We argue that flawed understanding of these three aspects of revocation schemes has caused these schemes to be unnecessarily costly, complex, and confusing. We also comment briefly on some previous works, including those of Rivest [16], Fox and LaMacchia [5], an...

Toxicological hazard and risk assessment until today largely rely on animal toxicity data. Animal toxicity tests are performed to identify the toxic effects that a chemical can induce (hazard identification) and to determine the toxic potency, i.e. the quantitative relationship between external exposure level (administered dose, environmental concentration) and the incidence and severity of tox...
