description: This study investigates the (longitudinal) thermodynamic and structural characteristics of single-file confined square-well and square-shoulder disks by employing a mapping technique that transforms the original system into a one-dimensional polydisperse mixture of nonadditive rods. Leveraging standard statistical-mechanical techniques, exact results are derived for key properties, including the equation of state, internal energy, radial distribution function, and structure factor. The asymptotic behavior of the radial distribution function is explored, revealing structural changes in the spatial correlations. Additionally, exact analytical expressions for the second virial coefficient are presented. The theoretical results for the thermodynamic and structural properties are validated by our Monte Carlo simulations.

description: Giant artificial atoms are promising and flexible building blocks for the implementation of analog quantum simulators. They are realized via a multi-local pattern of couplings of two-level systems to a waveguide, or to a two-dimensional photonic bath. A hallmark of giant-atom physics is their non-Markovian character in the form of self-coherent feedback, leading, e.g., to non-exponential atomic decay. The timescale of their non-Markovianity is essentially given by the time delay proportional to the distance between the various coupling points. In parallel, with the state-of-the-art experimental setups, it is possible to engineer complex phases in the atom-light couplings. Such phases simulate an artificial magnetic field, yielding a chiral behavior of the atom-light system. Here, we report a surprising connection between these two seemingly unrelated features of giant atoms, showing that the chirality of a giant atom controls its Markovianity. In particular, by adjusting the couplings' phases, a giant atom can, counterintuitively, enter an exact Markovian regime irrespectively of any inherent time delay. We illustrate this mechanism as an interference process and via a collision model picture. Our findings significantly advance the understanding of giant atom physics, and open new avenues for the control of quantum nanophotonic networks.

description: We explore methods to generate quantum coherence through unitary evolutions, by introducing and studying the coherence generating capacity of Hamiltonians. This quantity is defined as the maximum derivative of coherence that can be achieved by a Hamiltonian. By adopting the relative entropy of coherence as our figure of merit, we evaluate the maximal coherence generating capacity with the constraint of a bounded Hilbert-Schmidt norm for the Hamiltonian. Our investigation yields closed-form expressions for both Hamiltonians and quantum states that induce the maximal derivative of coherence under these conditions. Specifically, for qubit systems, we solve this problem comprehensively for any given Hamiltonian, identifying the quantum states that lead to the largest coherence derivative induced by the Hamiltonian. Our investigation enables a precise identification of conditions under which quantum coherence is optimally enhanced, offering valuable insights for the manipulation and control of quantum coherence in quantum systems.

title: English Relations With Haidar Ali 1760-1782.
Creators: name: Ali, Belagodu Sheik
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1960

description: This is a study of the East India Company's relations with Haidar Ali of Mysore. As his state bordered on the Carnatic, and as his activities affected greatly the presidency of Madras, the policies of that presidency appear prominent in the study. Regard is also paid to his relations with the Company's home government as well as with the Bombay and Bengal Governments. English relations with Haidar Ali were dominated by the two wars which were fought during this period. The rise, the progress and the conclusion of these wars are discussed at some length. The rivalry between Haidar and the Nawab of the Carnatic, the ambitions of the neighbouring powers such as the Nizam and the Marathas, and the presence of other European powers, chiefly the French, influenced to a large extent the policies of the Madras government. These policies are studied in this thesis. Extensive use has been made of the Company's records, as also of the private papers of Robert Palk, Warren Hastings and Lord Macartney, together with the Orme Manuscripts and the French records in Paris.

description: As an emerging technology and a relatively affordable device, the 4D imaging radar has already been confirmed effective in performing 3D object detection in autonomous driving. Nevertheless, the sparsity and noisiness of 4D radar point clouds hinder further performance improvement, and in-depth studies about its fusion with other modalities are lacking. On the other hand, as a new image view transformation strategy, 'sampling' has been applied in a few image-based detectors and shown to outperform the widely applied 'depth-based splatting' proposed in Lift-Splat-Shoot (LSS), even without image depth prediction. However, the potential of 'sampling' is not fully unleashed. This article investigates the 'sampling' view transformation strategy on the camera and 4D imaging radar fusion-based 3D object detection. In the proposed LiDAR Excluded Lean (LXL) model, predicted image depth distribution maps and radar 3D occupancy grids are generated from image perspective view (PV) features and radar bird's eye view (BEV) features, respectively. They are sent to the core of LXL, called 'radar occupancy-assisted depth-based sampling', to aid image view transformation. We demonstrated that more accurate view transformation can be performed by introducing image depths and radar information to enhance the 'sampling' strategy. Experiments on VoD and TJ4DRadSet datasets show that the proposed method outperforms the state-of-the-art 3D object detection methods by a significant margin without bells and whistles. Ablation studies demonstrate that our method performs the best among different enhancement settings.

description: We consider the form of Hubble diagrams that would be constructed by observers in universes that are homogeneous but anisotropic, when averaged over suitably large length-scales. This is achieved by ray-tracing in different directions on the sky in families of exact inhomogeneous cosmological solutions of Einstein's equations, in order to determine the redshifts and luminosity distances that observers in these space-times would infer for distant astrophysical objects. We compare the results of this procedure to the Hubble diagrams that would be obtained by direct use of the large-scale-averaged anisotropic cosmological models, and find that observables calculated in the averaged model closely agree with those obtained from ray-tracing in all cases where a statistical homogeneity scale exists. In contrast, we find that in cosmologies with spaces that contain no statistical homogeneity scale that Hubble diagrams inferred from the averaged cosmological model can differ considerably from those that observers in the space-time would actually construct. We hope that these results will be of use for understanding and interpreting recent observations that suggest that large-scale anisotropy may have developed in the late Universe.

description: The topological phase transition in the Qi-Wu-Zhang model is studied using a real-space approach. An effective Hamiltonian for the topologically protected edge-modes in a finite-size system is developed. The topological phase transition is understood in terms of a global perturbation to the system which lifts the degeneracy of the edge-modes. The effective Hamiltonian method is also applied to a one-dimensional system with spatially varying hopping strengths to understand the impact of disorder on the edge-modes.

description: Residential buildings account for a significant portion (35\%) of the total electricity consumption in the U.S. as of 2022. As more distributed energy resources are installed in buildings, their potential to provide flexibility to the grid increases. To tap into that flexibility provided by buildings, aggregators or system operators need to quantify and forecast flexibility. Previous works in this area primarily focused on commercial buildings, with little work on residential buildings. To address the gap, this paper first proposes two complementary flexibility metrics (i.e., power and energy flexibility) and then investigates several mainstream machine learning-based models for predicting the time-variant and sporadic flexibility of residential buildings at four-hour and 24-hour forecast horizons. The long-short-term-memory (LSTM) model achieves the best performance and can predict power flexibility for up to 24 hours ahead with the average error around 0.7 kW. However, for energy flexibility, the LSTM model is only successful for loads with consistent operational patterns throughout the year and faces challenges when predicting energy flexibility associated with HVAC systems.

description: We theoretically investigate a three-dimensional weakly interacting Bose gas with one-dimensional Raman-type spin-orbit coupling at zero temperature. By employing an improved ansatz, including high-order harmonics in the stripe phase, we show that the critical transition from the stripe to the plane-wave phases is shifted to a relatively larger Rabi frequency compared to the prediction by previous work [Li, Phys. Rev. Lett. 108, 225301 (2012)PRLTAO0031-900710.1103/PhysRevLett.108.225301] using a first-order stripe ansatz. We also determine the quantum depletion and superfluid density over a large range of Rabi frequency in different phases. The depletion exhibits an intriguing behavior with a discontinuous jump at the transition between the stripe and plane-wave phases, and a maximum at the transition between the plane-wave and zero-momentum phases. The superfluid density is derived through a phase-twist method. In the plane-wave and zero-momentum phases, it is significantly suppressed along the spin-orbit-coupling direction and vanishes at the transition, consistent with a recent work [Zhang, Phys. Rev. A 94, 033635 (2016)2469-992610.1103/PhysRevA.94.033635], while in the stripe phase, it smoothly decreases with increasing Rabi frequency. Our predictions would be useful for further theoretical and experimental studies of the exotic supersolid stripe phase.

description: In this study, we present a concept of morphing structure -- featuring an arch mounted on a compliant base -- that can be reconfigured via snap-through buckling and leverages bistability to retain its morphed shape. We show that one-dimensional arrays of such units yield beam-like structures that, upon localized snapping, can attain multiple, morphologically distinct stable shapes. Units are modeled using discrete elastic rods, a reduced-order formulation for beams and beam structures, and the results are validated via experiments. We leverage our model to understand the influence of the geometrical design parameters on the response and final shape of a unit. We then show that the morphed shapes of arrays of units can be predicted by concatenating results of simulations on single units, and leverage this idea to inverse-design structures that can be snapped into target stable shapes. Ultimately, our work suggests an up-scalable way to create shape-retaining morphing structures with target stable shapes.

description: We present JWST/NIRCam observations of a strongly-lensed, multiply-imaged galaxy at $z=6.072$, with magnification factors >~20 across the galaxy. We perform a spatially-resolved analysis of the physical properties at scales of ~200 pc, inferred from SED modelling of 5 NIRCam imaging bands on a pixel-by-pixel basis. We find young stars surrounded by extended older stellar populations. By comparing H$α$+[NII] and [OIII]+H$β$ maps inferred from the image analysis with our additional NIRSpec IFU data, we find that the spatial distribution and strength of the line maps are in agreement with the IFU measurements. We explore different parametric SFH forms with Bagpipes on the spatially-integrated photometry, finding that a double power-law star formation history retrieves the closest value to the spatially-resolved stellar mass estimate, and other SFH forms suffer from the dominant outshining emission from the youngest stars, thus underestimating the stellar mass - up to ~0.5 dex-. On the other hand, the DPL cannot match the IFU measured emission lines. Additionally, the ionizing photon production efficiency may be overestimated in a spatially-integrated approach by ~0.15 dex, when compared to a spatially-resolved analysis. The agreement with the IFU measurements points towards the pixel-by-pixel approach as a way to mitigate the general degeneracy between the flux excess from emission lines and underlying continuum, especially when lacking photometric medium-band coverage and/or IFU observations. This study stresses the importance of studying galaxies as the complex systems that they are, resolving their stellar populations when possible, or using more flexible SFH parameterisations. This can aid our understanding of the early stages of galaxy evolution by addressing the challenge of inferring robust stellar masses and ionizing photon production efficiencies of high redshift galaxies.

Multiple Update Particle Filter: Position Estimation by Combining GNSS Pseudorange and Carrier Phase Observations
Creators: name: Suzuki, Taro
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: Robotics (cs.RO)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: This paper presents an efficient method for updating particles in a particle filter (PF) to address the position estimation problem when dealing with sharp-peaked likelihood functions derived from multiple observations. Sharp-peaked likelihood functions commonly arise from millimeter-accurate distance observations of carrier phases in the global navigation satellite system (GNSS). However, when such likelihood functions are used for particle weight updates, the absence of particles within the peaks leads to all particle weights becoming zero. To overcome this problem, in this study, a straightforward and effective approach is introduced for updating particles when dealing with sharp-peaked likelihood functions obtained from multiple observations. The proposed method, termed as the multiple update PF, leverages prior knowledge regarding the spread of distribution for each likelihood function and conducts weight updates and resampling iteratively in the particle update process, prioritizing the likelihood function spreads. Experimental results demonstrate the efficacy of our proposed method, particularly when applied to position estimation utilizing GNSS pseudorange and carrier phase observations. The multiple update PF exhibits faster convergence with fewer particles when compared to the conventional PF. Moreover, vehicle position estimation experiments conducted in urban environments reveal that the proposed method outperforms conventional GNSS positioning techniques, yielding more accurate position estimates.

title: Sierra Leone Family Law.
Creators: name: Smart, Henry Mathew Joko
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1973

description: This thesis concerns Sierra Leone Family Law. The law is examined from the viewpoint of the pluralistic system - general, Islamic and customary laws - applicable in the country. The thesis is divided into three Parts. This being a pioneering work, it is necessary to give first an explanatory outline of the country and its legal system and how family law works within that system. Part One, which contains four chapters, is devoted to this preliminary explanation. The Second Part deals with non-customary family law, It is mainly an analysis of the general law and Islamic law, but it also considers specific areas in family law in which there are conflicts in the pluralistic legal system. The highlights of this Part are: statutory marriage (Chapter 5); the essentials of a valid statutory marriage (Chapter 6); matrimonial relations (Chapters 7 and 8); matrimonial property (Chapter 9); matrimonial reliefs (Chapter 10); termination of marriage(Chapter 11); the parent-child relationship (Chapter 12); and succession to property under non-customary law (Chapter 13). Part Three discusses customary family law. The inform-at ion contained in this Part is derived partly from previous published and unpublished sources, and partly from the personal field investigations of the present writer. The method of exposition of the customary laws is by topics rather than by ethnic groups, though with each topic, ethnic/local variations are indicated where relevant. This Part begins with an introduction showing how the present writer collected his data on customary law. Chapter 14 examines the nature and character of customary-law marriage. Chapters 15 and 16 analyse the formation of a customary-law marriage and the essential requirements for such marriage respectively. The husband and wife/wives relationship in the compound/Polygamous family is dealt with in Chapter 17. Chapter 18 discusses the termination of a customary-law marriage. The parent-child relationship under customary law is examined in Chapter 19. Finally, Chapter 20, dealing with succession under customary law, concludes the thesis.

Biffi et al. 2006; Kampshoff 2013), liegen zu den Fragen, auf welche Weise im schulischen Alltag einer Primarklasse Differenzen in ihrer Verwobenheit hervorgebracht werden und inwiefern diese spezifische Privilegien und Benachteiligungen hervorrufen, im Vergleich zum bundesdeutschen Kontext im Bildungsraum Schweiz kaum Forschungen vor. Die Studie mit dem Titel „Schule macht Schüler*innen. Eine Untersuchung von Differenzkonstruktionen im Primarschulalltag“ (Mekacher, i. D.), welche die Basis für diesen Beitrag darstellt, beleuchtet doing-difference-Prozesse und die damit verbundene (Re-)Produktion von sozialen Ordnungen bzw. Ungleichheiten in schulischen Praktiken. Auf der Grundlage der ethnographischen Feldstudie soll der situativen Differenzherstellung, die den Erstklässler Max in den Blickpunkt rückt, nachgegangen und die Verschränkung der hervorgebrachten heterogenen Differenzlinien verdeutlicht werden.

Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1972

description: This thesis is concerned with the development and administration of Rhodesia's Criminal Law in the light of the country's historical development. Its aim is to discover whether the law as it stands today serves the best interests of the nation. It does not attempt to cover the entire field of criminal law and procedure but concentrates, instead, on highlighting aspects of the law in which there appears to be considerable need for modification if the welfare of all citizens is to be promoted. Part I summarises the historical development of the country since 1890. Particular emphasis is placed on political developments because many of the ensuing Chapters will show the strong bonds between political realities and the criminal law in Rhodesia. Part II analyses the system of courts and the rules of criminal procedure, demonstrating how closely they are modelled along English lines. Chapter Four deals specifically with the problem of Jury trials and shows the difficulties involved in transplanting a judicial system to a country with a completely different kind of society. Part III is devoted to Common Law offences against persons and property, showing how the Roman-Dutch common law has been modified by the courts to form Rhodesian Common Law. The strong influence of South African Judgements is also noted. Part IV discusses aspects of Rhodesian Criminal Law which reflect the tiny European population's control over the legislature. Chapter Twelve emphasises that the values of this powerful minority, although they may be at variance with the values of the majority of the population, have come to dominate important sections of Rhodesian Criminal Law, The study concludes with the hope that the citizens of Rhodesia will become more vigilant about the need to re-orientate their criminal law to serve the true interests of their nation.

Creators: name: Haraksingh, Kusha
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1973

description: The acquisition of the right to the revenue of Bengal by the East India Company in 1765 altered fundamentally the nature of the British connection with India. An important branch of Mughal government was now taken over by a trading corporation. But the change was not as dramatic as it might have been, for the British were content at first to work with the old Mughal system. Subsequently, they introduced a series of changes in revenue administration, but there was always a gap between policy as it evolved in Calcutta and practice in the districts of Bengal. This thesis seeks to examine the factors which contributed to create that gap with reference to one unit of the Bengal Presidency - Sylhet district. The opening pages deal with the remnants of the Mughal system in Sylhet and the peculiar environmental characteristics of the district. The scene having been set, the main body of the thesis is devoted to a consideration of the influence on the nature of revenue administration in the district of a succession of district officers. The interaction of these local officials with the central authorities at Calcutta on the one hand, and with their Indian subordinates and Sylhetti society on the other, is fully explored. The importance of the process of revenue settlement has been duly recognized and the several revenue settlements of Sylhet in the period 1765 to 1792 have been described. This study is concerned with day to day revenue administration in a difficult and remote frontier tract in a formative period of British rule. British experience in Sylhet had no recognizable impact on general policy, but, by the same token, plans or directives and resolutions emanating from the centre were not as influential in Sylhet as might be thought.

description: The operational space and global performance of plasmas with edge-localized modes (ELMs) suppressed by resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs) are surveyed by comparing AUG, DIII-D, EAST, and KSTAR stationary operating points. RMP-ELM suppression is achieved over a range of plasma currents, toroidal fields, and RMP toroidal mode numbers. Consistent operational windows in edge safety factor are found across devices, while windows in plasma shaping parameters are distinct. Accessed pedestal parameters reveal a quantitatively similar pedestal-top density limit for RMP-ELM suppression in all devices of just over 3x1019 m-3. This is surprising given the wide variance of many engineering parameters and edge collisionalities, and poses a challenge to extrapolation of the regime. Wide ranges in input power, confinement time, and stored energy are observed, with the achieved triple product found to scale like the product of current, field, and radius. Observed energy confinement scaling with engineering parameters for RMP-ELM suppressed plasmas are presented and compared with expectations from established H and L-mode scalings, including treatment of uncertainty analysis. Different scaling exponents for individual engineering parameters are found as compared to the established scalings. However, extrapolation to next-step tokamaks ITER and SPARC find overall consistency within uncertainties with the established scalings, finding no obvious performance penalty when extrapolating from the assembled multi-device RMP-ELM suppressed database. Overall this work identifies common physics for RMP-ELM suppression and highlights the need to pursue this no-ELM regime at higher magnetic field and different plasma physical size.

title: The Moplah Rebellion of 1921-22 and Its Genesis.
Creators: name: Wood, Conrad
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1975

description: This thesis is an attempt to interpret the rebellion staged in 1921-22 by part of the Muslim community of the Malabar District of the Madras Presidency, a community known as the 'Moplahs' or 'Mappillas'. Since, it is here argued, this challenge to British rule was a consequence of the impact of that power on social relations in rural Malabar starting with the earliest period of British control of the area, the genesis of the rising is traced from the cession of Malabar to the East India Company in 1792. Chapter 1 constitutes an investigation both of social relations in rural Malabar under the impact of British rule and of the limits of Moplah response under conditions in which rebellion was impracticable. Chapter 2 tries to elaborate the sources of tension between the Moplah and British rule and to demonstrate the conditions under which Moplah disaffection might assume the form of insurrection. Chapters 3 arid 4 seek to indicate how the Khilafat-non-co-operation campaign undertaken under the auspices of the Indian National Congress in Malabar in 1920-21 came to trigger the Moplah rebellion of 1921-22. Chapter 5 probes the foundation in interest of the association of the Moplah with the Malabar nationalist movement. Chapter 4 how the tensions of this association determined its fundamental character as one of the assimilation of the nationalist movement to Moplah prescription. Chapter 5 in analysing the salient characteristics of the 1921-22 rebellion attempts to show how much they were determined by traditional rural Moplah patterns of mobilisation rather than by those of the nationalist agitation of 1920-21.

description: Source detection in graphs has demonstrated robust efficacy in the domain of rumor source identification. Although recent solutions have enhanced performance by leveraging deep neural networks, they often require complete user data. In this paper, we address a more challenging task, rumor source detection with incomplete user data, and propose a novel framework, i.e., Source Detection in Graphs with Incomplete Nodes via Positional Encoding and Attentive Fusion (GIN-SD), to tackle this challenge. Specifically, our approach utilizes a positional embedding module to distinguish nodes that are incomplete and employs a self-attention mechanism to focus on nodes with greater information transmission capacity. To mitigate the prediction bias caused by the significant disparity between the numbers of source and non-source nodes, we also introduce a class-balancing mechanism. Extensive experiments validate the effectiveness of GIN-SD and its superiority to state-of-the-art methods.

title: The Development of Aden and British Relations With Neighbouring Tribes, 1839-1872.
Creators: name: Kour, Zaki Hanna

Year: 1975

description: In January 1839, the British occupied Aden for a number of reasons. These reasons and the early British contacts with the peninsula are discussed in the first two chapters of this thesis. During the period under study, Aden developed from a small poor village into a sizable town, a prosperous trading port, an important military and naval base and a vital communications centre. The factors and policies responsible for this development and the problems which had to be faced are dealt with in Chapters III-V. The British had no desire to use Aden as a base for expansion and wanted to keep contact with the interior to a minimum. However, for geographical, economic and political reasons, they could not avoid becoming involved with the neighbouring tribes. The last three chapters trace the course of Arab-British relations and analyse the factors which governed them.

description: X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measures core-electron binding energies (CEBEs) to reveal element-specific insights into chemical environment and bonding. Accurate theoretical CEBE prediction aids XPS interpretation but requires proper modeling of orbital relaxation and electron correlation upon core-ionization. This work systematically investigates basis set selection for extrapolation to the complete basis set (CBS) limit of CEBEs from $Δ$MP2 and $Δ$CC energies across 94 K-edges in diverse organic molecules. We demonstrate that an alternative composite scheme using $Δ$MP2 in a large basis corrected by $Δ$CC-$Δ$MP2 difference in a small basis can quantitatively recover optimally extrapolated $Δ$CC CEBEs within 0.02 eV. Unlike $Δ$CC, MP2 calculations do not suffer from convergence issues and are computationally cheaper, and, thus, the composite $Δ$MP2/$Δ$CC scheme balances accuracy and cost, overcoming limitations of solely using either method. We conclude by providing a comprehensive analysis of the choice of small and large basis sets for the composite schemes and provide practical recommendations for highly accurate (within 0.10-0.15 eV MAE) ab initio prediction of XPS spectra.

description: It was recently shown that (near-)extremal Kerr black holes are sensitive probes of small higher-derivative corrections to general relativity. In particular, these corrections produce diverging tidal forces on the horizon in the extremal limit. We show that adding a black hole charge makes this effect qualitatively stronger. Higher-derivative corrections to the Kerr-Newman solution produce tidal forces that scale inversely in the black hole temperature. We find that, unlike the Kerr case, for realistic values of the black hole charge large tidal forces can arise before quantum corrections due to the Schwarzian mode become important, so that the near-horizon behavior of the black hole is dictated by higher-derivative terms in the effective theory.

title: Anthropometry, Morbidity and Mortality in Rural Sarawak.

description: This thesis is concerned with the use of anthropometric measurements and indices as tools to assess current adult nutritional status. The practical characteristics, distribution and determinants of the anthropometric variables and also their relationships to morbidity and mortality were examined in a rural population in Sarawak, East Malaysia. The study made use of baseline anthropometric data obtained on 1047 adults in 1990. 94% of the survivors since 1990 were re-measured and re-interviewed in 1996. Verbal autopsies were applied to the closest relatives of the non-survivors since 1990. The body mass index (kg/m2) and mid-upper arm circumference better fulfilled the characteristics required for an ideal index of nutritional status m adults than any other anthropometric measurements or indices. Both the body mass index and mid-upper arm circumference were highly correlated with body energy stores and were relatively independent of height and shape. Negative associations of the body mass index and mid-upper arm circumference with mortality- were observed when overweight (>=25kg/m2) individuals were excluded from the analyses. Age altered the strength of these associations. Low mid-upper arm circumference and body mass index were associated with increased risks of self-reporting episodes of fever and epigastric or respiratory problems not associated with hypertension in a cross-sectional analysis of the non-obcse (<=30kg/m2) population. Amongst the non-obese section of the population who reported being healthy at the baseline, low mid-upper arm circumference was also associated with increased risks of self-reporting subsequent episodes of fever and epigastric or respiratory problems not associated with hypertension. Logistic regression found that the body mass index cut-off point of 18.5kg/m2 was associated with increased risks of mortality when overweight individuals were excluded and early mortality was discounted. Amongst the non-obese section of the population who reported being healthy at the baseline, the body mass index cut-off point of 18.5kg/m2 was associated with increased risks of self-reporting subsequent episodes of fever and epigastric or respiratory problems not associated with hypertension. Thus this study provides support for the hypothesis that the body mass index may be useful in the diagnosis of chronic energy deficiency. However, the results suggest that a scheme which assesses current nutritional status in adults using anthropometric indices should consider employing distinct cut-offs for older adults.
