title: Lord William Bentinck and the Indian States, 1828-1835.
Creators: name: Pandey, K. N.
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1957

description: This is a study of the relations of Lord William Bentinck with the Indian states during his governor-generalship (1828-1835). It considers his attitude towards the Indian states, the ideas with which he was inspired and the methods with which he sought to accomplish them. Bentinck's period was one of peace. It was disturbed by no internal and external wars of magnitude of the type which had characterised earlier periods. In this period the British government faced problems emerging from its supremacy which vitally affected the Indian states, Were those states, many of which were in a disorganized condition, to be perpetuated? And if so, how was the British government to conduct itself theoretically and practically towards them? Again, what part were the treaties to play in this relationship? These were questions to which no simple answer could be returned. Bentinck tried to answer them in a peaceful way. Drawing inspiration from the utilitarian ideas of his time he sought reform at the hands of the Indian princes. In place of coercing them he sought to influence them by policies of non-intervention, advice, persuasion and warning. Paramountcy was avowed but its use was conceived only in the last resort. In this study special attention has been given to instances which show the working of Bentinck's mind. Both the official records of the Company and the private papers of Lord William Bentinck have been used.
title: Dynastic History of Bengal (c. 750-1200 A.D.).
Creators: name: Chowdhury, Abdul Nomin
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1965

description: This work is a detailed study of the dynastic history of Bengal from the rise of the Palas down to the coming of the Muslims. We have divided it into three parts: the first dealing with the history of the Palas, the second devoted to the dynasties of South-Eastern Bengal and the third to the Senas and the Muslim invasion. The first part comprises three chapters. In the first chapter we have attempted a reassessment of the ascendency of the Palas. It covers the reigns of the first three rulers. We have reexamined the sources and found that many of the conclusions reached by previous writers are rather fanciful and unfounded. The idea of the election of Gopala I does not seem to hold good. In the second chapter we have covered the period of the successors of Devapala up to the reign of Mahipala I - a period of stagnation. We have discussed about the probable rule of both Vigrahapala I and Surapala I at the same time, and we have traced the gradual decline of the Palm power and its restoration by Mahipala I. The history of the Kamboja rulers has been fully discussed. The theory of Mahipala I's empire extending as far as Benares has been re-examined. The third chapter decline with the gradual decline and disintegration of the Pala empire, in spite of its partial rejuvenation by Ramapala. The origin of the revolt of the Kaivartas has been fully discussed. The second part comprises one chapter and deals with the hitherto unknown history of South-Eastern Bengal under its Deva, Candra and Varman rulers. The newly discovered materials enable us to reconstruct the history of these dynasties in greater detail. The third part comprises the fifth and the last chapter dealing with the history of the Senas and the coming of the coming of the Muslims. The thesis concludes with an outline of the general trend of the history of Bengal in our period. In an appendix we have discussed the chronology of the Pala kings. The newly discovered Valgudar inscription of Madanapala puts us in a more advantageous position in this respect than previous writers. The chronology of the other dynasties has been included in their respective chapters.
title: A Dialectological Survey of Northern and Central Kurdish.
Creators: name: MacKenzie, D. N.
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1957

description: This work comprises a survey of the Kurdish dialects spoken in the following northern areas, or by the following tribes of present-day Iraq: Sulaimaniya, Warmawa, Bingird, Pizdar, Arbil, Rawandiz, Xosnaw, Surcir, Akra, Amadiya, Barwari-zor, Gulli, and Zakho. With the sole exception of Sulaimani Kurdish none of these dialects has previously been described individually. A descriptive sketch of the Phonology, Morphology and Syntax of the dialects is therefore given, based on the evidence of the lingusitic material recorded by the writer in 1954-5. Where appropriate, reference is also made to other descriptions of Kurdish dialects, particularly that of the Mukri dialect by Oskar Mann. Certain phonetic and morphological features distinguishing the various dialects are then summarized and on the basis of this summary a division of the dialects into main, viz. Northern and Central, and subsidiary groups is suggested.
title: Capital Formation in Iraq, 1957-1962.
Creators: name: Hashim, Jawad Mahmood
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1966

description: The importance of capital formation estimates in general, and for an underdeveloped country such as Iraq in particular, emerges from the fact that plans for the economy can only be properly drawn up, and the significance of such plans for economic development can only be fully understood, on the basis of information about the total available resources in the economy and the part of these devoted to public and private capital formation. The main purpose of measuring capital formation, therefore, is to estimate that part of National Income which is devoted to the addition to the country's existing stock of physical asset. Though Iraq has witnessed during the last decade a large and interesting development of national statistics covering various aspects of the economy, detailed capital formation estimates were not contemplated. Consequently, it was decided to utilize the available statistics and attempt to build up as complete an estimate of Gross Domestic Fixed Capital Formation as possible for the period 1957 through 1962. The fundamental objective of this study, therefore, is to produce the estimates and describe their methods of estimation in a meaningful way. It is not the object of this study, however, to undertake an economic analysis of the role of investment. The study concentrates on one aspect of capital formation: the annual gross additions to the existing stock of fixed capital in terms of new construction and investment in producers' durables. The estimates are presented in three sets of classification, namely, by type of asset, by industry group, and by type of purchaser of capital goods. In each set, the two groups of transactors - the public and the private sectors - are distinguished. Furthermore, the figures are expressed in current as well as in constant (1957) prices. Finally, it is hoped that the present estimates of capital formation will fill an empirical gap in Iraq's statistics in a manner suiting several purposes.
title: Badr Sha kir al-Sayyab: The Man and His Poetry.
Creators: name: Boullata, Isaa Joseph
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1969

description: The purpose of this dissertation is to study the life and poetry of Badr Shakir al-Sayyab (1926-1964) and ascertain his place in modern Arabic literature. By visits to the scenes of al-Sayyad's life, by personal interview and correspondence with people who knew him, by access to his unpublished poetry and to official documents relating to his education, government position and medical treatment, the author supplemented the knowledge obtained from the poet's published works and from other materials. The picture of the poet emerging from this study is that of one deeply hurt by life. Since boyhood, the death of his mother and the desertion of his father leave him in constant search for love and security. The realization in adolescence that he is ugly, the failure of his love affairs in high school and college, and his sensitivity to social oppression make him join the Communist Party. His poetry meanwhile is romantic and rebellious. Be introduces free verse and helps to create a new movement in Arabic poetry. His struggle against his government causes him to lose his job and enter prison many times. After a short self-exile, he returns home having renounced communism and continues, after his marriage, to oppose his government and criticize Arab society in realist poems achieving literary fame. He welcomes the revolution against the monarchy but later attacks the republican regime for its communist leanings. He uses myths of death and resurrection in his poetry to express his disillusionment and his hopes for Iraq and the Arab nation. He then becomes afflicted with paralysis and spends the last three years of his life being treated at home and abroad, and writing of his pathetic experience with approaching death. His poetry represents the malaise of the Arab world and ushers a new era in Arabic poetry.
title: A History of the Lozi People to 1900.
Creators: name: Mainga, Mutumba
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1969

description: This study seeks to throw new light on Lozi history partly by exploiting new sources, written and oral, and partly by asking new questions. A thorough examination of the Lozi's concept of their own history reveals the existence of complex and detailed variants of oral Tradition, whose character is fully discussed in this thesis. These different variants of tradition can be used to illuminate many of the crucial problems of Lozi history. In addition this thesis draws upon a variety of written sources, some of them hitherto unused by historians. It seeks to combine the written and oral and oral material to produce a coherent interpretation of Lozi history, and at the same time to explore the character and reliability of each type of evidence by comparing and contrasting, as well as by supplementing the one with the other. The main emphasis of this thesis is on the attempt to establish the nature lines of development of the Lozi traditional structure and institutions from time of the founding of the present Lozi dynasty, probably in the mid-seventeenth century. It also endeavours to show how external factors affected this structure, and the extent to which such external factors were themselves exploited by the Lozi, and especially by king Lewanika. The arrival of Mbunda immigrants at the end of the eighteenth century of the Makololo invaders in about 1840, and of the Europeans whether as missionaries, traders, empire builders or administrators, are the main external factors considered. In the past , writers on Lozi history have tended to treat these external factors factors as distinot from the main internal development of the structure of the Lozi state. In this thesis the survival of the Lozi state into the twentieth century is examined and explained in terms of the interaction of internal and external factors in Bulozi.
title: The Termination of Hostilities in the Early Arab Conquests, A.D. 634-656.
Creators: name: Hill, D. R.
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1970

description: The work deals with the Arab conquests from the first invasions of foreign territory up to the death of 'Uthman. The subject-matter comprises the reduction, pacification and occupation of the conquered areas, data being drawn from the major Arabic sources, from some Persian local histories, and from two Christian historians. A computer was used to assist in processing the information, the resulting documents being used in sorting, presenting and analysing the data. The work consists of the following sections: Introduction. II. List of Primary sources, Secondary works and Isnads. III. Appraisal of the Sources. IV. Reports and Commentaries by Regions. For each region the reports on Terminations of Hostilities are presented systematically in categories, each report with full references. This list is followed by a Commentary, giving first a brief survey of the conquest, and then a discussion and evaluation of the reports. V. Analysis of the Reports and Conclusion. The reports are considered as a whole, and are analysed by quantitative and qualitative methods. In the Conclusion the results of the work are summarized and a brief assessment is made of the effect of the Terminations of Hostilities upon the outcome of the conquests.
title: The Internal Politics of the Kandyan Kingdom 1707-1760.
Creators: name: Dewaraja, Lorna Srimathie
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1970

description: This thesis is a study of the political and social structure of the Kandyan kingdom between 1707 and 1760. The introductory chapter gives a brief survey of-the sources used in this work and sketches the general history of Kandy before 1707. Chapter II attempts to trace the origin of the Nayakkar dynasty and the circumstances that led to its establishment in Ceylon, The nature of the Kandyan nobility and the basis of its power is discussed in the third chapter. The relations between the Kandyan nobles and the king in the reigns of Narendrasimha (1707-1739), Sri Vijaya Rajasimha (1739-1747) and the earlier part of the reign of Kirti Sri Rajasimha (1747-1760) form the theme of the next three chapters. Chapter VII attempts to discuss the interplay of religion and politics. The central and provincial administration and the judiciary of the Kandyan kingdom in the eighteenth century with special reference to the part played by the bureaucratic nobility is discussed in chapters VIII and IX. The final chapter contains an account of the Kandyan court ceremonial and its effect on the relationship between the king and the nobles.
title: Developments and Reforms in Cameroon Land Law Since 1884.
Creators: name: Ngwasiri, Clement Nforti
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1979

description: This thesis is the first of its kind, so far as Cameroon land law is concerned, in that it is the first attempt to cover the country as a whole. The subject is treated in five parts comprising a total of twelve chapters. Part one, which is the introduction, has two chapters, the first of which briefly outlines the country's history whereas the second chapter explains the present administrative structure of Cameroon. The third and fourth chapters, of which part two consists are devoted to the ethnic composition of Cameroon. Chapter three traces the patterns of settlement of the different ethnic groups in the territory and chapter four undertakes an analytical description of these groups from the point of view of their political, kinship and economic systems as well as their religions and languages. The two chapters of part three which deal with the indigenous land tenures respectively analyse the interests of benefit on the one hand and the interests of control on the other. These are the two broad schemes of interests enjoyed under the indigenous land tenures in the territory. Part four consists of three chapters corresponding to the three European Powers, Germany, Britain and France which administered the territory between 1884 and 1961. Apart from discussing the effects of this European administration on the indigenous institutions, the administrative and political separation of the territory between 1922 and 1961, when Britain and France administered the area is also discussed. The fifth and final part also contains three chapters. The first two chapters examine the reaction of the governments of the two federated states of East and West Cameroon to the land tenure policies which had been adopted in these territories by France and Britain. The twelfth and last chapter takes a critical look at the current land tenure reforms in the country.
title: Some Aspects of Society and Politics in Bengal 1927 to 1936.
Creators: name: Khan, Baziur Rohman
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1979

description: Chapter I discusses Muslim politics in Bengal during the period under review, analysing the social structure of the Muslim community and the background of the articulate segment of that community. The problems of leadership, of the formation of political groups and of their strategies in legislative politics are reviewed, and the responses elicited by the prospect of constitutional advance. Chapter II deals with Hindu politics in the same years, in both social and strictly political aspects. The nature of the two major groups, at leader and follower levels, and of their ties with fringe groups is discussed, and the objects for which they fought. The relationship of provincial with national and of provincial with Calcutta Corporation politics is discussed, and the general strategies of the provincial Congress. Chapter III concentrates on student politics-the process of political orientation, and the sociological and psychological factors involved therein. Student organisation and action-their strengths and weaknesses are considered, and the relationship between activist students and elder politicians and party groupings. Chapter IV deals with the politics of violence---the formation and organization of terrorist parties, their aims and objectives, the response they elicited from government and from constitutional parties, and the effectiveness of terrorism as a political instrument.
Transition between heavy-fermion strange metal and quantum spin liquid in a 4d-electron trimer lattice

description: We present experimental evidence that a heavy Fermi surface consisting of itinerant, charge-neutral spinons underpins both heavy-fermion-strange-metal (without f electrons) and quantum-spin-liquid states in the 4d-electron trimer lattice, Ba4Nb1-xRu3+xO12 (|x| < 0.20). These two exotic states both exhibit an extraordinarily large entropy, a linear heat capacity extending into the milli-Kelvin regime, a linear thermal conductivity at low temperatures, and separation of charges and spins. Furthermore, the insulating spin liquid is a much better thermal conductor than the heavy-fermion-strange-metal that separately is observed to strongly violate the Wiedemann-Franz law. We propose that at the heart of this 4d system is a universal, heavy spinon Fermi surface that provides a unified framework for explaining the exotic phenomena observed throughout the entire series. The control of such exotic ground states provided by variable Nb concentration offers a new paradigm for studies of correlated quantum matter.

title: The Doctrine of Tainted Debts in Hindu Law.
Creators: name: Deshmukh, Sadashivrao Nanasaheb
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1978

description: The object of thesis is to enquire into various aspects of the doctrine of 'tainted' debts in Hindu law, as found in the dharmasastras, and in the light of their interpretations by the commentators, digest-writers (nibandhakaras) and modern scholars; and to explain its present position obtained at the hands of the modern courts of with an eye on remedies, if any, to rectify the ambiguity which presently surrounds the doctrine. The first chapter begins with a brief survey of the sources of our information. Then, it explains the institution of the Mitaksara joint family, the father-son relationship, the function of the Pious Obligation, and ends with the introduction of the doctrine of 'tainted' debts. The first part of the thesis --- chapters two to four --- enquires into the nature, scope and possible reasons for the exclusion of these debts, except the surety debts, from the son's liability mainly from the point of view of the sastras as expounded by the commentators, digest-writers and modern scholars. In view of their peculiar nature as compared to rest of the enumerated debts, as well as their exceptional treatment in the sastras, the surety debts are discussed separately in Appendix I. In the second part, the fifth chapter is devoted to explaining certain similar but foreign legal concepts already known to the British judges, which seem to have influenced the judical opinion significantly while administering justice in respect of the doctrine of 'tainted' debts. Having this information as a background, the sixth chapter proceeds with the enquiry concerning the case-law on the subject, as developed by the modern courts of law. This, in turn, leads us to the question of 'notice of taint'. The significance of the doctrine of 'notice of taint', and its place in the modern Hindu law of debts is, therefore, discussed in the seventh chapter. The final chapter contains the concluding remarks in respect of the future of the 'Pious Obligation' and the doctrine of 'tainted' debts in modern Hindu law. Throughout the thesis an attempt is made to throw further light on the controversial points of law on the subject.

description: Collection and morphological characterization of Gyrodactylus
 Once at the laboratory, the external body surfaces, fins, and gills of cyprinid hosts were checked for the presence of gyrodactylid parasites using an MST130 stereoscopic microscope. When present, parasite specimens were removed using surgical needles and mounted on slides with a mixture of glycerine and ammonium picrate (GAP) [59]. Monogenean specimens were studied morphologically considering a total of 23 morphological characters, of which four, seven, and one corresponded to the hamuli (also termed anchors), and the ventral and dorsal bars, respectively, and eight and two characters corresponded to the marginal hooks and male copulatory organ (MCO), respectively. The terminology for the haptoral sclerites and the method of measurements follow those of Malmberg [58], Pugachev et al. [78], and Kritsky and Thatcher [50]. Gyrodactylus species were identified using original descriptions available thus far (see the result sections for references). Measurements (given in micrometers as the mean followed by the range and the number of measurements (n) in parentheses) and photographs were taken using an Olympus BX51 phase-contrast microscope and Olympus Stream Image Analysis v. 1.9.3 software (Olympus, Tokyo, Japan). Drawings of the haptoral sclerotized parts were made on flattened specimens using an Olympus BX51 microscope equipped with a drawing tube and edited with a graphic tablet compatible with Adobe Illustrator CS 6 v. 16.0.0 and Adobe Photoshop v. 13.0 (Adobe Systems Inc., San Jose, CA, USA). Prevalence and intensity of infection were calculated according to Bush et al. [8]. Voucher material was deposited in the Helminthological Collection of the Institute of Parasitology, the Biology Centre of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, České Budějovice (IPCAS) under the accession numbers (see Results section).

title: Douala Under the French Mandate, 1916 to 1936.
Creators: name: Derrick, Jonathan
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1979

description: Douala arose from the settlement founded by the Dualas beside the Wouri river estuary, initially called Cameroons. A fishing and farming community, the Dualas became successful palm produce traders with the Europeans in the 19th century. Then they were ruled by Germany from 1884 to 1914. In the formative German period the Dualas showed their approach to European rule - collaboration aimed at seeking advantages, combined with criticism culminating in the protests against land expropriation effected in 1914 - which they continued after the First World War had led to French rule from 1916. There was widespread opposition to France initially, with calls for self- government. After 1920 this movement declined temporarily, but protests continued. Douala was the main commercial centre of French Cameroun. Economic expansion provided many opportunities seized by Dualas, as traders and especially as cash crop planters. They served the French, to mutual advantage, as clerks. They extended their education further, mainly through the Protestant Mission which most followed. French policy reduced but did not eliminate their influence over non-Dualas. Continued anti-colonialism was shown in the movement surrounding the independent Baptists; the movement for restoration of land expropriated in 1914; and active nationalism including approaches to the League of Nations (1929-32). The last phase coincided with the Depression. Economic damage to Duala interests in the Depression was limited, but politically they were more subdued after 1932. They were then outnumbered by African immigrants. With the French at the height of their power, ruling through the Dualas' important traditional rulers and the Strangers' untraditional ones, Douala in 1936 exemplified a West African city at the zenith of colonialism.

Creators: name: Cooray, Mannamarakkalage Joseph Anthony
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1979

description: In this thesis the attention is mainly focussed on the 'judicial power cases' of the 1948-1972 period, which laid down that separation of powers and independence of the judiciary were fundamental features of the Soulbury Constitution of Ceylon. In Part I an attempt is made to find out the extent to which these principles found expression in the colonial constitutional structure from 1796 to 1948. It will be shown how during this period the courts of Ceylon gradually strengthened their independent position. How the courts of Ceylon 'assumed' the power of judicial review of legislation and creatively interpreted the Constitution and so made law is discussed in Part II. The adoption of the 'autochtho nous constitution' of 1972, its objects, and the role of the Constitutional Court which was given the power to review Bills, instead of the more familiar judicial review of legislation form the subject matter of Part III. It will be shown how that court interpreted the Constitution in such a manner so as to defeat the very purpose for which it had been adopted. Chapters 3 and 9 deal with the judicial role during colonial rule and in independent Ceylon, respectively. The role of the Constitutional Court is assessed in Chapter 11. The epilogue reviews the development of the judiciary and its role with hindsight, outlines the changes brought about by the 1978 Constitution and examines how far the independence of the judges is respected in Sri Lanka. An attempt is also made to study briefly the causes for rivalry or disharmony between the judiciary and the administration.

title: The Internal Policy of Lord Auckland in British India From 1836 to 1842, With Special Reference to Education.
Creators: name: Sinha, D. P.
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1953

description: An attempt has been made in this thesis to describe the internal policy of Auckland, Governor General of India, from 1836 to 1842. This aspect of Auckland's administration has been neglected by historians, who have confined their studies mainly to his foreign policy, thereby conveying the impression that his Governor-Generalship was devoid of any important measure of reform. But we find that Auckland made a serious and successful attempt to grapple with various problems of administrative and social police, namely, education, religion, slavery, emigrant labour and judicial reform. The period of conquest was beginning to give way to that of administration, and the Charter Act of 1833 increased the scope of the Central Government and envisaged a policy of social justice. Auckland's contribution was the greatest in the field of education. He solved the controversy bequeathed to him by Bentinck end laid down a comprehensive educational policy for Bengal and tried to bring the educational activities of the three presidencies into closer contact. He also tried to link educational policy with the needs of the public services. Other aspects of Auckland's policy reveal his attitude to the way of life, social position and status of Indians. His policy towards religions was one of strict neutrality and he relied on gradual changes to effect the necessary reforms. He aimed at abolition of slavery through progressive amelioration. He also tried to protect the interests of emigrant labourers and failing in this prohibited emigration altogether. Auckland's judicial reforms aimed at improving the position of Indian judges and putting British subjects on the same footing as Indians before the Courts of law. Lastly, he made the administration of justice national by substituting the vernaculars for Persian in judicial proceedings.
title: The Internal Policy of the Indian Government 1885-1898.
Creators: name: Singh, H. L.
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1953

description: This thesis is concerned with the study of British Indian internal policy between 1885 and 1898. The growth of English education, the Press, and swift means of communication brought the British Government into contact with developing Indian opinion, which called for a new approach. The difficulty of reconciling the principles of equality and of freedom of expression and association with the circumstances of an automatic foreign rule was fundamental. This study does not cover all important aspects of British policy. The addition of a few more topics, such as, the fiscal policy of the Government, more particularly the question of import duties on cotton goods, relations between the Supreme and Provincial Governments, and social legislation including tenancy reforms, would have certainly made the picture complete. It was, however, not possible to discuss them within the limits of a thesis. Even the topics included here have not been treated in all their aspects. The chapter on the problem of Indianisation, for instance, deals only with the Indian Civil Service in two aspects: the mode of recruitment and the scope of Indian employment. The present study is not concerned with organisational details. Statistics have been given only where absolutely necessary. In the examination of British policy of so recent a period as the present one, it is easy to exaggerate things either way. This study is, however, an attempt to view them in an objective and sympathetic manner.

title: The East India Company and the Economy of Bengal From 1704 to 1740.
Creators: name: Bhattacharyya, Sukumar

Year: 1953

description: In this thesis an attempt has been made to give a picture of the economic development in Bengal from 1704 to 1740 with special reference to the effect and influence of tree East India Company. The year 1704 marks the advent of Murshid Kuli Khan to the helm of affairs in Bengal for all practical purposes. The establishment at the turn of the century, of the influence of the Company in Bengal, which was strengthened by the farwan granted in 1717 by the Moghul Emperor Farrukhsiyar, brought into prominence a conflict of interests between the Company and other forces which were then dominant in the economy of Bengal. The Fort William Consultations which flow from 1704 to 1740 without a break, reinforced by the factory records and letters and despatches which passed between the Directors of the Company in London and their agents in Calcutta help us to build up the story of the impact of the East India Company on Bengal. The thesis divided into seven chapters. Chapter I gives an account of the economy of Bengal at the turn of the century. Chapter II traces the growth of the Company's influence in Bengal and its relations with the Government. Chapter III deals with the position of other European traders in Bengal specially the Ostend Company. Chapter IV seeks to explain the system of currency and show how tile increasing penetration of the Company led to u conflict of interests with the indigenous bankers and traders. Chapter V deals with markets and trade with special reference to saltpetre, silk and cotton goods. Chapter VI describes the general economic conditions, the state of art and industries and the extent of the contact of the East India Company with the people. Chapter VII draws some conclusions.

description: The goals of this thesis are original simulation studies contributing to the design ofthe dual radiator Ring Imaging CHerenkov counter (dRICH) of the ePIC experimentat the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC). The context of these studies is provided inChapter 1, where an introduction to the physics scope of the EIC and the ePICexperiment is provided, Chapter 2, which introduces the EIC project and theePIC experiment, in Chapter 3, where basic concepts about particle identificationby Cherenkov techniques are recalled and Chapter 4, which describes the overallparticle identification system of the ePIC experiment.The original studies, performed by the student author of this thesis, are reportedin Chapter 5. Three issues relevant for the dRICH design have been addressed,two of them related to the novelty of the selected sensors of single photons, namelySilicon PhotoMultipliers (SiPM), this being the first time they are used in aCherenkov imaging detector:• The dependence of the dRICH performance versus the parameters of one of thetwo radiators, the aerogel, in view of optimizing the choice of the parametersto be fixed for this radiator.• The distributions of the angles of the Cherenkov photon trajectories respectto the photosensor surface; this information is relevant as, when the trajectoryis far from the orthogonal direction, the optical properties of the entrancewindow of the photosensor can reduce the number of detected photons.• A feature of the selected photosensors is the relevant dark count rate, wherethe dark signals are non distinguishable from the single photon signals. Thepresence of this background affects the dRICH performance. The studiespresented in this thesis are the first estimation of the dRICH performancedegradation caused by the dark counts.The impact of the studies performed within this thesis is underlined in Chapter 6.

description: We introduce Würstchen, a novel architecture for text-to-image synthesis that combines competitive performance with unprecedented cost-effectiveness for large-scale text-to-image diffusion models. A key contribution of our work is to develop a latent diffusion technique in which we learn a detailed but extremely compact semantic image representation used to guide the diffusion process. This highly compressed representation of an image provides much more detailed guidance compared to latent representations of language and this significantly reduces the computational requirements to achieve state-of-the-art results. Our approach also improves the quality of text-conditioned image generation based on our user preference study. The training requirements of our approach consists of 24,602 A100-GPU hours - compared to Stable Diffusion 2.1's 200,000 GPU hours. Our approach also requires less training data to achieve these results. Furthermore, our compact latent representations allows us to perform inference over twice as fast, slashing the usual costs and carbon footprint of a state-of-the-art (SOTA) diffusion model significantly, without compromising the end performance. In a broader comparison against SOTA models our approach is substantially more efficient and compares favorably in terms of image quality. We believe that this work motivates more emphasis on the prioritization of both performance and computational accessibility.
