Comments on the Transition Paper

Meeting the requirements of NIST’s new cryptographic standards means phasingout usage of 1024-bit RSA and 160-bit elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) by the end of theyear 2010. This write-up comments on the vulnerability of these systems to an open communityattack effort and aims to assess the risk of their continued usage beyond 2010. We conclude thatfor 1024-bit RSA the risk is...

Comments on Oparin’s Paper

This paper by Oparin on the origin of life, which appeared in Russian in 1924, has been taken to represent the first and principal modern appreciation of the problem. Although it is one of the most often cited papers in the literature on the subject, this is the first time, as far as I can ascertain, that it has appeared in English. The English translation published in 1938 was based on Oparin’...

Comparison Upper Lip Bite Test and Mallampati Test in the Prediction of Difficult Laryngoscopy

Background and Objective: Intubation is the most common method for the management of the upper airway in general anesthesia. In this regard, the prediction of the ease or difficulty of intubation is of paramount importance for the anesthesia team. The main cause of anesthesia-related mortality is failed airway management. The present study aimed to compare the accuracy of the upper lip bite (UL...

Comments on my 6π paper

This note, which discusses [4], has two purposes: (1) to answer a doubt expressed by Nitsche [6] §A29 about the use of the theorem of Barbosa-do Carmo, and (2) to discuss the last part of the argument, where the finiteness results of [2] and [3] are applied. We show that in the case at hand, these arguments can be simplified-the full power of those difficult results is not really needed. Regard...
