Singular moduli for a distinguished non-holomorphic modular function

Here we study the integrality properties of singular moduli of a special non-holomorphic function γ(z) which was previously studied by Siegel [10], Masser [8], Bruinier, Sutherland, and Ono [3]. Similar to the modular j-invariant, γ has algebraic values at any CM-point. We show that primes dividing the denominators of these values must have absolute value less than that of the discriminant and are not split in the corresponding quadratic field. Moreover we give a bound for the size of the denominator

North American scorpions

p. 549-608 : ill., maps ; 27 cm.Includes bibliographical references (p. 607-608)."A systematic review of some American vejovine scorpions is presented with analyses of their characters and relationships. The subfamily Uroctoninae is rejected as a synonym of the Vejovinae. The genus Uroctonus, heretofore represented by the single taxon mordax, is redefined and the number of species increased to 14. Most of the characters on which the genus Uroctonus was formerly based were found to be intergradient to those of Vejovis. Although the genus is maintained on the basis of a combination of characters, it seems clear that the species were derived from the same basic stock. The trichobothrial patterns of Uroctonus and Vejovis are essentially identical and dffer strikingly from those of the related genera Anuroctonus and Hadrurus. The genotype Uroctonus mordax ranges from Oregon south into southern California and lives mostly in mesic, mountainous habitats. Most of the new species occur in California and Baja California but three others are found from southern Arizona to western Texas and Chihuahua. Two of the species, montereus and sequoia, are unusual in having only a single subdistal tooth present on the outer carina of the movable finger of the chelicera, instead of the normal two of the subfamily. A pale species with small eyes and slender, smooth cauda, grahami from Samwell Cave in California, seems to be a cave-adapted type, but its modifications may only indicate an endogean habit. Descriptions of various species of Vejovis are also included in the present paper. The identity of Vejovis minimus Kraepelin has been established by study of the type material from the Zoologisches Museum in Hamburg, Germany"--P. 551

'Divided they stand, divided they fail': opposition politics in Morocco

The literature on democratization emphasises how authoritarian constraints usually lead genuine opposition parties and movements to form alliances in order to make demands for reform to the authoritarian regime. There is significant empirical evidence to support this theoretical point. While this trend is partly visible in the Middle East and North Africa, such coalitions are usually short-lived and limited to a single issue, never reaching the stage of formal and organic alliances. This article, using the case of Morocco, seeks to explain this puzzle by focusing on ideological and strategic differences that exist between the Islamist and the secular/liberal sectors of civil society, where significant opposition politics occurs. In addition, this article also aims to explain how pro-democracy strategies of the European Union further widen this divide, functioning as a key obstacle to democratic reforms

Prevalence of Trachoma in Gambella Region, Ethiopia: Results of Three Population-Based Prevalence Surveys Conducted with the Global Trachoma Mapping Project.

PURPOSE: In Ethiopia, trachoma is a major public health problem, accounting for 11.5% of all cases of blindness. In Gambella, one of the country's most remote regions, the 2005-2006 National Survey of Blindness, Low Vision and Trachoma estimated a region-level prevalence of active trachoma of 19.1% in those aged 1-9 years. Detailed district or sub-regional level estimates are required to implement interventions. METHODS: Population-based prevalence surveys were carried out following a 2-stage cluster random sampling methodology and Global Trachoma Mapping Project protocols. As the 13 districts (woredas) in Gambella had relatively small populations, they were grouped together to form three evaluation units (EUs) of about 100,000 persons each, and all subsequent survey planning and sampling was carried out at EU-level. RESULTS: Altogether, 558 cases of TF (17.2%) were identified in 3238 children aged 1-9 years across the three EUs. The adjusted TF prevalences in 1-9-year-olds for the three EUs were 11.5%, 12.5% and 19.3%; 14.4% for Gambella overall. A total of 142 cases of trichiasis (3.8%) were identified among 3781 adults aged 15 years or older, with age- and sex-adjusted EU-level trichiasis prevalences in adults being 0.8%, 1.3% and 2.4%; 1.5% overall. CONCLUSION: The high prevalences of TF and trichiasis throughout Gambella indicate a need for rapid scaling up of the World Health Organization SAFE strategy (surgery, antibiotics, facial cleanliness, and environmental improvement) to help meet the 2020 target of global elimination of trachoma as a public health problem
