In a recent paper (1), Zhang et al. present analyses of “forest dynamics” inferred from measurements collected during 1958–2009 at permanent sample plots (PSP) distributed across Canada’s western forests. Their results are almost unanimous in showing widespread increases in mortality, and declines in relative growth and recruitment (figure 2 in ref. 1). Zhang et al. conclude these trends are ex...

PURPOSE This study evaluates the extent to which bilingual children produce the same or overlapping responses on tasks assessing semantic skills in each of their languages and whether classification analysis based on monolingual or conceptual scoring can accurately classify the semantic development of typically developing (TD) bilingual children. METHOD In Study 1, 55 TD children (ages 4;0 [y...

Key authentication is very important in secret communications and data security. Lee et al. proposed a new public key authentication scheme for cryptosystems based on discrete logarithms in 2003. Recently, Zhang et al. pointed out that Lee et al.’s scheme was not secure and proposed an improvement on it. However, in this paper, we will demonstrate that a dishonest user can forge the public key ...
