description: We report the discovery of an Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) in the nearby SAd galaxy NGC 3621 using Spitzer high spectral resolution observations. These observations reveal the presence of [NeV] 14 um and 24 um emission which is centrally concentrated and peaks at the position of the near-infrared nucleus. Using the [NeV] line luminosity, we estimate that the nuclear bolometric luminosity of the AGN is ~ 5 X 10^41 ergs s^-1, which corresponds based on the Eddington limit to a lower mass limit of the black hole of ~ 4 X 10^3 Msun. Using an order of magnitude estimate for the bulge mass based on the Hubble type of the galaxy, we find that this lower mass limit does not put a strain on the well-known relationship between the black hole mass and the host galaxy's stellar velocity dispersion established in predominantly early-type galaxies. Mutli-wavelength follow-up observations of NGC 3621 are required to obtain more precise estimates of the bulge mass, black hole mass, accretion rate, and nuclear bolometric luminosity. The discovery reported here adds to the growing evidence that a black hole can form and grow in a galaxy with no or minimal bulge.

Third World Intervention in the Global Cold War: The German Federal Republic in Paraguay

Year: 2020

description: The following paper aims to contribute to the study of the Global Cold War and western interventionism in the so-called Third-World countries. Specifically, it explores the role of the Federal Republic of Germany, as a Western Bloc actor, in its bilateral relations with Paraguay under the Stroessner dictatorship (1954-1989), one of the longest and most repressive regimes in Latin America. Moreover, this study analyses the impact of the Global Cold War in the contemporary system of global governance and international order. The ideological and political dimensions of the Cold War, compounded with its military, economic and cultural confrontations, opened a window onto the rise of West-Germany as a prominent actor in international relations. An exploration of the case of its relations with Paraguay helps to achieve a broader understanding of how Third-World actors increased the spectrum of the conflict to a global level. By engaging in the study of this case within a historical perspective, this article aspires to stimulate a new analysis of the Federal Republic (FRG) interventions within the binarism of the Global Cold War. This study focuses on how bilateral relations between the FRG and Paraguay, inserted into the arena of a global iron curtain, were shaped by anti-communist discourses and oriented towards economic goals. The latter were pursued through development projects and strategies to achieve industrialization in Third-World countries. In this context, this paper explores the technical and financial aid provided to support development and modernization in several economic sectors.

Comrades or pupils? The politico-cultural cooperation between GDR and post-revolutionary Nicaragua (1979 – 1989)
Creators: name: Ferreira Dos Santos, Janaina
name: Holthaus, Marie Lena
Publisher: name: Global Histories: A Student Journal
Year: 2020

description: This article examines the cultural relations between East Germany and Nicaragua during the time period that ranges from 1979 to 1989. After Anastasio Somoza was overthrown in 1979, material resources as well as qualified personnel were scarce in Nicaragua. Amongst other aspects, education and culture were politically perceived by the new Sandinista government as one of the main pillars of social reconstruction. To overcome the deficiencies in this sector, the Nicaraguan government heavily relied on foreign aid. The German Democratic Republic, as eager for economic partners as it was for diplomatic recognition, supported the country not only with financial and material resources but also by sending specialists, experts, and political consultants. Taking the East German-Nicaraguan “Agreement on cultural and scientific cooperation” from 1980 as a starting point of the investigation, this article explores the transfer of personnel and knowledge in the three areas of culture, education, and politics, mainly from the GDR’s perspective; it thereby investigates GDR officials’ perception of themselves and of their Nicaraguan counterparts. We argue that this relationship, as well as the one fostered by both countries, were simultaneously perceived in part as an equal relationship between “comrades,” in part also as a student-teacher-relationship, exhibiting ideas of European superiority.

description: A constructive approach to theory of diffusion processes is proposed, which is based on application of both the symmetry analysis and method of modelling functions. An algorithm for construction of the modelling functions is suggested. This algorithm is based on the error functions expansion (ERFEX) of experimental concentration profiles. The high-accuracy analytical description of the profiles provided by ERFEX approximation allows a convenient extraction of the concentration dependence of diffusivity from experimental data and prediction of the diffusion process. Our analysis is exemplified by its employment to experimental results obtained for surface diffusion of lithium on the molybdenum (112) surface pre-covered with dysprosium. The ERFEX approximation can be directly extended to many other diffusion systems.

Professions Within, Between and Beyond. Varieties of Professionalism in a Globalising World

Publisher: name: Cambio. Rivista sulle Trasformazioni Sociali
Year: 2019

description: This article introduces the monographic section on the varieties of professionalism in a globalising world. The monographic section aims to explore new theoretical perspectives and analytical approaches in the field of the sociology of professions, by collecting both theoretical and empirical contributions focusing on different professions (either established or emerging ones) and topics, from different geographical regions. In the first part of this introductory article, we discuss professionalism as a concept that needs to be theoretically redefined in the context of post-industrial society after the crisis. For this purpose, we propose to refocus the discourse about professionalism on the process of differentiation and the increasing heterogeneity it is bringing about, within and between professional groups. Additionally, the changed societal conditions imply a changing role for professionals in society, beyond professionalism, which is an area worth being explored. Thus, we outline possible developments of the academic debate in three main analytical dimensions, labelled as within, between and beyond. The second part charts the nine contributions included in the monographic section, while trying to reconduct them to the dimensions mentioned above. Three orders of themes have thus been identified, concerning: (1) the redefinition of the concept of professionalism as a “practice”, highlighting the practicality of the wisdom used by professionals in performing their everyday tasks; (2) the analysis of regulation processes, focusing on what happens when institutions shape professionalism; and (3) the investigation of the dynamics of transnational mobility, in the context of globalisation processes

description: The phase structure of neutral two-flavor quark matter at nonzero temperature is studied. Our analysis is performed within the framework of a gauged Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model and the mean-field approximation. We compute the free energy of the gluonic phase (gluonic cylindrical phase II) in a self-consistent manner and investigate the phase transition from the gluonic phase to the 2SC/g2SC/NQ phases. We briefly consider the phase diagram in the plane of coupling strength versus temperature and discuss the mixed phase consisting of the normal quark and 2SC phases.

description: A fundamental problem in differential geometry is to characterize intrinsic metrics on a two-dimensional Riemannian manifold ${\mathcal M}^2$ which can be realized as isometric immersions into $\R^3$. This problem can be formulated as initial and/or boundary value problems for a system of nonlinear partial differential equations of mixed elliptic-hyperbolic type whose mathematical theory is largely incomplete. In this paper, we develop a general approach, which combines a fluid dynamic formulation of balance laws for the Gauss-Codazzi system with a compensated compactness framework, to deal with the initial and/or boundary value problems for isometric immersions in $\R^3$. The compensated compactness framework formed here is a natural formulation to ensure the weak continuity of the Gauss-Codazzi system for approximate solutions, which yields the isometric realization of two-dimensional surfaces in $\R^3$. As a first application of this approach, we study the isometric immersion problem for two-dimensional Riemannian manifolds with strictly negative Gauss curvature. We prove that there exists a $C^{1,1}$ isometric immersion of the two-dimensional manifold in $\R^3$ satisfying our prescribed initial conditions. T

Capitalist Realism, Disappointment, and the History of Sensibilities: A Case for Fiction as Historical Source

description: Blending a reflection on the historiography of sensibilities in the study of the recent past with a discussion on the relationship between literary criticism and the field of history proper, this paper makes a case for a further engagement with fiction as a historical source by cultural historians. Briefly engaging with the evolution of Raymond Williams' concept of a "structure of feeling" and tracing it to Daniel Wickberg's call for a new history of sensibilities, the article then engages with the field of what Mark Fisher called "capitalist realism" as an object of study that can serve as an example on how to apply the study of fiction in recent history.

What is Global History of Technology (good for)?
Creators: name: Ammermann, Friedrich N.
Publisher: name: Global Histories: A Student Journal
Year: 2021

description: Despite the large role that technology plays in many Global History studies, a self-styled ‘Global History of Technology’ is emerging only recently. Given that technology is not easily contained in national frameworks, global history lends itself easily to histories of technology. What is still largely missing, however, is a conceptualization of what a ‘Global History of Technology’, that brings both strands together, could contribute, to either discipline and as a whole. This gap is at the centre of this essay. After sketching the key ideas and development in Global History and History of Technology, this essay outlines how a Global History of Technology could like, what it enquires and which terms it might use. It is finally argued, that Global History and History of Technology complement each other in many ways, and that new terms can help to sharpen Global History arguments and to provide (non-Eurocentric?) ‘fresh perspectives’ on technology in the Global South as well as the Western world.

Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Neural and Evolutionary Computing (cs.NE)

description: Neural network models of real-world systems, such as industrial processes, made from sensor data must often rely on incomplete data. System states may not all be known, sensor data may be biased or noisy, and it is not often known which sensor data may be useful for predictive modelling. Genetic algorithms may be used to help to address this problem by determining the near optimal subset of sensor variables most appropriate to produce good models. This paper describes the use of genetic search to optimize variable selection to determine inputs into the neural network model. We discuss genetic algorithm implementation issues including data representation types and genetic operators such as crossover and mutation. We present the use of this technique for neural network modelling of a typical industrial application, a liquid fed ceramic melter, and detail the results of the genetic search to optimize the neural network model for this application.

East-South Women’s Encounters in the Global History of the Cold War: The Anti-Imperialism of Women’s Activism(s)
Creators: name: Fechtner, Clara
Publisher: name: Global Histories: A Student Journal
Year: 2021

description: This research focuses on East-South women’s solidarity networks during the second half of the 20th century, focusing on the communist East German Democratic Women’s League (DFD) and its transnational relationships with women’s organizations from the decolonizing world within and beyond the Women’s International Democratic Federation (WIDF), the largest transnational women’s organization in the post-1945 period. The paper reveals not only how women’s rights became an important marker in the broader interactions between the socialist camp and the ‘Third World’ but also exposes how the concept of women’s rights and its translation into practices at different socio-spatial levels gave rise to a transnational configuration of social practices, common symbols, and artefacts.

Local Causality and Completeness: Bell vs. Jarrett
Creators: name: Norsen, Travis
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: J.S. Bell believed that his famous theorem entailed a deep and troubling conflict between the empirically verified predictions of quantum theory and the notion of local causality that is motivated by relativity theory. Yet many physicists continue to accept, usually on the reports of textbook writers and other commentators, that Bell's own view was wrong, and that, in fact, the theorem only brings out a conflict with determinism or the hidden-variables program or realism or some other such principle that (unlike local causality), allegedly, nobody should have believed anyway. (Moreover, typically such beliefs arise without the person in question even being aware that the view they are accepting differs so radically from Bell's own.) Here we try to shed some light on the situation by focusing on the concept of local causality that is the heart of Bell's theorem, and, in particular, by contrasting Bell's own understanding with the analysis of Jon Jarrett which has been the most influential source, in recent decades, for the kinds of claims mentioned previously. We point out a crucial difference between Jarrett's and Bell's own understanding of Bell's formulation of local causality, which turns out to be the basis for the erroneous claim, made by Jarrett and many others, that Bell misunderstood the implications of his own theorem.

Between the Nation and the Empire: The Transmission of Texts and Ideas about Temperance in the USA and Russia in the early 20th century
Creators: name: Smelova, Anna
Publisher: name: Global Histories: A Student Journal
Year: 2021

description: The 19th century witnessed the rise of various reformist movements at both international and local levels, such as clean-living crusades, public health campaigns, and temperance activism. Anti-alcohol activism flourished in different countries and regions and resulted in a wave of legal restrictions on the sale, production, and use of alcoholic beverages, or as a political thinker Mark Schrad called it, ‘the global prohibition drama.’ The most significant temperance movements were those in the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Nordic countries. Nevertheless, Russia, which is traditionally represented as an “alcoholic empire” is absent from the map of ‘temperance cultures’. This article seeks to bridge the distance between the metropolis of the anti-alcohol world - the United States, - and its imagined periphery. It will be shown how the ideas and practices of sobriety traveled across the Atlantic and found their implementation in late imperial Russia. To trace this international exchange of ideas, I will focus on the conference presentation made by the American temperance activist Cora Frances Stoddard at the 12th Anti-alcohol Congress in 1909 and its Russian translation of 1914. The proposed research will address the “glocalization” of temperance on several levels. A comparative consideration of the report and its translation will contribute to the understanding of the national contexts in which American and Russian temperance movements were developing. Of particular interest to me is the invention of sobriety as an international social movement and political practice in the modern era, as well as the circulation and transfer of ideas from one continent to another. From a larger perspective, this work aims at placing Prohibition into the global context and understanding the causes and outcomes of the worldwide policy in the first quarter of the 20th century.

In the driven resonator, such collective motion is induced by optical forces acting upon up to $10^5$ $^{87}$Rb atoms prepared in the lowest band of a one-dimensional intracavity optical lattice. The longevity of atomic motional coherence allows for strongly nonlinear optics at extremely low cavity photon numbers, as demonstrated by the observation of both branches of optical bistability at photon numbers below unity.

Dressing Imperialism: The Cultural Significance of the Kashmiri Shawl in the Age of Imperialism
Creators: name: Carberry, Katherine Amelia
Publisher: name: Global Histories: A Student Journal
Year: 2021

description: Global histories of commodities have highlighted the interconnectedness of global trade in the nineteenth-century and have demonstrated that commodities bound people of different continents in often invisible ways. Global histories of commodities, however, continue to focus on male actors and their involvement as traders, business owners, and politicians. As a result, such histories often eclipse the experiences of women, the working classes, and the subaltern. Despite such shortcomings, global histories of commodities can reflect on the global conditions which have shaped individuals’ affective and material experiences. As such, my work considers how the Kashmiri shawl, a fashionable garment of South Asian origin, came to embody the changing character of British womanhood. This process occurred not only as a result of Britain’s colonial presence, but also by way of cross-cultural dialogue between Britain, India, and France. The Kashmiri shawl operated as a nexus of class, race, sex, and gender and is, therefore, well-poised to inform how metropolitan Britons understood and responded to the notion of empire and how consumers negotiated the shifting meanings of foreign commodities. The shawl’s sartorial versatility and proximity to the body render it a highly personal and suggestive item ripe for investigation. A careful examination of British and Anglo-Indian women’s letters and travel journals, as well as nineteenth-century artwork, literary works, and print culture, demonstrates that the shawl became a symbolically and sexually charged item because of its connections to both the Orient and British femininity. More specifically, the shawl reveals nineteenth-century concerns surrounding female sexuality and the instability of white racial identity within an expanding British empire.

description: The properties of 322 intermediate-mass late-G giants (comprising 10 planet-host stars) selected as the targets of Okayama Planet Search Program, many of which are red-clump giants, were comprehensively investigated by establishing their various stellar parameters (atmospheric parameters including turbulent velocity fields, metallicity, luminosity, mass, age, projected rotational velocity, etc.), and their photospheric chemical abundances for 17 elements, in order to study their mutual dependence, connection with the existence of planets, and possible evolution-related characteristics. The metallicity distribution of planet-host giants was found to be almost the same as that of non-planet-host giants, making marked contrast to the case of planet-host dwarfs tending to be metal-rich. Generally, the metallicities of these comparatively young (typical age of ~10^9 yr) giants tend to be somewhat lower than those of dwarfs at the same age, and super-metal-rich ([Fe/H] > 0.2) giants appear to be lacking. Apparent correlations were found between the abundances of C, O, and Na, suggesting that the surface compositions of these elements have undergone appreciable changes due to dredge-up of H-burning products by evolution-induced deep envelope mixing which becomes more efficient for higher-mass stars.

Inversion of magnetotelluric impedances from above young lithosphere
Creators: name: Whittall, Kenneth Patrick
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Ocean bottom magnetometer data from a site on the Pacific plate above 3 my old lithosphere are inverted for electrical conductivity as a function of depth. Magnetotelluric impedances are calculated by the vertical gradient method using the fields at the OBM in conjuction with those measured at the Victoria Geomagnetic Observatory. The approximations involved are examined. Winnowing criteria are proposed which isolate those impedances compatible with all the model and source field assumptions. These then define the best possible data set. A number of inversion algorithms are applied to the data and a wide range of acceptable conductivity profiles are constructed. All profiles exhibit a uniform, relatively high conductivity of about 0.2 S/m from the surface down to a depth of 100 km. Exact and approximate bounds on the conductance are calculated in an effort to quantify the non-uniqueness of the diverse conductivity models. Profiles with a minimum of structure are used to calculate the partial melting and temperature variations beneath the 3 my old site. All results are compared with three other magnetotelluric analyses above 1, 30 and 72 my old lithosphere. The 3 my old datum is discordant and does not fit the trends interpreted from the other three studies.

description: Particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations of collisionless magnetic reconnection are performed to study asymmetric reconnection in which an outflow is blocked by a hard wall while leaving sufficiently large room for the outflow of the opposite direction. This condition leads to a slow, roughly constant motion of the diffusion region away from the wall, the so-called `X-line retreat'. The typical retreat speed is ~0.1 times the Alfven speed. At the diffusion region, ion flow pattern shows strong asymmetry and the ion stagnation point and the X-line are not collocated. A surprise, however, is that the reconnection rate remains the same unaffected by the retreat motion.

description: We analyze the transmitted flux in a sample of 17 QSOs spectra at 5.7411 Myr. The observed widths of the peaks are found to be systematically larger than the simulated ones. Reasons for such discrepancy might reside either in the photoionization equilibrium assumption or in radiative transfer effects.

Linear response subordination to intermittent energy release in off-equilibrium aging dynamics

description: The interpretation of experimental and numerical data describing off-equilibrium aging dynamics crucially depends on the connection between spontaneous and induced fluctuations. The hypothesis that linear response fluctuations are statistically subordinated to irreversible outbursts of energy, so-called quakes, leads to predictions for averages and fluctuations spectra of physical observables in reasonable agreement with experimental results [see e.g. Sibani et al., Phys. Rev. B74:224407, 2006]. Using simulational data from a simple but representative Ising model with plaquette interactions, direct statistical evidence supporting the hypothesis is presented and discussed in this work. A strict temporal correlation between quakes and intermittent magnetization fluctuations is demonstrated. The external magnetic field is shown to bias the pre-existent intermittent tails of the magnetic fluctuation distribution, with little or no effect on the Gaussian part of the latter. Its impact on energy fluctuations is shown to be negligible. Linear response is thus controlled by the quakes and inherits their temporal statistics. These findings provide a theoretical basis for analyzing intermittent linear response data from aging system in the same way as thermal energy fluctuations, which are far more difficult to measure.

The targum (1945:Dec. 5 - 1945:Dec. 19)
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: Targum Association
Year: 1945

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.

description: In un articolo del 1984 M. Pohjola ha introdotto nel modello di Lancaster la considerazione della contrattazione fra capitalisti e lavoratori nella analisi della relazione fra distribuzione del reddito e accumulazione del capitale in termini di un gioco differenziale. Lo scopo del nostro lavoro è quello di estendere l’analisi di Pohjola al caso in cui i lavoratori possono decidere di risparmiare e quindi di accumulare capitale per analizzarne le conseguenze sull’equilibrio non cooperativo del corrispondente gioco differenziale.

In his paper of 1984 M. Pohjola generalized Lancaster’s model of capitalism as a differential game by considering the bargaining process between capitalists and workers in the analysis of the relationship between income distribution and capital accumulation. Our contribution aims to extend his model by introducing the possibility of saving for the workers and its consequences on the noncooperative equilibrium of the correspondin differential
game.

The Compact X-ray Source 1E 1547.0-5408 and the Radio Shell G327.24-0.13: A New Proposed Association between a Candidate Magnetar and a Candidate Supernova Remnant

description: We present X-ray, infrared and radio observations of the field centered on X-ray source 1E 1547.0-5408 in the Galactic Plane. A new Chandra observation of this source shows it is unresolved at arc-second resolution, and a new XMM observation shows that its X-ray spectrum is best described by an absorbed power-law and blackbody model. A comparison of the X-ray flux observed from this source between 1980 and 2006 reveals that its absorbed 0.5-10 keV X-ray flux decreased from ~2x10^-12 ergs cm-2 s-1 to ~3x10^-13 ergs cm-2 during this period. The most recent XMM observation allows us to put a 5 sigma confidence upper limit of 14% for the 0.5-10 keV peak-to-peak pulsed fraction. A near-infrared observation of this field shows a source with magnitude Ks = 15.9+/-0.2 near the position of 1E 1547.0-5408, but the implied X-ray to infrared flux ratio indicates the infrared emission is from an unrelated field source, allowing us to limit the IR magnitude of 1E 1547.0-5408 to >17.5. Archival radio observations reveal that 1E 1547.0-5408 sits at the center of a faint, small (4' diameter) radio shell, G327.24-0.13, which is possibly a previously unidentified supernova remnant. The X-ray properties of 1E 1547.0-5408 suggest that this source is a magnetar - a young neutron star whose X-ray emission is powered by the decay of its extremely strong magnetic field. The spatial coincidence between this source and G327.24-0.13 suggests that 1E 1547.0-5408 is associated with a young supernova remnant, supporting a neutron star interpretation. Additional observations are needed to confirm the nature of both 1E 1547.0-5408 and G327.24-0.13, and to determine if these sources are associated. If so, this pair will be an important addition to the small number of known associations between magnetars and supernova remnants.

description: This study examines the first-year experiences of new associate deans at doctoral 
granting, Research I universities. Participants were 24 associate deans from various disciplines 
at three difference universities who had been in their positions for five years or less. Findings 
show that the transition into the associate dean position is stressful and difficult, and that the first 
year involves a great deal of on-the-job skill acquisition, learning to navigate the broader 
organizational environment, dealing with significant changes in the nature of their interactions 
with colleagues from their previous departments along with a great sense of loneliness and 
isolation, and a need to establish new peer groups. However, nearly all report high job 
satisfaction and a desire to remain in administration. Future study is necessary to examine how 
these early experiences shape decisions to move into higher-level positions in higher education 
administration.

description: Laser-triggered ionization injection is a promising way of generating controllable high-quality electrons in plasma-based acceleration. We show that ionization injection of electrons into a fully nonlinear plasma wave wake using a laser pulse comprising of one or more Laguerre-Gaussian modes with combinations of spin and orbital angular momentum can generate exotic three-dimensional (3D) spatial distributions of high-quality relativistic electrons. The phase dependent residual momenta and initial positions of the ionized electrons are encoded into their final phase space distributions, leading to complex spatiotemporal structures. The structures are formed as a result of the transverse (betatron) and longitudinal (phase slippage and energy gain) dynamics of the electrons in the wake immediately after the electrons are injected. Theoretical analysis and 3D simulations verify this mapping process leads to the generation of these complex topological beams. These beams may trigger novel beam-plasma interactions as well as produce coherent radiation with orbital angular momentum when sent through a resonant undulator.

description: We have determined the distance to NGC 4258 using observations made with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and the Wide Field, Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS/WFC). We apply a modified technique that fully accounts for metallicity effects on the use of the luminosity of the tip of the red giant branch (TRGB) to determine one of the most precise TRGB distance moduli to date: u(TRGB) = 29.28 +/- 0.04 (random) +/- 0.12 (systematic) mag (7.18 +/- 0.13 +/- 0.40 Mpc). We discuss this distance modulus with respect to other recent applications of the TRGB method to NGC 4258, and with several other techniques (Cepheids and masers) that are equally competitive in their precision, but different in their systematics.

Abundances of lithium, sodium, and potassium in Vega

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: Vega's photospheric abundances of Li, Na, and K were determined by using considerably weak lines measured on the very high-S/N spectrum, while the non-LTE correction and the gravity-darkening correction were adequately taken into account. It was confirmed that these alkali elements are mildly underabundant ([Li/H] ~ -0.6, [Na/H] ~ -0.3, and [K/H] ~ -0.2) compared to the solar system values, as generally seen also in other metals. Since the tendency of Li being more deficient than Na and K is qualitatively similar to what is seen in typical interstellar cloud, the process of interstellar gas accretion may be related with the abundance anomaly of Vega, as suspected in the case of lambda Boo stars.
