Bach’s Art of the Fugue

J. S. Bach wrote The Art of the Fugue during the last years of his life. He probably began work on what turned out to be his longest and most complex instrumental composition in 1743, and he left the work incomplete at his death in July, 1750. The work was published in 1751 in Leipzig in a poorly engraved edition, the preparation of only part of which had been supervised by Bach himself. The pu...

The Hash Function "Fugue"

We describe Fugue, a hash function supporting inputs of length upto 2 − 1 bits and hash outputs of length upto 512 bits. Notably, Fugue is not based on a compression function. Rather, it is directly a hash function that supports variable-length inputs. The starting point for Fugue is the hash function Grindahl, but it extends that design to protect against the kind of attacks that were develope...

Nematode development: An evolutionary fugue

Recent studies of vulva development in the nematode Pristionchus pacificus have identified cell interactions that do not appear to occur in Caenorhabditis elegans. The new results underscore the diversity of patterning mechanisms that can produce structures with similar cellular morphology.
