For a linear group G acting on an absolutely irreducible variety X over Q, we describe the orbits of X(Qp) under G(Qp) and of X(Fp((t))) under G(Fp((t))) for p big enough. This allows us to show that the degree of a wide class of orbital integrals over Qp or Fp((t)) is ≤ 0 for p big enough, and similarly for all finite field extensions of Qp and Fp((t)).

Variations in optical spectrum and modulation bandwidth of a modulated Fabry–Pérot (FP) semiconductor laser subject to the external light injection from another FP Laser is investigated in this paper. Optimal wavelength matching conditions for two FP lasers are discussed. A series of experiments show that two FP lasers should have a central wavelength overlapping and a mode spacing difference o...

BACKGROUND Recent trials demonstrate increased pneumonia risk in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients treated with the inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) fluticasone propionate (FP). There is limited work describing FP effects on host defenses against bacterial pneumonia. METHODS C57BL/6 mice received daily, nose-only exposure to nebulized FP or vehicle for 8 days, followed by pulmonary c...

Let Fq be a finite field of q elements of characteristic p. The classical algorithm of Berlekamp [1] reduces the problem of factoring polynomials of degree n over Fq to the problem of factoring squarefree polynomials of degree n over Fp that fully split in Fp, see also [8, Chapter 14]. Shoup [15, Theorem 3.1] has given a deterministic algorithm that fully factors any polynomial of degree n over...

Fractional programming (FP) refers to a family of optimization problems that involve ratio term(s). This two-part paper explores the use of FP in the design and optimization of communication systems. Part I of this paper focuses on FP theory and on solving continuous problems. The main theoretical contribution is a novel quadratic transform technique for tackling the multiple-ratio concave-conv...

Fish oil (FO) has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties in animal models of inflammatory bowel disease, but how fish peptides (FP) influence intestinal inflammation has been less studied. Male Wistar rats, divided into five groups, were included in a 4-week dietary intervention study. Of the groups, four were exposed in the fourth week to 5 % dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) to induce col...

The optimal age to cryopreserve oocytes for later use is before 36 years. Current users are on average 38 years old. In this cross-sectional study an online survey was constructed about the factors associated with the intentions of childless women aged 28-35 years to use fertility preservation (FP). Questions were derived from the Theory of Planned Behaviour (attitudes and subjective norms rega...

BACKGROUND Although the majority of postpartum women indicate a desire to delay a next birth, family planning (FP) methods are often not offered to, or taken up by, women in the first year postpartum. This study uses data from urban Senegal to examine exposure to FP information and services at the time of delivery and at child immunization appointments and to determine if these points of integr...

For a linear group G acting on an absolutely irreducible variety X over Q, we describe the orbits of X(Qp) under G(Qp) and of X(Fp((t))) under G(Fp((t))) for p big enough. This allows us to show that the degree of a wide class of orbital integrals over Qp or Fp((t)) is ≤ 0 for p big enough, and similarly for all finite field extensions of Qp and Fp((t)).

The optical performances of a liquid crystal ~LC! Fabry–Perot ~FP! etalon in various configurations were simulated by a faster 434 matrix method. Results show that the FP with a 90° twisted nematic LC is polarization insensitive if the applied voltage exceeds ;3X of the Freedericksz transition threshold. This method can well depict the transmission spectra of the FP cavity and, therefore, is us...
