In this lecture we prove that the existence of a one-way function implies the existence of a false entropy. It was shown in the previous lecture that this implies the existence of a pseudorandom generator. The construction presented in this lecture is uniform. The structure of this lecture is as follows: For the sake of self containment we include in section 1 some definitions and results prese...

In a previous paper we analyzed the perfonnance of networks with negligi­ ble transmission delay, whose operation is controlled by a simple synchronizer. It was shown that full speed is achieved, for any wake-up pattern, by letting the networlc run free, without the use of a "firing squad" mechanism or a scheduler. In this paper we investigate the effect of fixed delays in the communication cha...

In a mill spinning coarse cotton the prevalence of byssinosis and other respiratory symptoms, and the F.E.V.1.0, were measured in a group of 29 men and I117 women employed in the winding room. All the men and 95% of the women at risk were included. Dust concentrations, measured with a modified Hexhlet at various work points in the winding room, ranged from i-65 to 6 o5 mg. Jm.3 total dust. Thes...

The aim of this paper was to investigate the presence of the urinary 90 kDa N-domain ACE in a cohort of the population from Vitoria, Brazil, to verify its association with essential hypertension since this isoform could be a possible genetic marker of hypertension. Anthropometric, clinical, and laboratory parameters of the individuals were evaluated (n = 1150) and the blood pressure (BP) was me...
