description: Low-redshift strong-lensing galaxies can provide robust measurements of the stellar mass-to-light ratios in early-type galaxies (ETG), and hence constrain variations in the stellar initial mass function (IMF). At present, only a few such systems are known. Here, we report the first results from a blind search for gravitationally-lensed emission line sources behind 52 massive $z$ $

description: The theory of lithopanspermia proposes the natural exchange of organisms between solar system bodies through meteorites. The focus of this theory comprises three distinct stages: planetary ejection, interplanetary transit and planetary entry. However, it is debatable whether organisms transported within the ejecta can survive all three stages. If the conjecture is granted, that life can indeed be safely transmitted from one world to another, then it is not only a topic pertaining to planetary science but also biological sciences. Hence, these stages are only the first three factors of the equation. The other factors for successful lithopanspermia are the quality, quantity and evolutionary strategy of the transmitted organisms. When expanding into new environments, invading organisms often do not survive in the first attempt and usually require several attempts through propagule pressure to obtain a foothold. There is a crucial difference between this terrestrial situation and the one brought about by lithopanspermia. While invasive species on Earth repeatedly enters a new habitat, a species pragmatically arrives on another solar system body only once; thus, an all-or-nothing response will be in effect. The species must survive in the first attempt, which limits the probability of survival. In addition, evolution sets a boundary through the existence of an inverse proportionality between the exchanges of life between two worlds, thus further restricting the probability of survival. However, terrestrial populations often encounter unpredictable and variable environmental conditions, which in turn necessitates an evolutionary response. Thus, one evolutionary mode in particular, bet hedging, is the evolutionary strategy that best smooth out this inverse proportionality.

description: Soil erosion and sedimentation has become one of the major issues in the implementation of EIA projects in Malaysia. Uncontrolled land opening activities exacerbate these soil erosion and sedimentation problems. In this regard the Department of Environment (DOE) Malaysia has begun to implement EIA improvement packages in 2011 with the aim of minimizing the problems of soil erosion and sedimentation from EIA projects which emphasizes on three major areas of the EIA system in Malaysia, namely EIA reports, environmental management plan report (EMP) and the EIA approval conditions. This improvement also attempts to enhance the efficiency of environmental management system in Malaysia by increasing the competency of environmental consultants and project developers. Self-regulation approach was also introduced in the EIA approval conditions. This article discusses the performance of the EIA improvement package after four years of implementation by the DOE. The findings revealed that there were failures among project proponents and environmental consultants to comply with the scopes of EIA improvement packages. It is suggested that further studies should be conducted to identify the problems encountered in the implementation process of the EIA improvement packages to improve future implementation.

description: We study -- using molecular dynamics simulations -- the temperature dependence of the dynamics in a dense short-ranged attractive colloidal glass to find evidence of the kinetic glass-glass transition predicted by the ideal Mode Coupling Theory. According to the theory, the two distinct glasses are stabilized one by excluded volume and the other by short-ranged attractive interactions. By studying the density autocorrelation functions, we discover that the short-ranged attractive glass is unstable. Indeed, activated bond-breaking processes slowly convert the attractive glass into the hard-sphere one, preempting the observation of a sharp glass-glass transition.

description: We derive constraints on the thermal and ionization states of the intergalactic medium (IGM) at redshift $\approx$ 9.1 using new upper limits on the 21-cm power spectrum measured by the LOFAR radio-telescope and a prior on the ionized fraction at that redshift estimated from recent cosmic microwave background (CMB) observations. We have used results from the reionization simulation code GRIZZLY and a Bayesian inference framework to constrain the parameters which describe the physical state of the IGM. We find that, if the gas heating remains negligible, an IGM with ionized fraction $\gtrsim 0.13$ and a distribution of the ionized regions with a characteristic size $\gtrsim 8 ~h^{-1}$ comoving megaparsec (Mpc) and a full width at the half maximum (FWHM) $\gtrsim 16 ~h^{-1}$ Mpc is ruled out. For an IGM with a uniform spin temperature $T_{\rm S} \gtrsim 3$ K, no constraints on the ionized component can be computed. If the large-scale fluctuations of the signal are driven by spin temperature fluctuations, an IGM with a volume fraction $\lesssim 0.34$ of heated regions with a temperature larger than CMB, average gas temperature 7-160 K and a distribution of the heated regions with characteristic size 3.5-70 $h^{-1}$ Mpc and FWHM of $\lesssim 110$ $h^{-1}$ Mpc is ruled out. These constraints are within the 95 per cent credible intervals. With more stringent future upper limits from LOFAR at multiple redshifts, the constraints will become tighter and will exclude an increasingly large region of the parameter space.

description: In quiescence, Sgr A* is surprisingly dim, shining 100,000 times less than expected for its environment. This problem has motivated a host of theoretical models to explain radiatively inefficient accretion flows (RIAFs). The Chandra Galactic Center (GC) X-ray Visionary Program obtained approximately 3 Ms (one month) of Chandra HETG data, offering the only opportunity to examine the quiescent X-ray emission of Sgr A* with high resolution spectroscopy. Utilizing custom background regions and filters for removing overlapping point sources, this work provides the first ever look at stacked HETG spectra of Sgr A*. We model the background datasets with a cubic spline and fit the unbinned Sgr A* spectra with a simple parametric model of a power law plus Gaussian lines under the effects of interstellar extinction. We detect a strong 6.7 keV iron emission line in the HEG spectra and a 3.1 keV emission line in the MEG spectra. In all cases, the line centroids and equivalent widths are consistent with those measured from low-resolution CCD spectra. An examination of the unbinned, stacked HEG+/-1 spectrum reveals fine structure in the iron line complex. In addition to resolving the resonant and forbidden lines from He-like iron, there are apparent emission features arising with higher statistical significance at lower energy, potentially associated with FeXX-XXIV ions in a ~1 keV plasma arising near the Bondi radius of Sgr A*. With this work, we release the cleaned and stacked Sgr A* and background HETG spectra to the public as a special legacy dataset.

Electron energy is measured by a thick plastic scintillator detector. A conical array of plastic scintillator veto detectors is used to suppress events where the electron backscattered. A Monte Carlo simulation of this device in the configuration of the a-coefficient experiment is presented. The design, construction, and testing of a full-scale prototype device is described. We discuss the performance of this spectrometer with respect to its suitability for the experiment.

description: The formal neural networks represent a new view on ICT. The original neural network was based on the work by Warren McCulloch and Walter Pitts published in 1943. The most important issue in investigating neural networks is to consider how they may learn. Various kinds of artificial neuron based on the McCulloch-Pitts unit will now be described, and several learning rules discussed. The Linear Threshold Unit We have discussed in the classical neuron and the simple, on/off threshold unit. As McCulloch-Pitts had demonstrated in the early 1940s, to a first approximation, networks of such units can perform arbitrary computations.

description: : Soil erosion and sedimentation has become one of the major issues in the implementation of the EIA project in Malaysia. Study shows that, there are weaknesses among the developer in terms of implementing erosion anda sedimentation control measures. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate the quality of the EIA report in the terms of soil erosion and sedimentation aspect. The quality report is defined as a measure of adequacy and completeness the necessary information in the impact assessment. In this study, an EIA review package was designed to assess the quality of the EIA report. Methodology: This study has used quantitative content analysis method to evaluate the quality of the EIA report. There are 7 review areas has been evaluted in each EIA report. There are description of the project, project options, existing environmental conditions, impact assessment, mitigation measure, ESCP conceptual and monitoring plan. The review package contains 73 items overall. The scale of measurement 0 to 5 has been used to rating score quality for each item. 35 samples of EIA report for housing projects from the year 2012 to 2016 were evaluated. Test and retest method is conducted to ensure the reliability of review data meet the standard. The overall quality is calculated by aggregating the each value quality of review areas. Findings: Intraclass corellation (ICC) was done, it is aim to identify reliability of the data. Its found that the correlation is 0.896, which means the review has good reliability. This study found about 22 of the EIA report achieve satisfactory level (3.00 ). ESCP conceptual has found very poor quality. Most of the ESCP plan fail to shows the earthwork to be conduct in stages. The study also identify that the quality of EIA report was very depend by the expertise of the consultant. Contribution: This research was contribute in the new methodology in conducting evaluation of the EIA quality. EIA review packages in terms of soil erosion and sedimentation is one of the most important things that criticaly needed to be used in EIA review. It can be regard as quality control tools in EIA implementation. The study shows that EIA effectiveness could be affected if the quality of EIA report is in poor level

description: We propose a spinless Bose-Hubbard model in an one-dimensional (1D) double-chain tilted lattice at unit filling per cell. A subspace of this model can be faithfully mapped to the 1D transverse Ising model through superexchange interaction with second-order perturbation theory. At a valid parameter region, numerical results show good agreement of these two models both on energy spectrums and correlation functions. And we show that the dynamical quantum phase transition of the effective 1D transverse Ising model can be simulated. With carefully designed procedures for producing the dynamical quantum phase transition of the 1D transverse Ising model from a Mott insulator, the rate function of the recurrence probability to the ground-state manifold shows the same nonanalyticality at periodic time points as theory predicts. Our results may give some inspirations on simulating 1D transverse Ising model with superexchange interaction and exploring its dynamical quantum phase transition in experiment.

description: We define N=4, d=1 harmonic superspace HR^{1+2|4} with an SU(2)/U(1) harmonic part, SU(2) being one of two factors of the R-symmetry group SU(2)xSU(2) of N=4, d=1 Poincaré supersymmetry. We reformulate, in this new setting, the models of N=4 supersymmetric quantum mechanics associated with the off-shell multiplets (3, 4, 1) and (4, 4, 0). The latter admit a natural description as constrained superfields living in an analytic subspace of HR^{1+2|4}. We construct the relevant superfield actions consisting of a sigma-model as well as a superpotential parts and demonstrate that the superpotentials can be written off shell in a manifestly N=4 supersymmetric form only in the analytic superspace. The constraints implied by N=4 supersymmetry for the component bosonic target-space metrics, scalar potentials and background one-forms automatically follow from the harmonic superspace description. The analytic superspace is shown to be closed under the most general N=4, d=1 superconformal group D(2,1;α). We give its action on the analytic superfields comprising the (3, 4, 1) and (4, 4, 0) multiplets, reveal a surprising relation between the latter and present the corresponding superconformally invariant actions. The harmonic superspace approach suggests a natural generalization of these multiplets, with a [2(n+1), 4n, 2(n-1)] off-shell content for n>2.

description: We present the results from the 1.2 mm continuum image obtained as part of the ALMA Spectroscopic Survey in the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (ASPECS). The 1.2 mm continuum image has a size of 2.9 (4.2) arcmin$^2$ within a primary beam response of 50% (10%) and a rms value of $9.3\thinspace{\rmμJy\thinspace beam^{-1}}$. We detect 35 sources at high significance (Fidelity $\geq0.5$), 32 of these have well characterized near-infrared HST counterparts. We estimate the 1.2 mm number counts to flux levels of $<30\thinspace{\rmμJy}$ in two different ways: we first use the detected sources to constrain the number counts and find a significant flattening of the counts below $S_ν\sim 0.1$ mJy. In a second approach, we constrain the number counts by using a probability of deflection statistics (P(D)) analysis. For this latter approach, we describe new methods to accurately measure the noise in interferometric imaging (employing jack-knifing in the cube and in the visibility plane). This independent measurement confirms the flattening of the number counts. Our analysis of the differential number counts shows that we are detecting $\sim$93% ($\sim$100% if we include the lower fidelity detections) of the total continuum dust emission associated to galaxies in the HUDF. The ancillary data allows us to study the dependence of the 1.2 mm number counts on redshift ($z=0-4$), galaxy dust mass (${\rm M}_{\rm dust}=10^{7}-10^{9}{\rm M}_{\odot}$), stellar mass (${\rm M}_{*}=10^{9}-10^{12}{\rm M}_{\odot}$), and star-formation rate (${\rm SFR}=1-1000\thinspace{\rm M}_{\odot}\thinspace{\rm yr^{-1}}$). In an accompanying paper we show that the number counts are crucial to constrain galaxy evolution models and the understanding of star-forming galaxies at high redshift.

title: Dynamic Assessment of Academic Writing for Business Studies
Creators: name: Shrestha, Prithvi Narayan
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2012

description: This study explores the application of a formative assessment approach known as Dynamic Assessment (DA), as developed within the Vygotskian sociocultural theory of learning. DA blends instruction with assessment by targeting and further developing students’ Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD). The study investigates whether, and if so, how DA enhances students’ academic writing and conceptual development in business studies over time. DA and Hallidayan Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) informed the methodological design of this study, which employed a mixed methods approach in order to track learners’ ZPDs regarding academic writing development. The use of SFL to provide linguistic evidence for student writing development (ZPD) is new in DA and thus an innovative feature of this study. The data consists of six undergraduate business studies students’ three to four drafts of three assessments, which were analysed for textual and ideational meanings, as well as associated text-based interaction (mediation), complemented by student interviews and subject tutors’ written comments. This study extends previous DA studies such as Poehner and Lantolf (2005) in two key ways: i) its explicit focus on the construction of a macrogenre (whole text) as opposed to investigations of decontextualized language fragments, and ii) the range of mediational strategies identified and the consequent expansion of Poehner’s (2005) framework of mediation typologies. The findings suggest that DA, combined with SFL, provides insights into the learners’ maturing writing abilities, which the tutor can nurture further to help the learners internalise them. This study also shows that DA students made more gains than their non-DA counterparts regarding their ability to write a case study analysis genre. Additionally, the findings suggest that students can transfer their academic writing and conceptual knowledge from one assessment task to another, albeit at a varying level. The study, though small in scale, thus supports the view that targeted tutor support enhances students’ academic writing development. Implications are drawn concerning formative writing assessment research and practice in higher education.
Renormalon approach to higher-twist distribution amplitudes and the convergence of the conformal expansion

description: Power corrections to exclusive processes are usually calculated using models for twist-four distribution amplitudes (DA) which are based on the leading-order terms in the conformal expansion. In this work we develop a different approach which does not rely on conformal symmetry but is based instead on renormalon analysis. This way we obtain an upper bound for the contributions of higher conformal spin operators, which translates into a bound on the end--point behavior of DA. The existence of such a bound is important for proving factorization theorems. For the two-particle twist-four DA we find in the renormalon model that the conformal expansion converges but it does not converge uniformly near the end points. This means that power corrections to observables which are particularly sensitive to the region where one valence quark is soft, may be underestimated when using the first few terms in the conformal expansion. The renormalon models of twist-four DA of the pion and the rho meson are constructed and can be used as a viable alternative to existing models.

description: In the world economy and similarly in the Slovak agriculture there are more and more discussions about sustainable development and the influence of agriculture on the environment. For definition of the optimal environmental policy as well as the effects of agriculture and of agritrade, Figure 1 was used illustrating the problems of setting up the environmental tax which expresses a difference between the marginal social cost and the marginal private cost. Figure 2 shows the influence of the state on a level of pollution through penalty P* and simultaneously by quantification of the pollution maximum level f". Figure 3 shows the optimal environmental policy and the impact of agritrade liberalization. Based on a size of impacts, it is suggested that agritrade liberalization affects the production reduction, thus declining pollution level.

description: Using the map between free massless spinors on d+1 dimensional Minkowski spacetime and free massive spinors on $dS_{d+1}$, we obtain the boundary term that should be added to the standard Dirac action for spinors in the dS/CFT correspondence. It is shown that this map can be extended only to theories with vertex $({\bar\p}\p)^2$ but arbitrary $d\ge1$. In the case of scalar field theories such an extension can be made only for $d=2,3,5$ with vertices $ϕ^6$, $ϕ^4$ and $ϕ^3$ respectively.

description: As part of the UBC Food System Project (UBCFS) our group helped research and establish biofuel demonstration plots at the UBC Farm for canola, a first-generation biofuel, and miscanthus, a second-generation biofuel. Our research compares and contrasts these two crops in terms of growing capabilities and processing technologies, and contextualizes this information as it relates to the UBC Farm. After analyzing the soil and climate conditions of the UBC Farm, we deduced that both crops can potentially have all of their nutritional and climate requirements met once issues regarding adequate nitrogen for canola, and sufficient drainage for miscanthus are addressed. We believe that producing, processing and utilizing canola and its end product (biodiesel) is feasible within the boundaries of the UBC campus. On the other hand, miscanthus will serve better as a tool for education and research because of the relatively expensive technology that is required to extract its ethanol. Based on these findings and conclusions, our group provided a set of general recommendations to the UBC Farm and specific recommendations for the 2010 AGSC 450 students. They concern areas of research and interviews that we didn’t have the time or resources to complete. All of our recommendations support the notion that UBC has the potential to attain its goal of becoming a leader in sustainability, and can be an exemplar of a self-reliant food system.

description: The recent advances in information and communication technology (ICT) have further extended Internet of Things (IoT) from the sole "things" aspect to the omnipotent role of "intelligent connection of things". Meanwhile, the concept of internet of everything (IoE) is presented as such an omnipotent extension of IoT. However, the IoE realization meets critical challenges including the restricted network coverage and the limited resource of existing network technologies. Recently, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have attracted significant attentions attributed to their high mobility, low cost, and flexible deployment. Thus, UAVs may potentially overcome the challenges of IoE. This article presents a comprehensive survey on opportunities and challenges of UAV-enabled IoE. We first present three critical expectations of IoE: 1) scalability requiring a scalable network architecture with ubiquitous coverage, 2) intelligence requiring a global computing plane enabling intelligent things, 3) diversity requiring provisions of diverse applications. Thereafter, we review the enabling technologies to achieve these expectations and discuss four intrinsic constraints of IoE (i.e., coverage constraint, battery constraint, computing constraint, and security issues). We then present an overview of UAVs. We next discuss the opportunities brought by UAV to IoE. Additionally, we introduce a UAV-enabled IoE (Ue-IoE) solution by exploiting UAVs's mobility, in which we show that Ue-IoE can greatly enhance the scalability, intelligence and diversity of IoE. Finally, we outline the future directions in Ue-IoE.

We rationalize these regularities by developing a new firm-based trade model wherein managers are risk averse. Higher volatility induces the reallocation of export shares from the most to the least productive incumbents. Greater skewness of the demand distribution and/or higher trade costs weaken this effect. Our results hold for a large class of consumer utility functions.
title: Barriers to Secure ICT in a Maritime Environment
Creators: name: Wood, John
Publisher: name: The Open University

description: The purpose of the research reported in this thesis was to investigate the barriers to ICT security in a maritime environment so that the findings of the research can be used to develop a secure ICT maritime profile that will be capable of being updated on an on-going basis. This is an important area of research because the maritime sector is increasingly reliant upon ICT yet there is evidence that ICT security and the potential threats and consequences if ICT is not available when needed have not been given the attention they deserve. Indeed, the literature review carried out as part of this research pointed to a big gap in the maritime literature regarding ICT security. Literature from non-maritime specific fields was used to establish a basic understanding of the barriers most likely to be relevant and provide key terminology for use in this research. Empirical data were collected from semi-structured interviews with Royal Naval personnel and informal discussions with Merchant Navy officers. A robust yet flexible approach was used to interpret the results and thus identify the barriers, many of which are caused by complex interactions between social and technical factors, particularly on-board ships. Nine barriers to ICT security were revealed. They are: tensions experienced between security experts and ICT users; operational imperatives override security requirements; security requirements impeding business process; a limited ability to recover from disruption; unable or unwilling to share security incident information; Inadequate security training; disruption to situational awareness; unpredictable behaviour of people in difficult situations; and a lack of ICT security awareness. A new understanding of barriers arose from further interpretation of the findings, the results of which led to recommendations for the design for an updateable maritime ICT security profile that could be used to guide relevant staff (including Ship’s Security Officers) and as a tool to raise security awareness for non-experts.

description: The UK’s decision to leave the European Union (Brexit) is a potential watershed for the UK economy. Economists are almost unanimous that this will lead to welfare losses, the extent being contingent on the specific form of UK trade relations post-Brexit. The purpose of this paper is two-fold: first, to review the insights from recent research quantifying the impact of Brexit and, drawing on this, what these models imply about the likely challenges in determining the UK’s trade relations in a post-Brexit context. Second, to consider the specific issues that will apply to the UK food and agricultural sectors. These issues will be complex: the UK relies considerably on the EU for food imports and as a destination for exports; tariffs are higher in this sector compared with other sectors; and the use of non-tariff barriers is particularly prevalent. As a consequence, Brexit will have a potentially significant impact on the food and agricultural sectors with the consequence of reduced trade and higher food prices.
Comparison of Molecular Dynamics with Hybrid Continuum-Molecular Dynamics for a Single Tethered Polymer in a Solvent

description: We compare a newly developed hybrid simulation method which combines classical molecular dynamics (MD) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to a simulation consisting only of molecular dynamics. The hybrid code is composed of three regions: a classical MD region, a continuum domain where the dynamical equations are solved by standard CFD methods, and an overlap domain where transport information from the other two domains is exchanged. The exchange of information in the overlap region ensures that momentum, energy and mass are conserved. The validity of the hybrid code is demonstrated by studying a single polymer tethered to a hard wall immersed in explicit solvent and undergoing shear flow. In classical molecular dynamics simulation a great deal of computational time is devoted to simulating solvent molecules, although the solvent itself is of no direct interest. By contrast, the hybrid code simulates the polymer and surrounding solvent explicitly, whereas the solvent farther away from the polymer is modeled using a continuum description. In the hybrid simulations the MD domain is an open system whose number of particles is controlled to filter the perturbative density waves produced by the polymer motion.We compare conformational properties of the polymer in both simulations for various shear rates. In all cases polymer properties compare extremely well between the two simulation scenarios, thereby demonstrating that this hybrid method is a useful way to model a system with polymers and under nonzero flow conditions. There is also good agreement between the MD and hybrid schemes and experimental data on tethered DNA in flow. The computational cost of the hybrid protocol can be reduced to less than 6% of the cost of updating the MD forces, confirming the practical value of the method.

description: The term rural area is immediately understood by everybody. However, the creation of an objective, unequivocal definition of the countryside appears to be a tricky, even impossible task. Population density is a criterion most often used to define the boundary between rural and urban areas. The article presents new methods for definition of rural areas at two hierarchical levels — the local level (municipalities) and a territorial unit (district, region). The methods are based on the construction and the use of membership function of rural and urban areas.

description: The understanding of the concepts „rural areas", „rural municipality" and „rural region" has passed through a certain development. In the background of this development is the global economy with its negative impact on social and ecological systems in individual countries. The troubles connected with a considerable spatial imbalance have emerged mainly in the developed countries. Spatial approaches to solving the problems of rural areas have their roots in the above-mentioned processes. They evolved from purely sectional understanding through spatially-sectional comprehension (at present represented by the European Union's approach) to purely spatial concepts as presented in OECD studies. The theory of rural areas and its methodological procedures and instruments, too, are being developed in accordance with historical development.

description: We show how the symmetries of the Ising field theory on a pseudosphere can be exploited to derive the form factors of the spin fields as well as the non-linear differential equations satisfied by the corresponding two-point correlation functions. The latter are studied in detail and, in particular, we present a solution to the so-called connection problem relating two of the singular points of the associated Painleve VI equation. A brief discussion of the thermodynamic properties is also presented.

title: Influences of Affect and Naming on Children's Drawings
Creators: name: Galpin, James Bainton
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2013

description: Positive and negative affective characterisations have been shown to influence children’s use of size in human figure drawings. Inconsistency in the literature regarding this influence and methodological issues makes the robustness of the findings uncertain. Furthermore theoretical debate continues over the underlying mechanisms, acquired pictorial convention (APC) or an appetitive defensive mechanism (ADM), causing a differential expression of size. The first two studies were designed to improve upon past methodology in examining the relationship between size and affect in children’s drawings: a novel model figure was developed, independent measures of affect taken and children took part in drawing production and perception tasks. The first two studies examined the influence of affect on children’s drawings of nice and nasty human figures and the role of APC and ADM. The results indicated that affectively labelling a model figure to be drawn did not reliably influence the size of children’s drawings. However, consistency in the effects of labelling on drawing perception tasks was found. This led to an examination of the features, other than size, that different children displayed in their free drawings. There was consistency shown in terms of the core features children drew for concrete objects and children appeared to be using a set of shared conventions for representing objects. This consistency of use of features was not as robust for less concrete more descriptive topics (such as nice and nasty figures). The use of a word label was also shown to influence children’s drawings when copying from a model. Children were significantly more likely to include core features from the labelled object despite these being absent in the model. Furthermore children would draw core features prior to more periphery features, supporting the core-to-periphery progression principle.

description: Ce qu'on appelle la "querelle des toiles peintes" anime dans les années 1750 un lourd débat après soixante-dix ans de prohibition des indiennes ou toiles imprimées de confection étrangère (mais aussi française), en vue de protéger les manufactures nationales de la soie. Tandis que plusieurs projets de libéralisation du commerce sont à l'étude contre les privilèges des corporations, sous l'égide de Vincent de Gournay, celui-ci, qui vise à lever l'interdiction de ce type de cotonnades, se joue en grande partie à l'intérieur même des corporations, voire à l'intérieur des Six Corps des marchands de Paris. Une même corporation à l'image des merciers peut abriter des positionnements très différents selon que le marchand investit les circuits d'importation ou les réseaux manufacturiers intérieurs.

C'est pourquoi il faut prendre garde aux paroles relativement uniformes produites par les corporations au cours de ce débat, prenant souvent fait et cause pour le maintien des interdits. Elles cachent des avis plus ambigus sur la question, et cachent surtout des pratiques clandestines d'introduction et d'écoulement des toiles peintes depuis l'Angleterre ou la Hollande, au bénéfice de nombreux marchands incorporés de la capitale.
