title: Role of government in the industrialization of Iraq, 1950-65.
Creators: name: Jalal, Ferhang
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1968

description: Iraq is a poor country with a per capita income of I.D. 76 (0 212) per annum in 1965. She has underdeveloped resources and large supplies of foreign exchange from her oil exports. She is not short of unskilled labour or land and excellent opportunities exist for development in agriculture. Since 1950 the governments have attempted vigorously to develop the economy and have stressed (probably incorrectly) industry and industry has grown from 7.6% of national income in 1953 to 11.2% in 1963 at an annual average rate of 11.5%. In this thesis I have discussed, analysed and appraised a number of policies adopted by the government of Iraq designed to promote the growth of the industrial sector. These policies were of two kinds: (i) The establishment of enterprises financed, constructed and operated by the government. (ii) The encouragement of the expansion of private industrial enterprises, by protecting them from foreign competition, through the provision of finance, by way of tax exemptions of all kinds and through controls over the allocation of investment. This thesis shows that a key constraint on a more rapid rate of industrial growth and the long term development of a viable industrial structure has been the administrative bottleneck. Thus central planners formulated investment programmes without regard to the capacity of government agencies to implement their plans. Consequently only a fraction of funds available for industrialization plans was actually utilized. Moreover because of the low quality and limited capacity of the administrative machinery in relation to the volume and complexity of tasks imposed on it, tariff rates were determined haphazardly, import prohibitions were determined without proper reference to economic principles; tax exemptions were extended arbitrarily; no proper steps were taken to provide industry with sufficient working capital; and the government attempted to control the allocation of private investment by means of very restrictive and cumbersome procedures. Consequently some of the designed incentives acted as impediments to private efforts.
title: An Aladura Church in Eastern Nigeria.
Creators: name: Moller, Caroline Victoria Margaret
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1968

description: This thesis is a synchronic and diachronic study of an aladura or prayer-healing church - the Eternal Sacred Order of Cherubim and Serafim - in the Ibo town of Onitsha, eastern Nigeria. The major part of the thesis concentrates on analysing the structure of relationships in the prayer-house, the processes of role behaviour, and the norms and beliefs that sanction the role structure. The thesis concludes by extending the analysis of roles to the social field of Onitsha where members of the prayer-house earn their living. Chapter 1 begins the thesis with a diachronic analysis of the processes whereby the prophet-founder's charisma was routinised in the Eternal Sacred Order between 1925 and 1966; and the next chapter examines the emerging role structure of the prayer-house, Onitsha, between 1949 and 1966. Chapter 3 considers the religious beliefs and values of Serafim as a synthesis of customary religion and Christianity. This leads on in Chapter 4 to the process of role control which hinges on the visioners and prophets, and to Chapter 5 which studies role strain and conflict in the prayer-house. Chapter 6 begins with an examination of the principal socioeconomic features of Onitsha as a neo-urban centre. The latter part of the chapter deals with the prayer-house as a segment of the wider social field of Onitsha. The thesis concludes with an assessment of the structural significance of the role structure of the branch of the Eternal Sacred Order at Fegge, Onitsha.

description:
Endometrial cancer (EC) is a growing public health concern. This secondary data study of a case series leveraged existing samples and data to explore the potential link between exposure to heavy metals/essential elements and stage of EC. We analyzed urine samples from women with EC, measuring levels of toxic metals (cadmium, mercury, and lead) and essential elements (zinc and copper). Our findings revealed that higher levels of mercury, cadmium, and lead are associated with more advanced EC stages. Conversely, zinc showed a protective effect, potentially mitigating EC stage progression. Copper levels did not show a clear association with EC stage. These results highlight the potential impact of environmental exposures on EC stage and the crucial need for advanced statistical methods to understand the combined effects of these pollutants on health and the need for public health interventions. Further research is needed to explore the mechanisms by which these metals influence EC stage and long-term outcomes.
title: Four early essays of Lu Hsun.
Creators: name: Castro, Angela Shek-hing
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1968

description: Foreign aggression in the middle of the nineteenth century forced the door of China open, but it was the attraction of Western science and knowledge of Western civilisation which really succeeded in conquering and transforming the Chinese mind. The process is best illustrated and discussed in these four early essays written by Lu Hsun, acclaimed as one of the most outstanding and patriotic Chinese writers of the twentieth century: "The History of Han", "The Lesson of the History of Science", "On the Perverted Development of Culture" and "On the Power of Mara Poetry", Lu Hsun saw Western science as a promoter of the physical well-being of man, but he was more anxious that his countrymen should hare the correct perspective towards Western civilisation as a whole in order to be truly benefitted by it. He therefore spoke out against the two extreme and antithetical tendencies of his age, that of complete obsession with materialism and utilitarianism, and of complacency about the illusionary Chinese superiority in spiritual civilisation. He recommended a critical attitude towards both Western and Chinese civilisations, but advocated idealism in place of materialism and individualism in place of democracy, which, he was convinced, were more urgently needed in the revitalisation of China. He cited Haeckel, Stirner, Kierkegaard, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Ibsen, Byron, Shelley and the Slav romantics like Pushkin, Lermontov, Mickiewicz, Slowacki and Petofi as exponents of true subjective idealism. Literature he viewed as the best means to instil great thought and noble emotion into man to emancipate him from the pettiness of life and outdated conventions. The optimism and confidence of his beliefs were sustained by a faith in the evolutionary process which was interpreted as the inevitable progress of man. Lu Hsun later modified and discarded some of these beliefs, but on the whole, he never swerved from the most fundamental ones. These essays, the translation of which are incorporated in the second half of this study following their order in the writer's anthology, were executed in a style very different from his later one. Archaic in places and difficult on the whole, they nevertheless hare a richness and a classical charm absent in his later essays.

title: An anthropological study of political action in a Bajuni village in Kenya.
Creators: name: Bujra, Janet M.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1968

description: The main theme of this thesis is a sociological analysis of a process of political conflict in a village community. The village - Tundwa - has a population of just over a thousand persons and is situated on an island lying just off the north Kenya coast, near the border with Somalia. It is a village where political factionalism is an important element in social life. My aim in this thesis has been to show that conflicts between the factions were an expression of underlying social and economic causes and that the recruitment of support for the factions was based on the pre-existing structure of linkages in the community. The focal material of this thesis is therefore contained in Chapter VIII where I describe in detail the series of connected 'social dramas' or crisis situations which punctuated the development of factional conflicts in Tundwa in 1965.;The first part of the thesis is devoted to an analysis of the three most important aspects of Tundwa's social organisation - economic organisation, kinship and social stratification. Each of these aspects of social organisation creates a contextual framework for social action, and each of them is influential in determining the alliances of people in political crises. These frameworks do not always coincide however and so one has situations where people have a conflict of loyalties - perhaps between their loyalties to kin as opposed to their economic interests, or perhaps between their economic interests and their social status. In the second part of the thesis I concentrate exclusively on the politics of Tundwa. First I describe the relationship between the people and the Central government. The character of this relationship provides a further dimension to our understanding of political action. In Chapter VIII and the Conclusion I show that by looking at factionalism in dynamic sociological terms we can understand its basic underlying causes.

title: Critical edition of Sections III, IV and V of the anonymous paraphrastic Hebrew translation of "Kitab al-Amanat wal I'tiqadat" by Saadia Gaon.
Creators: name: Fattah, Nazek Ibrahim Abdul
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1968

description: The paraphrastic Hebrew rendering of Kitab al-Amanat wal Itiqadat is an example of a genre of translation which was adopted by Hebrew scholars in the Middle Ages, and as yet has not been sufficiently studied. This present work is intended to highlight in particular the linguistic peculiarities of this genre, as reflected in the Paraphrase. Chapter I is divided into two sections, the first of which discusses the origin of the Paraphrase and its authorship, the second describes the extant manuscripts. The Hebrew text appears in Chapter II; for easy reference photographs of the base text (ms.B) are appended, accompanied by a critical apparatus of each folio. Chapter III presents an analysis of the Paraphrast's methods of translation. It shows how by expanding and freely interpreting the Arabic original he also frequently adds his own explanations. It points out the influence of the Arabic text on the Paraphrase and also the relationship of Ibn Tibbon's translation to the Paraphrase. An alphabetical Glossary is given in Chapter IV. This illustrates the Paraphrast's particular choice of vocabulary and his tendency to coin words. Chapter V gives summary conclusions.
title: The invasion of Nepal: John Company at war 1814-1816.
Creators: name: Pemble, John
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1968

description: The Nepal War symbolized an attempt by the East India Company to preserve its territorial income and to end the anarchy which the collapse of the Mogul empire had engendered in north India, by asserting the rights it had inherited from the Mogul vassals. The attempt involved a war against Nepal because the Gurkha dynasty, having already profited by the prevailing chaos to extend its domination over the whole of the eastern Himalayan region, had an interest in the perpetuation of that anarchy. The War did not symbolize an attempt by the East India Company to open the trans-Himalayan countries to British trade. It came about at a time when the Company's old interest in trade with Tibet had been replaced by a paramount concern to propitiate China. As both Nepal and Tibet were now theoretically Chinese vassals, the War was fought not because of, but in spite of a concern to avoid, Himalayan policies of the old type. From a military point of view, the War is interesting because it shows the Bengal army in operation at the beginning of a new stage in its existence: a stage marked on the one hand by a process of structural rationalization, and on the other by the increasing involvement in remote and difficult theatres of war produced by the establishment of British paramountcy in north India. With its inchoate commissariat, intelligence, and organizational machinery, and its new responsibilities, the army required exceptional qualities in its officers. This War eloquently demonstrated the type of leader that the army new needed; but at the same time it revealed that this was the type of leader it was incapable of producing. Humiliating setbacks were suffered as a result of inept command. Out of the four Company major-generals employed, three were dismissed for professional incompetence; and of the three commanders who can be called successful, only one was a Company officer. This was Ochterlony, and even he would have had no opportunity to exercise his talents had it not been for the unforeseeable death of Gillespie, a King's officer. The deterioration of the quality of command was a consequence of the parsimonious application of the system of seniority advancement. None of the dismissed generals was pensioned, and each was subsequently promoted. Ochterlony, because he was a few years their junior, was never promoted, and by the time he died, nine years after the War, was liable to be commanded by both the officers he had, during the course of the War, been appointed to supersede.

title: De-adjectival adverbials in transformational grammar.
Creators: name: Knowles, D. R. J.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1970

description: The purpose of this thesis is to define the processes involved in the formation of Adverbials which have the morphological shape adj+ly, in terms of the theory of Transformational Grammar and starting with the assumptions about syntax contained in Chomsky's "Aspects of the Theory of Syntax" (1965). This thesis is therefore fundamentally descriptive in its aim and attempts to provide analyses for the traditional de-adjectival Adverbials, that is for Manner and Degree and Sentence Adverbials, These are found to be considerably more varied in their syntactic origins that has generally been supposed. It has also been necessary to relate to de-adjectival Adverbials other structures e.g. with + N.P. and like -N.P., which carry out identical functional roles. Some of the conclusions arrived at have implications not only for the analysis of particular structures but also for the nature of the "Model" set up to define natural language. The thesis starts with a consideration of prevalent assumptions concerning the analysis of these Adverbials, One of the central notions of current theory, here termed "The Doctrine of the Unique Source", is that which attempts to explicate the relationship between alternative surface forms of Manner and Degree Adverbials by hypothesising a single Deep Structure category from which they all arise. This "Doctrine" is intimately linked with theoretical assumptions about the nature of Interrogatives and the definition of syntactic function. Since the conclusion is here reached that the "Unique Source" is a mistaken hypothesis some of the support for these related theories is removed. Finally, a further theoretical implication of this study is that the "Aspects" Model is inadequate for defining a relationship between categories that is required for the expression of a process common to all de-adjectival Adverbials, In fact it provides further empirical evidence that the notion "A qualifies B" must be directly definable.

description: In this work we study the role of the heat diffusion equation in simulating the resistive state of superconducting films. By analyzing the current-voltage and current-resistance characteristic curves for temperatures close to $T_c$ and various heat removal scenarios, we demonstrate that heat diffusion notably influences the behavior of the resistive state, specially near the transition to the normal state, where heat significantly changes the critical current and the calculated resistance. Furthermore, we show how the efficiency of the substrate has important effects in the dynamics of the system, particularly for lower temperatures. Finally, we investigate the hysteresis loops, the role of the film thickness and of the Ginzburg-Landau parameter, the findings accounting for heat diffusion in accurately modeling the resistive state of superconducting films and provide valuable insights into its complex dynamics. To accomplish these findings, we have used the $3D$ generalized Ginzburg-Landau equation coupled with the heat diffusion equation.

description: This work is a study of the Iranian caravansarai during the Safavid period. It describes the buildings which for economic and religious reasons were erected during this period. It consists of seven chapters as follows: Chapter one: consists of three parts, introduction, historical background and outline history of the Iranian caravansarai. Chapter two: Caravan Routes and Caravansarais, describes old caravan routes across the Iranian plateau and the caravansarais which were erected along these routes during different periods. Chapter three: consists of a description of the Iranian caravansarai from the early Islamic period up to the end of the Timurid period and its development in its various aspects. Chapter four: deals with Iran during the Safavid period, and consists of subsections with special reference to the Political Situation, Art and Architecture, Decoration and travellers who visited Iran during the Safavid dynasty. Chapter five: is a description of four differnt types of Safavid caravansarais in different cities of Iran. Chapter six: In this chapter is the first translation of a British Museum manuscript dealing with Safavid Caravansarais in Isfahan. It is the writer's belief that this hitherto neglected document is an important addition to our knowledge of these structures. Chapter seven: contains the conclusion, which sums up the result of the investigation and is followed by a list of Safavid rulers, and a bibliography. Illustrations of Iranian caravansarais form the final section of this work.
title: Local government services in India : A case study of Punjab, 1860-1960.
Creators: name: Sachdeva, Des Raj
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1967

description: After independence, local government in India has become grass-roots democracy and an agency for providing not only civic amenities but also for planning and executing the development and welfare programmes. Urban and rural local bodies have accordingly been democratised and the latter entrusted with vast powers. Their success will, however, depend, among other things, on the efficiency of the local government services which in turn will be determined by their professionalisation, recruitment on merit, adequate training, and attractive service conditions. In this thesis various aspects of the services of both the urban local bodies and the Panchayati Raj institutions in the Punjab have been analysed in order to find out whether they possess the characteristics referred to above. Comparisons have also been made with the British local government service wherever necessary. The study comprises nine chapters. Chapter I is a brief introduction of the scope and methods of study. Chapter II traces the historical evolution of local government in the Punjab. Chapters III and IV discuss the structure of urban and rural local governments respectively. Chapters V to VIII deal with recruitment, training, conditions of service with emphasis on pay, promotion, security, and retirement; rules of conduct, disciplinary procedure, integrity and trade unionism. The concluding chapter contains the main findings. The results of the investigation indicate that the essentials of an effective service are not yet established in the local government services in the Punjab. Suggestions have, therefore, been offered to improve upon the prevailing state of affairs. Whitleyism which has largely contributed to the improvement of the service conditions of the local government employees in the United Kingdom may take a long time to be established in the Punjab, where the local authorities associations and employees' unions are yet in their nascent stage.

title: Word-forms in Urdu.
Creators: name: Moizuddin, Mohammed
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1967

description: In this thesis an attempt is made at a formal classification of Urdu words. Words are first classified according to the full range of the different patterns of formal variation, then further sub-classified on the basis of concordial and colligational criteria. Native words have been treated separately from the borrowed words in each class only insofar as they show a different range of the patterns of formal variation. In the Introduction, it has been stated briefly what type of language is used, and the main features of the type of analysis performed. Chapter One forms an Introduction. Chapter Two deals with Nominal forms, both native and borrowed. Chapter Three deals with adjectival forms including borrowed ones. Chapter Pour deals with verbal forms of native origin. Chapter Five deals with pronominal forms Chapter Six deals with concord patterns which have been referred to in different Chapters. Indeclinable forms are also briefly mentioned in the Chapters where necessary.
title: A phonetic and phonological study of the nominal piece in Adangme.
Creators: name: Apronti, Eric Ofoe
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1967

description: Chapter 1 provides a background of the Adangme-speaking area, reviews previous linguistic work on Adangme and defines the scope of the present study. Chapters 2 and 3 are concerned with the grammatical description of the Nominal Please the former deals with a definition of the Nominal Piece and with the word-classes of which the Nominal Place is composed; the latter describes the relevance of the Categories of Person and of Number to the Nominal Piece, Chapter 4 presents a detailed description of the vowel and consonant sounds of Adangme, The description draws as well on kinaesthetic evidence as on the following Instrumental data, all of which contribute an additional dimension to the phonetic description: palatograms, kymograms and spectrograms. The rest of the thesis (namely Chapters 5, 6 and7) describes the phonology of the Nominal Piece. Chapter 5 provides a prosodic analysis of the syllabic structure of Adangme and reviews some loanwords in Adangme. In Chapter 6 Is presented a prosodic statement on nasalization in various nominal constructions. Finally and by reference to tonograns of selected utterances. Chapter 7 deals with Pitch, Tone and Intonation in words of varying syllabic types, in certain grammatically-delimited Nominal Piece types, and in Sentences comprising a Nominal Piece and a Verbal Piece. A biblography of works quoted and of some of the works consulted appears at the end.
title: Trends in and progress of Pakistan's exports to the U.K. and the European Economic Community, 1951-70.
Creators: name: Vaince, Z.afar Ahamd

description: Western Europe accounts for more than 40% of Pakistan's export trade. It is therefore natural that Pakistan should watch the movement towards economic and political integration in Western Europe closely. However, Pakistan businessmen have projected a frightful picture of impending trade disruption and gloomy export prospects. But there has really been no systematic attempt in Pakistan to assess the real size of the country's problems in the context of the integration moves in Europe. The present work tries to fill this gap and its purpose is to assess the implications of the E.E.C. for the export trade of Pakistan and export prospects for 1965-70.;The whole study has been divided into three parts. In part one an attempt is made to find out the casual factors at work that can reasonably explain the past trends in the export trade of Pakistan. Part II of this study is devoted to the analysis of Pakistan's major exports to the U.K. and the E.E.C. during 1951-63. Our analysis shows that the establishment of the E.E.C. has not seriously adversely affected Pakistan's exports; and that Pakistan's exports of major primary products to this area declined primarily due to production and export policies of Pakistan. The association of certain African countries with the E.E.C. has also created no serious challenge for Pakistan's exports. However due to high tariffs or other restrictions, Pakistan's exports of manufactured goods to the have not increased significantly.;The third part of this study is devoted to analysis of prospects of Pakistan's exports to the U.K. and the E.E.C. during 1965-70. And it shows that any significant increase in Pakistan's exports to these areas is not possible. This is because the third Five Tear Plan of Pakistan has projected substantial increase in exports of items like jute manufactures, fish, rice and minor manufactured or semimanufactured goods. And exports of such items to the U.K. and the E.E.C. countries is insignificant and even a hundred per cent increase in exports of these items to the U.K. and the E.E.C. during 1965-70 would not substantially affect Pakistan's total foreign exchange earnings from these countries.;Finally it is observed that the U.K.'s entry into the Common Market would adversely affect Pakistan's exports of manufactured goods to this country which at present is an important market for Pakistan's exports of manufactured goods.
title: The consolidation of the Central Authority in Afghanistan under Amir 'Abd al-Rahman, 1880-1896.
Creators: name: Kakar, M. Hasan
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1968

description: The subject of this thesis is the establishment and consolidation of the power of Amir 'Abd al-Rahman in Afghanistan between 1880 and 1896.;'Abd al-Rahman reappeared in Afghanistan from exile in Russian Turkistan at a critical time when the British were considering how to establish a government satisfactory to their interest, in Kabul. 'Abd al-Rahman showed skill in obtaining both the support of anti-British groups (who were committed to the former ruling family) and the British themselves. At first, he obtained only the reduced state of Kabul, the British being determined to retain control of the province of Kandahar. Later, following the defeat of their army in Kandahar, the British reversed their former policy and evacuated Kandahar which passed to 'Abd al-Rahman. Subsequently, 'Abd al-Rahman succeeded in expelling Mohammad Ayub (a brother of the former Amir) from Herat and thus establishing his rule over the whole of Afghanistan, (chapters 2 and 3).;'Abd al-Rahman then extended and consolidated his rule over the provinces at the expense of the authority of the tribal elders and dynastic governors. This led to conflict between him and the elders, who aroused the tribes against him. The several disturbances which ensued are described. They were all ultimately suppressed (chapters 4, 5 and 6). Further, the Amir brought under control the territories of the Hazarajat and Kafiristan (chapters 7 and 8). At the same time, the Government of India contained the extension of the Amir's authority into the territories beyond the frontiers which the Government of India was largely instrumental in establishing for Afghanistan during the reign of 'Abd al-Rahman.
title: An edition of the works of the minor Madinese poets to the end of the Umayyad Period, with a critical introduction.
Creators: name: Bajouda, Hassan Muhammad
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1968

description: After the discussion of its frontiers, history and social structure, the importance of Madina as a birth-place of poets was discussed. A definition of the term "Madinese poet" was attempted, A division of sources into groups was followed by a discussion of the poems, a description of the manuscripts and their alphabetical arrangement. It was necessary to justify the method of reconstruction of poems from fragments so that they can but need not be read as whole poems. A solution to the problem arising from the similarity of poet's names was proferred. Words and lines were interpreted, but the wording of the text was respected throughout. Any change or omission was referred to. The anthology was divided historically, into fire parts, and provided with a list of poets yet unknown as well as one of the poetry ascribed to unknown poets.;Finally, an attempt was made to show how Madina was reflected in its pre-lslamic and Islamic poetry, with themes such as heroism and the fertiliity of Madina predominating. Taking Ibn Rawaha as a representative, it was demonstrated how Islam in its early days influenced poetry. It was also shown how melody induced erotic poets to use simple words, short metres, and to limit the number of lines in a poem. Reference was made to three Umayyad trends: wine, Shu'ubiyya and travel, stating that Ibn Harma described nomadic rather than settled life.
title: The political organisation of the Urhobos of the Midwestern State of Nigeria.
Creators: name: Otite, Kingsley John Onigu
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1969

description: This thesis is a sociological analysis of continuity and change in the political organisation of Okpe, an Urhobo tribe, in the Midwestern State of Nigeria. The discussion is presented in nine chapters. The first introduces Okpe tribe by a brief account of its history, territory, kinship grouping, religion and economy. Chapter Two deals with Okpe political structure showing how power and authority are affected by the age organisation, personal efficiency, the chieftaincy institution and kinship. Recruitment to positions of power in these four fields is discussed. Against this background, Chapter Three deals with Okpe governmental processes at two levels; that of the town and that of the tribe as a whole prior to the establishment of effective British rule in about 1890. Chapters Four and Five are concerned with the impact of British rule on Okpe which, like other tribes, lost its political sovereignty in the process. Chapter Five also discusses some of the problems encountered in the revival of Okpe kingship in the 1940s. It further describes briefly some of the statutory changes and the constitutional development of Nigeria before independence in 1960. Chapter Six highlights some aspects of Okpe cultural behaviour which are currently manipulated in order to maintain tribal exclusiveness within the new state. Chapter Seven shows, on the other hand, that Okpe tribe is an integral part of the Midwestern State of Nigeria. This situation results in two types or arenas of politics: the politics of the tribe and that of the new state. In many cases, these two types of politics have opposite effects on the political organisation of the tribe. But the new state government and politics tend more and more to involve the tribal government and politics. Chapter Eight shows that recruitment to the top political positions in the tribe is now statutory and can be done only with the approval of the Government of the Midwestern State of Nigeria. The thesis is concluded in Chapter Nine by a brief discussion of its theoretical implications.

title: The Northern Hijaz in the writings of the Arab geographers, 800-1150.
Creators: name: Al-Wohaibi, Abdullah
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1969

description: This thesis is divided into three parts. Part One summarises the description of individual localities in the Northern Hijaz as presented in the writings of the Arab geographers in the period 800-1150. Since it is not practicable to include all the information they proffer on all localities of this region, a representative selection of places is given, arranged alphabetically, each entry containing a synopsis of the data supplied by the Arab geographers of this period. This part of the thesis is essentially informative except when, in order to eliminate contradictions, it has been necessary to examine the evidence thoroughly and refer to authors of later periods. Under Qura 'Arabiyyah and Nakhlah where there is great confusion, a few paragraph - are added to elaborate the conclusions to be drawn from the investigation. The second part is devoted wholly to the pilgrim routes in the Northern Hijaz as described by the Arab geographers. The tables of the routes frequented by the Iraqis are based on the original mileages as recorded by the geographers. In this part, fewer authors outside the period have to be consulted; when they are, it is usually in connection with the pilgrimage rites and administration. The third and last part consists of a general survey of the information supplied by the Arab geographers of the period on the Northern Hijaz, and deals with sources, quotations, mis-quotations and borrowings as well as attempts at the authentication of works of disputed authorship. It also discusses the characteristics of these geographers, geographic poetry, the rise and decline of towns and villages, and the dependencies of Medina and Mecca. Discussion of the two cities of Mecca and Medina has been excluded from this thesis.
title: A study of the "Ananthamukhanirharadharani Sutra," karika, and tika with an edition and translation of the Tibetan texts.
Creators: name: Inagaki, Hisao
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1968

description: The Anantamukhanirharadharapi Sutra is a Mahayana text which contains Tantric doctrine. The sutra now exists in its complete form in Tibetan and Chinese translations. Besides, Sanskrit and Khotanese fragments of the sutra are available. Jnanagarbha, an Indian scholar of probably the eighth century belonging to the Yogacara-Madhyamika School, composed a kari-ka and tika on this sutra, which now only exist in their Tibetan translation. The aim of the present thesis is to bring to light these texts and reveal the doctrine contained in them. The thesis is divided into three parts. The first part is an introduction. After introductory remarks with critical notes have been made on the various texts and manuscripts of the sutra in chapter 1, the contents of the various texts of the sutra are compared in chapter 2. Then, Jnanagarbha's life, school of thought, and works are discussed in chapter 3, and in chapter 4 the salient features of his doctrine as seen in the tika are clarified in their relationships with general Buddhist ideologies. The second part is a translation of the Tibetan texts. In accordance with Jnanagarbha's division, the sutra is divided into nineteen chapters. In the translation, each chapter of the sutra is followed by the corresponding part of the tika. Important words and ideas are explained and necessary references are supplied in the footnote. The third part is an edition of the Tibetan texts, which are arranged so as to correspond to the translation. Variants in different editions are given in the footnote. The appendix contains a synopsis of the tika and supplementary tables and notes.

description: Accurately simulating non-Markovian quantum dynamics in system-bath coupled problems remains challenging. In this work, we present a novel memory truncation scheme for the iterative Quasi-Adiabatic Propagator Path Integral (iQuAPI) method to improve accuracy. Conventional memory truncation in iQuAPI discards all influence functional beyond a certain time interval, which is not effective for problems with a long memory time. Our proposed scheme selectively retains the most significant parts of the influence functional using the density matrix renormalization group algorithm. We validate the effectiveness of our scheme through simulations of the spin-boson model across various parameter sets, demonstrating faster convergence and improved accuracy compared to the conventional scheme. Our findings suggest that the new memory truncation scheme significantly advances the capabilities of iQuAPI for problems with a long memory time.
