We show deterministic polynomial time algorithms over some family of finite fields for solving univariate polynomial equations and some related problems such as taking nth roots, constructing nth nonresidues, constructing primitive elements and computing elliptic curve “nth roots”. In additional, we present a deterministic polynomial time primality test for some family of integers. All algorith...

AIMS The aim of this short communication is to highlight some inconsistencies in defining two clinically important echocardiographic parameters with possible impact on clinical practice. METHODS AND RESULTS A surview of publications in reputable cardiological journals revealed inconsistencies posing questions on the validity of the published data and on the scrupulousness of the reviewing pro...

We want to thank the authors for responding to our paper and for apprising readers as to the effects of the new information technologies in Asian educational settings. We think Miyake has characterized our argument very accurately and succinctly. As she points out the equity issues we raise are exacerbated in Asia because the resources available through new technologies are mostly in English. B...
