Lithium in field Am and normal A-F-type stars

Preliminary abundances of lithium and a few other elements have been obtained for 31 field Am stars with good Hipparcos parallaxes, as well as for 36 normal A and F stars. Radial and projected rotational velocities were determined as well. We examine the Li abundance as a function of the stellar parameters: for normal stars, it is clearly bimodal for Teff < 7500 K, while Am-Fm stars are all somewhat Li-deficient in this range. The most Li-deficient stars - either Am or normal - tend to be at least slightly evolved, but the reverse is not true.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, poster presented at the conference "Element stratification in stars, 40 years of atomic diffusion", eds.

Anglo-Danish Empire: A Companion to the Reign of King Cnut the Great

Anglo-Danish Empire is an interdisciplinary handbook for the Danish conquest of England in 1016 and the subsequent reign of King Cnut the Great. Bringing together scholars from the fields of history, literature, archaeology and manuscript studies, the volume offers comprehensive analysis of England\u27s shift from Anglo-Saxon to Danish rule. It follows the history of this complicated transition, from the closing years of the reign of King Æthelred II and the Anglo-Danish wars to Cnut\u27s accession to the throne of England and his consolidation of power at home and abroad. Ruling from 1016 to 1035, Cnut drew England into a Scandinavian empire that stretched from Ireland to the Baltic. His reign rewrote the place of Denmark and England within Europe, altering the political and cultural landscapes of both countries for decades to come.https://scholarworks.wmich.edu/mip_nmw/1009/thumbnail.jp

An Examination of William Faulkner\u27s Use of Biblical Symbolism in Three Early Novels: The Sound and the Fury, As I Lay Dying, and Light in August

During the years 1928-1932, William Faulkner wrote and published three novels containing varying but significant amounts of Biblical content and symbolism: The Sound and the Fury (1929), As I Lay Dying (1930), and Light in August (1932). In The Sound and the Fury, the characters of Benjy and Quentin Compson share some characteristics of Christ figures, but receive irony-laden treatment. The novel, however, presents the purest Christian character of this period of Faulkner\u27s writing--the Compson family\u27s Negro servant Dilsey. The Bible holds a similar influence over As I Lay Dying, specifically in the Old Testament. The Christian characters in this novel are ironically portrayed as bigots, while seemingly less moral characters are viewed as more spiritual. Light in August features both Faulkner\u27s strongest Christ figure (the misunderstood Joe Christmas) and the most complicated minister (the jaded Rev. Hightower) of this early period. In all, this use of Biblical symbolism stems from a profound understanding of Christian thought and doctrine on Faulkner\u27s part
