description: The Hierarchical Equations of Motion (HEOM) method has become one of the cornerstones in the simulation of open quantum systems and their dynamics. It is commonly referred to as a non-perturbative method. Yet, there are certain instances, where the necessary truncation of the hierarchy of auxiliary density operators seems to introduce errors which are not fully controllable. We investigate the nature and causes of this type of critical error both in the case of pure decoherence, where exact results are available for comparison, and in the spin-boson system, a full system-reservoir model. We find that truncating the hierarchy to any finite size can be problematic for strong coupling to a dissipative reservoir, in particular when combined with an appreciable reservoir memory time.

title: United Nations Peace Operations and the Management of World Order.
Creators: name: Richard, Kareem Alqaq
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 2006

description: The thesis critically examines the advance of United Nations peacekeeping as an instrument for managing various facets of a post-colonial world order. The first part of the study explores the structural role of UN peace operations in a world of sovereign states as well as the internal political struggle to shape the parameters and direction of the UN's work. As far as the former is concerned, it is suggested that peace operations should be understood as very specific political activities that have been forged to provide for either a transition from one social system to another, or deployed to buttress a particular world social order. Concurrently, it is argued that the expansion of peacekeeping must also be seen in the context of the internal ideological and political battle to determine the orientation of the world body. While this has witnessed the organisation briefly challenged during the 1970s by Third World states determined to direct the UN's gaze onto the regulation of the private international economy, the matter has been settled (for now) in favour of the organisation directing its energies to advocating particular forms of liberal governance within Southern societies. Both dynamics-the wider structural role of peace operations and the narrower internal struggle to determine the content of the UN's work-are necessary in order to understand the political connotations of these practices and their predominance in the organisation's activities today. After analysing the political specificity of UN peace practices, the study moves on to look at their utilisation in the African context-in Angola, Rwanda, and Somalia-paying particular attention to the wider political transformations underway in each context and the role of the UN in pursuing such ends. The thesis concludes with a set of observations about the place of the UN in managing world order in the Southern hemisphere.

title: Waste Management Law and Policy in Taiwan: A Case Study in Comparative Environmental Law.
Creators: name: Kuo, Joan S.
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 2005

description: The purpose of the thesis is twofold. First, the dissertation examines the state of waste management laws and regulations in Taiwan (the Republic of China). Secondly, it considers whether the waste management laws and regulations of England and Wales may serve as effective models for assisting Taiwan to develop a more comprehensive waste management law. This study is primarily focused on the legal and practical aspects of waste management laws and regulations in Taiwan, which for many years has been recognised as a significant problem Key areas of legal reform are argued to be the adoption of integrated pollution prevention control towards waste management, liability in relation to contaminated land, concerns regarding duty of care, and the development of an effective and fair system of dispute resolution for resolving environmental disputes. The thesis begins with an overview of the major developments in the waste management field in Taiwan. The current status of environmental protection and the relevant administrative framework will be considered, The thesis then discusses the implementation of environmental laws in Taiwan. Solid waste disposal management and pertinent pollution control will be carefully analysed. Subsequently, consideration is given to the issues of special problem of radioactive waste, dispute settlement and 'sustainable development' in Taiwan. A selective examination of the waste management laws and regulations of England and Wales that might provide inspiration for a more cohesive and integrated environmental protection regime in Taiwan are used as a basis to propose a number of law reforms. For instance, legislative measures for the remediation of contaminated land are suggested. The regime of duty of care is drawn upon to recommend the amendment of existing Taiwanese waste management laws to include a liability section. The integrated pollution prevention control system found in England and Wales is better than that provided by existing environmental legislation in Taiwan. The urgent need for legal development regarding the effective use of alternative dispute resolution to resolve environmental disputes in Taiwan. Further, greater public participation in environmental decision and rule making is also proposed. The thesis advances knowledge through its examination of the current state of waste management laws and regulations in Taiwan. At the same time, the dissertation makes a contribution to comparative law in as much as it considers the manner in which the waste management laws and regulations of England and Wales may serve as effective tools for the reform of the environmental regulatory regime on Taiwan.

title: The South African Liberation Movements in Exile, c.1945-1970.
Creators: name: Lissoni, Arianna
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 2008

description: This thesis focuses on the reorganisation in exile of the African National Congress (ANC) and Pan-Africanist Congress (PAC) of South Africa during the 1960s. The 1960s are generally regarded as a period of quiescence in the historiography of the South African liberation struggle. This study partially challenges such a view. It argues that although the 1960s witnessed the progressive silencing of all forms of opposition by the apartheid government in South Africa, this was also a difficult time of experimentation and change, during which the exiled liberation movements had to adjust to the dramatically altered conditions of struggle emerging in the post-Sharpeville context. The thesis traces the roots and early history of the international networks of solidarity between South Africa and Britain from the time of the 1945 Pan African Congress to the founding of the British Anti-Apartheid Movement in 1960. It proceeds to examine the first attempts by the South African liberation movements to set up an external presence through the South African United Front, the causes of its demise and its legacy in terms of future unity. The establishment of the external mission of the ANC, its activities, and its relationship with host African countries vis-a-vis that of the PAC are analysed in detail. The research then focuses on problems of representation emerging from the gradual take-over of the ANC external mission as the sole representative of the whole of the Congress Alliance as a result of the Rivonia raid and trial. It is suggested that the internal debate between the ANC and its allies, most notably the South African Communist Party, signal a transition from the multi-racial approach of the 1950s to the creation of a unitary, non-racial liberation front. Issues of strategy and tactics arising from the decision to embark on a path of armed struggle in the early part of the decade are also analysed, including the state of affairs within the ANC's armed wing, Umkhonto we Sizwe, and the complex relationship between military and political structures. Finally, the parallel development of the PAC in exile is reviewed, and some of its distinctive features are compared and contrasted to those of the ANC.
title: British Attitudes to Indian Nationalism 1922-1935.
Creators: name: Sudhir, Pillarisetti
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1984

description: This thesis is essentially an analysis of British attitudes towards Indian nationalism between 1922 and 1935. It rests upon the argument that attitudes created paradigms of perception which conditioned responses to events and situations and thus helped to shape the contours of British policy in India. Although resistant to change, attitudes could be and were altered and the consequent paradigm shift facilitated political change. Books, pamphlets, periodicals, newspapers, private papers of individuals, official records, and the records of some interest groups have been examined to re-create, as far as possible, the structure of beliefs and opinions that existed in Britain with regard to Indian nationalism and its more concrete manifestations, and to discover the social, political, economic and intellectual roots of the beliefs and opinions. The first chapter is an introductory discussion of attitudes considered as ideological correlates of imperialism. The second chapter deals with British views on the working of Dyarchy in India and Indian demands for further reforms. British reactions to the rise of militant nationalism and the controversy over the Simon Commission are analysed in the third chapter. The fourth chapter is primarily an examination of the responses to the first civil disobedience campaign and the Gandhi-Irwin Pact. The fifth and sixth chapters analyse the debate on the White Paper, the activities of some pressure groups, the role played by the State in moulding public opinion, and the discussions leading up to the 1935 Act. The seventh and final chapter draws together the threads and sets out the conclusions derived from this study.

description: The results of the 2016 Alaska Fisheries Science Center's (AFSC) bottom trawl survey of the groundfish and invertebrate resources of the eastern Bering Sea upper continental slope (EBSS) are presented. The 2016 EBSS survey is the sixth standardized biennial groundfish bottom trawl survey of this region. One-hundred eighty-nine successful survey bottom trawls were conducted between 200 and 1,200 m depth on the eastern Bering Sea slope. The survey area extended from Unalaska and Akutan Island in Alaska (54° N) to the U.S-Russian maritime boundary at 61° N. Sampling was stratified by six subareas running south to north and by five depth strata within each subarea. Stations were chosen randomly and target sampling density was proportional to the area in each stratum. Mean sampling density was approximately one tow per 173 km2 . This report provides estimates of biomass in metric tons (t), population number, and catch per unit effort (CPUE; no./ha and kg/ha) for all taxa identified on the survey. Size frequencies (42 species) and CPUE distribution plots (41 species) are presented for the most abundant species or species of commercial interest. The five fish species with the greatest estimated survey biomass were giant grenadier (Albatrossia pectoralis), Pacific ocean perch (Sebastes alutus), popeye grenadier (Coryphaenoides cinereus), walleye pollock (Gadus chalcogramma) and arrowtooth flounder (Atheresthes stomias).
title: Contact and Controversy Between Islam and Chirstianity in Northern India, 1833-1857: The Relations Between Muslims and Protestant Missionaries in the North-Western Provinces and Oudh.
Creators: name: Powell, Avril Ann
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1983

description: In the period 1833 to 1857 some 'ulama from the three north Indian cities of Lucknow, Agra and Delhi were drawn into open controversy with Protestant missionaries in the region. Initial contacts which began in Lucknow in 1833, were turned into prolonged and bitter encounter in the North-Western Provinces, by the dissemination from Agra of publications against Islam by a German Pietist missionary, the Reverend Carl Pfander. The two-fold objective of the thesis is to throw light on the backgrounds and motives of his 'ulama opponents, and to examine the types of argument they used in response to his evangelical challenge. The response came initially from some Lucknow Shi'i 'ulama, and in the second stage from some Muslim residents of Agra who served in the East India Company's subordinate services, notably in clerical capacities in the law courts. By the early 1850s concern had spread to some prominent Sunni 'ulama of Delhi who were led by Maulana Rahmat Allah Kairanawi and a Bengali medical doctor, Muhammad Wazir Khan. An examination of the arguments which were used by the 'ulama shows that although the 'Mohammedan controversy' drew on some traditional objections to Christianity, a number of new as well as local factors determined the emphasis which was placed on claiming the irrationality of Christianity and the corruption of its scriptures. Important here was the 'ulama's contact with recent European biblical criticism which they utilized in their own attacks on the Bible. A debate held in Agra in 1854, which was hailed as a victory by the Muslims, marked the climax of religious controversy during this era. Within three years the risings of 1857 in north India, in which some of the leading controversialists were implicated, rendered both 'ulama and missionaries unable or reluctant to re-open the controversies.
title: Social and Economic Change in Southern Malawi: A Study of Rural Communities in the Shire Highlands and Upper Shire Valley From the Mid-Nineteenth Century to 1915.
Creators: name: Vaughan, Megan Anne
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1981

description: This study of rural economic and social change in a small area of Southern Malawi begins by examining the nature of society and production there in the early nineteenth century and the changes wrought by immigration into the area and by increasing involvement in long-distance trading. It then goes on to examine the nature of the early colonial economy, the structural ambiguities of which affected the lives of Africans in different parts of the country in diverse ways. Two separate geographical areas are then dealt with in detail. The study traces the effects on societies in the Shire Highlands of the dislocations of the late nineteenth century, and the development of an estate economy in the early twentieth century. The demands of the latter for land and labour gave rise to a number of changes in the structure of African production in the area, including the adoption of new food crops and the intensification of female labour. In the Upper Shire Valley and on the Chilwa plain a wide variety of economic structures emerged in the early twentieth century, some showing more continuity with the the nineteenth century than others. The effects of colonial economic policies were less clear-cut here, ranging from the establishment of a peasant cotton industry, to the development of a labour tenancy system similar to that found on the Highlands. The final chapter deals with these diverse changes thematically by examining changes in agricultural production within the African societies here, changes in kinship, family and 'tribal' structures, and finally the changing nature of economic and social stratification.

title: A History of the Catholic Church in East Malaysia and Brunei (1880-1976).
Creators: name: Rooney, John
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1981

description: In 1976, by the decree Quoniam Deo Favente, Pope Paul VI erected the Roman Catholic ecclesiastical Province of East Malaysia, embracing the Archdiocese of Kuching, Sarawak, and its two suffragan sees, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, and Miri, Sarawak. Previous to 1880 the influence of the Catholic Church on this part of Borneo was negligible. This study traces the events that brought about the establishment of the Catholic Church in East Malaysia and treats of these events in five different sections. First, it considers the contribution of the Mill Hill Missionaries and the leaders of the Church. Second, it examines the development of religious institutes within the local Church. Third, it describes the processes of expansion and maturing by which the local Church learned to stand on her own feet. The fourth section considers the Church's contribution to social changes in Borneo, that reached out beyond its own immediately internal concerns, especially linguistic studies, educational work, medical services and socio-economic projects. The final section examines the relations between the Church and the various governments that have ruled Sarawak and Sabah since 1880. It explores their many points of common interest and the issues that brought them into contention at times. The study concludes by gathering together the threads of the previous parts to illustrate that the Province of East Malaysia is a viable ecclesiastical unit that has retained its communion with the universal Church and has developed her own distinctly local character.

title: The Role of the State and Episodes of Growth and Stagnation in the Indian Economy, 1951-2004.
Creators: name: McCartney, Matthew
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 2007

description: This thesis begins my making a critique of the orthodox approach to analysing economic growth. In particular using medium-run averages hides an important empirical reality of growth in developing countries. These are the episodes of growth and stagnation that actually characterise such growth. In addition there are severe empirical and theoretical problems with uncovering any such link through cross-country regressions. This thesis makes the case for using case-studies and looks at the specific case of India since independence. The thesis uses an empirical approach to define a number of episodes of growth or stagnation. The quantitative aspects relate to changes in average growth of GDP or its components, agriculture, industry or services, or at an even more disaggregated level such as heavy industry. The qualitative aspects relate to issues relevant for the sustainability of growth and stagnation, these include productivity, and the diversification and volatility of output growth. Episodes of growth or stagnation are here defined as a significant change in both the quantitative and qualitative nature of growth relative to a developing country's (India's) own history. This thesis finds that there are four aggregate episodes of growth and stagnation in post-Independence India. These are, the break in economic growth from colonial stagnation after 1951, industrial stagnation from 1965 to 1980, the increase in economic growth after the late 1970s/early 1980s, and a continued episode of growth after reforms beginning in 1991. These are the four case studies focused on in the main empirical section of this thesis. In order to analyse these four episodes of growth and stagnation this thesis makes a case that there is a crucial role for the state either in promoting and sustaining an episode of growth, or the constraints on it leading to an episode of stagnation. These are firstly, the financial role of the state is in allocating the economic surplus to those able to invest productively. Secondly, the role of the state with regard production is to ensure financial resources so allocated are used productively, to either raise productivity in an existing market niche (learning) or upgrade to a higher technology market niche. Finally there are the institutions necessary to mediate the relationship between conflict and economic growth. In this thesis a broad institutional perspective is considered. A repressive state, an inclusive state or an ideological state can help reduce the negative implications of conflict on development. These three factors, the financial and productive roles of the state and institutions are used to frame the analysis of each of the four episodes of growth and stagnation in the post-independence Indian economy.

title: The Japanese Treaty Ports 1868-1899: A Study of the Foreign Settlements.
Creators: name: Hoare, James Edward
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1970

description: The opening of Japan to foreign residence brought not only the same system of treaty ports and foreign settlements as had developed in China to solve the problem of the meeting of two very different cultures, but also led to the same people who had known the system in China operating it or living under it in Japan. The events of l859-l869 gave foreigners fixed ideas about the Japanese which subsequent changes could do little to alter. The foreign settlers quickly abandoned any ideas they may have had about making close contact with the Japanese. They preferred to recreate as near as possible the life they had lived in Europe or America, The main prop of this was extraterritoriality, which shielded them from Japanese laws. It was not a very efficient system and increasingly it worked against foreigners' own interests. Yet they demanded its continued existence, although the Japanese had made it clear by 1880 that they wished to see a complete end to it, and by 1886 the foreign powers were ready to agree to this. Extraterritoriality bedevilled foreign attempts to run their own municipal affairs, and except at Kobe, all such attempts proved failures. It also led to a loss of interest in the expansion of trade, for the Japanese made it clear that the price for this was the end of extraterritoriality. The foreign-language press was, apart from trade, the one major foreign contributor to Japan's modernisation, but it provided a poor service to foreign settlers. It was far too dependent on its subscribers ever to be really independent. The treaty ports themselves came to an end in 1899, but the foreign settlement ethos lingered on until the 1923 earthquake and the second world war finally killed it.
title: Early Shi'ite Mysticism: Imamology and the "Ghulah" Tradition.
Creators: name: Carney, Seth Lauchlin
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 2007

description: In this research, we explore the early Imami Shi'i Muslim hadith literature, the mystical teachings related to Imamate and Imamology therein, and their relationship to the religious beliefs held by the Shi'i "extremist sects" (the ghulah). My argument is that the early Imami hadith literature's understanding of Imamate and Imamology bears great resemblance to many (not all) of the doctrines held by these "ghulah". The doctrines of the ghulah developed separately from early Husaynid legitimism; these doctrines did not begin to come together until the time of the Imam Muhammad al-Baqir. The main texts under discussion are al-Kafi of Muhammad ibn Ya'qub al-Kulaynl Ar-Razi and the Basa'ir ad-Darajat of as-Saffar al-Qummi, as these texts best represent the early period of Imami Shi'ism, before the Mu'tazilah began to exert a greater influence over Imami doctrine and significantly "rationalize" many aspects of Shi'i doctrine. The first chapter of the thesis deals with the hadith literature itself, listing the texts under discussion and presenting information about their authorship and structure. The second chapter explores the "extremist" sects of early Shi'ism (the ghulah), in order to define the body of beliefs that were and continue to be classified as "extreme". The third chapter deals with the vast body of Imami hadiths concerning the Divinity or semi-Divinity of the Imams. The fourth chapter then discusses the specific doctrine of tafwid, which posits the Imams as a kind of demiurge who rules over creation. The fifth chapter deals with "extremist" antinomianism. In the sixth chapter, another doctrine commonly associated with the "extremists" is discussed: the belief that the 'Uthmanic codex of the Qur'an was tampered with by the Prophet Muhammad's companions. In the conclusion, the violent suppression of many of the ghulab in the period subsequent to the Twelfth Imam's Occultation is discussed, as well as a final survey of the findings made in the research.

Creators: name: Lambton, Ann K S
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1939

description: After an introductory chapter on the territorial structure of the Great Seljuq Empire, the thesis aims at describing various Seljuq institutions, and the conditions under which they developed. The functions of the central government, the military organisation and the position of the Turkish aimirs to the state are discussed. An outline is given of provincial government and local administration, and some aspects of urban life are briefly examined. The last chapter deals with the attitude of the Great Seljuqs towards the caliphate. In giving a general outline of some of the most important features of the Great Seljuq period, an attempt has been made to present a more detailed account of these institutions than has been hitherto available.

description: This Thesis sets out to consider the effects of law on the status of a political party, namely the United National Independence Party in Zambia, and to determine the extent and nature of its role. There is no doubt that political parties are important social and political institutions although not much has been written about their legal origins, status and role. Constitutional lawyers prefer to avoid any reference to political parties if they can. This thesis examines some legal aspects of the evolution and role of the United National Independence Party. The study consists of eleven Chapters. Chapter I traces the historical development of political parties in the Commonwealth and looks at some definitions of 'political party'. Chapter II sets out the historical background to the constitutional development of the Republic of Zambia. Chapter III sets out the legal framework within which the United National Independence Party emerged and operates to-day. Chapter IV examines some changes in the Constitution of Zambia that brought about the central role of the United National Independence Party. The Chapter looks also at the mode the Party is organized and its top leadership is chosen. Chapter V examines the role of the United National Independence Party in public administration and Chapter VI looks at Public Law under a One-Party system. The relationship between the Party and Parliament is considered in Chapter VII. The relationship between the Party and Local Authorities is considered in Chapter VIII. The relationship between the United National Independence Party and the labour movement (trade unions) is considered in Chapter IX. The role of the Party in the formulation and implementation of foreign policy is considered in Chapter X. Chapter XI contains the Conclusion.
title: Land and Society in North Bihar, India: Agrarian Relations in the Later Nineteenth Century.

description: The thesis discusses the origin and development of land ownership, tenancy and labour, and the pattern of economic organization, in North Bihar. These questions are considered both in terms of the relation between production and rural trade, and in regard to tenancy and other laws of British administration. The attempt is to make an over-all estimation of agrarian relations in the region. This includes the value of land, the rent system, the nature of the proprietary interest, and the social and economic gap between the upper and lower classes of the population. In particular, the intention is to describe the historical current in the structure of society, land tenure, production and subsistence. Did the condition of the lower classes as revealed in the courses worsen in relation to the condition of the agricultural community as a whole? Was there a rise in population, and if so with what effect? What was the impact of tenancy legislation from the point of view of changes in the condition of the agricultural classes? How important was government policy generally in relation to the agrarian society of Bihar? The thesis concludes, among other things, that institutional factors and social and economic ideas were responsible for the development and maintenance of the social hierarchy. The conditions of the lower classes worsened, as their rights were not increased. Government legislation at first ignored tenant rights too, but later improved the position of occupancy tenants. The internal market continued to be controlled by landed proprietors or local merchants, but their external interests, in towns and trade, increased their desire to control the village economy.
title: Legal Aspects of Decentralisation of Government in the Sudan.

description: The Sudan is afflicted by continuous and increasing problems of nation-building arising from the significant cultural, linguistic, religious and historical diversity of its citizens. Decentralisation of government has, of late, been identified as a possible solution. The thesis examines the legal aspects of the policies of decentralisation of government in the Sudan from the colonial period to the present time. After an historical survey of the earlier period, the thesis concentrates upon decentralisation policies and programmes implemented after the May revolution of 1969. The constitutional provisions for decentralisation of government in the constitutions of 1968 and 1973 are examined, with reference to the earlier constitutional arrangements, including those made for independence in 1956, which contained no such provisions. The concept, objectives and history of decentralisation of government in the Sudan are also examined. At the theoretical level, the types and forms of decentralisation generally, are considered. The distinction between "delegation" and "devolution" as forms of decentralisation are examined. An attempt is made to identify the principal motives for policies of decentralisation. These include the achievement of national unity and the promotion of popular participation in government. Some comparative references are made in order to illuminate the important aspects of decentralisation. Particular attention is given to the problems of implementing decentralisation policies between 1971 and 1985. The discussion focusses upon: the organization of decentralised governments; the scheme of power-sharing between central, regional and local governments; the relationship between central and regional governments and between regional and local governments. The financial arrangements for the decentralised governments especially their ability to budget and raise revenue, and their capacity for effective financial management are among the problems discussed. Other topics considered include the staffing of decentralised governments, problems of physical infrastructure and the constant questions of the extent of the central government intervention and the role of traditional rulers. The character and quality of political support for decentralised policies is analysed. The prospects of decentralisation in the Sudan are considered in the light of these problems and in the context of the latest developments. In conclusion, it is submitted that an appropriate form of decentralisation of government which must involve substantial devolution of powers to the regional governments is an essential condition for the stability and security in the Sudan. However, recognition of this fact accompanied by political compromises are the vital conditions without which decentralisation will remain incomplete.

title: Law and Agricultural Development in Zambia.

description: Agriculture occupies a very important place in the Zambian economy as a source of foreign exchange and as a source of food. Whatever the explanations that have been offered for low productivity - droughts, excessive rains etc., the legal framework for agriculture has been a relevant factor even though it has received the least attention from lawyers and economists alike. Law and development studies have only assumed importance in the last twenty years, that is, since the attainment of independence of many African countries. This thesis seeks to add to the growing literature on the effect of law on the agricultural development of Zambia. It is divided into five substantive chapters and a conclusion. The thesis opens with a general introduction showing the manner in which the colonial government used the law to encourage the development of a viable agricultural base from the time it assumed control from the British South Africa Company, through the depression years to the period leading up to independence. Chapter Two examines the land tenure systems that relate to agricultural land on State Land (formerly Crown Land). After independence government intervention through the land reforms of 1975 was calculated to give the State greater powers of land control. While the government has taken active steps to ensure the development of State Land, it has avoided interference with customary systems of landholding in the Reserves and Trust Land. Chapter Three, therefore, examines the systems of landholding in the Reserves and Trust Land and evaluates the same in the context of agricultural development. It also draws attention to the need for government to extend control to these areas and to provide a proper legal framework to enable those who are dissatisfied with customary land tenure to obtain documentary titles to land. In order to speed up agricultural development, the role of the State has been extended to the provision of credit and marketing facilities. Chapter Four examines government credit policy as contained in policy statements as well as through the operation of its own specialised credit institutions and includes a discussion of the importance of various forms of security to all categories of farmers. Chapter Five examines the use by the government of statutory boards to control the production and marketing of agricultural commodities and the purposes of such control. The final chapter attempts to outline the reasons for the limited success of Zambian government policy in this area and demonstrates the limited role of law and legal solutions in promoting agricultural development. The law is dated as of March, 1987.

description: First-Person-View (FPV) holds immense potential for revolutionizing the trajectory of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), offering an exhilarating avenue for navigating complex building structures. Yet, traditional Neural Radiance Field (NeRF) methods face challenges such as sampling single points per iteration and requiring an extensive array of views for supervision. UAV videos exacerbate these issues with limited viewpoints and significant spatial scale variations, resulting in inadequate detail rendering across diverse scales. In response, we introduce FPV-NeRF, addressing these challenges through three key facets: (1) Temporal consistency. Leveraging spatio-temporal continuity ensures seamless coherence between frames; (2) Global structure. Incorporating various global features during point sampling preserves space integrity; (3) Local granularity. Employing a comprehensive framework and multi-resolution supervision for multi-scale scene feature representation tackles the intricacies of UAV video spatial scales. Additionally, due to the scarcity of publicly available FPV videos, we introduce an innovative view synthesis method using NeRF to generate FPV perspectives from UAV footage, enhancing spatial perception for drones. Our novel dataset spans diverse trajectories, from outdoor to indoor environments, in the UAV domain, differing significantly from traditional NeRF scenarios. Through extensive experiments encompassing both interior and exterior building structures, FPV-NeRF demonstrates a superior understanding of the UAV flying space, outperforming state-of-the-art methods in our curated UAV dataset.
