Year: 1930

description: The Kapisthala-Katha-Samhita, a Vedic text of the Black Yajurveda, is presented here for the first time. All the differences between this and the Kathaka- Samhita have been noted, and a comparison made with allied ritual literature ranging from Rgveda to the Srautasutras. A large number of corrections and emendations in Schroeder's text of kath have also been suggested. The introduction deals with the ms. material, its grammatical peculiarities, the original home of the followers of this school, the relative date of the composition of the text, the additions and omissions as compared with Kath. And the relation to Rgveda. of the existence of a Kapisthala version of the Kath. Brahmana Preserved by the Taittiriyas, nothing was known till now. The fragment, as found in our ms, is given on pages 30-32.

description: This study investigates the possibility of increasing the radiation efficiency of printed antennas and arrays by suppressing their inherent surface waves using a metasurface made of quad-split rings (QSR). A symmetrical resonant microstrip dipole and a four-element series-fed dipole array printed on an infinite grounded dielectric layer (layer thickness: 0.2 mm; relative permittivity: 9.4; tan delta: 0.0005) were simulated with FEKO 2022 software. Conducted at 100-116 GHz, the numerical results revealed extremely low radiation efficiencies of approximately 31% and 40% for the studied dipole and dipole array, respectively, which resulted from the presence of surface waves in the dielectric. However, placing only one QSR near each dipole arm triggered an increase in radiation efficiency by 2.5 times (up to 75%). The use of a metasurface in the form of two small QSR arrays triggered a pronounced improvement in radiation efficiency, reaching 93.6% and 96.5% for the studied dipole and dipole array, respectively. Analysis of the electric field distribution images showed that this enhancement resulted from surface wave suppression.

description: Metal halide perovskites (MHPs) have demonstrated great advances for photovoltaic and optoelectronic applications. However, owing to the presence of the synergy from lattice strain, defects of MHPs, and environment, MHPs suffer from phase transitions and degradation, resulting in the restriction of their practical applications and further commercialization. Multiple metal elements can coexist in MHPs to form alloys due to the high tolerance of lattice and the composition replaceability, which provides a novel strategy for improvement of performance and stability. In this review, the recent advances of alloy engineering of MHPs, focusing on the cation and the metal ion (A- and B-site) alloy strategies, are reviewed. The alloy effects on the crystalline structure, optoelectronic properties, ferroelectricity, carrier dynamics, and stability of perovskites are interpreted. Finally, the prospect of this study is the challenges in the MHPs alloy engineering.

title: Critical Studies in the Phonetic Observations of Indian Grammarians.
Creators: name: Varma, Siddheshwar
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1927

description: The treatise is an attempt, for the first time in a modern language, to give a general conspectus of Indian phonetic literature. The introduction (pp. 1-91) gives a chronological survey of Indian works on phonetics, 55 of which have been examined (cf. p.49). of these, 16 are absolutely new, being MS works. The main body of the treatise (pp. 92-306) is a critical examination of some of the phonetic opinions expressed in Indian phonetic literature and in the works of Panini, Patanjali etc. The treatise consists of eleven chapters (for detailed plan of these chapters see pp. 30-32). Of these, the first four deal with the ayllabication of sound-groups. Chap. V. examines the opinions of doubling. Chap. VI. On the pronunciation of Y and V in different positions. Chap. VII. On svarabhakti and its bearing on the deilects. Chap. VIII. Examines the fundamental basis of the Indian theory of syllabication, viz. Abhinidhana or incomplete articulation. Chap. IX. Deals with nasalization a striking fact in the living languages. Chap. X. discusses the opinions on the nature of accent. Chap. XI. Describes the various views on quantity. It has been shown that these opinions were on the whole sound, and that some of them may be helpful to modern linguistics (cf. pp. 32-33).

description: In this study, multi-temporal satellite images combined with rainfall data and field observations were used to assess the spatial and temporal changes in urban flooding and urban water harvesting potential in the coastal city of Sharjah, United Arab Emirates (UAE) during the period from 1976 to 2016. During the study period, the population increased by approximately 14-fold with about a 4-fold increase in built areas. Being in a hot, dry region with average rainfall of about 100 mm/year, the city did not invest in a comprehensive drainage infrastructure. As a result, the frequency, extent and risk associated with urban floods increased significantly. The expansion of built areas progressively increased the impervious land cover in the city, decreasing the minimum precipitation required to generate runoff by approximately 32% and significantly increasing the runoff coefficient. In parallel to rapid urbanization, the urban rainwater harvesting potential significantly increased over 1976–2016. Urban flood maps were generated using three thematic factors: excess rain, land elevation and land slope. The flood maps were confirmed by locating urban flood locations in the field using GPS. This study demonstrates the impact of urbanization through assessing the relationship between urbanization, runoff, local floods and rainwater harvesting potential in Sharjah and provides a basis for developing sustainable urban storm water management practices for the city and similar cities.
title: History of Kanauj, to the Moslem Conquest.
Creators: name: Tripathi, Rama Shankar
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1929

description: Kanauj was founded prior to the Christian era, but it first rose to importance in the sixth century A.D., when it became the capital of the Maukharis. Under Isanavarman and Sarvavarman this dynasty rapidly grew to power, which brought them into conflict with the Later Guptas. The effects of the struggle were far-reaching, for it ended in transferring the centre of political gravity from Magadha to Kanauj. In the beginning of the seventh century however, circumstances so conspired that Harsha of Thanesvar had to assume control of affairs in Kanauj. It is usually asserted that Harsha extended his suzerainty throughout Northern India, but in our opinion his dominions comprised only parts of Eastern Panjab, almost the whole of United Provinces, Magadha, Orissa and Bengal. An attempt has also been made here to show what were Harsha's achievements of peace, and how he governed the kingdom. Harsha's death plunged Kanauj into anarchy and darkness that lasted for about half a century, till the appearance of Yasovarman, after certain preliminary successes, he was ultimately reduced to subservience by Lalitaditya of Kashmir. The next rulers of note were the Pratiharas, whose power reached its zenith during the time of Bhoja I and Mahendrapala. As a result of their protracted campaigns the empire of kanauj grew to enormous dimensions, comprising territories as widely apart as Surashtra, Magadha, Gorakhpur district, Ujjain, Karnal district, Bundelkhand and Rajputana. The interesting feature of this epoch is the tripartite struggle that continued intermittently between the Pratiharas, the Palas, and the Rashtrakutas. Later on, the prosperity of Kanauj received a rude shock from the arms of Mahmud, but it partially revived its glories under the Gahadavalas, who, like previous rulers, regained control of the lower course of the Ganges by Govindachandra's conquest of Magadha Eventually Shihab ud-Din involved the contemporary Hindu states in one common ruin, and thus Kanauj fell from its high position.
Enhanced observable estimation through classical optimization of informationally over-complete measurement data -- beyond classical shadows

description: In recent years, informationally complete measurements have attracted considerable attention, especially in the context of classical shadows. In the particular case of informationally over-complete measurements, for which the number of possible outcomes exceeds the dimension of the space of linear operators in Hilbert space, the dual POVM operators used to interpret the measurement outcomes are not uniquely defined. In this work, we propose a method to optimize the dual operators after the measurements have been carried out in order to produce sharper, unbiased estimations of observables of interest. We discuss how this procedure can produce zero-variance estimations in cases where the classical shadows formalism, which relies on so-called canonical duals, incurs exponentially large measurement overheads. We also analyze the algorithm in the context of quantum simulation with randomized Pauli measurements, and show that it can significantly reduce statistical errors with respect to canonical duals on multiple observable estimations.

description: We introduce twisted unitary $t$-groups, a generalization of unitary $t$-groups under a twisting by an irreducible representation. We then apply representation theoretic methods to the Knill-Laflamme error correction conditions to show that twisted unitary $t$-groups automatically correspond to quantum codes with distance $d=t+1$. By construction these codes have many transversal gates, which naturally do not spread errors and thus are useful for fault tolerance.

title: Neo-Sufism in Modern Arabic Poetry, 1960-2005: A Study in the Poetry of 'Abd al-Wahhab al-Bayyati, Salah 'Abd al-Sabur and Adonis.
Creators: name: Howarth, James
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 2005

description: This thesis brings a contemporary critical approach to the use of Sufism in Arabic poetry after 1960, focusing on three major poets, 'Abd al-Wahhab al-Bayyati, Salah 'Abd al-Sabur and Adonis. Using appropriate theoretical approaches, the objective is to make a significant contribution to the development of a post-Orientalist, interdisciplinary understanding of the Middle East's cultural and psychological environment. It investigates the proposition that these poets have attempted to synthesize radical social and political beliefs with aspects of their spiritual and cultural heritage in order to create a visionary new conception not only of Arabic poetry but Arab civilization as a whole. The cultural institution of poetry - 'register of the Arabs' - has a unique spiritual and revolutionary power in a historically aniconic society in which it has been for centuries the dominant artform, enabling sensitive insight into the modern Arab existence. On the basis of an initial investigation of the artistic, philosophical and socio-political aspects of Sufism, as well its relation to modern European thought, the thesis examines how committed modernist Arab poetry shifted towards a 'neo-Sufi' paradigm, reviving Sufi concepts, principles and historical figures. As such, the project focuses on the extrinsic ramifications of these poets' neo-Sufi experiences, analysing what role Sufi ideas play in modern Arabic thought within the sphere of autocratic state ideologies and local and regional political struggles. Consequently, it considers how neo-Sufism relates to the development of a uniquely Arab postmodern condition, and how the relationship between Arabic poetry and political commitment evolved since 1960. The thesis contemplates the Arab poet both as individual and as social being, in a world where profound senses of identity confront the need for change. By investigating the constantly evolving interaction between creative, individualistic instincts and external social reality in the contexts of Arab nationalism, the Palestine question, Communism, political Islam, Western hegemony and globalisation, it aims to illuminate the predicament of the later 20th century Arab intellectual on specific and universal levels.

description: $Λ$CDM tensions are by definition model dependent; one sees anomalies through the prism of $Λ$CDM. Thus, progress towards tension resolution necessitates checking the consistency of the $Λ$CDM model to localise missing physics either in redshift or scale. Since the Universe is dynamical and redshift is a proxy for time, it is imperative to first perform consistency checks involving redshift, then consistency checks involving scale, as the next steps to settle the ``systematics versus new physics" debate and foster informed model building. We present a review of the hierarchy of assumptions underlying the $Λ$CDM cosmological model and comment on whether relaxing them can address the tensions. We focus on the lowest lying fruit of identifying missing physics through the identification of redshift dependent $Λ$CDM model fitting parameters. We highlight recent progress made on ${S_8:= σ_8 \sqrt{Ω_{\rm m}/0.3}}$ tension and elucidate how similar progress can be made on $H_0$ tension. Our discussions indicate that $H_0$ tension, equivalently a redshift dependent $H_0$, and a redshift dependent $S_8$ imply a problem with background $Λ$CDM cosmology.

title: The Interaction of Tone With Voicing and Foot Structure: Evidence From Kera Phonetics and Phonology.
Creators: name: Pearce, Mary Dorothy
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 2007

description: This thesis uses acoustic measurements as a basis for the phonological analysis of the interaction of tone with voicing and foot structure in Kera (a Chadic language). In both tone spreading and vowel harmony, the iambic foot acts as a domain for spreading. Further evidence for the foot comes from measurements of duration, intensity and vowel quality. Kera is unusual in combining a tone system with a partially independent metrical system based on iambs. In words containing more than one foot, the foot is the tone bearing unit (TBU), but in shorter words, the TBU is the syllable. In perception and production experiments, results show that Kera speakers, unlike English and French, use the fundamental frequency as the principle cue to "voicing" contrast. Voice onset time (VOT) has only a minor role. Historically, tones probably developed from voicing through a process of tonogenesis, but synchronically, the feature [voice] is no longer contrastive and VOT is used in an enhancing role. Some linguists have claimed that Kera is a key example for their controversial theory of long-distance voicing spread. But as [voice] is not part of Kera phonology, this thesis gives counter-evidence to the voice spreading claim. An important finding from the experiments is that the phonological grammars are different between village women, men moving to town and town men. These differences are attributed to French contact. The interaction between Kera tone and voicing and contact with French have produced changes from a 2-way voicing contrast, through a 3-way tonal contrast, to a 2-way voicing contrast plus another contrast with short VOT. These diachronic and synchronic tone/voicing facts are analysed using laryngeal features and Optimality theory. This thesis provides a body of new data, detailed acoustic measurements, and an analysis incorporating current theoretical issues in phonology, which make it of interest to Africanists and theoreticians alike.
title: A Descriptive Grammar of Daai Chin.

Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 2008

description: Daai Chin belongs to the Southern branch of the Kuki-Naga section of the Tibeto-Burman language family. It is spoken by approximately 45,000 people in the townships of Mindat, Kanpetlet, Paletwa and Matupi in the Southern Chin Hills of western Myanmar. The Daai Chin people live in a cluster of about 160 villages in the rather isolated interior of the Southern Chin Hills. This study is based on a dialect of Daai called 'Yang', spoken in Kanpetlet Township. This thesis is the first comprehensive grammatical description of Daai Chin. All analysis is presented by ample language examples. The study is divided into thirteen chapters and addresses all major aspects of the language. A short introduction into Daai phonology is included which mainly gives an account of segmental phonology. The discussion of morphology deals mainly with derivational morphology and compounding. At the phrase level, the order and function of constituents within the noun phrase is described. Complex noun phrases including nominalization and relativization are also discussed. Extensive coverage is given to the study and description of the verb complex and the many various particles and markers that can follow the main verb. This includes the description of valence changing categories, the tense-aspect-modality system, applicatives, evidentiality, directionals and other markers. Special features of the Daai Chin language like verb stem alternation and the agreement system are also described in detail. At the clause level, various clause types are described: grammatical relations are discussed and degrees of transitivity are shown. Sentence moods and non-declarative speech acts are described. This study of the Daai Chin language concludes with the treatment of complex sentence structures, addresses complementation, adverbial clauses and clause chaining. The appendix contains a fully interlinearized folktale with a free translation.

description: Multiphoton microscopes employ femtosecond lasers as light sources because the high peak power of the ultrashort pulse allows for multiphoton excitation of fluorescence in the examined sample. However, such short pulses are susceptible to broadening in a microscope's highly dispersive optical elements and require careful dispersion management, otherwise decreasing excitation efficiency. Here, we have developed a 10 nJ Yb:fiber picosecond laser with an integrated pulse picker unit and evaluated its performance in multiphoton microscopy. Our results show that performance comparable to femtosecond pulses can be obtained with picosecond pulses only by reducing the pulse repetition rate and that such pulses are significantly less prone to the effect of chromatic dispersion. These findings proved that the temporal compression of fiber lasers is not always efficient, and it can be omitted by using a smaller and easier-to-use all-fiber setup.

title: Personal Liberty and the Law in the New Commonwealth: A Comparative Survey.
Creators: name: Singh, Thir Narayan
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1978

description: The structural scheme of this study may be briefly explained as follows: Part I: Foundations of Personal Liberty: This part contains the Introduction and Chapter 1. The special features of the methodology of this study - the introduction of what you have called "Value jurisprudence" - has been explained with necessary particulars in the Introduction to lay the "foundations" of personal liberty. In Chapter 1 are revealed the several aspects of the "foundations" of the social and political aims and attitudes, ancient and modern, Western, Asian and African, and the embryonic, as well as the fully developed forms of Human Rights Jurisprudence manifested respectively in some important constitutional landmarks of the Eastern political system and in the International Legal System. Part II: Invasions of Personal Liberty: "Social-Security": Chapter 2 covers this part and it deals with the norms of "restraints" and "protection" associated with the concept of "Social Security", namely the protection of society. Section I deals with the "Power of Arrest" (Common Law as well as Statutory): Section II with "Preventive Justice", which includes powers to bind over and anti-recidivist measures. Part III: Invasions of Personal Liberty: "State-Security": This Part embraces Chapters 3 to 8, all dealing with "emergency provisions" - the norms of "restraints" and "protections" associated with the concept of "State Security". Chapter 3 deals with the Common Law provisions for "Necessity" and "Martial Law". In Chapter 4 are discussed the emergency legislation relating to the "Defence of the Realm" in the United Kingdom and also the relevant legislation dealing with the "Northern Ireland problem". In Chapters 5 to 8 the treatment of the topic is extended to important areas of New Commonwealth. In all cases relevant case-law is discussed in separate sections and in the New Commonwealth context, the relevant constitutional provisions are also discussed in addition to statutory provisions. Part IV: Prospects for Personal Liberty: Conclusions: In Chapter 9 Which forms this Part the prospects for personal liberty are assessed with reference to the twin aspects of the concepts - "value" and "legal" - to emphasize the operation of the "Value jurisprudence", and a plea is made for the introduction in all national legal systems of an element of "humanitarianism" to link the twin concepts to improve the prospects for personal liberty.
title: The Extension of British Influence in and Around the Gulf of Aden, 1865-1905.

description: In 1865, Aden was an insecure, undervalued, Indian outpost. Non-intervention in Yemeni affairs was official policy. British influence inland was non-existent; and in the Gulf of Aden it was declining. By 1905 Aden was a major Imperial base, an international trading, shipping and telegraphic centre; and its population had doubled, Britain dominated the Gulf of Aden. In 1866-67 Resident W. Merewether disregarded official policy and destroyed Fadhli tribal power. This benefitted Aden and the Abdali chiefs. The Abdalis expanded their territory and influence, as British client Britain purchased the Little Aden peninsula; and, when the Ottoman reoccupation of Yemen threatened the Abdalis, British pressure enforced an Ottoman withdrawals Strategic British requirements dictated the acquisition of more Abdali territory, in 1882, and agreements with Arabian coastal chiefs, between 1876 and 1888. By the acquisition of British Somaliland (1884-88) foreign bases were virtually excluded from the Gulf of Aden. Official British policy in the Yemen interior from 1886 vas to allow the reoccupation of the 'Amiri' area by the Ottomans, but successive Residents supported the Amir against Ottoman pressure. During the Boundary Commission (1902 - 1905), Aden officials circumvented their conciliatory India Office instructions, and with Lord Curzon's support and the Ambassador's co-operation at Constantinople, the Cabinet was bamboozled into an expansionist policy. The Ottomans were bullied into surrendering territory, British expansion, notably between 1865 and 1888, was a triumph of character by the limited Residency staff over adverse circumstances, with occasional timely naval visits. It owed much to three Britons and one Persian-Arab. The acquisition of Somaliland was the personal achievement of Major F. M. Hunter.

description: We present a loop-based optical processor enabling time-domain programmable beam-splitter (BS) operations for a phase-sensitive non-Gaussian state. The loop itself is of high quality, allowing for storage of a non-Gaussian state for up to seven round trips while preserving its Wigner negativity and phase coherence. We perform various BS operations on a non-Gaussian state and evaluate them as transformations of the state's waveforms. Our work integrates non-Gaussian states with time multiplexing, laying the foundation for large-scale universal quantum information processing.

title: Production Relations and the Patterns of Accumulation in the Context of a Stalled Transition: Agrarian Change in Contemporary Central Bihar (India).
Creators: name: Wilson, Rosalind Kalpana
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1999

description: My thesis examines the series of changes which have occurred in the patterns of accumulation by cultivating landowning groups in Central Bihar from the early 1970s to the mid-1990s, and the specific impact upon production relations of sustained struggles waged by agricultural labourers. Based primarily on fieldwork carried out in 1995-96 in Nalanda district of Bihar, it investigates changes in the structure of landholdings, the use of technology, the forms, conditions, and extent of agricultural labour and other interrelated variables. I conclude that conditions in the 1970s in this area, which is dominated by cultivating landowners from the intermediate Kurmi caste, indicated a potential for a transition to capitalism based on rich peasant accumulation. However this development has essentially come to a standstill during the period from the early 1980s to the present. This 'stalling' is traced to the failure of land reforms and the persistence of a highly skewed pattern of resource endowment which has meant that unproductive economic activities such as moneylending, the sale and hire of agricultural inputs to the growing section of small and marginal cultivators, and more recently, contracting and organised crime have remained more profitable than investment in agricultural production. Further, State power, rooted as it is in this same agrarian structure, has been used by successive landed groups to appropriate development resources through institutionalised corruption. This is intensifying a crisis in the availability of key inputs and the virtual collapse of the infrastructure. The initial spurt of capital accumulation among larger landowners employing wage labour provided the catalyst for the emergence in the late 1970s of an organised movement of agricultural labourers, the majority of whom were from 'dalit' castes. I discuss the questions of class, caste and gender which have shaped this movement, and conclude that it has succeeded in effecting a number of significant changes in production relations which have occurred from the early 1980s onwards. Finally, I place the changing phenomenon of private armies and criminal gangs associated with landowning groups in this context of a stalled transition to capitalist agriculture on the one hand, and a challenge from below to both the economic as well as the political bases of the power of the dominant classes on the other.
title: The Demise of the Jewish Community in Afghanistan, 1933-1952.

description: This thesis examines the demise of the Jewish community in Afghanistan. In the early 1930s, an influx of Soviet refugees was a source of great concern for the Afghan government. Bukharan Jewish refugees were considered very dangerous, and potential Soviet agents. Afghan suspicion then extended to the local Jewish population. Security considerations were linked to the economic sector, and a series of discriminatory regulations were enacted against the entire Jewish community. Jews were forbidden from engaging in trade, and had to reside in Herat, Kabul or Kandahar. These policies caused impoverishment and an internal refugee crisis. The Afghan government based its plan for economic development on a monopolisation system, and much of the discrimination that the Jewish community faced was directed through the Ministry of National Economy and the Afghan National Bank. This strategy was adopted ostensibly as a way to limit Soviet influence in Afghanistan, and benefltted the Pashtun majority. Historiographically, the most contentious debate centres on the extent of Nazi influence in Afghanistan. 'Abd al-Majid Khan, the instigator of nativist economic policies, was also the primary negotiator with Berlin. The Third Reich influenced some aspects of Afghan policy, however it was predominantly indirect and confined to the economic sector. After World War II, the economy plunged, and a famine engulfed the region. When the state of Israel was established, Jews in Afghanistan saw it as a fulfillment of biblical prophecy, and most left as soon as legal emigration was authorized. This work shows that once nationalism appears on the horizon, and the processes of modem development begin, the condition of a very small, easily distinguishable, specialized group is endangered. It also examines the rich congruities between the political and economic history of Afghanistan and one of its smallest minorities.

title: 'We Nepalis': Language, Literature and the Formation of a Nepali Public Sphere in India, 1914-1940.
Creators: name: Chalmers, Rhoderick Alasdair Macdonald
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 2003

description: This thesis examines the processes which led to the emergence and development of a form of Nepali public sphere in India in the early twentieth century. It proposes that an analysis of the rational-critical modes of discourse adopted by this sphere, and their extension into areas of social, cultural and political institutionalisation offers the best way of understanding the formulation of a modern Nepali identity which has proved persuasive to this day. The central chapters focus on the way in which popular publishing built up both a large readership and the infrastructure which was adopted by more discursive journals; the contours, complexities and contradictions of the dominant rhetoric of social progress which they fuelled and propagated; the way in which rhetoric was incarnated in various organisations and social structures, and the extent to which social mobility allowed power relations to be redrawn while other paradigms of exclusion continued to delimit participation in public life; finally, it offers an assessment of the summation of these processes insofar as they contributed to the development of a clearly articulated, self-aware, and delimited sense of Nepali social consciousness and community belonging. This thesis is based on materials that have been almost entirely ignored by previous historical or literary studies, primarily published Nepali journals and books. It challenges many of the presumptions which underlie traditional approaches to the areas studied and offers specific critiques of a number of influential theorisations of Nepali history and society. At the heart of its analysis is a commitment to understanding the intellectual processes of community conceptualisation and rationalisation as they were experienced and expressed by Nepalis themselves in the period in question. This also entails a detailed dissection of issues of power and authority, of tendencies towards both contestation and the development of normative understandings, and, throughout, of the role of language in enabling and mediating these processes.
Radial halo substructure in harmony with the Galactic bar

description: Overdensities in the radial phase space $(r,v_r)$ of the Milky Way's halo have previously been associated with the phase-mixed debris of a highly radial merger event, such as Gaia Sausage-Enceladus. We present and test an alternative theory in which the overdense 'chevrons' are instead composed of stars trapped in resonances with the Galactic bar. We develop an analytic model of resonant orbits in the isochrone potential, and complement this with a test particle simulation of a stellar halo in a realistic barred Milky Way potential. These models are used to predict the appearance of action space $(J_ϕ,J_r)$ and radial phase space in the Solar neighbourhood. They are able to reproduce almost all salient features of the observed chevrons. In particular, both the analytic model and simulation predict that the chevrons are more prominent at $v_r<0$ when viewed near the Sun, as is observed by Gaia. This is inconsistent with formation by an ancient merger event. We also associate individual chevrons with specific resonances. At a bar pattern speed of $Ω_\mathrm{b}=35$ km s$^{-1}$kpc$^{-1}$, the two most prominent prograde chevrons align very closely with the corotation and outer Lindblad resonances. The former can be viewed as a highly eccentric extension of the Hercules stream. Finally, our model predicts that the $v_r$ asymmetry changes sign as a function of Galactic radius and azimuth, and we find evidence that this is indeed the case in the Milky Way.

title: The Temples of King Rajendravarman: Tenth Century Architecture at Angkor.
Creators: name: Haendel, Alexandra
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 2004

description: The thesis is a detailed analysis of the two main temples of King Rajendravarman, consecrated in the mid-tenth century, focusing on their architecture and epigraphy. The background to this study is Philippe Stern's classification of Angkorean temples into ancestor and state temples, which is examined critically. Chapter 2 provides the general background, introducing the Indian religions, both theoretically and as practised in Cambodia. Brahmanical Temple Architecture is briefly presented, followed by a detailed description of the East Mebon and Pre Rup. The methodological background is given in chapter 3. The development of Cambodian studies is examined, most importantly the theories of Ph. Stern. Subsequently, the methodologies utilised for this study are introduced. Chapter 4 analyses in depth the architectural features of the individual buildings within the temple complexes, which has not been done up to now, and formulates an internal building sequence. This is completed in chapter 7 by the application of general architectural theory and the regulations given in the Indian sastras to suggest the function of the individual buildings. In chapter 5 the foundation inscriptions of the two temples are analysed. First a general introduction to the Sanskrit epigraphy of Kambujadesa is given, presenting the most important religious concepts expressed in the inscriptions. The main part of the chapter deals with the three main inscriptions of King Rajendravarman. The analysis of the texts comprises the study of the religious ideas expressed, and of the information regarding the temples themselves contained in the texts. This analysis is refined in chapter 6 to examine whether the images mentioned in the inscriptions were founded, and where they were placed. Overall it is argued that the East Mebon and Pre Rup are part of one building programme, to legitimise King Rajedravarman and secure his spiritual and political position. Due to their fundamental similarities it is not warranted to classify them in two separate categories of temples. The necessity for detailed studies is stressed, instead of attempting to impose preconceived categories on them.
