In many ways Q ₚ is analogous to R . For example, R is not algebraically closed. The exercises below show that Q ₚ is not algebraically closed. However, by adjoining i=√ to R , we get the field of complex numbers, which is algebraically closed. In contrast, the algebraic closure ◌̅ Q ₚ of Q ₚ is not of finite degree over Q . Moreover, Complex is complete with respect to the extension of the usual norm of R . Unfortunately, ◌̅ Q ₚ is not complete with respect to the extension of the p-adic norm. So after completing it (via the usual method of Cauchy sequences) we get a still larger field, usually denoted by Complex ₚ, and it turns out to be both algebraically closed and complete.

A survey with a sample size of 2,200 in five provinces, from the project Reexamining the Political Landscape of Thailand (Apichat et al., 2013) and conducted by Wanwiphand in April–June 2012, further confirmed Ammar's and Somchai's (2012) conclusions. Wanwiphand found that, firstly, Red Shirts were more likely to have lower socio-economic status than Yellow Shirts, and were also more likely to work in the agricultural or informal sectors.

The best Reunion class of all will be back in Jersey on June 6 to 10, for a real off-year reunion, which will be a hummer.[…]
