Revised fits to $\Delta \alpha /\alpha$ in consistency with the accelerating universe

Abstract

An attempt is made for a new type of analysis of the time-variability of the fine-structure constant trying to fit the most recent result from the laboratory measurements, the Oklo constraint and the data from the QSO absorption lines all in consistency with the accelerating universe.
