description: The common occurrence of dams is a major threat to riverine fish communities globally and a common remediation technique for fragmented fish communities is fishway construction. Demonstrating the effectiveness of this technique on impacted species is required to rationalise or improve management practices. This study investigates the effects of the installation of a fishway complex on the catadromous common galaxias (Galaxias maculatus) population at a catchment scale. We used electrofishing in a before-after-control-impact design to investigate the effects of the installation of a rock-ramp and a vertical-slot fishway complex on this species. This study demonstrated an increase in the relative abundance of common galaxias of 7.6–28.1 times and a shift to higher proportions of small fish in tributaries upstream of the fishway complex (as far as 90 km upstream). These findings provide strong evidence for the efficacy of the installation of fishways to increase the number of catadromous fishes in rivers where fish migrations have been blocked by dams.

description: To establish if highly eutrophic lakes generate higher N2O emissions than non-eutrophic aquatic environments in New Zealand, we monitored N2O emissions from hypereutrophic Lake Horowhenua, near Levin, and the oligotrophic Turitea dam reservoir, near Palmerston North, used as control. Based on more than 12 months of monitoring data, N2O emissions from Lake Horowhenua were estimated to −0.05–6.93 mg-N2O·m−2·d−1 (n = 66), with a median of 0.30 mg-N2O·m−2·d−1. At the Turitea reservoir, N2O emissions ranged from −0.02–1.51 mg-N2O·m−2·d−1 with a median of 0.15 mg-N2O·m−2·d−1 (n = 53). No correlation was found between N2O emissions and the water temperature, sunlight, dissolved oxygen, nutrient concentration or chlorophyll a. When extrapolating the emission data to NZ, we estimated NZ lakes could release 83 kt of N2O as CO2eq each year, which is low in comparison to other sectors such as agriculture. Following the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change methodology, the N2O emission factor for Lake Horowhenua was estimated at 0.0019 kg N2O-N per kg of N-NO3− input into the lake.
title: Tribal Unrest on the South-West Frontier of the Bengal Presidency, 1831-1833.
Creators: name: Jha, Jasdish Chandra
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1961

description: This thesis is an attempt to study the tribal unrest of 1831-33 on the south-west frontier of Bengal in all its aspects - its origins, progress, pacification, nature and aftermath. There are two distinct phases of this unrest - the first among the Mundas, the Oraons and other tribal people of Chota-Nagpur, which eventually spread among the Bhumijes of Patkum in the east, and among the Cheros and the Kharwars of Palaman in the west; the second among the Bhumijes of the Jungle Mahals and of Dhalbhum in the Midnapur district. Where clarity requires the two phases are studied separately. The thesis is in nine chapters. Chapter one deals with the penetration of the British into the Jungle covered hills of Midnapur and Burdwan districts, and with the early risings and disturbances In these areas. Chapter two is concerned with the British connection with the Ramgarh district. As in chapter one the geography, the anthropology and political history of the area are outlined, and the effects of a complex alien administration upon a tribal society are examined. In chapter three the outbreak, progress and suppression of the first phase of the unrest, that in Chota-Nagpur, Palamau and Patkum is described. Chapter four analyses the circumstances which led to that rising. Chapter five turns to the outbreak and progress of the second phase of the unrest, in the Jungle Mahals, and the civil and military operations by which order was restored are described. Chapter six again provides an analysis of the immediate origins of the rising. and traces the important feuds within the ruling family. Chapter seven examines the nature of the risings by a consideration of the type of victims chosen for attack. Chapter eight deals with the measures taken to restore order and to solve the immediate problems created by the risings. Chapter nine reviews the major re-organisation of the tribal areas into a Non-Regulation Agency.

description: Objective: Using a driving simulation task, compare driving skills of individuals with ALS who are still driving with driving skills of healthy controls (HC). Currently, there is no literature on driving capacity of individuals with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). Safe driving requires coordination of attention, motor, and executive functions. Because ALS presents with progressive weakness and potential cognitive impairment, it is necessary to assess motor and cognitive capacity during driving.

description: By developing the mean-field theory valid for large $N$, we investigate the problem of two light fermions interacting via a zero-range potential with $N$ heavy fermions in two dimensions. We obtain numerical evidence that this system is never fully bound. It always splits into droplets containing a single light atom. This is in contrast to the one-dimensional case where any number of heavy and light fermions can be bound together.

description: In this work, we choose the diquark-antidiquark type four-quark currents with an explicit P-wave between the diquark and antidiquark pairs to study the ground states and first radial excitations of the hidden-charm tetraquark states with the quantum numbers $J^{PC}=1^{--}$. And we obtain the lowest vector tetraquark masses and make possible assignments of the existing $Y$ states. There indeed exists a hidden-charm tetraquark state with the $J^{PC}=1^{--}$ at the energy about $4.75\,\rm{GeV}$ as the first radial excitation to account for the BESIII data.

description: This paper reports the first observation of a giant kōkopu (Galaxias argenteus) spawning site in a tidal waterway and illustrates the usefulness of DNA barcoding for opportunistic discoveries that in this case involved the collection of a single egg. We describe key characteristics of the spawning site and compare them with the only other recorded giant kōkopu spawning location which was found in a much different environmental context far inland. This is also a novel observation of giant kōkopu and īnanga (G. maculatus) spawning on the same section of riverbank. Eggs from the two species occupied the same vertical elevation band, which together the consideration of tidal heights and the egg development stage suggest that the spawning event was triggered by a tidal cue. We discuss the implications of more widespread giant kōkopu spawning in tidal waterways, including historical perspectives contributing to their decline and the potential to reverse these trends.

description: Improved two-body and three-body potentials for helium have been used to calculate from first principles the third density and acoustic virial coefficients for both $^4$He and $^3$He. For the third density virial coefficient $C(T)$, uncertainties have been reduced by a factor of 4--5 compared to the previous state of the art; the accuracy of first-principles $C(T)$ now exceeds that of the best experiments by more than two orders of magnitude. The range of calculations has been extended to temperatures as low as 0.5~K. For the third acoustic virial coefficient $γ_a(T)$, we applied the Schlessinger Point Method, which can calculate $γ_a$ and its uncertainty based on the $C(T)$ data, overcoming some limitations of direct path-integral calculation. The resulting $γ_a$ are calculated at temperatures down to 0.5~K; they are consistent with available experimental data but have much smaller uncertainties. The first-principles data presented here will enable improvement of primary temperature and pressure metrology based on gas properties.

The simplest model of a scalarized black hole in the Einstein-Klein-Gordon theory

description: We investigate scalarized black holes in the Einstein-minimally coupled scalar theory with a negative potential $V(ϕ)=-α^2ϕ^6$. The tachyonic instability is absent from analyzing the linearized scalar equation, which could not allow for spontaneous scalarization. However, we obtain the black hole solutions with scalar hair by solving three full equations because this scalar potential violates the weak energy condition. This shows clearly that scalarized black holes can be obtained without introducing a non-minimal scalar coupling term. We perform the stability analysis for scalarized black holes by adopting radial perturbations, implying that all scalarized black holes belonging to a single branch are unstable.

title: The Administration of Guntur District With Special Reference to Local Influences on Revenue Policy: 1837-1848.
Creators: name: Frykenberg, Robert Eric
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1961

description: Between 1837 and 1845, a silent combination of local forces benefited at the expense of the State. For lack of accurate information from the villages and lack of support from Madras, British officers lost control of their subordinates and their authority was weakened. Indian district officers, notably Maratha Brahmans under the leadership of the Sheristadar, supplanted the Zamindars. Acting in the name of Government, these officers became free from supervision and acquired the perquisites and dignities of power. The aura of divinity, the borrowed glow of the huzur, so clung to them that they could walk like giants. A daughter's marriage or the erection of a shrine by one of these officers would bring special contributions from the villages. But the villages often gained the better part of bargains with district officers. As village money spread a corrupting influence into ever higher levels of the hierarchy, the administration became caught in the webs of village influence. As in the story of Gulliver, the strength of the district was pegged to the earth by countless tiny threads, a captive of Lilliputian villages. Executive control over Guntur would not have faltered nor would policies have suffered paralysis had not local influences utilized remarkable sources of strength and had not central authority been weak and ineffectual. In short, local influences undermined central authority and thwarted State policy.

description: Pathogen genomes provide insights into their evolution and epidemic spread. We sequenced 1,439 SARS-CoV-2 genomes from Switzerland, representing 3-7% of all confirmed cases per week. Using these data, we demonstrate that no one lineage became dominant, pointing against evolution towards general lower virulence. On an epidemiological level, we report no evidence of cryptic transmission before the first confirmed case. We find many early viral introductions from Germany, France, and Italy and many recent introductions from Germany and France. Over the summer, we quantify the number of non-traceable infections stemming from introductions, quantify the effective reproductive number, and estimate the degree of undersampling. Our framework can be applied to quantify evolution and epidemiology in other locations or for other pathogens based on genomic data.

description: The van der Waals (vdW) layered multiferroics, which host simultaneous ferroelectric and magnetic orders, have attracted attention not only for their potentials to be utilized in nanoelectric devices and spintronics, but also offer alternative opportunities for emergent physical phenomena. To date, the vdW layered multiferroic materials are still very rare. In this work, we have investigated the magnetic structure and magnetoelectric effects in Co5(TeO3)4Cl2, a promising new multiferroic compound with antiferromagnetic (AFM) Neel point TN = 18 K. The neutron powder diffraction reveals the non-coplanar AFM state with preferred Neel vector along the c-axis, while a spin re-orientation occurring between 8 K and 15 K is identified, which results from the distinct temperature dependence of the non-equivalent Co sites moment in Co5(TeO3)4Cl2. What is more, it is found that Co5(TeO3)4Cl2 is one of the best vdW multiferroics studied so far in terms of the multiferroic performance. The measured linear ME coefficient exhibits the emergent oscillation dependence of the angle between magnetic field and electric field, and the maximal value is as big as 45 ps/m. It is suggested that Co5(TeO3)4Cl2 is an appreciated platform for exploring the emergent multiferroicity in vdW layered compounds.

title: Study of Urban life in Syria, 1200-1400.
Creators: name: Ziadeh, N. A.
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1950

description: During the 13th and 14th Centuries A.D. Syria was a battleground. Saladin started the ball rolling when he defeated the Crusaders in Hittin (1187). His immediate successors waged less serious wars against the Crusaders, but the Mamluks, established in A.D. 1250, carried the conflict to its logical end when in 1891 they wrested Acre from the Crusaders who satisfied themselves with the kingdom of Cyprus. These wars constitute only one aspect of the picture. The Tartars (Mongols) found their way to Syria in the 13th century and till the end of the 14th they remained a source of danger to the people of Syria. Their campaigns, battles, conquests etc. caused great damage in the country. Besides, the Mamluks fought against the kingdom of Armenia, and thus North Syria was the meeting place of the armies. Such wars led to the destruction of many aspects of Syrian life. Agriculture based on irrigation (rice, cotton, sugar-cane) almost disappeared from the country by A.D. 1400. Towns were completely or partly destroyed. Yet Syrian urban life seems to have some continuity, and towns revived, some quickly, some more slowly, while some towns survived the forces of destruction. The purpose of the present study is to analyse this continuity, and to attempt an explanation of it. This explanation will mean a study of the factors that controlled life in Syria in this period. These factors include the physical (geographical), the economic and the social. In some cases it would be necessary to cover an historical background in order to appreciate the development of a trend or an organisation. The town organisation will receive special attention because of its especial importance in determining the continuity of life. The anticipated contribution to knowledge of the subject may be summed up in (a) a study of civic organisations in Syria in the 13th and 14th centuries A.D. (b) an attempt to relate this organisation to the factors controlling the continuity of urban life, and (c) a possible definition of the relation between town and country in Syria during this period.

description: Temperate mesophotic ecosystems (TMEs) have only recently been recognised as distinct ecosystems and generally occur between 30 and 150 m at the limit of photosynthetic light penetration. In this study, we surveyed the benthic communities inhabiting rocky deep-water features in two regions at the south of New Zealand’s North Island to assess small (1–2 km) and larger (10–100 km) scale variation in the benthic communities they support: the Wellington South Coast (WSC) and the Kāpiti Coast (KC). We deployed Remotely Operated Vehicles at seventeen sites, three on the WSC and 14 on the KC, covering a depth range of 26 to 72 m. There was significant variation in the benthic community composition between sites, at both spatial scales, and with depth. Across all sites, sponges and bryozoans were by far the most abundant organisms, covering around 30% of the substrate, with all other groups having <5% cover. The sponges and bryozoans created complex three-dimensional structure on the seafloor, providing habitat and refuge for other mobile organisms. Our work provides an important baseline against which any future changes can be compared and will support future spatial management in this region.

description: Neoporphyra haitanensis is an important economic alga. A 3 × 2 factorial layout containing three nitrogen levels (1, 5, 10 mg L−1) and two phosphorus levels (1, 5 mg L−1) were designed to examine the effect of nitrogen and phosphorus levels on physiological responses of N. haitanensis conchocelis during growth phase (trial I) and development phase (trial II). In trial I, a higher phosphorus concentration inhibited the relative growth rate of N. haitanensis conchoceli at each nitrogen level. Contents of chlorophyll a and carotenoids were higher at high nitrogen level. Contents of phospholipids were higher at high phosphorus concentration at 5 mg L−1 nitrogen level. In trial II, high phosphorus concentration increased the formation of conchosporangia at 1 mg L−1 nitrogen level. Higher contents of phycoerythrin and phycocyanin were at high nitrogen level. Higher contents of phospholipids were at high phosphorus concentration at 1 mg L−1 nitrogen level. Higher contents of triglycerides were at low nitrogen level both in trial I and II. These results indicated that high nitrogen level increased the contents of pigment. High phosphorus level favoured the formation of conchosporangia and deposition of phospholipids. These results lay the groundwork for research into mechanism of growth and development of N. haitanensis.

Quite recently a certain edition(Shu Tsai-yang's) printed in the Ming dynasty was found by Prof. Sun K'ai-ti who discovered that the name of the author appears at the beginning of his 2nd vol. which reads "edited by Hsu Chung-lin, the Old Hermit of Chung-shan". But most of other scholars, including Dr. Hu Shih, Dr. Tung Kang and myself, doubted this very much, and in 1935, we discovered from other sources that this novel was compiled by a Taoist Lu Hsi-hsing in the reign of the Emperor Shih-tsung(Chia-ching) of the Ming dynasty. Yet the evidences given are again not enough because we knew only a little of the life of this author. I discovered later a very rare Ming edition of the work of one of Lu Hsi-hsing's contemporaries, Tsung Ch'en, and from it I have found out that there might be a counterpart to Lu Hsi-hsing in the novel who is named Lu Ya, the wonderful Taoist. Investigating again into other historical and geographical materials I can compose a vague but true biography of Lu, and by examining most of the poems in the novel I find they resemble to a great extent the life of its author. The discovery of Wu Wang Fa Chou P'ing-hua and Chuan 1 of the Lieh Kuo Chih Chuan in Japan serves to prove that Lu's novel was written based upon the earlier storytellers' work, but he wrote it in a different style, and enriched very much the con-tent. From the comparison made between the earlier materials and the novel, I have found that Lu added something to its content which again proves that only Lu would be qualified to do so. In my thesis I shall give detailed evidence about this discovery, illustrating which parts are the earlier scholars' or other contemporaries' work, and which parts are, my own contribution.

description: The quick spread of SARS-CoV-2 in Europe in early 2020 shocked the continent. The short time to prepare for the pandemic resulted in rising case counts and stressed health care systems, while the knowledge about SARS-CoV-2 transmission and disease was pressingly seeked. Understanding of viral dynamics is critical to efective public health strategies and prevention of future outbreaks. In this project, we study the spatial dynamics of the early spread of SARS-CoV-2 in Europe from SARS-CoV-2 genomes. We apply a novel approach based on the multitype birth death phylodynamic model to infer geographically structured epidemic trajectories in a Bayesian framework. We integrate several sources of information: genetic sequence data, geographic distance, international travel fows and confirmed case numbers, to better understand the entry into and early spread of SARS-CoV-2 in Europe. We estimate the date of the European outbreak origin to be January 16, 2020 (95% HPD interval December 29, 2019 to January 21, 2020) seeded by several imported cases from China. We fnd that local transmission is responsible for the majority of infections as early as February 2020 while the first confirmed cases were being reported, and we infer that a wide range of infection numbers are compatible with the European outbreaks described by the analyzed genetic sequences.
title: Abu Bakr ibn 'Ammar, His Life and Poetry.

description: Abu Bakr Ibn 'Ammar (422/1031-477/1084) was one of the most prominent poets and statesmen of Muslim Spain during the age of the Muluk al-Tawaif. He was born in the same year that witnessed the downfall of the Ummayyad dynasty and died only a few years before the start of the Almoravid regime in 484/1091. This thesis which deals with his life and poetry consists of an introduction and 15 chapters. The introduction deals mainly with the difficulties which face those who under-take Andalusian studies, namely the scarcity of information and contradiction. The most important sources of this thesis are also discussed in the introduction is considered. A plan for the thesis is also drawn here. Chapter one is a brief survey of the history of the period. Chapter two is a more detailed study of the poetic revival, its different phases, the causes that led to it, and the part which the Muluk al-Tawaif had played. The biography of Ibn'Ammar engages the next 8 chapters. As there has been no reliable biography for the poet, it was necessary in order to clear the obsurity which had wrapped his name and correct the erroneous conceptions about him, to make this biography from the original sources, making full use of his own poetry and that of his compatriots, the thing which was not given any real weight before. The last 5 chapters deal with his poetry. At first the opinion of the Andalusian critics about the poet was made clear, then their criteria was discussed so that their judgement might be clearly appreciated and the poet's place among the other Arab poets be shown. The poetical career of the poet has been followed in a special chapter in which the different factors which directed his composition were made clear. The themes of the poet, his imagery and diction and the value of his poetry as a source for the study of the age engage a long chapter. In the last chapter the different collections of his poetry, which have unfortunately been lost, are considered. The Arabic part of this thesis is a collection of his extant poetry, compiled from original sources. They are arranged according to the alphabetical order of their rhymes with a few explanatory footnotes.

description: Classifying public tenders is a useful task for both companies that are invited to participate and for inspecting fraudulent activities. To facilitate the task for both participants and public administrations, the European Union presented a common taxonomy (Common Procurement Vocabulary, CPV) which is mandatory for tenders of certain importance; however, the contracts in which a CPV label is mandatory are the minority compared to all the Public Administrations activities. Classifying over a real-world taxonomy introduces some difficulties that can not be ignored. First of all, some fine-grained classes have an insufficient (if any) number of observations in the training set, while other classes are far more frequent (even thousands of times) than the average. To overcome those difficulties, we present a zero-shot approach, based on a pre-trained language model that relies only on label description and respects the label taxonomy. To train our proposed model, we used industrial data, which comes from contrattipubblici.org, a service by SpazioDati s.r.l. that collects public contracts stipulated in Italy in the last 25 years. Results show that the proposed model achieves better performance in classifying low-frequent classes compared to three different baselines, and is also able to predict never-seen classes.

description: We investigate the statistics of the local time $\mathcal{T} = \int_0^T δ(x(t)) dt$ that a run and tumble particle (RTP) $x(t)$ in one dimension spends at the origin, with or without an external drift. By relating the local time to the number of times the RTP crosses the origin, we find that the local time distribution $P(\mathcal{T})$ satisfies the large deviation principle $P(\mathcal{T}) \sim \, e^{-T \, I(\mathcal{T} / T)} $ in the large observation time limit $T \to \infty$. Remarkably, we find that in presence of drift the rate function $I(ρ)$ is nonanalytic: We interpret its singularity as dynamical phase transitions of first order. We then extend these results by studying the statistics of the amount of time $\mathcal{R}$ that the RTP spends inside a finite interval (i.e., the occupation time), with qualitatively similar results. In particular, this yields the long-time decay rate of the probability $P(\mathcal{R} = T)$ that the particle does not exit the interval up to time $T$. We find that the conditional endpoint distribution exhibits an interesting change of behavior from unimodal to bimodal as a function of the size of the interval. To study the occupation time statistics, we extend the Donsker-Varadhan large-deviation formalism to the case of RTPs, for general dynamical observables and possibly in the presence of an external potential.

title: A Critical Edition of the "Kokilasandesaya" With an Introduction.
Creators: name: Sumanasuriya, K. T. W.
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1958

description: The Kokilasandesaya is one of the finest classical poems in Sinhalese Literature, and there has been a long-felt need for a good critical edition of the poem. The edition of the work here presented, is a collation of fourteen MSS of dates dates varying from the early eighteenth century to the early nineteenth century. The final text has been restored as nearly as possible to its archetype, but corruptions still do appear of necessity in one or two verses and in one or two prose passages. In noting variant readings, not much attention was paid to orthographical peculiarities. The general behaviour of the Kokila MSS in regard to orthography has been separately discussed with the criticism of MSS. Translations have been made as literal as intelligibility allowed, and the thesis itself makes no claim to literary style. An attempt has been made in the Introduction, in so far a literary appraisal is concerned, to help the reader to a full understanding of the poem. Both political and religious history of this 'dark period' have been worked out, as no modern historian has so far attempted a critical study of his nature. A deep investigation has also been made into special features of development in Sinhalese versification. Metre and Alamkara are discussed in detail as there are no separate treatises dealing with these matters. MSS are described, discussed and grouped into families. Indexes of Proper Names and Mythological Names, and a short glossary of uncommon words are appended. Apart from the restoration of the text by a process of diligent collation of MSS, several other interesting studies have been made and conclusions drawn: (i) The date of the Tisarasandesaya has been finally confirmed and there is now no doubt that this poem was composed during the reign of Parakrama Apa and not t an earlier date or at later date. (ii) The processes by which Parakramanahu VI unified the country have been ascertained, and the vexed question of Sangharajas has been settled. (iii) It has been made clear how the Elu of tans fifteenth century served as a basis for the modern Sinhalese Language. (iv) The fact that the main purpose of a sandesa was to make an occult composition in the nature of a message to be recited in a temple (or at a devalaya) has been brought out for the first time and thus it is possible to establish that occult verification had already begun in the four tenth century. (v) Interalia, the greatness of the poem and the poet have been established beyond all doubt.
title: The Structure of Power in North China During the Five Dynasties.

Year: 1957

description: The thesis examines the political factors in the structure of power in North China and the chief changes in this structure during the first half of the tenth century. The greater part of this period was dominated by the military governors and the administrators and army officers of their provinces. Through a survey of the main changes in North China, the thesis attempts to show that a) a number of ex-governors who had seized the throne laid the foundations of a new imperial court based on the organisation of their provincial governments, b) decisive changes occurred in the period 926-946 and c) the Emperor's Army which was established to deal with powerful governors became the basis of a new structure of power.
