A conventional population of teachers and vice-chancellors of the different educational units of Quevedo was selected as an object of study. According to the results in the last two years, the number of training carried out by teachers is negligible, ranging from 1 to 5. Consequently, the requirement of the courses is dissimilar.","PeriodicalId":18592,"journal":{"name":"Minerva endocrinologica","volume":"356 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2023-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77150615","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a result, Sufficient primality criteria are exposed for the terms of both sequences that support a deterministic computational algorithm that reduces the number of operations in calculating the function π(x) by exonerating all multiples of 3 from the analysis. In analyzing the primality of a particular term, the divisions by factor 3 are excluded. Such an algorithm can be applied to the search for prime numbers in each sequence separately, a possibility that allows approximately half the time of number search in practical applications.","PeriodicalId":18592,"journal":{"name":"Minerva endocrinologica","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2023-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87958314","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
