description: In the first half of the nineteenth century, the Himalaya were finally being recognised as the highest mountains on the globe. Simultaneously, they were becoming the insecure northern frontier of the East India Company’s burgeoning Indian empire. This thesis examines the scientific, political and imaginative understandings of the Himalaya that emerged from this context. It traces two overlapping sets of arguments through the mountains. Firstly, it examines the laboriousness of scientific practice in the high spaces of the Himalaya, and the inherent dependency of European surveyors and naturalists on pre-existing networks of labour and expertise. Secondly, it details the role of global comparison in the rise of verticality as a framework for understanding both human and nonhuman worlds. The thesis consists of five thematic chapters, each of which deals with a different type of science: measurement, physiology, geology, botany, and biogeography. By addressing a range of interrelated sciences rather than focusing on only one, it becomes possible to explain how the mountains became both spaces and subjects of scientific practice. Methodologically, the five chapters do so by examining the practical aspects of doing science in remote and often topographically challenging locations. They concentrate especially on the moments that instruments, bodies and practices broke down, which are revealing of the social relationships that underpinned the knowledge they produced. A close focus is also maintained on everyday interactions between travellers and their guides (especially Bhotiya, Tartar, and Lepcha), which often highlight the limits of imperial mastery. Tracing the reconfiguration of these networks and practices ultimately reveals the many ways that the mountains were rendered as marginal spaces in this period in relation to lowland norms. More broadly, this thesis demonstrates the value of using geographical features as sites and scales for histories that transcend traditional national and area studies framings. By placing mountains at the centre of the analysis, it shows that travellers in the Himalaya were constantly measuring their experiences against expectations arising from the Alps and the Andes. It thus offers a methodology for examining the formation of what were inherently both sciences of the globe and global sciences in practice. At the same time, it shows that these global comparisons could be contradictory, often only adding to scientific and imperial uncertainties. Ultimately, this thesis thus argues that we need to pay attention to disconnection as much as connection in the making of supposedly global categories in the nineteenth century.

description: Objective: Disease modifying therapies (DMTs) for multiple sclerosis (MS) aim to delay progression and reduce relapses. Evidence is limited on the comparative effectiveness of the oral DMTs fingolimod and teriflunomide. This study evaluated time to treatment failure among patients with MS who initiated fingolimod versus teriflunomide in real-world settings. Methods: The retrospective cohort included 18–64 year old patients diagnosed with MS who initiated fingolimod or teriflunomide during 12 September 2012 to 30 September 2015 within MarketScan Commercial and Medicare Claims. Patients were followed from treatment initiation (index date) until first treatment failure or censoring. Treatment failure was defined as the first occurrence of MS relapse (identified using a validated algorithm) or treatment discontinuation (≥60 day supply gap). Treatment failure was examined through Kaplan–Meier analysis and multivariable Cox regression adjusting for 1 year baseline factors (age, gender, plan type, region, index year, prior DMT use, baseline relapses, Charlson Comorbidity Index [CCI] and MS symptoms). Results: On average, patients treated with fingolimod (n = 2704) were younger (43.6 versus 49.8 years) with lower CCI (0.4 versus 0.7) and more relapses at baseline (0.46 versus 0.42) than those treated with teriflunomide (n = 1859). Median time to treatment failure was 19.5 months with fingolimod versus 9.6 months with teriflunomide (p p Conclusions: In a large cohort of US adults with MS, controlling for key baseline characteristics, fingolimod was associated with significantly longer time to treatment failure and lower risk of treatment failure compared with teriflunomide.
Technological and Institutional Changes in the Indonesian Rice Sector: From Intensification to Sustainable Revitalization

description: Agricultural development in Indonesia has been changing dynamically since the country’s independence. This paper reviews the rice sector as part of agricultural development in Indonesia. It is remarkable that the agricultural sector was ignored when the oil boom benefited Indonesian economy. As revenues from oil dropped significantly, the agricultural sector emerged as an engine of economic growth in the 1980s. As staple food, rice was posited as top priority. Various rice Intensification programs coinciding with the Green Revolution were launched, and several institutions were established to support these programs. The result was so significant that Indonesia was able to achieve rice self-sufficiency by 1983. But with the growing critical awareness about sustainable development, the intensification programs lost their relevance. The programs were replaced with an environmentally sound policy. However, as the industrial sector grew, again, the agricultural sector was neglected until an economic crisis hit Indonesia in 1997 and rice self-sufficiency could not be sustained. Realizing the importance of the agricultural sector, it is now being developed in equal measure as other sectors. Under the current administration, an agricultural revitalization program has been implemented, and in 2008, Indonesia has achieved rice self-sufficiency for the second time.

description: Data from a number of different experimental measurements have been used to construct caloric curves for five different regions of nuclear mass. These curves are qualitatively similar and exhibit plateaus at the higher excitation energies. The limiting temperatures represented by the plateaus decrease with increasing nuclear mass and are in very good agreement with results of recent calculations employing either a chiral symmetry model or the Gogny interaction. This agreement strongly favors a soft equation of state. Evidence is presented that critical excitation energies and critical temperatures for nuclei can be determined over a large mass range when the mass variations inherent in many caloric curve measurements are taken into account.
description: In response to referees comments we have improved the discussion of the figures and added a new figure showing the relationship between the effective level density and the excitation energy. The discussion has been reordered and comments are made on recent data which support the hypothesis of a mass dependence of caloric curves

description: In spite of a healthy demand for a renaissance in economic policy for agricultural development, the academic supply response is found wanting. The infusion of public economics into the economics of agricultural development, which thrived during the 1970s and 1980s, has stagnated due to the lack of foundations in transaction costs, dynamics, and the co-evolution of specialization and governance. Many of the policy ideas found in the World Bank’s WDR 2008, for example, reflect a post-modern tendency to seek and destroy market failures with new mandates and subsidies for farmer cooperatives, microfinance, crop insurance, and land reform. The new development microeconomics favors form over substance and overemphasizes multiple equilibria, trap theories, new market failures, and the new case for social insurance. Empirical research has likewise suffered from the quest for clever instruments and methods instead of informative results that estimate parameters of established theories, distinguish between competing theories, or challenge theory to explain empirical patterns. These latest fads and fancies have distracted economists from the quest for fundamental explanations of development patterns, especially the nature and causes of specialization as an engine of growth. The stage is set for young dynamic scholars to develop new tools of analysis to explain empirical patterns in behavior and organization in developing agriculture and to build the foundations of a public microeconomics of development.

description: Chronic subdural haematoma (CSDH) is an encapsulated collection of blood and fluid overlying the surface of the brain, which is often treated with surgical drainage to prevent cerebral compression. Despite treatment it can recur, requiring further surgery and causing significant morbidity. Historically CSDH formation was considered to occur due to the ageing and expansion of acute bleeding following head trauma. However, within this thesis the natural progression of CSDH was assessed with serial imaging following trauma and highlighted the novel process of CSDH formation from a normal CT. This was hypothesised to occur through injury initiating inflammation within the subdural space which drives formation of a hypervascular membrane responsible for fluid and blood accumulation over time. This theory was investigated by examining 68 CSDH samples for the presence of selected inflammatory markers and haemoglobin concentration. All pro-inflammatory markers were significantly elevated in CSDH fluid compared to venous blood, particularly vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Haemoglobin degradation products were quantified with UV-Vis spectroscopy and more recent haemorrhage indicated an increased CSDH recurrence risk. This work was performed alongside the Dex-CSDH trial, a randomised, placebo-controlled trial of the potent anti-inflammatory dexamethasone. Blinded interim results of the trial are discussed, but the main focus are the scientific, mechanistic sub-studies. A method for detecting dexamethasone in CSDH and blood was developed using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and suggested there is no accumulation of the drug within the CSDH space. However, many of the inflammatory markers were reduced post-operatively following dexamethasone treatment. Volumetric and density analysis of pre-operative and post-operative imaging was also performed and may aid prediction of which patients are more likely to have a poor outcome or recurrence. This could help identify patients in the future who would benefit most from adjuvant therapies such as dexamethasone.

description: Using long-term panel data sets of rural households in the Philippines, Thailand, Bangladesh, and Tamil Nadu (India), a short-term panel data set in Mozambique, and cross-section data sets in Kenya, Uganda, and Ethiopia, the roles of labor markets in the long-term process of poverty reduction in Asia were examined in comparison with the current situation in Africa. There are three main findings. First, reliance on agricultural labor markets alone will not reduce poverty to a significant extent, in view of the declining share of agricultural wage income in Asia and its negligibly low level in Africa. Second, an increased non-farm income is a decisive factor in reducing rural poverty because it has become the major source of the rise in household income. Third, labor markets are clearly segmented in accordance with the schooling levels, where the younger and more educated children are engaged in lucrative non-farm labor employment in order to capture the high returns in schooling in this sector.

description: We have discovered both intermediate-order gravity mode and low-order pressure mode pulsation in the same star, HD 209295. It is therefore both a Gamma Doradus and a Delta Scuti star, which makes it the first pulsating star to be a member of two classes. The star is a single-lined spectroscopic binary with an orbital period of 3.10575 d and an eccentricity of 0.352. Weak pulsational signals are found in both the radial velocity and line-profile variations, allowing us to show that the two highest-amplitude Gamma Doradus pulsation modes are consistent with l=1 and |m|=1. In our 280 h of BVI multi-site photometry we detected ten frequencies in the light variations, one in the Delta Scuti regime and nine in the Gamma Doradus domain. Five of the Gamma Doradus frequencies are exact integer multiples of the orbital frequency. This observation leads us to suspect they are tidally excited. Results of theoretical modeling (stability analysis, tidal excitation) were consistent with the observations. We could not detect the secondary component of the system in infrared photometry, suggesting that it may not be a main-sequence star. Archival data of HD 209295 show a strong ultraviolet excess, the origin of which is not known. The orbit of the primary is consistent with a secondary mass of M > 1.04 Msun indicative of a neutron star or a white dwarf companion.

description: With the emergence of new photonic and plasmonic materials with optimized properties as well as advanced nanofabrication techniques, nanophotonic devices are now capable of providing solutions to global challenges in energy conversion, information technologies, chemical/biological sensing, space exploration, quantum computing, and secure communication. Addressing grand challenges poses inherently complex, multi-disciplinary problems with a manifold of stringent constraints in conjunction with the required system's performance. Conventional optimization techniques have long been utilized as powerful tools to address multi-constrained design tasks. One example is so-called topology optimization that has emerged as a highly successful architect for the advanced design of non-intuitive photonic structures. Despite many advantages, this technique requires substantial computational resources and thus has very limited applicability to highly constrained optimization problems within high-dimensions parametric space. In our approach, we merge the topology optimization method with machine learning algorithms such as adversarial autoencoders and show substantial improvement of the optimization process by providing unparalleled control of the compact design space representations. By enabling efficient, global optimization searches within complex landscapes, the proposed compact hyperparametric representations could become crucial for multi-constrained problems. The proposed approach could enable a much broader scope of the optimal designs and data-driven materials synthesis that goes beyond photonic and optoelectronic applications.

description: Reading illustrated novels: exploring the medium through participatory case study Jennifer Aggleton This thesis explores the opportunities that the medium of illustrated novels may provide for readers, through an empirical study of the responses of five children to three illustrated novels. The aim of this research was to create a new model of response to illustrated novels by exploring reading and meaning making processes, as well as the critical, creative, and aesthetic responses of children to illustrated novels. The research takes a sociocultural view of reading, and draws on theories of reader-response and social semiotics, as well as perspectives from research into illustrated novels, picturebooks, and theories of response to art. The research was conducted as a participatory qualitative multiple case study, working with five 9-10-year-old children reading three illustrated novels: The Imaginary by A F Harrold and Emily Gravett, The Midnight Zoo by Sonya Hartnett and Jonathan McNaughtt, and Not As We Know It by Tom Avery and Kate Grove. The participants helped to choose the texts, the research methods, and to direct the avenues of exploration. The data collected was analysed using the constant comparative method and content analysis. The model of response developed by this research suggests that illustrated novels, when approached as complete texts in which the writing and illustrations are considered interdependent and equally worthy of attention, have the potential to encourage readers to engage deeply through the creation of moments of pause which can provide space for reflection. The medium also holds the potential to prompt critical and creative responses when the juxtaposition of words and images results in the reader perceiving gaps, uncertainties, disagreements, or dissatisfactions. In addition, illustrated novels can provide aesthetic experiences, and prompt and develop aesthetic judgement. The research concludes that illustrated novels appear to hold enormous potential to prompt readers to engage in a variety of critical and aesthetic ways, and argues for a shift in the way in which this medium is perceived within scholarship and education in order to maximise that potential.

description: The $p_{\rm{T}}$-differential non-linear flow modes, $v_{4,22}$, $v_{5,32}$, $v_{6,33}$ and $v_{6,222}$ for $π^{\pm}$, $\rm{K}^{\pm}$ , $\rm{K}^{0}_{S}$ , p + $\overline{\rm{p}}$, $Λ$ + $\overlineΛ$ and $ϕ$-meson have been measured for the first time at $\sqrt{s_{\rm{NN}}}$ = 5.02 TeV in Pb-Pb collisions with the ALICE detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The results were obtained with a multi-particle technique, correlating the identified hadrons with reference charged particles from a different pseudorapidity region. These non-linear observables probe the contribution from the second and third order initial spatial anisotropy coefficients to higher flow harmonics. All the characteristic features observed in previous $p_{\rm{T}}$-differential anisotropic flow measurements for various particle species are also present in the non-linear flow modes, i.e. increase of magnitude with increasing centrality percentile, mass ordering at low $p_{\rm{T}}$ and particle type grouping in the intermediate $p_{\rm{T}}$ range. Hydrodynamical calculations (iEBE-VISHNU) that use different initial conditions and values of shear and bulk viscosity to entropy density ratios are confronted with the data at low transverse momenta. These calculations exhibit a better agreement with the anisotropic flow coefficients than the non-linear flow modes. These observations indicate that non-linear flow modes can provide additional discriminatory power in the study of initial conditions as well as new stringent constraints to hydrodynamical calculations.

description: Asian and global agriculture will be under significant pressure to meet the demands of rising populations, using finite and often degraded soil and water resources that are predicted to be further stressed by the impacts of climate change. In addition, agriculture and land use change are prominent sources of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Fertilizer application, livestock rearing, and land management affect levels of GHG in the atmosphere and the amount of carbon storage and sequestration potential. Therefore, while some impending climatic changes will have negative effects on agricultural production in parts of Asia, and especially on resource-poor farmers, the sector also presents opportunities for emission reductions. Warming across the Asian continent will be unevenly distributed, but will certainly lead to crop yield losses in much of the region and subsequent impacts on prices, trade, and food security—disproportionately affecting poor people. Most projections indicate that agriculture in South, Central, and West Asia will be hardest hit.

The Nernst effect presents a peak in a region of the H-T diagram where resistivity shows a non-metallic temperature dependence. Our results illustrate that the mechanism of dissipation in the mixed state of underdoped cuprates is poorly understood. Large quantum superconducting fluctuations and vanishing vortex viscosity are among suggested explanations for an enhanced Nernst signal close to the superconductor-insulator boundary.

description: The MiniBooNE experiment has observed a significant excess of electron neutrinos in a muon neutrino beam at source-detector distances too short to be compatible with standard neutrino oscillations. The most straightforward explanation for this signal in terms of oscillations between Standard Model neutrinos and a new, sterile, neutrino, is disfavored by null results from experiments looking for muon neutrino disappearance. Here, we discuss the possibility that MiniBooNE data are instead explained by a sterile neutrino that decays quickly back into active neutrinos plus a light boson. The flavor composition of the secondary neutrinos is determined by the sterile neutrino mixing angles, and we show that the data is best explained if the sterile neutrino mixes mostly with electron neutrinos. The preferred range for the mass of the sterile neutrino is between 100 eV and 1 keV. We argue that the model can easily satisfy cosmological constraints because it has the "secret interactions" mechanism built-in. Accommodating in addition to the MiniBooNE anomaly also the LSND, reactor, and gallium anomalies is possible, but in this case the model needs to be extended to avoid cosmological limits.

description: Axiomatization and Incompleteness in Arithmetic and Set Theory Wesley Duncan Wrigley I argue that are (at least) two distinct kinds of mathematical incompleteness. Part A of the thesis discusses Gödelian incompleteness, while Part B is concerned with set-theoretic incompleteness. Both parts are concerned with the philosophical justification of reflection principles and other axiomatic devices which can be used to reduce incompleteness, and in particular with the justification of such devices from the philosophical standpoint of Kurt Gödel. In Part A I consider Gödel's disjunctive argument. In chapter 1, I argue that the non-mechanical mind considered by Gödel is best modelled by a theory constructed using the transfinite iterated application of a soundness reflection principle to PA. I argue that Feferman's completeness theorem shows this account of the mind to be incompatible with some elementary assumptions in the epistemology of arithmetic. In chapter 2, these considerations are developed into a positive argument for the existence of absolutely undecidable arithmetical propositions. The consequences for the indefinite extensibility of the concept natural number are then discussed. I argue that properly understood, Feferman's theorem refutes Dummett's position in the debate. I begin part Part B in chapter 3, by reconstructing a version of Gödel's platonism, called conceptual platonism. I then examine how such a position relates to various means of reducing set-theoretic incompleteness. In chapter 4 I argue that there is some prospect for this position of effecting a limited reduction in incompleteness by means of reflection principles justified by mathematical intuition. However, such priniciples are incompatible with Gödel's commitment to platonism about properties of properties of sets. In chapter 5 I argue that conceptual platonism does not lend support to the view that a substantial reduction in incompleteness can be effected by large cardinal axioms justified using extrinsic methods analogous to the principles of theory choice in natural science. This undercuts the traditional justification for many large cardinal axioms, so I end with a sketch of how conceptual platonism could be modified to rehabilitate the large cardinals program.

The overall features of nuclear stopping are reasonbly well described by simple extrapolations of pp, and pA collisions to AA

Head small, partly hidden by pronotum, eyes large, hemispherically prominent, frontal interocular distance 0.70 times maximum eye diameter. Antennae compressed, antennomere 3 2.4 times longer than width. Pronotum flat, 1.24 times wider than long, with well developed carinae, disc darker than margins and carinae, frontal margin light testaceous, with sparse deep punctures, irregular rows of punctures also at lateral margins, whole disc covered with short, fine, dense pubescence. Elytra parallel-sided, 3.35 times longer than width at humeri, reticulate cells irregular, often rounded. Phallus quite slender, widened at base, symmetrical, apical third slightly widened, complex spine at base of phallus (Figs 15–16).

description: We have started since 1997 the Meudon Multicolor Survey of Outer Solar System Objects with the aim of collecting a large and homogeneous set of color data for Trans-Neptunian and Centaurs objects [...] We have a combined sample of 52 B-R color measurements for 8 Centaurs, 22 Classicals, 13 Plutinos, 8 Scattered objects and 1 object with unidentified dynamical class. This dataset is the largest single and homogeneous published dataset to date [...]. A strong (color) correlation with mean excitation velocity points toward a space weathering/impact origin for the color diversity. However, thorough modeling of the collisional/dynamical environment in the Edgeworth-Kuiper belt needs to be done in order to confirm this scenario. We found also that the Classical TNOs consist in the superposition of two distinct populations: the dynamically Cold Classical TNOs (red colors, low i, small sizes) and the dynamically Hot Classical TNOs (diverse colors, moderate and high i, larger sizes). [...] Our specific observation strategy [...] permitted us to highlight a few objects suspected to have true compositional and/or texture variation on their surfaces. These are 1998 HK151, 1999 DF9, 1999 OY3, 2000 GP183, 2000 OK67, and 2001 KA77 and should be prime targets for further observations [...]. Our survey has also highlighted 1998 SN165 whose colors and dynamical properties puts it in a new dynamical class distinct from the Classicals, its previously assigned dynamical class.

description: We present a calculation of the light neutral CP-even Higgs boson pole mass in the real MSSM which combines state-of-the-art EFT and fixed-order results, including the three-loop fixed-order QCD corrections as well as the resummation of logarithmic terms in the ratio of the weak to the SUSY scale up to fourth logarithmic order. This hybrid calculation should be valid for arbitrary SUSY scales above the weak scale. Comparison to the pure fixed-order and EFT results provides an estimate of their individual validity range.

description: Anxiety and fear are emotions provoked by threatening situations and shape adaptive behaviours, but excessive and uncontrollable anxiety and fear form core symptoms of anxiety disorders. High trait anxiety, an individual’s disposition to feel anxious, is associated with greater risk of developing depression and anxiety disorders. This raises the question: why are some more vulnerable to experiencing negative emotions associated with threat than others? As serotonin has been implicated as a key neuromodulator of emotion, the thesis addresses this question by adopting a multi-systems approach to investigate the link between serotonin and both threat-driven behaviour and trait anxiety with the common marmoset as a model. Firstly, factors underlying threat-related behaviour modelled with an exploratory factor analysis revealed a relationship between a predominantly avoidant fear coping style and an increased propensity for anxiety, establishing a link between specific fear-driven behavioural patterns and anxiety. After characterising anxiety and fear-driven behaviours, mRNA quantification of brain regions implicated in anxiety revealed serotonergic gene expressions corresponding to anxiety and fear-driven behaviours. Most notably, amygdala serotonin transporter expression was positively associated with anxious behaviour and was differentiated by the serotonin transporter polymorphism. Based on this association, the hypothesis that increased amygdala serotonin transporter expression may contribute to the high trait anxious phenotype was tested. Consistent with this hypothesis, blockade of amygdala serotonin transporters via local infusions of a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), citalopram reduced key characteristics of the high trait anxious phenotype: high state anxiety, and both the behavioural and physiological expression of conditioned fear. Anatomically, high anxious animals showed reduced basolateral amygdala (BLA) volume in adulthood. Moreover, BLA volume in adulthood was differentiated by the serotonin transporter polymorphism. During development, high anxious animals showed a delayed BLA growth trajectory. These findings demonstrate morphological changes in the BLA across different developmental timepoints predictive of high anxiety in adulthood. Taken together, findings here provide evidence of amygdala serotonin’s role in trait anxious expression, and propose behavioural, genetic, molecular and anatomical factors that may contribute to an individual’s vulnerability to anxiety.

description: Nucleate pool boiling experiments were performed on plain and five laser-textured stainless-steel foils using saturated pure water, 100% ethanol, 0.4% and 4.2% mole fraction ethanol – water mixtures. All laser-textured samples contained untreated, smooth 0.5 mm wide regions and intermediate textured surfaces, that differ in the width of the laser patterned regions (from 0.5 mm to 2.5 mm). For smooth surfaces, we measured significant decreases in average heat transfer coefficients (HTC) and increases in bubble activation temperatures in comparison with the laser-textured surfaces for all the tested working fluids. Significant enhancement in HTC (280%) on a textured heating surface with 2.5-mm-wide laser pattern was recorded using pure water. For pure ethanol, the highest enhancement of 268% was achieved on a heating surface with 1.5-mm-wide laser pattern. The highest enhancement of HTC for the tested binary mixtures was obtained using 2.0-mm wide-laser-textured regions (HTC improved by 235% and 279% for the 0.4% and 4.2% mixtures, respectively). Our results indicate that laser texturing can significantly improve boiling performance when the intervals of the laser-textured patterns are close to the capillary lengths of the tested fluids.

description: Neutral pions with p_T = 1 - 8 GeV/c have been measured for 9 different centrality classes in Au+Au collisions at sqrt(s_NN) = 200 GeV by the PHENIX experiment at RHIC. The pi^0 multiplicity in central reactions is significantly below the binary collision scaled yields from both peripheral Au+Au and pp reactions. The observed suppression sets in for the 50-70% centrality class and increases with p_T and centrality. For the most central bin, the deficit amounts to a factor ~2.5 at p_T ~ 2 GeV/c gradually increasing to a factor ~6 at p_T ~ 8 GeV/c.

The Contribution of HI-rich Galaxies to the Damped Lyman-alpha Absorber Population at z=0

description: We present a study of the expected properties of the low redshift damped Lyman-alpha absorber population determined from a sample of HI-selected galaxies in the local universe. Because of a tight correlation between the HI mass and HI cross-section, which we demonstrate spans all galaxy types, we can use our HI-selected sample to predict the properties of the absorption line systems. We use measurements of the number density and HI cross-section of galaxies to show that the total HI cross-section at column densities sufficient to produce damped Lyman-alpha absorption is consistent with no evolution of the absorber population. We also find that the dN/dz distribution is dominated by galaxies with HI masses near 10^9 Msolar. However, because of the large dispersion in the correlation between HI mass and stellar luminosity, we find that the distribution of dN/dz as a function of L_J is fairly flat. Additionally, we examine the line widths of the HI-selected galaxies and show that there may be evolution in the kinematics of HI-rich galaxies, but it is not necessary for the higher redshift population to contain a greater proportion of high mass galaxies than we find locally.
