A note concerning Primary Source Knowledge

We add a small increment to understanding the notion of ‘Primary Source Knowledge’ (PSK). PSK is knowledge that the non-expert and the citizen can acquire by assiduously reading the primary scientific journal literature without being embedded in the cultural life of the corresponding technical specialty (Collins and Evans 2007). This comes from exposing four papers to the automated computer fil...

A Note on Deaconescu’s Result concerning Lehmer’s Problem

Let φ(n) be the Euler function of n. We prove that there are at most finitely many composite integers n such that φ(n) | n − 1 and P (φ(n)) ≡ 0 (mod n), where P (X) ∈ Z[X] is any monic non-constant polynomial.

Note on Some Results concerning Fermates Last Theorem

Let us suppose that the equation (1) x* + y + z = 0 is satisfied in integers prime to each other and that p is an odd prime. We shall divide the discussion into two parts. We shall refer to the case where xyz is prime to p as Case I, and to the case where xyz = 0 (mod p) as Case II. The present note will be confined to statements of new results obtained by the writer for both cases, without pro...

Note concerning the Period of the Quasi-biennial Oscillation

The period of the quasi-biennial oscillation is examined through the use of a harmonic procedure which allows one to examine periods of interest without omission of any data. On the basis of 8, and 5th years, of mean-monthly zonal-wind and temperature data in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, respectively, it is found that: (1) A quasi-biennial oscillation in zonal-wind exists in the tropo...
