description: The recent measurement of a half-integer thermal conductance for the $ν=5/2$ fractional quantum Hall state has confirmed its non-Abelian nature, making the question of the underlying topological order highly intriguing. We analyze the shot noise at the edge of the three most prominent non-Abelian candidate states. We show that the noise scaling with respect to the edge length can, in combination with the thermal conductance, be used to experimentally distinguish between the Pfaffian, anti-Pfaffian, and particle-hole-Pfaffian edge structures.

description: In this study, we apply our previously developed method to investigate ancient transient sightings in order to derive consequences for modern astrophysical problems.We present case studies of three observations of so called 'guest stars' in the 4th century CE which lasted several months each. These three observations had been suggested and discussed as possible supernovae but slow novae are also viable alternatives. Our careful re-interpretation of the historical texts and the currently known objects in the given fields shed new light on this topic. In particular, for the two events in 386 and 393 CE we suggest possible supernova identifications, while in all three cases there are interesting candidates for past classical or recurrent nova eruptions among known cataclysmic variables (CVs) and/or symbiotic stars. The transient of 369, we suggest to explain as classical and possibly recurrent nova instead of a supernova. The most plausible candidates are BZ Cam, a CV with a possible nova shell, or CQ Dra, a naked eye multiple system perhaps able to permit an overwhelmingly bright nova with day-time visibility.

description: Dependence on foreign oil remains a serious issue for the U.S. economy. Additionally, automobile emissions related to petroleum-based, fossil fuel has been cited as one source of environmental problems, such as globalwarming and reduced air quality. Using agricultural and forest biomass as a source for the biofuel ethanol industry, provides a partial solution by displacing some fossil fuels. However, the use of high cost enzymes as an input is a significant limitation for ethanol production. Economic analyses of cellulase enzyme production costs using solid state cultivation (SSC) are performed and compared to the traditional submerged fermentation (SmF) method. Results from this study indicate that the unit costs for the cellulase enzyme production are $15.67 per kilogram ($/kg)and $40.36/kg, for the SSC and SmF methods, respectively, while the market price for the cellulase enzyme is $36.00/kg. Profitability analysis and sensitivity analysis also provide positive results. Since these results indicate that the SSC method is economical, ethanol production costs may be reduced, with the potential to make ethanol a viable supplemental fuel source in light of current political, economic and environmental issues.

description: Pricing to market (PTM) has been examined extensively in the recent trade literature using Knetter's (1989) model. The technique is typically applied using export unit values that aggregate differentiated products. We examine the potential bias in PTM results when using export unit values using a vertical differentiation model. We find that: i) false evidence of PTM ("pseudo PTM") is always found due to aggregation when calculating export unit values, whether the law of one price (LOP) holds or not; ii)when markets are segmented, the fraction of pseudo PTM increases with the level of product differentiation. Correspondingly, our simulation results suggest that: i) it is possible to get a statistically significant estimate of the exchange rate coefficient, even when there is no real PTM; ii) the significance of the estimate increases with product differentiation.

description: The work is devoted to the construction of explicit embeddings for the metrics of the black holes, formed by nonsingular matter distribution. One of the possible examples of such type of solutions is regular black hole. Using the existing classification of minimal symmetric embeddings of the Schwarzschild metric as a base, we construct embeddings for regular black holes with de Sitter interior. Another simple example is black hole, formed by collapsing homogeneous spherically symmetric cloud of dustlike matter. We discuss embeddings for two variants of such black holes - the one with the eternally existing horizon, when dust ball never leaves the interior of the horizon, and another variant with the dynamically forming horizon.

description: Wolf-Rayet stars are advanced evolutionary stages of massive stars. Despite their large mass-loss rates and high wind velocities, none of them display a bow shock, although a fraction of them are classified as runaway. Our 2.5-D numerical simulations of circumstellar matter around a 60Mo runaway star show that the fast Wolf-Rayet stellar wind is released into a wind-blown cavity filled with various shocks and discontinuities generated throughout the precedent evolutionary phases. The resulting fast-wind slow-wind interaction leads to the formation of spherical shells of swept-up dusty material similar to those observed in near infrared 24 micron with Spitzer, and which appear to be co-moving with the runaway massive stars, regardless of their proper motion and/or the properties of the local ambient medium. We interpret bright infrared rings around runaway Wolf-Rayet stars in the Galactic plane, like WR138a, as indication of their very high initial masses and a complex evolutionary history. Stellar-wind bow shocks become faint as stars run in diluted media, therefore, our results explain the absence of detected bow shocks around Galactic Wolf-Rayet stars such as the high-latitude, very fast-moving objects WR71, WR124 and WR148. Our results show that the absence of a bow shock is consistent with a runaway nature of some Wolf-Rayet stars. This questions the in-situ star formation scenario of high-latitude Wolf-Rayet stars in favor of dynamical ejection from birth sites in the Galactic plane.

description: Mr grandfather Colin Colgrave volunteered to fight for his country in World War 1. He left a wife, Mary and two young children, Olga Mary and Colin Junior, at home and set off to Beverley in Yorkshire to sign up to the East Yorkshire Regiment. He had promised his daughter that he would send postcards to her for the post card book he had bought. He sent cards from his training camps and other places he visited, and from Egypt when he was later posted there. He also wrote letters to his wife and to his son, and Mary wrote back to him regularly although he often didn't receive them so regularly, more often several at once. Some of her letters were returned together with his other belongings after his death. He had promised Mary he would send some of the silk postcards made by local women and also a rosary from Lourdes if he could. These were all kept safely by Mary together with his army records and his medals. It seems that the children were allowed to play with his medals as the appropriate ribbons have become detached, which I imagine Mary felt might keep their father in their memories. After all they were only 5 and 2 respectively when he died. My mother Olga Mary always brought us up to respect Armistice Day and when we were lucky enough to acquire our first TV, we were encouraged to watch the service and parade at The Cenotaph, and stand in silence for 2 minutes. It wasn't until after her death that these treasures came to light. After all, no-one ever wanted to talk about the war. Colin was fatally wounded in the Battle of Mouquet Farm (1916) by a rifle shot which caused a compound fracture to his right femur. He was taken to the No. 3 Canadian Hospital at Boulogne but developed gas gangrene and died at 0310hrs on 26th September 1916. 16818 Acting Corporal Colin Colgrave, of 6th Battalion East Yorkshire Regiment, is buried at East Boulogne Cemetery, France. He was 24 years old and gave his life for our tomorrows. May he rest in peace.

description: We use a spatially-explicit analytical framework to compare mandatory refuges and a tax on the resistant variety as regulation instruments for pest resistance management. Because the extraction of the common-pool pest susceptibility resource depends on the spatial pattern of pest dispersal, we find that the usual preference for market-based environmental instruments does not necessarily apply to pest resistance management. Mandatory refuges are preferred to a tax on the resistant variety for some assumption sets on heterogeneity between farms and pest dispersal distances.

description: This paper provides results from a producers survey that enquired about the complexity of the regulatory environment in California. The primary objective of this paper is to examine the relationship between the complexity of the regulatory environment, agricultural industries in California, and different regions in California. This objective is achieved by taking information gathered from a producers survey and applying an ordered logit econometric model using complexity of the regulatory environment as the dependent variable. A secondary objective of this study is to develop a motivation why the complexity of the regulatory environment is important issue to consider. To achieve this goal, the perception of the complexity of the regulatory environment will be examined with potential management options that producers can take including increasing and decreasing their size of operation, leaving agricultural production, and moving out of the state.

description: Currently over 30% of American adults are obese, more than twice the percentage prevalent in 1980 (American Obesity Association). At the same time, almost 65% adult Americans are said to be overweight. Such high prevalence levels are a major public health concern. Both overweight and obesity are associated with increased health risk for chronic diseases such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke, fatty liver disease and some forms of cancer. In this paper we explore the factors that contribute to increasing rates of obesity and overweight, and study the differences in years 1996 and 2002. We use a multilevel econometric approach to model the four classifications of body mass index (BMI) obese, overweight, healthy and underweight - as a function of individual characteristics, lifestyle indicators and external environment. The results are reasonably consistent within the two years and with findings from previous studies. However, three significant differences are found between the two years at the state-level. Two of them are completely new findings. Higher urban residency is associated with lower rates of overweight and obesity. On the other hand, higher participation in food-stamp programs in the more recent year is associated with increasing prevalence of obesity. Excise tax on cigarettes also has a positive association with obesity only. Previous studies have uses either per-capita sales of restaurants, or price of meals available in fast-food and full-service restaurants. We explored a new variable density of fast-food and full-service restaurants serving meals over a wide price range. Such a variable is used to not only capture the importance of difference between fast-food restaurants and full-service restaurants, but to also distinguish between the effects of lower-priced and higher-priced meals. We find that lower-priced food from fast-food restaurants has positive effect, and higher-priced food from full-service restaurants has negative effect. Three new individual-level lifestyle predictors have been added, and they all seem to be significant in explaining the weight outcomes. Inadequate consumption of fruits and vegetables, irregular or no exercise, and poor self-reported health status are all significantly associated with increasing rates of overweight and obesity.
Flux Compactification of M-theory on Compact Manifolds with Spin(7) Holonomy

Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: At the leading order, M-theory admits minimal supersymmetric compactifications if the internal manifold has exceptional holonomy. The inclusion of non-vanishing fluxes in M-theory and string theory compactifications induce a superpotential in the lower dimensional theory, which depends on the fluxes. In this work, we verify the conjectured form of this superpotential in the case of warped M-theory compactifications on Spin(7) holonomy manifolds. We calculate the most general causal N=1 three-dimensional, gauge invariant action coupled to matter in superspace and derive its component form using Ectoplasmic integration theory. We also derive a perturbative set of solutions which emerges from a warped compactification on a Spin(7) holonomy manifold with non-vanishing flux for the M-theory field strength and we show that in general the Ricci flatness of the internal manifold is lost. Using the superpotential form we identify the supersymmetric vacua out of this general set of solutions.

description: Migration of immune cells within the human body allows them to fulfill their main function of detecting pathogens. Adopting an optimal navigation and search strategy by these cells is of crucial importance to achieve an efficient immune response. Analyzing the dynamics of dendritic cells in our in vitro experiments reveals that the directional persistence of these cells is highly correlated with their migration speed, and that the persistence-speed coupling enables the migrating cells to reduce their search time. We introduce theoretically a new class of random search optimization problems by minimizing the mean first-passage time (MFPT) with respect to the strength of the coupling between influential parameters such as speed and persistence length. We derive an analytical expression for the MFPT in a confined geometry and verify that the correlated motion improves the search efficiency if the mean persistence length is sufficiently shorter than the confinement size. In contrast, a positive persistence-speed correlation even increases the MFPT at long persistence length regime, thus, such a strategy is disadvantageous for highly persistent active agents.

description: We study elastic manifolds in a N-dimensional random potential using functional RG. We extend to N>1 our previous construction of a field theory renormalizable to two loops. For isotropic disorder with O(N) symmetry we obtain the fixed point and roughness exponent to next order in epsilon=4-d, where d is the internal dimension of the manifold. Extrapolation to the directed polymer limit d=1 allows some handle on the strong coupling phase of the equivalent N-dimensional KPZ growth equation, and eventually suggests an upper critical dimension of about 2.5.

Learners’ practice and theory about Japanese honorifics : an oral interview activity with native speakers
Creators: name: Ode, Maki
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Japanese honorifics (JH) are challenging for learners of Japanese language to acquire due to their complex grammatical formulas. Textbooks tend to assume that the explanation of grammatical rules and drill exercises focusing on the rules are sufficient for learners to be competent in JH. However, functional issues related to honorifics such as how to use honorifics in socioculturally appropriate ways or how to deal with non-linguistic aspects of honorifics are likely to be ignored. The present study questioned the assumptions entailed in the traditional formoriented approach to teaching language, and examined an oral interview activity carried out by 24 students in a Japanese language course at a Canadian university. In this activity, the students interviewed Japanese professors using JH, and several types of data (i.e., the researcher observations and interviews with the participants and student written reflections on the interviews) were analyzed in order to find out students' practice (i.e., what students did) of and theory (i.e., how students perceived) about JH and oral interviews. The findings of the study present a very complex picture of students' practice and theory; they were engaged not only in the formation of the rules of JH but also in the functional areas such as non-verbal behaviour and conversation management. The data also revealed that students were very much concerned with functional areas during the interviews. From these findings, the study emphasizes the importance offunctions embedded in JH, and suggests that the Japanese teacher help learners acquire the functional competence dealing with JH as well as the linguistic competence.

description: In this paper, we have investigated one of the alternative theories to dark matter named MOdified Gravity (MOG) by testing its ability to describe the local dynamics of the Milky Way in vertical and transverse directions with the baryonic matter. MOG is designed to interpret the dynamics of galaxies and cluster of galaxies without the need for dark matter. We use local observational data such as the vertical dispersion, rotation curve, surface density and number density of stars in the Milky Way to obtained the parameters of MOG and the baryonic component of MW by implementing a Bayesian approach to the parameter estimation based on a Markov Chain Monte Carlo method. We compare our results with the dark matter model of MW. The two models of MOG and CDM are able to describe equally well the rotation curve and the vertical dynamics of stars in the local MW. The best values for the free parameters of MOG in this analysis is obtained as $α= 8.99 \pm 0.02 $ and $μ=0.054\pm 0.005$ kpc$^{-1}$. Also, we obtain the parameters of the generalized gNFW model in the dark matter model. Our best value of bulge mass from MOG is $(1.06 \pm 0.26)\times10^{10}\rm M_{\odot}$ which is consistent with the estimations form the microlensing observations.

We start by reviewing briefly all proposed one dimensional versions of SM. Next, we compare the results obtained from Monte Carlo simulations with the mean field results obtained by Slanina and Lavicka . Finally, we investigate the relaxation on the square lattice and compare two generalizations of SM, one suggested by Stauffer and another by Galam. We show that there are no qualitative differences between these two approaches, although the relaxation within the Galam rule is faster than within the well known Stauffer rule.

description: Online forums and social media platforms are increasingly being used to discuss topics of varying polarities where different people take different stances. Several methodologies for automatic stance detection from text have been proposed in literature. To our knowledge, there has not been any systematic investigation towards their reproducibility, and their comparative performances. In this work, we explore the reproducibility of several existing stance detection models, including both neural models and classical classifier-based models. Through experiments on two datasets -- (i)~the popular SemEval microblog dataset, and (ii)~a set of health-related online news articles -- we also perform a detailed comparative analysis of various methods and explore their shortcomings. Implementations of all algorithms discussed in this paper are available at https://github.com/prajwal1210/Stance-Detection-in-Web-and-Social-Media.

description: A d-wave, Eliashberg analysis of break junction and STM tunneling spectra on BiSrCaCuO (Bi2212) reveals that a spectral dip feature is directly linked to strong electronic coupling to a narrow boson spectrum, evidenced by a large peak in the boson spectral weight. The tunneling dip feature remains robust in the overdoped regime of Bi2212 with bulk Tc values of 56 K-62 K. This is contrary to recent optical conductivity measurements of the self-energy that suggest the narrow boson spectrum disappears in overdoped Bi2212 and therefore cannot be essential for the pairing mechanism. The discrepancy is resolved by considering the way each technique probes the electron self-energy, in particular, the unique sensitivity of tunneling to the off-diagonal or pairing part of the self-energy.

description: Using {\it ab initio} band structure calculations and symmetry arguments, we show that the magnetic property of Ga$_{1-x}$Gd$_x$N is drastically different from TM-doped GaN. The coupling between Gd atoms in the alloy is antiferromagnetic, but the ferromagnetic phase can be stabilized by introducing electrons. Furthermore, we propose a model that may explain the recently observed colossal magnetic moments in this system, based on the polarization of donor electrons.
Freezing and re-entrant melting of hard discs in a one-dimensional potential:\\ Predictions based on a pressure-balance equation

description: We investigate theoretically the freezing behaviour of a two-dimensional (2D) system of hard discs on a one-dimensional (1D) external potential (typically called laser-induced freezing). As shown by earlier theoretical and numerical studies, one observes freezing of the modulated liquid upon increase of the substrate potential amplitude, and re-entrant melting back into the modulated liquid when the substrate potential amplitude is increased even further. The purpose of our present work is to calculate the freezing and re-entrant melting phase diagram based on information from the bulk system. To this end, we employ an integrated pressure-balance equation derived from density functional theory [Phys. Rev. E \textbf{101}, 012609 (2020)]. Furthermore, we define a measure to quantify the influence of registration effects that qualitatively explain re-entrant melting. Despite severe approximations, the calculated phase diagram shows good agreement with the known phase diagram obtained by Monte Carlo simulations.

description: With the recent proliferation of Regional Trade Agreements (RTAs) the tendency world-wide has been seemingly toward trade liberalization. This thesis is primarily concerned with the impacts RTAs have had in the Western Hemisphere regarding agricultural trade flows. Utilizing the framework of the Gravity Model, agricultural trade flows for 24 Western Hemisphere Nations were examined. In the course of the study it was expected that if RTAs were to have an effect it would be a positive Trade Creation Effect and a negative Trade Diversion Effect with positive effects for GDP of importer/exporter and population size of importer/exporter and a negative effect for that of distance. Of the five agreements examined (NAFTA, AC, MERCO, LAIA, and CACM), NAFTA and LAIA were the only positive (but non-significant) as to Trade Creation effects while AC, MERCO, and CACM were all negative (but non-significant). It was also interesting to note that of the agreements, NAFTA, had both a positive and significant (p=0.023) diversionary effect with the remaining agreements all being negative (as expected) and significant regarding trade diversion. It was also concluded that GDP (importer) and distance also had the expected signs (+, respectively) with distance also being significant (p=0.0001). It was concluded that RTAs had a more pronounced effect on inter-industry trade versus intra-industry trade and that with the passage of more time, further analysis may substantiate the claim of a positive RTA effect on agricultural bilateral trade flows.

description: Abstract: This project is a portable laser engraving device with improved mobility and performance using a typical low
cost and high efficient 32-bit CNC motherboard. The machine's user-friendly features, when combined with an HC-05
module and wireless serial connection via Bluetooth with this engraver, allow users to design and engrave directly on a
range of materials, such as glass, plastic, and wood. Alternatively, control versatility can be increased by using
LaserGRBL and other appropriate software to accomplish wireless serial communication over Bluetooth. The 32-bit
motherboard offers several advantages over traditional Arduino-based systems, including as reduced vibration, faster

description: Ecuadorian farmers do not play the investment game (Berg, Dickhaut and McCabe 1995) the same with community farmers as they do with agricultural technicians. Women exhibit a preference for trust in agricultural technicians (vertical trust). Using experimental and survey data from 191 farmers we examine factors associated with 1) farmer trust in community members, 2) farmer trust in agricultural technicians, and 3) differences between levels of trust in agricultural technicians and community farmers. Then we explore how our measures of trust correlate with pesticide knowledge. Farmers who place more trust in community farmers score lower on our pesticide knowledge exam. We find that farmers who exhibit a preference for trusting agricultural technicians score higher on our pesticide knowledge exam.

description: The collapsar model for gamma-ray bursts requires three essential ingredients: a massive core, removal of the hydrogen envelope, and enough angular momentum in the core. We study current massive star evolution models of solar metallicity to determine which massive star physics is capable of producing these ingredients. In particular, we investigate the role of hydrodynamic and magnetic internal angular momentum transport and binary mass and angular momentum transfer. We follow the evolution of rotating single stars and of binary systems that include rotational processes for both stars. Neglecting magnetic fields, we show that the cores of massive single stars can maintain a high specific angular momentum when evolved with the assumption that mean molecular weight gradients suppress rotational mixing processes. In binary systems that undergo mass transfer during core hydrogen burning the mass receiving star accretes large amounts of high angular momentum material, leading to a spin-up of the core. We find, however, that this merely compensates for the tidal angular momentum loss due to spin-orbit coupling, which leads to synchronous rotation before the mass transfer event. Therefore the resulting cores do not rotate faster than in single stars. We also present models that include magnetic fields generated by differential rotation and we consider the internal angular momentum transport by magnetic torques. We investigate the capability of magnetic torques to efficiently pump angular momentum into the cores of accreting stars. Despite our finding that this mechanism works, the magnetic coupling of core and envelope after the accreting star ends core hydrogen burning leads to slower rotation than in the non-magnetic case.

description: Precision agriculture (PA) in crop production refers to the management approach in which inputs are applied according to the site-specific demand and timing in order to improve efficiency of inputs and farm profitability. Among the variety of techniques under the concept of PA, variable rate application (VRA) of both phosphorus and nitrogen fertilizers, and temporal as well as spatial variability of corn crop response to these fertilizers were studied for the potential contribution of VRA of fertilizers to farm profitability. The crop response data were generated by an on-farm experiment in Windom (Cottonwood County, Minnesota) in 1997, 1999, and 2001, using a commercially cultivated field of 10 ha area, where corn and soybean were rotated. Using a fractional factorial design, three phosphorus fertilizer rates (0.0, 56.2, and 112.3 kg ha-1) and five N-fertilizer rates (0.0, 67.4, 112.3, 157.3 and 202.2 kg ha-1) were applied to the field before corn planting. The observed yields were regressed on these treatment rates and site-specific crop response functions (SS-CRFs) were estimated using maximum likelihood estimation. The SS-CRFs were employed for the optimization problem and the site-specific economically optimal rates (SS-EORs) of phosphorus and nitrogen were obtained as the solution of the profit maximization problem. The temporal as well as spatial variations in these SS-EORs were observed; the estimated SS-EORs of phosphorus and nitrogen fertilizers varied among 33 sites from 0.0 to 112.3 kg ha-1 and from 0.0 to 202.2 kg ha-1, respectively in each year. Moreover, the results indicate that applying the SS-EORs could have been more profitable than uniform rate. The total gains from changing to the SS-EORs from the uniform rates (P = 56.2 kg ha-1 and N = 157.3 kg ha-1) would have been $63.58 ha-1, $64.34 ha-1, and $117.42 ha-1 in 1997, 1999, and 2001, respectively. This study indicates that VRA of fertilizers potentially improve the profitability of corn production. In order for this technology to become practical, some obstacles need to be removed, such as a less expensive method to obtain SS-EORs than on-farm experiences, less expensive machinery, more accurate functional form for SS-CRFs than quadratic functions. Once VRA technologies advance and become inexpensive, the "potential" gain from VRA can be fully realized.

description: This fairly basically made ring is engraved with the image of a WW1 tank. It is made of white metal and there are no other markings on it. According to my father (who died in 2007) it was "... taken from the body of a dead German officer in no man's land 1917". I do not know by whom. Although his father - Albert Gorge Warren served in WW1, he lost a leg during the Battle of the Somme in 1916 so it could not have been him. Other relatives also served, though.

description: We report Atacama-Large-millimeter-Array (ALMA) Band 6 full-polarization observations of the lensed blazar PKS1830-211 during its record-breaking radio and gamma-ray flare in the spring of 2019. The observations were taken close to the peak of the gamma activity and show a clear difference in polarization state between the two time-delayed images. The leading image has a fractional polarization about three times lower than the trailing image, implying that significant depolarization occurred during the flare. In addition, we observe clear intra-hour variability of the polarization properties between the two lensed images, with a quasi-linear increase of the differential electric-vector position angle at a rate of about two degrees per hour, associated with changes of the relative fractional polarization of ~10%. This variability, combined with the lower polarization close to the peak of gamma activity, is in agreement with models of magnetic turbulence to explain polarization variability in blazar jets. Finally, the comparison of results from the full and differential polarization analysis confirms that the differential polarization technique (Marti-Vidal et al. 2016) can provide useful information on the polarization state of sources like gravitationally lensed radio-loud quasars.

description: XMM-Newton spectra of five red, 2MASS AGN, selected from a sample observed by Chandra to be relatively X-ray bright and to cover a range of hardness ratios, confirm the presence of substantial absorbing material in three sources with optical classifications ranging from Type 1 to Type 2. A flat (hard), power law continuum is observed in the other two. The combination of X-ray absorption and broad optical emission lines suggests either a small (nuclear) absorber or a favored viewing angle so as to cover the X-ray source but not the broad emission line region (BELR). A soft excess is detected in all three Type 1 sources. We speculate that this may arise in an extended region of ionised gas, perhaps linked with the polarised (scattered) optical light present in these sources. The spectral complexity revealed by XMM-Newton emphasizes the limitations of the low S/N \chandra data. The new results strengthen our earlier conclusions that the observed X-ray continua of red AGN are unusually hard at energies >2 keV. Their observed spectra are consistent with contributing significantly to the missing hard/absorbed population of the Cosmic X-ray Background (CXRB) although their intrinsic power law slopes are typical of broad-line (Type 1) AGN (Gamma ~1.7-1.9). This suggests that the missing X-ray-absorbed CXRB population may include Type 1 AGN/QSOs in addition to the Type 2 AGN generally assumed.

description: Dr Sybil Lonie Lewis was an early female doctor who studied medicine in Edinburgh and Dublin, qualifying in 1905. She practised in Hull where she was a school medical officer. In the spring of 1915 Dr Lewis volunteered for work in Serbia and went out there in June under the Scottish Women's Hospitals. She was in Serbia when the country was overrun by the enemy and the hospital staffs taken prisoner later in 1915. Although a Red Cross party, they were detained in Hungary for four months under the roughest conditions. In February 1916 they were released and sent home. Dr Lewis went out again in August 1916 and worked with the Serbian army and the civilian population in Macedonia until December 1917 when she returned home. She was in poor health and became ill in March 1918. Her illness lasted only three days and in the opinion of the doctor attending her death was directly attributable to conditions contracted during her service abroad. She received the Serbian decoration of the Order of St Sava in recognition of her devoted work among the Serbs. Her ashes are buried in Old St Paul's Episcopal Church in Central Edinburgh, marked by a brass plaque. Categorised as "war dead" hers is the only female name on the war memorial in Old St Paul's. Dr Lewis kept a detailed diary during her time in the Balkans. Due to her early and sudden death the diaries were not published but are copied here along with related papers and medal photos. Dr Lewis was my great-aunt.
