Suppose that (Φ,Mn) is a smooth (Z2)-action on a closed smooth n-dimensional manifold such that all Stiefel-Whitney classes of the tangent bundle to each connected component of the fixed point set F vanish in positive dimension. This paper shows that if dimMn > 2k dimF and each pdimensional part F p possesses the linear independence property, then (Φ,Mn) bounds equivariantly, and in particular,...

Higher order simple-pole type operators, that is, higher order linear ordinary differential operators with a large parameter η whose coefficients have simple poles at the origin, are discussed from the viewpoint of the exact WKB analysis. Making use of the technique of microdifferential operators, we clarify the singularity structure of the Borel transform of their WKB solutions.

A night to remember: a harm-reduction birthday card intervention reduces high-risk drinking during 21st birthday celebrations.

OBJECTIVE In collaboration with Residence Life, the Heads UP research team developed a 21st birthday card program to help reduce the risky drinking often associated with these celebrations. PARTICIPANTS 81 students (28 males, 53 females) completed a post-21st birthday survey. Of these, 74 reported drinking during their 21st birthday and were included in the analyses. METHODS During the 2005...
