Initiating a community eye health programme in an unfamiliar culture and language can be a daunting task. This report focuses on an underutilised resource for community eye health: American Peace Corps volunteers. The Peace Corps is a governmentsponsored service organisation. At present, there are 7,876 Peace Corps volunteers serving in 76 lowand middle-income countries around the world. Of tho...

To increase Navy Nurse Corps manpower management efficiency, we developed a Markov model of the personnel flow of junior officers (O1-O4). The Nurse Corps manages personnel primarily through the recruitment process, drawing on multiple accession sources. Accession sources were shown to have a statistically significant effect on promotion and retention rates. However, these effects were not foun...

Let G be a split simple group of type G2 over a field k, and let g be its Lie algebra. Answering a question of J.-L. Colliot-Thélène, B. Kunyavskĭi, V. L. Popov, and Z. Reichstein, we show that the function field k(g) is generated by algebraically independent elements over the field of adjoint invariants k(g). Résumé. Soit G un groupe algébrique simple et déployé de type G2 sur un corps k. Soit...

— We consider real quadratic extensions of the rational field over a finite field of characteristic two. After recalling the equation of such extensions, we present a geometric approach of the continued fraction expansion algorithm to compute the regulator. Finally, we study the ideal class number one problem and give numerous examples for which the ideal class number equals one. Résumé (Extens...
