description: © 2016 American Physical Society. The interfaces between two condensed phases often exhibit emergent physical properties that can lead to new physics and novel device applications and are the subject of intense study in many disciplines. We here apply experimental and theoretical techniques to the characterization of one such interesting interface system: the two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) formed in multilayers consisting of SrTiO3 (STO) and GdTiO3 (GTO). This system has been the subject of multiple studies recently and shown to exhibit very high carrier charge densities and ferromagnetic effects, among other intriguing properties. We have studied a 2DEG-forming multilayer of the form [6unitcells(u.c.)STO/3u.c.ofGTO]20 using a unique array of photoemission techniques including soft and hard x-ray excitation, soft x-ray angle-resolved photoemission, core-level spectroscopy, resonant excitation, and standing-wave effects, as well as theoretical calculations of the electronic structure at several levels and of the actual photoemission process. Standing-wave measurements below and above a strong resonance have been exploited as a powerful method for studying the 2DEG depth distribution. We have thus characterized the spatial and momentum properties of this 2DEG in detail, determining via depth-distribution measurements that it is spread throughout the 6 u.c. layer of STO and measuring the momentum dispersion of its states. The experimental results are supported in several ways by theory, leading to a much more complete picture of the nature of this 2DEG and suggesting that oxygen vacancies are not the origin of it. Similar multitechnique photoemission studies of such states at buried interfaces, combined with comparable theory, will be a very fruitful future approach for exploring and modifying the fascinating world of buried-interface physics and chemistry.

description: Pairing of electrons in conventional superconductors occurs at the superconducting transition temperature Tc, creating an energy gap D in the electronic density of states (DOS). In the high-Tc superconductors, a partial gap in the DOS exists for a range of temperatures above Tc. A key question is whether the gap in the DOS above Tc is associated with pairing, and what determines the temperature at which incoherent pairs form. Here we report the first spatially resolved measurements of gap formation in a high-Tc superconductor, measured on Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+d samples with different Tc values (hole concentration of 0.12 to 0.22) using scanning tunnelling microscopy. Over a wide range of doping from 0.16 to 0.22 we find that pairing gaps nucleate in nanoscale regions above Tc. These regions proliferate as the temperature is lowered, resulting in a spatial distribution of gap sizes in the superconducting state. Despite the inhomogeneity, we find that every pairing gap develops locally at a temperature Tp, following the relation 2D/kBTp = 8. At very low doping (<0.14), systematic changes in the DOS indicate the presence of another phenomenon, which is unrelated and perhaps competes with electron pairing. Our observation of nanometre-sized pairing regions provides the missing microscopic basis for understanding recent reports of fluctuating superconducting response above Tc in hole-doped high-Tc copper oxide superconductors.

description: In this paper, we propose a scheme for representing semantic metadata of IoT devices in compact identifiers and DNS names to enable simple discovery and search with standard DNS servers. Our scheme defines a binary identifier as a sequence of bits: a Context to use and several bits of fields corresponding to semantic properties specific to the Context. The bit string is then encoded as base32 characters and registered in DNS. Furthermore, we use the compact semantic DNS names to offer support for search and discovery. We propose to take advantage of the DNS system as the basic functionality for querying and discovery of semantic properties related to IoT devices. We have defined three specific Contexts for hierarchical semantic properties as well as logical and geographical locations. For this last part, we have developed two prototypes for managing geo-identifiers in LoRa networks, one based on Node and the Redis in-memory database, the other one based on the CoreDNS server.

RD-Connect

description: RD-Connect is an integrated platform connecting databases, registries, biobanks and clinical bioinformatics for rare disease research. Among other, RD-Connect has built three integrated online systems open to the RD Community: Genome-Phenome Analysis Platform (GPAP), for analysis, interpretation and sharing of omics data, the Registry & Biobank Finder, a global directory of rare disease patient registries and biobank and Sample Catalogue, which helps researchers find rare biosamples stored in biobanks.

RD-Connect acknowledged early in its programme that it would be necessary to sustain these three main assets, among other, beyond the funding period of the project. For this reason, several initiatives were undertaken to ensure the sustainability of these resources. In many of those, BBMRI-ERIC and ELIXIR were invited to participate. The RD-Connect GPAP has been, and is, central to EXCELERATE WP8 developments, the ELIXIR Rare Disease Community and quite a few ELIXIR Implementation Studies. Since the RD-Connect project has been key for the EXCELERATE WP8, D8.7 has provided support to identify sustainability options for RD-Connect, within ELIXIR and beyond.

Most of the efforts have focused on the GPAP, and while basic operation funding are partially covered until 2023, EXCELERATE has helped to identify topics that need to be further developed to ensure long-term sustainability. Some of the topics identified include containerization of pipelines, running analysis on the cloud and federation of national/regional RD-Connect nodes while providing added value to data stored at the EGA. Altogether, this would provide a useful initial demonstrator for the MEGA+ and the 1M genomes declaration of the EU states.

description: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection has been associated with an increased risk for B-cell lymphomas. We previously showed that diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients with concomitant HBV infection (surface antigen positive, HBsAg+) are characterized by distinct clinical and genetic features. Here, we showed that 24% of follicular lymphoma (FL) patients from China, an endemic area of HBV infection, are HBsAg+. Compared to the HBsAg-negative FL patients, HBsAg+ patients are younger, have a higher histological grade at diagnosis and higher incidence of progression of disease within 24 months (POD24). Moreover, by sequencing the genomes of 109 FL tumors, we observed an enhanced mutagenesis and a unique set of highly mutated genes including TNFAIP3, FAS, HIST1H1C, KLF2, TP53, PIM1, TMSB4X and DUSP2 in HBsAg+ FLs. These HBsAg+ tumors often lack the hallmark of HBsAg-negative FLs, i.e. IGH/BCL2 translocations and CREBBP mutations. Transcriptomic analyses further showed that HBsAg+ FLs displayed gene expression signatures resembling the activated B-cell (ABC) subtype of DLBCL, involving IRF4-targeted genes and NF-B/MYD88 signaling pathways. Finally, we identified an increased number of tumor-infiltrating CD8+ memory T-cells, CD4+ Th1-cells, M1 macrophages and higher T-cell exhaustion signature in HBsAg+ FL samples. Taken together, we present new genetic/epigenetic evidence that links chronic HBV infection to B-cell lymphomagenesis, and HBV-associated FL is likely to have a distinct cell-of-origin and represent as a separate subtype of FL. Targetable genetic/epigenetic alterations identified in tumors and their associated tumor microenvironment may also provide potential novel therapeutic approaches for this subgroup of patients.

description: Part of a collection of correspondence from Kathleen Raine to Robin Skelton. Skelton was a British poet, academic, anthologist, and practicing Wiccan. He taught at Manchester University before emigrating to Canada in 1963, where he taught creative writing at the University of Victoria and started the literary magazine The Malahat Review. Also included are some letters to Skelton’s wife Sylvia, and his daughters. Spanning close to forty-five years, the correspondence discusses poetry, writing, and philosophy; particularly Platonism and Neoplatonism. Raine often refers to the writings of William Blake and W. B. Yeats. Many letters also mention contemporary literary figures at the time including: Herbert Read, Peter Russell, Liam Miller, and Thurairajah Tambimuttu. In this letter, Raine writes that she is pleased about Skelton putting together a collection of David Gascoyne's work, and congratulates Skelton on his emmigration to Canada.c

description: © 2016 by Johns Hopkins University Press. We develop an elliptic theory based in L2 of boundary value problems for general wedge differential operators of first order under only mild assumptions on the boundary spectrum. In particular, we do not require the indicial roots to be constant along the base of the boundary fibration. Our theory includes as a special case the classical theory of elliptic boundary value problems for first order operators with and without the Shapiro-Lopatinskii condition, and can be thought of as a natural extension of that theory to the geometrically and analytically relevant class of wedge operators. Wedge operators arise in the global analysis on manifolds with incomplete edge singularities. Our theory settles, in the first order case, the long-standing open problem to develop a robust elliptic theory of boundary value problems for such operators.

description: © 2014, University at Albany. All rights reserved. Let k be a number field, suppose that B is a central simple division algebra over k, and choose any maximal order D of B. The object of this paper is to show that the group D∗S of S-units of B is generated by elements of small height once S contains an explicit finite set of places of k. This generalizes a theorem of H. W. Lenstra, Jr., who proved such a result when B = k. Our height bound is an explicit function of the number field and the discriminant of a maximal order in B used to define its S-units.
Gravitational arcs as a perturbation of the perfect ring

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The image of a point situated at the center of a circularly symmetric potential is a perfect circle. The perturbative effect of non-symmetrical potential terms is to displace and break the perfect circle. These 2 effects, displacement and breaking are directly related to the Taylor expansion of the perturbation at first order on the circle. The numerical accuracy of this perturbative approach is tested in the case of an elliptical potential with a core radius. The contour of the images and the caustics lines are well re-produced by the perturbative approach. These results suggests that the modeling of arcs, and in particular of tangential arcs may be simplified by using a general perturbative representation on the circle. An interesting feature of the perturbative approach, is that the equation of the caustic line depends only on the values on the circle of the lens displacement field along the $θ$ direction.

More realistic band gaps from meta-generalized gradient approximations: Only in a generalized Kohn-Sham scheme

description: © 2016 American Physical Society. Unlike the local density approximation (LDA) and the generalized gradient approximation (GGA), calculations with meta-generalized gradient approximations (meta-GGA) are usually done according to the generalized Kohn-Sham (gKS) formalism. The exchange-correlation potential of the gKS equation is nonmultiplicative, which prevents systematic comparison of meta-GGA band structures to those of the LDA and the GGA. We implement the optimized effective potential (OEP) of the meta-GGA for periodic systems, which allows us to carry out meta-GGA calculations in the same KS manner as for the LDA and the GGA. We apply the OEP to several meta-GGAs, including the new SCAN functional [Phys. Rev. Lett. 115, 036402 (2015)PRLTAO0031-900710.1103/PhysRevLett.115.036402]. We find that the KS gaps and KS band structures of meta-GGAs are close to those of GGAs. They are smaller than the more realistic gKS gaps of meta-GGAs, but probably close to the less-realistic gaps in the band structure of the exact KS potential, as can be seen by comparing with the gaps of the EXX+RPA OEP potential. The well-known grid sensitivity of meta-GGAs is much more severe in OEP calculations.
Analytical approach to the generalized friendship paradox in networks with correlated attributes

description: One of the interesting phenomena due to the topological heterogeneities in complex networks is the friendship paradox, stating that your friends have on average more friends than you do. Recently, this paradox has been generalized for arbitrary nodal attributes, called a generalized friendship paradox (GFP). In this paper, we analyze the GFP for the networks in which the attributes of neighboring nodes are correlated with each other. The correlation structure between attributes of neighboring nodes is modeled by the Farlie-Gumbel-Morgenstern copula, enabling us to derive approximate analytical solutions of the GFP for three kinds of methods summarizing the neighborhood of the focal node, i.e., mean-based, median-based, and fraction-based methods. The analytical solutions are comparable to simulation results, while some systematic deviations between them might be attributed to the higher-order correlations between nodal attributes. These results help us get deeper insight into how various summarization methods as well as the correlation structure of nodal attributes affect the GFP behavior, hence better understand various related phenomena in complex networks.

description: The superfluid density near the superconducting transition is investigated in the presence of spatial inhomogeneity in the critical temperature. Disorder is accounted for by means of a random $T_c$ term in the conventional Ginzburg-Landau action for the superconducting order parameter. Focusing on the case where a low-density of randomly distributed planar defects are responsible for the variation of $T_c$, we derive the lowest order correction to the superfluid density in powers of the defect concentration. The correction is calculated assuming a broad Gaussian distribution for the strengths of the defect potentials. Our results are in a qualitative agreement with the superfluid density measurements in the underdoped regime of high-quality YBCO crystals by Broun and co-workers.

description: © 2016 American Physical Society. This article reports an improved independent measurement of neutrino mixing angle θ13 at the Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment. Electron antineutrinos were identified by inverse β-decays with the emitted neutron captured by hydrogen, yielding a data set with principally distinct uncertainties from that with neutrons captured by gadolinium. With the final two of eight antineutrino detectors installed, this study used 621 days of data including the previously reported 217-day data set with six detectors. The dominant statistical uncertainty was reduced by 49%. Intensive studies of the cosmogenic muon-induced Li9 and fast neutron backgrounds and the neutron-capture energy selection efficiency, resulted in a reduction of the systematic uncertainty by 26%. The deficit in the detected number of antineutrinos at the far detectors relative to the expected number based on the near detectors yielded sin22θ13=0.071±0.011 in the three-neutrino-oscillation framework. The combination of this result with the gadolinium-capture result is also reported.
Towards Efficient Natural Language Generation

description:  Natural language generation (NLG) has seen remarkable success benefiting from the development of deep learning techniques. As large-scale pretraining becomes the de-facto standard in NLP, enormous training data and model parameters consistently lead to state-of-the-art performance on standard NLG tasks. While quite successful, current NLG approaches are inefficient from several aspects, which prohibits their usage in broader and practical settings: (1) they are label-inefficient – conditional neural generation (e.g. machine translation) often requires a large number of annotated samples to train, which limits their applications in low-resource regimes; (2) they are parameter-inefficient – it is common practice to fine-tune a pretrained model to adapt it to the downstream task, however, these models could scale to trillions of parameters (Fedus et al., 2021), which would cause a large memory footprint when serving a large number of tasks; and (3) lastly, we focus on the compute-inefficiency of a trending model class, retrieval-augmented NLG models. They retrieve from an external datastore to assist in generation, the added datastore and retrieval process incurs non-trivial space and time cost due to extra computation. 
In this thesis, we aim to provide a deeper understanding of research problems in efficient NLG and utilizing the insights to design better approaches. Specifically, (1) for label-efficiency we study unsupervised and semi-supervised conditional genera?tion that take advantage of the abundant unlabeled text data, and thus mitigate the requirement of numerous annotated samples. The proposed methods are validated on a wide variety of NLG tasks; (2) for parameter-efficiency we propose a unified framework to connect parameter-efficient transfer learning, where only few parameters need to be updated to adapt a large pretrained model to downstream tasks. Our framework provides a new understanding of this direction, as well as instantiating state-of-the-art approaches for parameter-efficient NLG; (3) for compute-efficiency in retrieval-augmented NLG we either design new models or post-adapt the retrieval component to compress the datastore, reduce the retrieval compute, and speed up the inference.

description: Strategic financial management has the potential to achieve the wealth creation expectation of a company or an organization. This study was carried out to examine the relationship between strategic financial management techniques and wealth creation of listed manufacturing companies in Nigeria. Ex-post facto research was employed for this study and a sample size of 10 randomly selected listed manufacturing firms were used. The data used for this study were gotten from secondary data, from audited annual reports of these firms for 5 years (2019-2023). Multiple regression analysis and descriptive statistics were used to analyse the data obtained. The findings revealed that debt finance had positive and insignificant effect on return on equity, Dividend payout had negative relationship with return on equity, working capital revealed a negative and significant relationship with return on equity, and the total asset turnover had a negative significant effect on return equity of the manufacturing sector. It was concluded that Strategic Financial management techniques jointly had significant effect on return with F statistics of 0.00 as all the proxies of the independent variables are jointly responsible for 0.46% changes in ROE. It was recommended that the management of the manufacturing sector should consider other factors outside the financial management practices that impacted return on equity to improve their performance so as to attract more investors to their sector. Also, the manufacturing sector should look critically at those financial management techniques (debt finance, dividend payout, working capital, and total asset turnover) that impact return on equity negatively

Nuclear recoil events produced by neutron scatters form one of the most important classes of background in WIMP direct detection experiments, as they may produce nuclear recoils that look exactly like WIMP interactions. In DarkSide-50, we both actively suppress and measure the rate of neutron-induced background events using our neutron veto, composed of a boron-loaded liquid scintillator detector within a water Cherenkov detector. This paper is devoted to the description of the neutron veto system of DarkSide-50, including the detector structure, the fundamentals of event reconstruction and data analysis, and basic performance parameters.

It is treated as a perfect fluid that obeys the equation of state $P=\frac{γρ}{1-βρ}-αρ^{2}, 0\leqγ<1$, where $ρ$ stands for energy density and $P$ stands for pressure of the fluid. In this regard, we discuss the behavior of physical parameters to analyze the evolution of the universe. We investigate whether the cosmological scenario fulfills the third law of thermodynamics using specific heat formalism. Next we discuss the thermal equation of state and by means of adiabatic, specific heat and isothermal conditions from classical thermodynamics we examine the thermal stability.

SPATIO-TEMPORAL STATISTICAL MODELING OF MALARIA INCIDENCE IN GHANA: A GEOSTATISTICAL APPROACH TO REGIONAL DISPARITIES
Creators: name: A. Dinesh Kumar* & Jerryson Ameworgbe Gidisu**
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: This study addresses the persistent regional disparities in malaria incidence across Ghana from 2020 to 2024 by employing a spatio-temporal statistical modeling approach. The justification for this research stems from the inadequacy of national surveillance systems to capture spatial heterogeneities and temporal dynamics that influence malaria transmission, especially in high-burden regions such as the Upper East and Northern zones. The main objective was to develop a geostatistical framework that integrates climatic (rainfall, temperature, humidity), socio-economic (poverty, housing quality), and spatial factors to predict and map malaria incidence. Utilizing a quantitative observational design, data were collected from national agencies and analyzed using kriging, Bayesian hierarchical modeling, ARIMA forecasting, and spatial autocorrelation (Moran’s I). The study revealed that rainfall (r = 0.85), humidity (r = 0.80), and temperature (r = 0.75) are strongly correlated with malaria incidence, with a combined multiple regression model yielding an R² of 0.81. Spatial autocorrelation indicated significant clustering in districts like Bolga and Bawku West (Moran’s I > 0.30; Z-scores > 2.0), confirming hotspot persistence. Forecasts from the ARIMA model project incidence to increase from 305 to 315 per 1,000 between 2025 and 2027. The findings underscore the critical role of environmental and socio-economic variables in shaping malaria patterns and emphasize the need for climate-sensitive, geo-targeted interventions. Policymakers are urged to adopt dynamic, district-specific strategies, prioritize intervention during rainy seasons, and integrate spatial intelligence into malaria control programs. Future research should enhance early-warning capabilities using remote sensing and machine learning techniques.

description: © 2016 World Scientific Publishing Company. We show that for a surface ∑, the subgraph of the pants graph determined by fixing a collection of curves that cut ∑ into pairs of pants, once-punctured tori, and four-times-punctured spheres is totally geodesic. The main theorem resolves a special case of a conjecture made in [2] and has the implication that an embedded product of Farey graphs in any pants graph is totally geodesic. In addition, we show that a pants graph contains a convex n-flat if and only if it contains an n-quasi-flat.

description: High-intensity X-ray sources are essential diagnostic tools for science, technology and medicine. Such X-ray sources can be produced in laser-plasma accelerators, where electrons emit short-wavelength radiation due to their betatron oscillations in the plasma wake of a laser pulse. Contemporary available betatron radiation X-ray sources can deliver a collimated X-ray pulse of duration on the order of several femtoseconds from a source size of the order of several micrometres. In this paper we demonstrate, through particle-in-cell simulations, that the temporal resolution of such a source can be enhanced by an order of magnitude by a spatial modulation of the emitting relativistic electron bunch. The modulation is achieved by the interaction of the that electron bunch with a co-propagating laser beam which results in the generation of a train of equidistant sub-femtosecond X-ray pulses. The distance between the single pulses of a train is tuned by the wavelength of the modulation laser pulse. The modelled experimental setup is achievable with current technologies. Potential applications include stroboscopic sampling of ultrafast fundamental processes.

Operator constraints for twist-3 functions and Lorentz invariance properties of twist-3 observables

description: © 2016 American Physical Society. We investigate the behavior under Lorentz transformations of perturbative coefficient functions in a collinear twist-3 formalism relevant for high-energy observables including transverse polarization of hadrons. We argue that those perturbative coefficient functions can, a priori, acquire quite different yet Lorentz-invariant forms in various frames. This somewhat surprising difference can be traced back to a general dependence of the perturbative coefficient functions on light cone vectors which are introduced by the twist-3 factorization formulas and which are frame-dependent. One can remove this spurious frame dependence by invoking so-called Lorentz invariance relations (LIRs) between twist-3 parton correlation functions. Some of those relations for twist-3 distribution functions were discussed in the literature before. In this paper we derive the corresponding LIRs for twist-3 fragmentation functions. We explicitly demonstrate that these LIRs remove the light cone vector dependence by considering transverse spin observables in the single-inclusive production of hadrons in lepton-nucleon collisions, ℓ N→hX. With the LIRs in hand, we also show that twist-3 observables in general can be written solely in terms of three-parton correlation functions.

description: Monte Carlo (MC) methods are important computational tools for molecular structure optimizations and predictions. When solvent effects are explicitly considered, MC methods become very expensive due to the large degree of freedom associated with the water molecules and mobile ions. Alternatively implicit-solvent MC can largely reduce the computational cost by applying a mean field approximation to solvent effects and meanwhile maintains the atomic detail of the target molecule. The two most popular implicit-solvent models are the Poisson-Boltzmann (PB) model and the Generalized Born (GB) model in a way such that the GB model is an approximation to the PB model but is much faster in simulation time. In this work, we develop a machine learning-based implicit-solvent Monte Carlo (MLIMC) method by combining the advantages of both implicit solvent models in accuracy and efficiency. Specifically, the MLIMC method uses a fast and accurate PB-based machine learning (PBML) scheme to compute the electrostatic solvation free energy at each step. We validate our MLIMC method by using a benzene-water system and a protein-water system. We show that the proposed MLIMC method has great advantages in speed and accuracy for molecular structure optimization and prediction.

Exploring the current role of occupational health physicians in British Columbia
Creators: name: McKenzie, Helen Sandra
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The purpose of this study is to explore the current role of B.C. occupational health physicians. Four aspects of the role are studied: type of employment; relationships with allied professionals, management, labour, and government; type of tasks performed; professional education and clinical experience. In the United States, Great Britain and Canada, trends in the practice of occupational medicine are reviewed. A history of occupational medicine is given. Prelacement and periodic medical examinations and the physician's role as teacher, counsellor, rehabilitation officer and researcher are discussed. Six cases of B.C. occupational health physicians working in seven companies were studied. A descriptive approach is used. Field interviews and observations of the six physicians practicing occupational medicine are informal and flexible in design. This design permits the physician freedom to express his opinions about the practice of occupational medicine in B.C. trends in the practice of occupational medicine are reviewed. Results of the study suggest a need to develop occupational health and safety services by a third party agency. The need for recognition by management and labour of the complementary roles of industrial hygienist and occupational physician is discussed. British Columbia has various government agencies with acts and regulations pertinent to occupational health and safety. The recommendation is made to investigate the development of a single occupational health and safety act for B.C. A frequent task performed by physicians is the preplacement examination. The study recommends that a position paper be given by professional associations on the appropriate role of the physician and nurse in the preplacement screening and examination. Educational programs for the physician and allied occupational health professionals need to be developed. Professional recognition of occupational medicine by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada would enhance the professional status of the occupational health physician by colleagues, management and labour.

Mixing of shear Alfven wave packets

description: The propagation of shear Alfven wave packets in inhomogeneous magnetic fields, at the origin of their distortion, regardless of the occurrence of non-linear coupling, is considered. It is shown that the distortion mechanism can be regarded as mixing process and hence, standard "phase mixing" corresponds to the effect of an "Alfvenic" shear flow while enhanced dissipation at a magnetic X-point corresponds to mixing by an "Alfvenic" strain flow. The evolution of the global wave field is supposed to result from the dynamics of a superposition of wave packets and a kinetic equation for the wave energy is obtained following this eikonal (WKB) description. Since shear Alfven wave packets experience continuous shearing/straining while transported by an inhomogeneous Alfvenic flow $\mathbf{V}_{A}$, their mixing process, in physical space, is also a cascade of wave energy in k-space. The wave energy spectrum resulting from this linear mechanism of energy transfer is determined for the special case of waves propagating along chaotic magnetic field lines, the analog of a chaotic mixing process. The latter follows a $k^{-1}$ power-law, in the energy conserving range in $k$ space.

description: Part of a collection of correspondence from Kathleen Raine to Robin Skelton. Skelton was a British poet, academic, anthologist, and practicing Wiccan. He taught at Manchester University before emigrating to Canada in 1963, where he taught creative writing at the University of Victoria and started the literary magazine The Malahat Review. Also included are some letters to Skelton’s wife Sylvia, and his daughters. Spanning close to forty-five years, the correspondence discusses poetry, writing, and philosophy; particularly Platonism and Neoplatonism. Raine often refers to the writings of William Blake and W. B. Yeats. Many letters also mention contemporary literary figures at the time including: Herbert Read, Peter Russell, Liam Miller, and Thurairajah Tambimuttu. In this letter, Raine writes about anthologies and recent writing by Skelton. She also mentions Frank Wilson.
