Dr. Gilbert has succinctly summarized much of the recently published literature on the diagnosis and treatment of thrombocytosis caused by polycythemia vera and essential thrombocythemia. Many of her recommendations reflect the opinions of most investigators and practitioners in the field. However, there is a body of literature and interpretations of cited studies that are not included in her a...

The well-known Gilbert-Shannon-Reeds model for riffle shuffles assumes that the cards are initially cut ‘about in half’ and then riffled together. We analyze a natural variant where the initial cut is biased. Extending results of Fulman (1998), we show a sharp cutoff in separation and L-infinity distances. This analysis is possible due to the close connection between shuffling and quasisymmetri...

In the last decade there has been an upsurge of concern with issues about men and boys. In the public realm there have been social movements focussed on the reform or restoration of masculinity, such as the "mythopoetic" movement, the Million Man March and the Promise Keepers (Messner 1997). In education there has been much talk of boys' "failure" in school and the need for special programs for...

Sets and Intervals • An interval with round brackets such as (a, b) means all the numbers between a and b not including a and b. We call this interval an open interval. • An interval with square brackets such as [a, b] means all the numbers between a and b including a and b. We call this interval a closed interval. • An interval with one square bracket and one closed bracket is called a clopen ...

This is a commentary on a paper by Gilbert and Janssen (Gilbert, A.J., Janssen, R., 1998. Ecol. Econ. 25, 323–346) that deals with valuation of management alternatives for the Pagbilao mangroves, Philippines. Our main critique focuses on the undervaluation of fisheries as well as the inability to quantify the value of ecological services and internalize aquaculture’s environmental costs. In add...

In 1995, Shamir proposed a variant of the RSA cryptosystem in which one the two secret primes is much larger than the other one. Some \at-tacks" were subsequently reported by Gilbert, Gupta, Odlyzko and Quisquater. In this report, we show that the cryptosystem recently proposed by Okamoto and Uchiyama (1998) is subject to similar attacks.
