Safeguarding The Public

In his foreword to this volume, Dr. Paul Beeson points out that "the disease certainly justifies prodigious study, as it may well be the model which will provide important clues to links between immune phenomena, virus infections and neoplastic diseases." In this book, thirteen distinguished contributors have provided a comprehensive review of both clinical and experimental observations as well...

Safeguarding cryptographic keys

Certain cryptographic keys, such as a number which makes it possible to compute the secret decoding exponent in an RSA public key cryptosystem,1,5 or the system master key and certain other keys in a DES cryptosystem,3 are so important that they present a dilemma. If too many copies are distributed one might go astray. If too few copies are made they might all be destroyed. A typical cryptosyst...

Safeguarding against heat hazards.

Heat stress occurs when the body cannot release heat and cool itself. When the air temperature is as warm as or warmer than a person's skin, blood brought to the skin's surface cannot efficiently release heat. Working hard in high heat impedes the body's ability to cool itself because the muscles need extra blood, thus decreasing the amount of blood available to circulate to the skin and intern...
