Thermodynamic aspects of confidentiality
We analyse secure computation as a physical process and connect it to recent advances in security, namely Quantitative Information Flow. Using a classic thermodynamic argument involving the second principle and reversibility we show that any deterministic computation, where the final state of the system is observable, must dissipate at least WkBT ln 2. Here W is the information theoretic notion...
متن کاملThermodynamic aspects of vitrification.
Vitrification is a process in which a liquid begins to behave as a solid during cooling without any substantial change in molecular arrangement or thermodynamic state variables. The physical phenomenon of vitrification is relevant to both cryopreservation by freezing, in which cells survive in glass between ice crystals, and cryopreservation by vitrification in which a whole sample is vitrified...
متن کاملThermodynamic aspects of flagellar activity.
Despite recent advances in the fields of cytochemistry and electron microscopy the processes which are responsible for flagellar movement, and their chemical foundations, cannot be described with any certainty. In a previous communication (Holwill & Silvester, 1965) we described the variation with temperature of the frequency of the flagellar beat in Strigomonas oncopelti and deduced thermodyna...
متن کاملThermodynamic Aspects of Precipitation Efficiency
Precipitation efficiency is one of important meteorological parameters and has been widely used in operational precipitation forecasts (e.g., Doswell et al., 1996). Precipitation efficiency has been defined as the ratio of precipitation rate to the sum of all precipitation sources from water vapor budget (e.g., Auer and Marwitz, 1968; Heymsfield and Schotz, 1985; Chong and Hauser, 1989; Dowell ...
متن کاملThermodynamic and kinetic aspects of interfacial decohesion
Thermodynamic and kinetic aspects of interfacial decohesion are analyzed for a uniformly stressed interface in the presence of an embrittling impurity. During the interfacial separation, the impurity penetrates into the interface and reduces it cohesion. Rice (1976) and Hirth and Rice (1980) analyzed the thermodynamics of this process in great detail with emphasis on the limiting cases of infin...
