title: Survey of the southern provinces of Cambodia in the pre-Angkor period.
Creators: name: Kuoch, Haksrea
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1976

description: Recent archaeological excavations in various parts of South East Asia have brought abundant, fresh material to scholars. Consequently, new ideas and hypotheses have been put forward by those who work in this particular field of studies. In Cambodia, prior to the recent tragic events, a number of new sites have been discovered. Fresh evidence has come to light and eventually led scholars to reconsider some views hitherto accepted as established, The present "Survey of the Southern Provinces of Cambodia in the pre-Angkor period" aims to be a re-examination of the archaeological and some epigraphical material available in the hope of seeing whether it is possible as yet to establish any relation between the numerous sites and to provide a preliminary sketch of the culture of the area. The scope of the present work is limited geographically to certain southern provinces of present day Cambodia, namely Kandal, Kampong Speu, Takeo, Kampot and Prey Veng; it also includes the deltaic area of South Vietnam from which only some of the most important sites will be considered. Chronologically, the period involved is that commonly known as Funan and pre-Angkor periods, which run roughly from the 1st to the 8th century A.D. The work consists of a study of various archaeological remains and other sculptures so far found on, or near the sites. Attempts will be made to date them more closely in the light of recent research. Inscriptions found in the vicinity of the area will be examined in order to try to relate them to the other data. While examining epigraphic documents efforts will he made to see whether there are any possible connections between place names mentioned in the inscriptions and those of the present day. This kind of historical geography is mainly concerned with names involving topographical features such as water tanks, lakes, hills, mounds, forests which still persist abundantly in many parts of Cambodia, particularly in the province of Takeo.

Note sullo sviluppo preimmaginale in Drusilla italica (Bernhauer) (Coleoptera Staphylinidae Aleocharinae)
Creators: name: De Marzo, Luigi

description: SOME NOTES ON DRUSILLA ITALICA (BERNHAUER) PREIMAGINAL DEVELOPMENT (COLEOPTERA STAPHYLINIDAE ALEOCHARINAE)

Data were acquired in the laboratory by feeding both adults and larvae of D. italica with crashed soil- dwelling Crustacea. More than 100 eggs were discharged from the end of March to mid-May by 4 females kept in a jar. All eggs hatched 4-5 days after. Larval development required 32-35 hours for the first instar, 32- 35 hours for the second instar, 6-7 days for the third instar. Pupal time was 11-12 days long. Mature larvae did build a pupal cell by assembling small ground portions held together by silken threads; then, they spun a silken cocoon on the cell walls; in every case, they spun silk by their pygopodium.

Although D. italica produces somewhat large eggs, it exhibits 3 larval instars as other Aleocharinae; however, it does show only poor morphological variations among its different larval instars. Moreover, increasing of larval length is somewhat moderate, if compared with other species of the same subfamily.

Paper is dedicated to the memory of the clever entomologist James S. Ashe.
 Key words: eggs, postembryonic development, pupal cell, silken cocoon, larval size increasing.

Viene illustrato lo sviluppo preimmaginale nell’aleocarina D. italica (Bernhauer), sulla base di dati ottenuti in laboratorio a partire dallo stadio di uovo. I tempi di sviluppo sono stati valutati come segue: 4-5 gg. per l’uovo, 32-35 ore per la larva della prima età, 32-35 ore per la larva della seconda età, 6-7 gg per la larva della terza età, 11-12 gg per la pupa. Viene descritto in dettaglio il comportamento delle larve durante la fabbricazione della cella pupale e del bozzolo.

Lo sviluppo larvale di D. italica si svolge in 3 età come nella generalità delle Aleocharinae, ma presenta due prerogative specifiche, verosimilmente legate alla rilevante grandezza delle uova: (1) incremento modesto della taglia corporea da un’età all’altra, rispetto ad altre specie della stessa sottofamiglia; (2) assenza di variabilità ontogenetica nella forma e nella grandezza delle appendici del capo e degli urogonfi.

La nota è dedicata alla memoria dell’illustre entomologo James S. Ashe, scomparso di recente.

Parole-chiave: uova, sviluppo postembrionale, cella pupale, bozzolo, incremento dimensionale.

title: Pakistan: A geopolitical analysis (1947-1974).
Creators: name: Syed, Arif Hassan
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1976

description: The main theme of the study is to examine and analyse aspects of the political geography of Pakistan in some detail. The secondary objective is to relate the course of events in Pakistan's foreign relations and boundary problems, to the socio-economic and political conditions of Pakistan and her people as a whole. The study also endeavours to evaluate the inter-regional disparity in Pakistan. The Partition of the Subcontinent and its effects are analysed in detail with special reference to the Radcliffe Awards. Geopolitically Pakistan emerged as a dislocated state with a variety of inherent problems e.g., defence, political incoherence, economic and administrative disparities. Moreover, the birth of Pakistan was subjected to the tremendous psychological disadvantage that she would find herself in great economic distress and that its vulnerability in politicoeconomic fields would inevitably lead towards her eventual collapse. Pakistan pursued an independent but active policy until 1954, and endeavoured to forge closer relations with countries of West Asia without jeopardising her relations with any of the big powers. However, in 1954 Pakistan chose a path of alignment with the western powers and entered into a number of bilateral and multilateral defence pacts in view of her geopolitical compulsions. The study demonstrates that newly independent states, especially states which are geographically discontiguous such as Pakistan, are put Tinder severe social, political and military pressures. In case such a state fails to achieve a measure of national unity and lacks a cohesive force, then the very existence of her separate regions might he threatened. In the case of Pakistan the bilateral and multilateral defensive arrangements became non-productive even counter-productive as was demonstrated during the Indo-Pakistan wars of 1965 and 1971.
title: The changing pattern of mobility and migration of the Amarar tribe of Eastern Sudan.
Creators: name: Milne, Janet Catherine Murray
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1976

description: This work, based on fieldwork among the Amarar tribe of Eastern Sudan in 1972, investigates their changing pattern of mobility and migration. The harsh geographical environment in which the Amarar have traditionally lived as pastoral camel-herding nomads is described, and the new aspect of their lives by which due to recent ecological pressures, they have been moving to settle in or around local villages and nearby towns; especially Port Sudan where many have become dockworkers. The fieldworker concentrated on one group of Amarar, the Musayab, and followed their movements both in the rural, village and urban environments. The village markets are essentially nomad-orientated with Amarar taking up crafts and trade. In the towns the majority of the Amarar see their stay as temporary. Despite overcrowding and changes in their economic structure, their orientation is essentially based on traditional nomadic norms. The segmentary lineage system on which their leadership principles and general coherence are based, continues to be essential for dispute settlement in urban as in rural areas. Particular cases involving blood vengeance, theft and land are discussed. Though these disputes often take place in the rural areas, their settlement is essential for the restoration and maintenance of peaceful relations in the town. Furthermore endogamous marriage patterns continue to unite tribesmen throughout the Amarar area. Whilst the maintenance of the segmentary lineage system gives stability to the Amarar political system, despite rapid economic change, their basic beliefs in the power of a remote Islamic God act as an anchor for their whole social structure. The ability of their belief system to incorporate hew spiritual media from sufism to fortune telling, gives security through flexibility and an additional impetus to the vitality of the tribe.
title: The emergence and development of Dobhasi literature in Bengal up to 1855 A.D.
Creators: name: Mannan, Kazi Muhammad Abdul
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1964

description: The purpose of this thesis is to trace the emergence of a mixed diction in Bengal and its development as a vehicle of literature. The mixed diction which was much later to be known as Dobhasi sprang from the mixture of two cultures - Muslim and Hindu. The first two chapters are concerned with political and social changes in Bengal after the arrival of the Muslim invaders. Note has been made of the new literary themes, many of them drawn from the literatures of Arabia and Persia which were introduced in Bengal by poets of Islamic faith from the 14th century onward. It has been pointed out that these themes are quite different from the themes handled by Hindu poets. In Chapter III reference, is made to the first appearance in Bengali literature of a mixed diction which derived part of its vocabulary from Bengali and Sanskrit and part from Arabic and Persian. This mixed diction is first observed in. the compositions of Hindu poets Contemporary Muslim writers used Bengali exclusively except for occasional passages in Brajabuli. Chapter IV outlines the adoption of mixed diction by Muslim poets and contains a brief summary of the works which were written in it. In Chapters V, VI and VII a detailed examination is made of the principal poets of the 18th and 19th centuries and of the language and subject matter of their major works. The remainder of the thesis is devoted to a critical Analysis of Dobhasi diction and the literature which was written in it. In Chapter VIII report is made of the opinions of earlier critics. In: Chapter IX the problem of the origin of the name 'Dobhasi' is considered. Chapter X deals in some detail with the influence of Arabic, Persian and Hindustani on Bengali language and Chapter XI reviews the attitudes of Muslim society towards the language both of speech; and literature. Chapter XII surveys the tradition of literary diction in India and the place of Dobhagi in that, tradition. Chapter XIII is a summary of the history of the growth of Dobhagi from its first beginning in the 14th century to its acceptance as a literary language in the 19th.
title: The methods and techniques of the early Arab anthologists.
Creators: name: Mustafa, Ezzedin Ibrahim
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1963

description: The aim of this study is to provide a critical survey of the early Arabic anthologies compiled between the end of the first century and the beginning of the fourth century A.H. These are s four consisting of complete poems (treated in chs. 1 - 4), four of extracts (chs. 5-6), and three of single verses (ch. 7). Although it seemed convenient and preferable to group these anthologies in this way, they have been studied individually. In chapter 7, however, the anthologies of single verses have also been studied collectively. The study of each anthology opens with an enquiry about the work as it now exists. This usually entails reference to the various recensions, editions, manuscripts and commentaries known and available. This is followed by a threefold study of (1) the subject matter, (2) the authenticity of' the work and genuineness of the contents and (3) the criteria of selection and method of compilation. In the epilogue, reference is made to eight anthologies compiled between the fourth and seventh centuries - thus pointing to the continuity of this kind of works. From these investigations, conclusions have been drawn about the anthologies as a whole - their development, preservation, reliability, criteria of excellence, and other striking features, A critical survey;- of the kind provided has not been made before, and it covers several works not previously studied.
Valutazione della fecondità in uno stafilinide di origine esotica: Paraphloeostiba gayndahensis (Macleay) (Coleoptera Staphylinidae Omaliinae)
Creators: name: De Marzo, Luigi

description: FECUNDITY EVALUATED IN THE EXOTIC ROVE-BEETLE, PARAPHLOEOSTIBA GAYNDAHENSIS (MACLEAY) (COLEOPTERA STAPHYLINIDAE OMALIINAE)

Data were obtained in jars by feeding both adults and larvae of P. gayndahensis with mouldy orange peel; they refer to the number of adults that single females are able to generate within 23 days. This does correspond to the minimum time for the development of egg, larvae and pupa at the room temperature of 21±1°C and was detected within the test itself.

Adults tested in jars (n=50) were collected on fallen oranges in a farm of southern Italy; they included 20 females. Each of the latter did generate from 9 to 84 adults of both sexes (average: 30,8). Strains of 50 or more adults derived from 3 females. Although some jars provided a pronounced exceeding of one sex, a somewhat balanced sex ratio (0,92:1) was obtained in total.

In Italy, P. gayndahensis is an exotic species of Australian origin; as already known from the literature, it exhibits a very extended reproductive period and is able to reproduce in plant debris of different origin. Results of this test suggest high fecundity to be a further important parameter of its invasive power.

Key words: laboratory test, strain of single females.

La sperimentazione è stata organizzata in modo da valutare il numero di adulti generati da singole femmine di Paraphloeostiba gayndahensis (Macleay) tenute ad ovideporre per 23 giorni. Questo è il tempo minimo richiesto per lo sviluppo preimmaginale, dall’ovideposizione allo sfarfallamento, alla temperatura- ambiente di 21±1°C. Nei terrarî, adulti e larve sono stati cibati con un pezzo di buccia di arancia marcescente.

In tutti i terrarî contenenti una femmina (=20) si sono verificati sia lo sviluppo delle larve sia numerosi sfarfallamenti. Dalle singole femmine è stato ottenuto un numero di adulti variabile da 9 a 84, con una media di 30,8. Una progenie di 50 o più adulti è stata ottenuta in 3 terrarî. La sex-ratio totale è risultata vicina all’unità.

L’autore ritiene che l’elevata fecondità sia uno dei parametri di successo di questa specie di origine australiana. Altri due parametri, già evidenti dai dati in letteratura, sono: (a) la capacità di proliferare in cumuli di detriti vegetali di varia origine, (b) la notevole ampiezza del periodo riproduttivo.

Parole-chiave: prova di laboratorio, progenie di singole femmine.

Durata della diapausa nelle neanidi di Haplothrips simplex (Buffa) (Thysanoptera Tubulifera)
Creators: name: De Marzo, Luigi
Publisher: name: Entomologica
Year: 2016

description: DIAPAUSE LENGTH EVALUATED IN HAPLOTHRIPS SIMPLEX (BUFFA) NEANIDES (THYSANOPTERA TUBULIFERA)

Neanides of H. simplex were extracted from Calendula arvensis L. capitula in early May and kept for starving in vials filled with damp peat. Several of them (n=261) moulted into prepupae within the subsequent summer, from mid-July to early September. Development of the subpupal stage was monitored on 75 individuals; it required a variable number of days for each instar: 1-3 for prepupae, 1-3 for pupae I, 4-6 for pupae II. Moults to adult stage started in July 29th and completed in following September.

Results show that diapause of H. simplex neanides doesn’t extend more than some 120 days; it is somewhat short if compared with that of Haplothrips niger (Osborne) neanides, where it does extend to 11 months, as reported in the literature.

Key words: diapause length, subpupal instars, adult emergence.

Numerose neanidi di II età del tubulifero Haplothrips simplex (Buffa) sono state raccolte su capolini di Calendula arvensis L. (Compositae) agli inizi di maggio in una località della Puglia; in laboratorio, esse sono state introdotte in tubetti con torba umida per valutare la durata della loro diapausa. Inoltre, effettuando osservazioni giornaliere su singoli individui (n=75), sono stati rilevati i tempi di sviluppo delle età di prepupa, pupa I e pupa II.

Infine, è stato accertato che le neanidi di H. simplex attraversano un periodo di diapausa della durata massima di circa 120 giorni e che la specie sverna esclusivamente nello stadio adulto. A confronto, nel congenere H. niger (Osborne) lo svernamento coinvolge anche le neanidi, che in parte restano in diapausa per quasi 11 mesi.

Parole-chiave: durata della diapausa, subpupe, epoca di sfarfallamento.

title: Early Southern Arabian languages and classical Arabic sources: A critical examination of literary and lexicographical sources by comparison with the inscriptions.
Creators: name: Ghul, Mahmud Ali
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1963

description: This is a study of the material which is stated or claimed to be of South Arabian origin or directly associated with South Arabia as attested in the lexica of classical Arabic and in other sources of classical Arabic which treat of usages attested in pre-Islamic and early Islamic poetry, traditions or texts. The purpose is to examine this material by comparison with the linguistic and, lexicographical information now available from Epigraphic South Arabian (ESA) material. The material attested in the Arabia sources for this purpose hasbbeen divided into four Categories: Abyssinian, Himyari, and Yamani, according to the language or dialect of original claimed for them, and, then usages occuring in South Arabian contexts. The material under the first three categories has been investigated thoroughly, while the material under the last category, that of the south Arabian context, has been left out from the detailed examination, accept for a brief discussion and for few usages selected as specimen and because they are related to usages discussed elsewhere in this study. Much of this material proved to be incomparable with ESA material, either because the usages in the Arabic sources derive from roots not attested in ESA, which is the majority of the canes or because the usage from comparable roots, ESA are completely different But in over eighty, cases, discuss and here in articles by roots, the material in the Arabic sources shows varying degree resemblance In a considerable number of cases the corresponding usages in both materials proved to be exact equivalents.

description: FURTHER DATA ON THE LIFE-CYCLE OF THE CYPRESS THRIPS, ANKOTHRIPS MAVROMOUSTAKISI PRIESNER (THYSANOPTERA AEOLOTHRIPIDAE)

Data were acquired in the laboratory, by keeping several neanides of A. mavromoustakisi in jars filled with damp peat. Neanides were collected in early March on flowering evergreen-cypress branches in a locality of southern Italy. Many second-instar items built their cocoon on the jar bottom and starved up to the following September. All prepupae did formed from 22th to 29th September and moulted into pupae after 3-4 days. Because the development of pupae lasted out 13-14 days, all adults formed within the first October half. Adults used to stay in their cocoons for 10-60 days; therefore, they left very gradually the peat ground from mid-October to mid-December. Likely, this behaviour of adults causes in the field a gradual colonisation of cypress branches; possibly, it allows most emerging adults to avoid climatic periods unfavourable to colonisation.

Altogether, 7 males and 307 females were obtained in jars. This very low rate of males (nearly 2%) does agree with the sex ratio previously reported for a field population in southern France (nearly 1%); therefore, it does confirm A. mavromoustakisi as a true spanandric species.

Key words: diapause length, prepupae, pupae, development time, spanandry.

Le osservazioni sono state svolte mantenendo in terrario numerose neanidi di A. mavromoustakisi Priesner raccolte agli inizi di marzo, su chiome di Cupressus sempervirens L. in fase di emissione del polline. I risultati precisano: (a) la durata della diapausa delle neanidi, (b) i tempi di sviluppo di prepupe e pupe, (c) il periodo di fuoriuscita dei neosfarfallati dai bozzoli, (d) la sex-ratio negli sfarfallamenti.

L’autore ritiene che questa fuoriuscita graduale degli adulti dal suolo conferisca agli adulti il vantaggio di eludere possibili eventi climatici sfavorevoli durante la colonizzazione autunnale delle chiome del cipresso. È stato accertato che la rarità dei maschi in A. mavromoustakisi dipende dalla sex-ratio negli sfarfallamenti. Infatti, diversamente da quanto è noto per altri tripidi, A. mavromoustakisi non presenta una “falsa spanandria”, derivante da una bassa longevità dei maschi oppure da un’occasionale produzione di maschi per partenogenesi.

Parole-chiave: durata della diapausa, prepupe, pupae, tempi di sviluppo, spanandria.

title: Turkey and her Arab neighbours 1954-1958.
Creators: name: Sanjian, Ara G.K.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1996

description: Turkey's determined attempt after 1954 to improve her relations with the Arab world should be seen in the context of a wider search for security against the perceived Soviet threat to her independence and territorial integrity. It was encouraged by Washington's proposal to set up a Middle East defence organisation based on the countries of the 'Northern Tier,' which paved the way for the creation of the Baghdad Pact with Turkish, Iraqi, British, Iranian and Pakistani membership. The USA, however, ultimately declined all invitations for full pact-membership. Her equivocal attitude encouraged Egypt and Syria not only to resist all attempts to lure them into the pact but also to embark on a determined counter-policy to block the adherence of other non-committed Arab states. The thesis argues that Turkish leaders failed in their' rather high-handed bid to expand the pact's Arab membership and to isolate Egypt because they were ill-informed about the latest political trends in the Arab world and ignored any alternative and differing advice coming from then diplomatic missions and lower echelons in then Foreign Ministry. Moreover, none of Turkey's allies were fully convinced that her proposals were necessarily the best on offer. The thesis also tries to shed light on some of the alternative policies attempted by Turkey after the Suez war to stem the tide of pro-Communist and radical pan-Arab nationalist tendencies in the region. It argues that the toppling of the Iraqi monarchy, despite being a short-term setback for Turkey, proved in the long run to be a panacea to her attempts to retain her alliance with NATO and preserve in the meantime a workable relationship with her Arab neighbours. It also discusses Turkey's changing attitude towards Israel and the Palestine question as well as the changes in the official Turkish evaluation of'Abd al-Nasir's policies.
title: Intra-household resource allocation and child nutrition in Mukono District, Uganda.
Creators: name: Goudge, Jane
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1999

description: This thesis initially reviews the current state of economic theory on the intra-household allocation of resources. It examines the 'game theory' framework within which the models are constructed, suggesting that such a framework, as yet, has been unable to deal with the complex combination of power, altruism, and trust that lead to the conflictual/cooperative nature of spousal relationships. It examines the problems of constructing indices of power, and suggests a way in which, in this particular case, some of the problems may be overcome. Using qualitative and quantitative evidence from Uganda, the thesis describes how bridewealth, division of household assets on death or divorce, attitudes to women earning an income and accumulating assets, and marital violence effect the financial relationship and the balance of power between spouses. Issues such as household budgeting systems, secrecy, female participation rates, and division of responsibility for household expenditure are seen as important elements of this relationship. Data collected on child nutrition is used to examine the impact that these factors have on child welfare.
title: The political history of Northern India before and during the reign of Harsa (cir. A.D. 550-650).
Creators: name: Devahuti
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1956

description: We commence our work with an appreciation of the important indigenous and foreign sources on our subject - the works of Bana and Hsuan-tsang. Chapter two deals with the rise and growth of some important kingdoms of the period, those of the Later Guptas, the Maukharis, the Maitrakas and Sasanka, with whom the Vardhanas came into conflict to gain the supremacy of northern India. Chapter three traces the early history of the Kings of Sthaanvisvara, giving an account of Prabhakaravardhana's campaigns, the short career of Rajyavardhana, and Harsa's succession to the throne of his paternal kingdom. The next chapter discusses Harsa's achievements and set-backs in the military sphere, indicating the varying degrees of control he exercised over the different parts of his extensive empire. Chapter five, on Harsa's administration, first briefly traces the development of some important political concepts which gave to medieval Indian institutions their distinctive character. It then attempts to fill in some details in the structure, built with the help of contemporary sources, of the administrative machine, as it may have been at work in Harsa's reign. The last chapter, material for which has been obtained almost entirely from the Chinese original sources, gives an account of the diplomatic exchanges between Harsa and the T'ang emperor T'ai Tsung, as well as a glimpse of the disorderly conditions that developed soon after Harsa's death, in a part of the country which was once under his supremacy. Questions relating to the Harsa era and Harsa's coins are examined in two appendices, while a third gives the text and translation of Harsa's Madhuban copperplate. A map is appended showing India in the age of Harsa.

ABERRAZIONI DI POLYGONIA C-ALBUM L. E BRENTHIS DAPHNE L. (LEP. NYMPHALIDAE) RINVENUTE IN ITALIA MERIDIONALE
Creators: name: Parenzan, Paolo
Publisher: name: Entomologica
Year: 2016

description: This work describes two aberrations of Lepidoptera Nymphalidae caught in Southern Italy. The first one is a male of Polygonia c-album L. hutchinsoni Robson (Pict. l) which was caught on August the 8th 1971 at Gambarie (3900 ft) in Aspromonte.

Morfologically it shows a more indented wing-margin which gives the wings a more scythed look.

Cromatically the upperside of the fore-wings presents a complete fusion of the black spots except in a basai and centrai area retaining the typical reddish colour, and in a lighter apical area with ochreous shades. The upperside of hind-wings is of an omogenous reddish brown, with darker shades in the centre and a yellowish dusting in the proximal area.

The undersides are of a uniform blackish brown with a shining surface, as in the variety carbonaria Vrty., with a black spot in the piace of the light area between the centrai distai and the subterminal systems.

The ocellar system is formed by a chain of whitish spots. Similar aberrations are

the cloqueti Clément, the su.ffusa Frohawk, the P-album Esper and the ones described by ENGRAMELLE and GIRARD.

The second aberration concerns four specimens (two males and two females) of Brenthis daphne Schifi. ;apygia Stdr., (Pict. 2) caught in different years in the Park of the Pianelle (1100-1200 ft) in the province of Taranto (Puglia).

description: Chemical tests for controlling Aonidiella aurantii (Mask.) on lemons trees were carried out in Sicily in the summer of 1974.

Hydrocyanic acid fumigation gave the best disinfestation; the activated oils also gave very good contro!, while minerai oil alone showed less persistent insecticide activity. Ali the treatments had a negative effect on the ectophagous parasites (Aphytis spp.) of this armored scale.

Si espongono i risultati di prove di lotta chimica per mezzo di irrorazioni con oli  bianchi da soli ed attivati e di fumigazioni cianidriche, condotte in Sicilia su limone contro l'Aonidiella aurantii (Mask.) nell'estate del 1974.

Dai risultati conseguiti si può concludere che le fumigazioni cianidriche, ove siano realizzabili, assicurano i migliori risultati nella disinfestazione delle piante.

Statisticamente analoghi ai precedenti, tuttavia, si sono dimostrati anche gli effetti delle irrorazioni con oH attivati, mentre risultati parzialmente soddisfacenti si sono avuti con l'impiego dell'olio minerale da solo.

Nel corso dei controlli realizzati è emerso, purtroppo, un effetto negativo di tutti i tipi di trattamenti eseguiti nei riguardi dei parassiti ectofagi (Aphytis spp.) della cocciniglia.

description: The ultrastructure of the egg and of the follicle cells of Phytoptus avellanae Nal. (Acarina: Eriophyoidea) was examined by transmission electron microscopy with special regard to the mechanism of the production and the accumulation into the oocyte of yolk and lipoid substances.

The follicle cells show endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi bodies, mitochondria and many vesicles which might be interpreted as containing secretory products. Secretory vesicles originate from mitochondria which are composed of numerous layers of electron-dense lipoid and often containing one or several yolk or lipoid droplets. In addition to those < myelin fìgures », there were numerous mitochondria with ordinary cristae and dense matrix and also partly myelinated mitochondria losing their cristae. Basing on these observations we can conclude that the secretory substance is originated from myelinated mitochondria and fìnally lipoid and yolk globules are formed. The accumulation of the secretory substance into the oocyte was by pinocytotic mechanism and by pores of vitelline membrane.

Gli autori descrivono gli aspetti ultrastrutturali dell'uovo e delle cellule follicolari di un Acaro Eriofìde: Phytoptus avellanae Nal. che vive nelle gemme del Nocciolo determinando ipertrofìe a carico delle stesse. Lo studio delle ultrastrutture delle cellule uovo e follicolari appare di notevole importanza poiché ha messo in evidenza, soprattutto a carico dei mitocondri, variazioni strutturali che dimostrano la loro evoluzione sino alla formazione, da una parte, di corpi lipidici e, dall'altra, di granuli di vitello (questa ultima trasformazione è certa solo per i mitocondri delle cellule follicolari). Un'ulteriore evoluzione dei mitocondri è quella che porta alla formazione di complessi mitocondriali del tipo delle condriosfere. Sono stati messi in evidenza fenomeni trofìci da parte delle cellule follicolari rispetto alle cellule uovo con il passaggio di materiale di riserva attraverso i pori della membrana vitellina e mediante fenomeni di pinocitosi. Il materiale trofìco è rappresentato soprattutto da lipidi, da granuli di glicogeno e, in modo più abbondante, da granuli di vitello che nelle cellule uovo diventano più evidenti come placche vitelline.

description: FUNCTIONAL DIVERSITY OF THE GROUND BEETLES (COLEOPTERA, CARABIDAE) ON LAMA BALICE NATURE RESERVE (PUGLIA, ITALY)

Preliminary information about population of Ground Beetles (Coleoptera Carabidae) of Natural Regional Park of Lama Balice (South Italy, Bari) are reported here. Study of species composition and dominance structure pointed out presence of few dominant species. Analysis of sampled vegetation macro-units (or habitats) highlighted that functional diversity of sampled ground beetles community showed valuable differences in structural and functional features of communities between different habitats. In the “macchia- gariga” (shrub-garrigue) there was an increase of feeding-opportunistic species and we found sole seedeaters. In the “ vegetazione erbacea di fondo lama” (grass vegetation of deep lama) we found specialised predators.

Key word: biodiversity, functional groups.

Con il presente lavoro sono state fornite informazioni preliminari inerenti il popolamento di Coleotteri Carabidi presenti all’interno del Parco. La struttura di dominanza, descrive una comunità con poche specie dominanti (Laemostenus cimmerius cimmerius F.; Pterostichus melas italicus D.; Calathus fuscipes graecus D.; Pseudoophonus rufipes D.). La diversità funzionale della carabidofauna campionata, evidenzia cambiamenti delle caratteristiche strutturali e funzionali, nella serie di “macrounità o habitat vegetazionali” investigate nell’ecotopo del Lama. La variazione, evidenzia che nella macchia-gariga si ha un aumento degli opportunisti alimentari, e compaiono i spermofagi esclusivi. Nella vegetazione erbacea di fondo lama ritroviamo i predatori zoofagi specializzati.

Parole chiave: biodiversità, parametri adattativi, guild.

description: Cloud environments can provide elastic, controllable on-demand services for supporting complex distributed applications. However the engineering methods and software tools used for developing, deploying and executing classical time critical applications do not, as yet, account for the programmability and controllability that can be provided by clouds, and so time-critical applications do not yet benefit from the full potential of virtualisation technologies. A software workbench for developing, deploying and controlling time-critical applications in cloud environments can address this, but needs to be able to interoperate with existing cloud standards and services in a fashion that can still adapt to the continuing evolution of the field. Semantic linking can enhance interoperability by creating mappings between different vocabularies and specifications, allowing different technologies to be plugged together, which can then be used to build such a workbench in a flexible manner.

A semantic linking framework is presented that uses a multiple-viewpoint model of a cloud application workbench as a means to relate different cloud and quality of service standards in order to aid the development of time-critical applications. The foundations of such a model, developed as part of the H2020 project SWITCH, are also presented.

title: History of the Candellas of Jejakabhukti.

Year: 1954

description: The history of the Candellas was first traced by Smith in an article in 1908 and then by Dr. H.C. Ray in a chapter of his Dynastic History of Northern India, Volume II, in 1935. These two scholars gave only a very brief political history of the dynasty with cursury references to other aspects of Candella history. This is the first effort to trace the full history of the Candellas with the help of inscriptions, contemporary literary works, Moslem sources, monographs and a large number of articles with important bearing on the Candellas. Besides the political history, I have discussed the administrative system, social, cultural and religious life in the Candella kingdom in detail. I have also tried to point out the significance of the Candellas in relation to the general history of India, and the history of Central and northern India in particular. The first chapter traces the origin, and early history of the dynasty. The second and third chapters deal with its rise under Harsa and Yasovarman and its supremacy under Dhanga and Vidyadhara. The fourth chapter discusses the decline of the Candellas and their revival under Kirtivarman. The fifth chapter traces their history from the reign of Madanavarman to their final collapse. The administrative, socio-economic, religious and cultural history of the dynasty is discussed in chapter VI and VII. The significance of the Candellas and their contribution to Indian history has been pointed out in the last chapter. Finally, in the Appendix, a critical estimate of the traditional sources has been made, and a few unpublished Candella inscriptions have been included with facsimilies.
title: Comparative study of traditional political organisation of Kerala and Punjab.

description: The problem of the thesis is the relationship of caste, or caste systems, to forms of political organisation, before the bureaucratic centralisation of the British had made caste politically irrelevant in formal terms. Anthropological studies of caste indicate that there was a multiplicity of chiefs usually belonging to one caste, spread over a region, and having relatively intense political interaction with each other. Two traditional systems are examined in detail. These are Kerala up to 1792 and Punjab up to 1848. Both systems have a social stratification into castes. Kerala has the typical Hindu caste system, polarised in terms of purity and pollution between Brahmins and Untouchables. It was relatively independent of external political opposition till 1792. Punjab, subject to greater political flux, also has a stratification into castes, but the bases of stratification are not so clearly formulated in terms of purity and pollution, and there is a significant development of a sect - the Sikhs - who denied stratification into castes. Such denial served a purpose in organising the system against external political opposition - from the Muslims - but did not successfully abolish such stratification. In both systems, there existed a political system characterised by the dispersal of power among chiefs of one or two castes who interacted closely with each other in relationships of conflict or alliance. Various factors contributed to the containment of conflict among the segeral competing chiefs. Competition for power was confined to the chiefs. It never occurred between social strata. The system of dispersal of power gave way to a politically centralised system in South Kerala from 1729 and in Punjab from 1790. In both cases, one of the competing chiefs annihilated and absorbed rival chiefs. A small initial advantage in resources was strengthened by them by the use of mercenary armies and a salaried administrative cadre, instead of the hereditary warriors and hereditary officials characteristically used by the chiefs in the older system. The local centralisation in the two regions failed to displace the earlier system, as did the pre-Islamic Hindu empires with their wider centralisation. In every case, the caste stratification persisted. Caste stratification, where it provides the only system of ranking, is incompatible with centralisation. Factionalisation or dispersal of power is its necessary political concomitant.
