Book Review: The Lion in the Waste Land: Fearsome Redemption in the Work of C. S. Lewis, Dorothy L. Sayers, and T. S. Eliot by Janice Brown

Excerpt: Readers of scholarship about C. S. Lewis are familiar with studies that discuss his work and life in the context of his fellow Inklings: Tolkien, Williams, and Barfield. Janice Brown’s decision, however, to treat C. S. Lewis alongside two of his contemporary writers, both non-Inklings—Dorothy L. Sayers and T. S. Eliot—does demand an explanation. Brown must have recognized as much since she begins The Lion in the Waste Land by building a case for considering these three authors together, citing British historian Adrian Hastings, who identifies a “re-appropriation of Christian faith” during World War II and attributes this revival to the “Anglican lay literary and theological writers C. S. Lewis, T. S. Eliot, and Dorothy L. Sayers” (2)

PENGARUH KEBIJAKAN BAGASI BERBAYAR PADA MASKAPAI LION AIR TERHADAP KEPUASAN PENUMPANG DI BANDAR UDARA DOMINE EDUARD OSOK SORONG

This thesis research is motivated by the paid baggage system policy implemented by Lion Air airline in 2019. Lion Air is known as an airline whose services use low cost carrier/LCC with cheap ticket prices and waived baggage fees. For the Papua route, Lion Air is the only airline that operates and reaches the interior of Papua with quite expensive ticket prices. With this policy, it might burden the community, especially the lower middle class. The purpose of this research is to determine the influence and how much influence the Lion Air airline's paid baggage policy has on passenger satisfaction at Domine Eduard Osok Sorong Airport. This research uses a quantitative approach with an analysis technique, namely simple linear regression. The results of this research show that the paid baggage policy at Domine Eduard Osok Sorong Airport has a significant effect on passenger satisfaction due to the significance value obtained where T count (20.695) > T table (1.662). T calculated with a significance level of 0.00 < 0.05 and a value of the coefficient of determination of 0.0831, this means that 83.1% of the variation in changes in passenger satisfaction can be explained by the paid baggage policy. So it can be concluded that Ha is accepted and Ho is rejected

Complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Asiatic lion (Panthera leo persica)

The complete mitochondrial genome sequence 17,059 bp of Asiatic lion (Panthera leo persica) has been sequenced with the use of next generation sequencing technology using Ion TorrentPGM platform. The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Asiatic lion consists of 13 protein-coding, 22 tRNA and two rRNA genes and 1 Control Region (CR). The mitochondrial genome is relatively similar to other felid mitochondrial genomes with respect to gene arrangement, composition, tRNA structures and skews of AT/GC bases to be typical of those reported for other mammals. The nucleotide composition of Asiatic lion mitogenome shows that there is more A-T% than G-C% on the positive strand as revealed by positive AT and CG skews. The overall base composition is 31.9% of A, 27.2% of C, 14.5% of G and 26.2% of T. Most of the genes have ATA start codons, except ND1, COX2, ATP8, ATP6, ND4 and ND5 have ATG start codons

Survey- and fishery-derived estimates of Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus) biomass: implications for strategies to reduce interactions between groundfish fisheries and Steller sea lions (Eumetopias jubatus)

Survey- and fishery-derived biomass estimates have indicated that the harvest indices for Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus) within a portion of Steller sea lion (Eumetopias jubatus) critical habitat in February and March 2001 were five to 16 times greater than the annual rate for the entire Bering Sea-Aleutian Islands stock. A bottom trawl survey yielded a cod biomass estimate of 49,032 metric tons (t) for the entire area surveyed, of which less than half (23,329 t) was located within the area used primarily by the commercial fishery, which caught 11,631 t of Pacific cod. Leslie depletion analyses of fishery data yielded biomass estimates of approximately 14,500 t (95% confidence intervals of approximately 9,000–25,000 t), which are within the 95% confidence interval on the fished area survey estimate (12,846–33,812 t). These data indicate that Leslie analyses may be useful in estimating local fish biomass and harvest indices for certain marine fisheries that are well constrained spatially and relatively short in duration (weeks). In addition, fishery effects on prey availability within the time and space scales relevant to foraging sea lions may be much greater than the effects indicated by annual harvest rates estimated from stock assessments averaged across the range of the target spe

Diffusive Capture Process on Complex Networks

We study the dynamical properties of a diffusing lamb captured by a diffusing lion on the complex networks with various sizes of $N$. We find that the life time $of a lamb scales as \sim N$ and the survival probability $S(N\to \infty,t)$ becomes finite on scale-free networks with degree exponent $\gamma>3$. However, $S(N,t)$ for $\gamma<3$ has a long-living tail on tree-structured scale-free networks and decays exponentially on looped scale-free networks. It suggests that the second moment of degree distribution $is the relevant factor for the dynamical properties in diffusive capture process. We numerically find that the normalized number of capture events at a node with degree$k$,$n(k)$, decreases as$n(k)\sim k^{-\sigma}$. When$\gamma<3$,$n(k)$still increases anomalously for$k\approx k_{max}$. We analytically show that$n(k)$satisfies the relation$n(k)\sim k^2P(k)$and the total number of capture events$N_{tot}$is proportional to$, which causes the $\gamma$ dependent behavior of $S(N,t)$ and $.Comment: 9 pages, 6 figure
