Let $G$ be a tamely ramified reductive $p$-adic‎ ‎group‎. ‎We study distinction of a class of irreducible admissible representations‎ ‎of $G$ by the group of fixed points $H$ of an involution‎ ‎of $G$‎. ‎The representations correspond to $G$-conjugacy classes of‎ ‎pairs $(T,phi)$‎, ‎where $T$ is a‎ ‎tamely ramified maximal torus of $G$ and $phi$ is a quasicharacter‎ ‎of $T$ whose restriction t...

For a given pseudo-Brewster angle phi(pB) of minimum reflectance |r(p)| of p-polarized light at a dielectric-conductor interface, the second-Brewster angle phi(2B) of minimum reflectance ratio |rho|=|r(p)|/|r(s)| of the p and s polarizations is determined for all possible values of the complex relative dielectric function epsilon that lead to the same phi(pB). The difference phi(2B)-phi(pB) is ...

The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi is the nation's oldest, largest, and most highly selective all-discipline honor society, with more than three hundred chapters on campuses across the country. The structure and continuity of the organization depend on volunteer faculty and student leaders at each college or university, both for selection and induction of honorees and for our increasing service...

Five bacteriophages infecting only Saccharopolyspora erythraea (formerly Streptomyces erythreus) among 43 Streptomyces spp. tested were classified into two groups by phage-host relationships, restriction enzyme mapping, cohesive-end determinations, and Southern hybridizations. phi SE6, the most frequently isolated phage, produced clear plaques on all hosts tested, while phi SE45, phi SE57, phi ...

In this paper, we define new subclasses ${S}^{*}_{q}(alpha,Phi),$ ${M}_{q}(alpha,Phi)$ and ${L}_{q}(alpha,Phi)$ of analytic functions in the space of logistic sigmoid functions based on quasi--subordination and determine the initial coefficient estimates $|a_2|$ and $|a_3|$ and also determine the relevant connection to the classical Fekete--Szeg"o inequalities. Further, we discuss the improved ...

By use of the Bacillus subtilis bacteriophage cloning vehicle phi 105J23, B. subtilis chromosomal MboI fragments have been cloned that alleviate the pleiotropic effects of the recE4 mutation. The recombinant bacteriophages phi 105Rec phi 1 (3.85-kilobase insert) and phi 105Rec phi 4 (3.3-kilobase insert) both conferred on the recE4 strain YB1015 resistance to ethylmethane sulfonate, methylmetha...

The current study investigates the dissipation kinetics of two imidacloprid (IMI) nanoformulations (entitled: Nano-IMI and Nano-IMI/TiO2) on common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) seeds under field conditions and compares them with 35% Suspension Concentrate (SC) commercial formulation. To do so, it sprays P. vulgaris plants at 30 and 60 g/ha within green bean stage, sampling them during the 14-day p...

‎In this paper‎, ‎first we study the weak and strong convergence of solutions to the‎ ‎following first order nonhomogeneous gradient system‎ ‎$$begin{cases}-x'(t)=nablaphi(x(t))+f(t), text{a.e. on} (0,infty)\‎‎x(0)=x_0in Hend{cases}$$ to a critical point of $phi$‎, ‎where‎ ‎$phi$ is a $C^1$ quasi-convex function on a real Hilbert space‎ ‎$H$ with ${rm Argmin}phineqvarnothing$ and $fin L^1(0...
