Coincidences in the values of the Euler and Carmichael functions
(Polish Academy of Sciences, Institute of Mathematics, 2006)
The Euler function has long been regarded as one of the most basic of the arithmetic functions. More recently, partly driven by the rise in importance of computational number theory, the Carmichael function has drawn an ...
Arithmetic properties of φ(n)/λ(n) and the structure of the multiplicative group modulo n
(European Mathematical Society, 2006)
For a positive integer n, we let φ(n) and λ(n) denote the Euler function and the Carmichael function, respectively. We define ξ(n) as the ratio φ(n)/λ(n) and study various arithmetic properties of ξ(n).
On integers with a special divisibility property
(Masarykova Universita, 2006)
In this note, we study those positive integers n which are divisible by the Carmichael function.
Non-residues and primitive roots in Beatty sequences
(Australian Mathematical Society, 2006)
We study multiplicative character sums taken on the values of a non-homogeneous Beatty sequence Bα,β = {⌊αn + β⌋ : n = 1,2,3,…}, where α,β ∈ R, and α is irrational. In particular, our bounds imply that for every fixed ε > ...
Incomplete exponential sums and Diffie-Hellman triples
(Cambridge University Press, 2006)
Let p be a prime and 79 an integer of order t in the multiplicative group modulo p. In this paper, we continue the study of the distribution of Diffie-Hellman triples (V-x, V-y, V-xy) by considering the closely related ...

Relations between librarians and romance readers: A Missouri survey.
(Public Libaries, 2006)
Romance novels have traditionally been derided in academic literature and while recent LIS literature has been supportive of romance, previous articles indicated considerable disdain for the genre. Criticism raised in the ...
Alternative Sentencing & Strategies for Successful Prisoner Reentry
(University of Missouri - Columbia Institute of Public Policy, 2006)
Nationally, more than two million people are serving time in prison on any given day. Missouri ranks eighth in the nation in terms of imprisonment and has experienced substantial growth in incarceration over the past two ...
Genetics and functional genomics of legume nodulation
(Elsevier, 2006-02)
Gram-negative soil bacteria (rhizobia) within the Rhizobiaceae phylogenetic family (a-proteobacteria) have the unique ability
to infect and establish a nitrogen-fixing symbiosis on the roots of leguminous plants. This ...
Perceptions of Genetically Modified and Organic Foods and Processes
(AgBioForum, 2006)
Both organic production and the use of biotechnology have
increased dramatically over the past decade. This study contributes to existing work on consumer acceptance of these practices and the resulting ...
Consumers' Willingness to Pay for Biotech Foods in China: A Contingent Valuation Approach
(AgBioForum, 2006)
Based on a large-scale survey, this study employs the contingent
valuation method to estimate consumers' willingness to
pay (WTP) for biotech foods in China and to account for the
effects of respondents' characteristics ...
An Analysis of McLean County, Illinois Farmers' Perceptions of Genetically Modified Crops
(AgBioForum, 2006)
McLean County, Illinois farmers were surveyed in order to
explore their perceptions of biotechnology and genetically modified crops, and to analyze the relationships between those perceptions and choices regarding ...
Relatedness and Acquirer Performance
(Elsevier, 2006)
While the strategic management literature suggests that related diversification
is superior to unrelated diversification, there is little evidence that
acquirers benefit from pursuing related targets. We argue that the ...
Global Impact of Biotech Crops: Socio-Economic and Environmental Effects in the First Ten Years of Commercial Use
(AgBioForum, 2006)
Genetically modified (GM) crops have now been grown com-
mercially on a substantial scale for ten years. This paper
assesses the impact this technology is having on global agricul-
ture from both ...
Spillovers and Crowding Effects in a Mixed Biotech Industry: The Case of Canola
