Safer Childbirth

Safer Tuple

The simplicity and elegance of the Linda programming model is based on its single, global, typeless tuple space. However, these virtues come at a cost. First, the tuple space can be an impediment to scalable high performance. Second, the \black box" nature of the tuple space makes it an inherently dangerous data structure, prone to many types of programming errors. Blossom is a C++ version of L...

Painless Childbirth

Natural Childbirth

proceedings, and the present volume comprises such a report of the first conference, which was held in November 1949, under the chairmanship of C. N. H. Long. Each of five sessions was opened by a concise presentation of one topic in the field, as follows: Relation of Chemical Structure of Adrenal Cortical Hormones to Biological Activity, by Edward C. Kendall; Regulation of Adrenal Cortical Sec...

Safe Childbirth

This book is not a discussion of vital statistics, as the name might imply but rather the observations of a life-time study of obstetrics in many countries, some in the far corners of the globe. The author is convinced that if the process of childbirth is to be made more safe certain essentials are requisite. Chief of these are: 1. The round pelvic brim. 2. Flexible pelvic joints. 3. Natural po...

New Impossible Differential Attack on SAFER + and SAFER + +

SAFER+ was a candidate block cipher for AES with 128-bit block size and a variable key sizes of 128, 192 or 256 bits. Bluetooth uses customized versions of SAFER+ for security. The numbers of rounds for SAFER+ with key sizes of 128, 192 and 256 are 8, 12 and 16, respectively. SAFER++, a variant of SAFER+, was among the cryptographic primitives selected for the second phase of the NESSIE project...
