of the group to derive some positive advantage. The thesis is then concerned with the manner and the situations in which this is done. In the first chapter I have given an account of the field-work and the sociological issues involved in the thesis. In the second chapter I identify the Indian immigrants, through socio-cultural facts which are useful in the latter analysis and also give an account of the structural features of the Indian community. In the third chapter, I describe the settlement of Indians in the United Kingdom and also deal with problems concerning housing, overcrowding and so on. In the next chapter, which is of special importance, deals with work-situation, in which almost all immigrants come into contact with members of the host society. The first part deals with the participation of immigrants in the economic activities of the host society; the second part deals with the exclusive economic activities of the immigrants. The fifth chapter deals with mixed marriages and sex relationships between the immigrants and the members of the host society. The sixth chapter deals with immigrant leadership and the associations through which it functions. The last chapter deals with the conclusions.

description: This study provides a meta-analysis on the relationships between cattle barn CH4, NH3 and N2O emission rates and their key drivers (i.e., housing type, floor type, environmental conditions). Understanding these relationships is essential to reduce uncertainties in emission inventories and suggest targeted mitigation measures. The total number of daily emission rates included in the analysis was 139 for CH4, 293 for NH3 and 100 for N2O emissions. Emission rates in the database showed a large variation with 45–803.5 g/LU d−1 for CH4, 0.036–146.7 gN LU−1 d−1 for NH3, and 0.002–18 gN LU−1 d−1 for N2O emissions. Despite the high emission variability, significant effects were identified·NH3 showed positive correlation with air temperature; NH3 emissions differed between housing types but not between floor types·NH3 emissions from tied stalls were lower than the ones from cubicle housing regardless of the floor type. Additionally, NH3 emissions from loose housings were lower than the ones from cubicle housing·NH3 and N2O emission rates from temperate wet zones were lower than the ones from temperate dry zones. CH4 emission rates were affected by environmental factors only and not by housing and floor type, showing negative correlation with air temperature and humidity. The factors investigated can be suggested as ancillary variables and descriptors when cattle barn emissions are measured, in order to make best use of emission data. Country-specific data of these key drivers can be included into national inventories to adapt them to different agroecosystems and support targeted policies.

description: It's difficult to accurately predict the flow with shock waves over an aircraft due to the flow's strongly nonlinear characteristics. In this study, we propose an accuracy-enhanced flow prediction method that fuses deep learning and reduced-order model to achieve fast flow field prediction for various aerodynamic shapes. First, we establish the convolutional neural network-proper orthogonal decomposition (CNN-POD) model for mapping geometries to the entire flow field. Next, local flow regions containing nonlinear flow structures are identified through POD reconstruction for enhanced modeling. Then, a new CNN model is employed to map geometries to the local flow field. The proposed method is finally applied in predicting transonic flow over airfoils. The results indicate that the proposed enhanced DNN method can reduce the prediction error of flow properties, particularly in the regions with shock waves (up to 13%-46%). Additionally, the better efficiency and robustness of the proposed methods have been validated in comparison to existing methods.
