Now pick any γ = ( a b c d ) in SL2(Z). Suppose c 6= 0. If |a| ≥ |c|, write a = cq + r with 0 ≤ r < |c|. Then T−qγ has upper left entry a − qc, which is smaller in absolute value than the lower left entry c. Applying S switches these entries (with a sign change), and we apply the division theorem in Z again if the lower left entry is nonzero. Eventually multiplication of γ on the left by enough...

Laparoscopically-assisted vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH) was performed in fifteen patients without invasive cancer. Indications for hysterectomy were myomas, abnormal uterine bleeding unresponsive to hormonal treatment and dilatation and curettage, chronic pelvic pain with first degree uterine prolapse and possible adenomyosis, and dysplasia and ovarian cyst in postmenopausal years. No signif...

BACKGROUND Every year around 50 million unintended pregnancies worldwide are terminated by induced abortion. Even in countries, where it is legalized and performed in a safe environment, abortion carries some risk of complications for women. Findings of researchers on the factors that influence the sequelae of abortion are controversial and inconsistent. This study evaluates the effects of gest...

The Selberg trace formula on a Riemann surface X connects the discrete spectrum of the Laplacian with the length spectrum of the surface, that is, the set of lengths of the closed geodesics of on X. The connection is most strikingly expressed in terms of the Selberg zeta function, which is a meromorphic function of a complex variable s that is defined for <(s) > 1 in terms of the length spectru...

Let p be a prime > 3 and consider the Tate algebra A := Q p z defined to be the Banach algebra of formal power series over Q p that converge on the closed unit disk B[0, 1] ⊆ C p with the supremum norm ||f || := sup z∈B[0,1] |f (z)| for f ∈ A. Equivalently, we have (0.1) A = f (z) = ∞ k=0 a k z k a k ∈ Q p and lim k→∞ a k = 0 and the norm is given by (0.2) ||f || = sup k |a k |, for f = ∞ k=0 a...

INTRODUCTION Endometrial thickness is measured by transvaginal sonography and thickening indicates an increased risk of malignancy or other pathology (hyperplasia or polyp) in the postmenopausal period. The main screening methods for the uterine cavity are dilatation and curettage, and hysteroscopy. We sought to correlate hysteroscopic and pathological findings in asymptomatic postmenopausal wo...
