— 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...

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...

INTRODUCTION For families of children diagnosed with cancer, proximity to the treatment center and staying close to immediate family members are essential for proper patient management. Accommodation services are therefore a key consideration in pediatric oncology. This descriptive study explored the accommodation used, and preferred, by parents of pediatric cancer patients at Sydney Children's...

Horizontal vergence can be stimulated binocularly with disparity (disparity vergence) or monocularly with accommodation (accommodative vergence). The latter results from a neural cross-coupling that causes both horizontal vergence and accommodation to respond when either one is stimulated [Alpern, M., & Ellen, P. (1956). American Journal of Ophthalmology, 42, 289-303]. The velocity of disparity...
