Like all artificial elements, it has no stable isotopes. It was synthesized long before being found in nature, the first isotope synthesized being 238Pu in 1940. Twenty plutonium radioisotopes have been characterized. The most stable are Pu-244, with a half-life of 80.8 million years, Pu-242, with a half-life of 373,300 years, and Pu-239, with a half-life of 24,110 years. All of the remaining radioactive isotopes have half-lives that are less than 7,000 years. This element also has eight meta states, though none is very stable; all meta states have half-lives of less than one second.\n\nThe isotopes of plutonium range in atomic weight from 228.0387 u (Pu-228) to 247.074 u (Pu-247). The primary decay modes before the most stable isotope, Pu-244, are spontaneous fission and alpha emission; the initial mode after is beta emission. The primary decay products before Pu-244 are isotopes of uranium and neptunium (neglecting the wide range of daughter nuclei created by fission processes), and the primary products after are isotopes of americium.\n\nNotable Isotopes[edit]\n\nProduction and uses[edit]\n\nA pellet of plutonium-238, glowing from its own heat, used for radioisotope thermoelectric generators.\nTransmutation flow between 238Pu and 244Cm in LWR.[7]\nTransmutation speed not shown and varies greatly by nuclide.\n245Cm–248Cm are long-lived with negligible decay.\n\nPu-239, a fissile isotope which is the second most used nuclear fuel in nuclear reactors after U-235, and the most used fuel in the fission portion of nuclear weapons, is produced from U-238 by neutron capture followed by two beta decays.\n\nPu-240, Pu-241, Pu-242 are produced by further neutron capture. The odd-mass isotopes Pu-239 and Pu-241 have about a 3/4 chance of undergoing fission on capture of a thermal neutron and about a 1/4 chance of retaining the neutron and becoming the following isotope. The even-mass isotopes are fertile material but not fissile and also have a lower overall probability (cross section) of neutron capture; therefore, they tend to accumulate in nuclear fuel used in a thermal reactor, the design of nearly all nuclear power plants today. In plutonium that has been used a second time in thermal reactors in MOX fuel, Pu-240 may even be the most common isotope. All plutonium isotopes and other actinides, however, are fissionable with fast neutrons. Pu-240 does have a moderate thermal neutron absorption cross section, so that Pu-241 production in a thermal reactor becomes a significant fraction as large as Pu-239 production.\n\nPu-241 has a half-life of 14 years, and has slightly higher thermal neutron cross sections than Pu-239 for both fission and absorption. While nuclear fuel is being used in a reactor, a Pu-241 nucleus is much more likely to fission or to capture a neutron than to decay. Pu-241 accounts for a significant proportion of fissions in thermal reactor fuel that has been used for some time. However, in spent nuclear fuel that does not quickly undergo nuclear reprocessing but instead is cooled for years after use, much or most of the Pu-241 will beta decay to americium-241, one of the minor actinides, a strong alpha emitter, and difficult to use in thermal reactors.\n\nPu-242 has a particularly low cross section for thermal neutron capture; and it takes four neutron absorptions to become another fissile isotope (either curium-245 or Pu-241) and fission. Even then, there is a chance either of those two fissile isotopes will fail to fission but instead absorb the fourth neutron, becoming curium-246 (on the way to even heavier actinides like californium, which is a neutron emitter by spontaneous fission and difficult to handle) or becoming Pu-242 again; so the mean number of neutrons absorbed before fission is even higher than 4. Therefore Pu-242 is particularly unsuited to recycling in a thermal reactor and would be better used in a fast reactor where it can be fissioned directly. However, Pu-242's low cross section means that relatively little of it will be transmuted during one cycle in a thermal reactor. Pu-242's half-life is about 15 times as long as Pu-239's half-life; therefore it is 1/15 as radioactive and not one of the larger contributors to nuclear waste radioactivity. 242Pu's gamma ray emissions are also weaker than those of the other isotopes.[8]\n\nPu-243 has a half-life of only 5 hours, beta decaying to americium-243. Because Pu-243 has little opportunity to capture an additional neutron before decay, the nuclear fuel cycle does not produce the extremely long-lived Pu-244 in significant quantity.\n\nPu-238 is not normally produced in as large quantity by the nuclear fuel cycle, but some is produced from neptunium-237 by neutron capture (this reaction can also be used with purified neptunium to produce Pu-238 relatively free of other plutonium isotopes for use in radioisotope thermoelectric generators), by the (n,2n) reaction of fast neutrons on Pu-239, or by alpha decay of curium-242 which is produced by neutron capture from Am-241. It has significant thermal neutron cross section for fission, but is more likely to capture a neutron and become Pu-239.\n\n\nPu-240, Pu-241 and Pu-242[edit]\n\nThe fission cross section for 239Pu is 747.9 barns for thermal neutrons, while the activation cross section is 270.7 barns (the ratio approximates to 11 fissions for every 4 neutron captures). The higher plutonium isotopes are created when the uranium fuel is used for a long time. It is the case that for high burnup used fuel that the concentrations of the higher plutonium isotopes will be higher than the low burnup fuel which is reprocessed to obtain weapons grade plutonium.\n\nThe formation of 240Pu, 241Pu and 242Pu from 238U\nIsotope Thermal neutron\ncross section[9]\nCapture Fission\n238U 2.683 0.000 α 4.468 x 109 years\n239U 20.57 14.11 β 23.45 minutes\n239Np 77.03 β 2.356 days\n239Pu 270.7 747.9 α 24,110 years\n240Pu 287.5 0.064 α 6,561 years\n241Pu 363.0 1012 β 14.325 years\n242Pu 19.16 0.001 α 373,300 years\n\n\nMain article: Plutonium-239\n\n\nA ring of weapons-grade electrorefined plutonium, with 99.96% purity.

The presence of Pu-240 limits the plutonium's nuclear bomb potential because the neutron flux from spontaneous fission, initiates the chain reaction prematurely and reduces the bomb's power by exploding the core before full implosion is reached. Plutonium consisting of more than about 90% Pu-239 is called weapons-grade plutonium; plutonium from spent nuclear fuel from commercial power reactors generally contains at least 20% Pu-240 and is called reactor-grade plutonium. However, modern nuclear weapons use fusion boosting which mitigates the predetonation problem; if the pit can generate a nuclear weapon yield of even a fraction of a kiloton, which is enough to start deuterium-tritium fusion, the resulting burst of neutrons will fission enough plutonium to ensure a yield of tens of kilotons.\n\nPu-240 contamination is the reason plutonium weapons must use the implosion method. Theoretically, pure Pu-239 could be used in a gun-type nuclear weapon, but achieving this level of purity is prohibitively difficult. Pu-240 contamination has proven a mixed blessing to nuclear weapons design. While it created delays and headaches during the Manhattan Project because of the need to develop implosion technology, those very same difficulties are currently a barrier to nuclear proliferation. Implosion devices are also inherently more efficient and less prone toward accidental detonation than are gun-type weapons.\n\n\nZ(p) N(n) \nisotopic mass (u)\nhalf-life decay\nmode(s)[11][n 1]\nisotope(s)[n 2]\n(mole fraction)\nrange of natural\n(mole fraction)\nexcitation energy\n228Pu 94 134 228.03874(3) 1.1(+20-5) s α (99.9%) 224U 0+\nβ+ (.1%) 228Np\n229Pu 94 135 229.04015(6) 120(50) s α 225U 3/2+#\n230Pu 94 136 230.039650(16) 1.70(17) min α 226U 0+\nβ+ (rare) 230Np\n231Pu 94 137 231.041101(28) 8.6(5) min β+ 231Np 3/2+#\nα (rare) 227U\n232Pu 94 138 232.041187(19) 33.7(5) min EC (89%) 232Np 0+\nα (11%) 228U\n233Pu 94 139 233.04300(5) 20.9(4) min β+ (99.88%) 233Np 5/2+#\nα (.12%) 229U\n234Pu 94 140 234.043317(7) 8.8(1) h EC (94%) 234Np 0+\nα (6%) 230U\n235Pu 94 141 235.045286(22) 25.3(5) min β+ (99.99%) 235Np (5/2+)\nα (.0027%) 231U\n236Pu 94 142 236.0460580(24) 2.858(8) a α 232U 0+\nSF (1.37×10−7%) (various)\nCD (2×10−12%) 208Pb\nβ+β+ (rare) 236U\n237Pu 94 143 237.0484097(24) 45.2(1) d EC 237Np 7/2-\nα (.0042%) 233U\n237m1Pu 145.544(10) keV 180(20) ms IT 237Pu 1/2+\n237m2Pu 2900(250) keV 1.1(1) µs\n238Pu 94 144 238.0495599(20) 87.7(1) a α 234U 0+\nSF (1.9×10−7%) (various)\nCD (1.4×10−14%) 206Hg\nCD (6×10−15%) 180Yb\n239Pu[n 3][n 4] 94 145 239.0521634(20) 2.411(3)×104 a α 235U 1/2+\nSF (3.1×10−10%) (various)\n239m1Pu 391.584(3) keV 193(4) ns 7/2-\n239m2Pu 3100(200) keV 7.5(10) µs (5/2+)\n240Pu 94 146 240.0538135(20) 6,561(7) a α 236U 0+\nSF (5.7×10−6%) (various)\nCD (1.3×10−13%) 206Hg\n241Pu[n 3] 94 147 241.0568515(20) 14.290(6) a β- (99.99%) 241Am 5/2+\nα (.00245%) 237U\nSF (2.4×10−14%) (various)\n241m1Pu 161.6(1) keV 0.88(5) µs 1/2+\n241m2Pu 2200(200) keV 21(3) µs\n242Pu 94 148 242.0587426(20) 3.75(2)×105 a α 238U 0+\nSF (5.5×10−4%) (various)\n243Pu[n 3] 94 149 243.062003(3) 4.956(3) h β- 243Am 7/2+\n243mPu 383.6(4) keV 330(30) ns (1/2+)\n244Pu[n 5] 94 150 244.064204(5) 8.00(9)×107 a α (99.88%) 240U 0+ Trace\nSF (.123%) (various)\nβ-β- (7.3×10−9%) 244Cm\n245Pu 94 151 245.067747(15) 10.5(1) h β- 245Am (9/2-)\n246Pu 94 152 246.070205(16) 10.84(2) d β- 246mAm 0+\n247Pu 94 153 247.07407(32)# 2.27(23) d β- 247Am 1/2+#\n 1. ^ Abbreviations:\n CD: Cluster decay\n EC: Electron capture\n IT: Isomeric transition\n SF: Spontaneous fission\n 2. ^ Bold for stable isotopes\n 3. ^ a b c Fissile nuclide\n 4. ^ Most useful isotope for nuclear weapons\n 5. ^ Primordial radionuclide\n\n\n\n\n 6. ^\n 9. ^ National Nuclear Data Center Interactive Chart of Nuclides\n 10. ^ Miner 1968, p. 541\n 11. ^\nIsotopes of neptunium Isotopes of plutonium Isotopes of americium\nTable of nuclides"

All of the remaining radioactive isotopes have half-lives that are less than 7,000 years. This element also has eight meta states, though none is very stable; all meta states have half-lives of less than one second.\n\nThe isotopes of plutonium range in atomic weight from 228.0387 u (Pu-228) to 247.074 u (Pu-247). The primary decay modes before the most stable isotope, Pu-244, are spontaneous fission and alpha emission; the initial mode after is beta emission. The primary decay products before Pu-244 are isotopes of uranium and neptunium (neglecting the wide range of daughter nuclei created by fission processes), and the primary products after are isotopes of americium.\n\nNotable Isotopes[edit]\n\nProduction and uses[edit]\n\nA pellet of plutonium-238, glowing from its own heat, used for radioisotope thermoelectric generators.\nTransmutation flow between 238Pu and 244Cm in LWR.[7]\nTransmutation speed not shown and varies greatly by nuclide.\n245Cm–248Cm are long-lived with negligible decay.\n\nPu-239, a fissile isotope which is the second most used nuclear fuel in nuclear reactors after U-235, and the most used fuel in the fission portion of nuclear weapons, is produced from U-238 by neutron capture followed by two beta decays.\n\nPu-240, Pu-241, Pu-242 are produced by further neutron capture. The odd-mass isotopes Pu-239 and Pu-241 have about a 3/4 chance of undergoing fission on capture of a thermal neutron and about a 1/4 chance of retaining the neutron and becoming the following isotope. The even-mass isotopes are fertile material but not fissile and also have a lower overall probability (cross section) of neutron capture; therefore, they tend to accumulate in nuclear fuel used in a thermal reactor, the design of nearly all nuclear power plants today. In plutonium that has been used a second time in thermal reactors in MOX fuel, Pu-240 may even be the most common isotope. All plutonium isotopes and other actinides, however, are fissionable with fast neutrons. Pu-240 does have a moderate thermal neutron absorption cross section, so that Pu-241 production in a thermal reactor becomes a significant fraction as large as Pu-239 production.\n\nPu-241 has a half-life of 14 years, and has slightly higher thermal neutron cross sections than Pu-239 for both fission and absorption. While nuclear fuel is being used in a reactor, a Pu-241 nucleus is much more likely to fission or to capture a neutron than to decay. Pu-241 accounts for a significant proportion of fissions in thermal reactor fuel that has been used for some time. However, in spent nuclear fuel that does not quickly undergo nuclear reprocessing but instead is cooled for years after use, much or most of the Pu-241 will beta decay to americium-241, one of the minor actinides, a strong alpha emitter, and difficult to use in thermal reactors.\n\nPu-242 has a particularly low cross section for thermal neutron capture; and it takes four neutron absorptions to become another fissile isotope (either curium-245 or Pu-241) and fission.

Therefore Pu-242 is particularly unsuited to recycling in a thermal reactor and would be better used in a fast reactor where it can be fissioned directly. However, Pu-242's low cross section means that relatively little of it will be transmuted during one cycle in a thermal reactor. Pu-242's half-life is about 15 times as long as Pu-239's half-life; therefore it is 1/15 as radioactive and not one of the larger contributors to nuclear waste radioactivity. 242Pu's gamma ray emissions are also weaker than those of the other isotopes.[8]\n\nPu-243 has a half-life of only 5 hours, beta decaying to americium-243. Because Pu-243 has little opportunity to capture an additional neutron before decay, the nuclear fuel cycle does not produce the extremely long-lived Pu-244 in significant quantity.\n\nPu-238 is not normally produced in as large quantity by the nuclear fuel cycle, but some is produced from neptunium-237 by neutron capture (this reaction can also be used with purified neptunium to produce Pu-238 relatively free of other plutonium isotopes for use in radioisotope thermoelectric generators), by the (n,2n) reaction of fast neutrons on Pu-239, or by alpha decay of curium-242 which is produced by neutron capture from Am-241.

Plutonium consisting of more than about 90% Pu-239 is called weapons-grade plutonium; plutonium from spent nuclear fuel from commercial power reactors generally contains at least 20% Pu-240 and is called reactor-grade plutonium. However, modern nuclear weapons use fusion boosting which mitigates the predetonation problem; if the pit can generate a nuclear weapon yield of even a fraction of a kiloton, which is enough to start deuterium-tritium fusion, the resulting burst of neutrons will fission enough plutonium to ensure a yield of tens of kilotons.\n\nPu-240 contamination is the reason plutonium weapons must use the implosion method. Theoretically, pure Pu-239 could be used in a gun-type nuclear weapon, but achieving this level of purity is prohibitively difficult. Pu-240 contamination has proven a mixed blessing to nuclear weapons design. While it created delays and headaches during the Manhattan Project because of the need to develop implosion technology, those very same difficulties are currently a barrier to nuclear proliferation. Implosion devices are also inherently more efficient and less prone toward accidental detonation than are gun-type weapons.\n\n\nZ(p) N(n) \nisotopic mass (u)\nhalf-life decay\nmode(s)[11][n 1]\nisotope(s)[n 2]\n(mole fraction)\nrange of natural\n(mole fraction)\nexcitation energy\n228Pu 94 134 228.03874(3) 1.1(+20-5) s α (99.9%) 224U 0+\nβ+ (.1%) 228Np\n229Pu 94 135 229.04015(6) 120(50) s α 225U 3/2+#\n230Pu 94 136 230.039650(16) 1.70(17) min α 226U 0+\nβ+ (rare) 230Np\n231Pu 94 137 231.041101(28) 8.6(5) min β+ 231Np 3/2+#\nα (rare) 227U\n232Pu 94 138 232.041187(19) 33.7(5) min EC (89%) 232Np 0+\nα (11%) 228U\n233Pu 94 139 233.04300(5) 20.9(4) min β+ (99.88%) 233Np 5/2+#\nα (.12%) 229U\n234Pu 94 140 234.043317(7) 8.8(1) h EC (94%) 234Np 0+\nα (6%) 230U\n235Pu 94 141 235.045286(22) 25.3(5) min β+ (99.99%) 235Np (5/2+)\nα (.0027%) 231U\n236Pu 94 142 236.0460580(24) 2.858(8) a α 232U 0+\nSF (1.37×10−7%) (various)\nCD (2×10−12%) 208Pb\nβ+β+ (rare) 236U\n237Pu 94 143 237.0484097(24) 45.2(1) d EC 237Np 7/2-\nα (.0042%) 233U\n237m1Pu 145.544(10) keV 180(20) ms IT 237Pu 1/2+\n237m2Pu 2900(250) keV 1.1(1) µs\n238Pu 94 144 238.0495599(20) 87.7(1) a α 234U 0+\nSF (1.9×10−7%) (various)\nCD (1.4×10−14%) 206Hg\nCD (6×10−15%) 180Yb\n239Pu[n 3][n 4] 94 145 239.0521634(20) 2.411(3)×104 a α 235U 1/2+\nSF (3.1×10−10%) (various)\n239m1Pu 391.584(3) keV 193(4) ns 7/2-\n239m2Pu 3100(200) keV 7.5(10) µs (5/2+)\n240Pu 94 146 240.0538135(20) 6,561(7) a α 236U 0+\nSF (5.7×10−6%) (various)\nCD (1.3×10−13%) 206Hg\n241Pu[n 3] 94 147 241.0568515(20) 14.290(6) a β- (99.99%) 241Am 5/2+\nα (.00245%) 237U\nSF (2.4×10−14%) (various)\n241m1Pu 161.6(1) keV 0.88(5) µs 1/2+\n241m2Pu 2200(200) keV 21(3) µs\n242Pu 94 148 242.0587426(20) 3.75(2)×105 a α 238U 0+\nSF (5.5×10−4%) (various)\n243Pu[n 3] 94 149 243.062003(3) 4.956(3) h β- 243Am 7/2+\n243mPu 383.6(4) keV 330(30) ns (1/2+)\n244Pu[n 5] 94 150 244.064204(5) 8.00(9)×107 a α (99.88%) 240U 0+ Trace\nSF (.123%) (various)\nβ-β- (7.3×10−9%) 244Cm\n245Pu 94 151 245.067747(15) 10.5(1) h β- 245Am (9/2-)\n246Pu 94 152 246.070205(16) 10.84(2) d β- 246mAm 0+\n247Pu 94 153 247.07407(32)# 2.27(23) d β- 247Am 1/2+#\n 1. ^ Abbreviations:\n CD: Cluster decay\n EC: Electron capture\n IT: Isomeric transition\n SF: Spontaneous fission\n 2. ^ Bold for stable isotopes\n 3. ^ a b c Fissile nuclide\n 4. ^ Most useful isotope for nuclear weapons\n 5. ^ Primordial radionuclide\n\n\n\n\n 6. ^\n 9. ^ National Nuclear Data Center Interactive Chart of Nuclides\n 10. ^ Miner 1968, p. 541\n 11. ^\nIsotopes of neptunium Isotopes of plutonium Isotopes of americium\nTable of nuclides"

Like all artificial elements, it has no stable isotopes. It was synthesized long before being found in nature, the first isotope synthesized being 238Pu in 1940. Twenty plutonium radioisotopes have been characterized. The most stable are Pu-244, with a half-life of 80.8 million years, Pu-242, with a half-life of 373,300 years, and Pu-239, with a half-life of 24,110 years. All of the remaining radioactive isotopes have half-lives that are less than 7,000 years. This element also has eight meta states, though none is very stable; all meta states have half-lives of less than one second.\n\nThe isotopes of plutonium range in atomic weight from 228.0387 u (Pu-228) to 247.074 u (Pu-247). The primary decay modes before the most stable isotope, Pu-244, are spontaneous fission and alpha emission; the initial mode after is beta emission. The primary decay products before Pu-244 are isotopes of uranium and neptunium (neglecting the wide range of daughter nuclei created by fission processes), and the primary products after are isotopes of americium.\n\nNotable Isotopes[edit]\n\nProduction and uses[edit]\n\nA pellet of plutonium-238, glowing from its own heat, used for radioisotope thermoelectric generators.\nTransmutation flow between 238Pu and 244Cm in LWR.[7]\nTransmutation speed not shown and varies greatly by nuclide.\n245Cm–248Cm are long-lived with negligible decay.\n\nPu-239, a fissile isotope which is the second most used nuclear fuel in nuclear reactors after U-235, and the most used fuel in the fission portion of nuclear weapons, is produced from U-238 by neutron capture followed by two beta decays.\n\nPu-240, Pu-241, Pu-242 are produced by further neutron capture. The odd-mass isotopes Pu-239 and Pu-241 have about a 3/4 chance of undergoing fission on capture of a thermal neutron and about a 1/4 chance of retaining the neutron and becoming the following isotope. The even-mass isotopes are fertile material but not fissile and also have a lower overall probability (cross section) of neutron capture; therefore, they tend to accumulate in nuclear fuel used in a thermal reactor, the design of nearly all nuclear power plants today. In plutonium that has been used a second time in thermal reactors in MOX fuel, Pu-240 may even be the most common isotope. All plutonium isotopes and other actinides, however, are fissionable with fast neutrons. Pu-240 does have a moderate thermal neutron absorption cross section, so that Pu-241 production in a thermal reactor becomes a significant fraction as large as Pu-239 production.\n\nPu-241 has a half-life of 14 years, and has slightly higher thermal neutron cross sections than Pu-239 for both fission and absorption. While nuclear fuel is being used in a reactor, a Pu-241 nucleus is much more likely to fission or to capture a neutron than to decay. Pu-241 accounts for a significant proportion of fissions in thermal reactor fuel that has been used for some time. However, in spent nuclear fuel that does not quickly undergo nuclear reprocessing but instead is cooled for years after use, much or most of the Pu-241 will beta decay to americium-241, one of the minor actinides, a strong alpha emitter, and difficult to use in thermal reactors.\n\nPu-242 has a particularly low cross section for thermal neutron capture; and it takes four neutron absorptions to become another fissile isotope (either curium-245 or Pu-241) and fission. Even then, there is a chance either of those two fissile isotopes will fail to fission but instead absorb the fourth neutron, becoming curium-246 (on the way to even heavier actinides like californium, which is a neutron emitter by spontaneous fission and difficult to handle) or becoming Pu-242 again; so the mean number of neutrons absorbed before fission is even higher than 4. Therefore Pu-242 is particularly unsuited to recycling in a thermal reactor and would be better used in a fast reactor where it can be fissioned directly. However, Pu-242's low cross section means that relatively little of it will be transmuted during one cycle in a thermal reactor. Pu-242's half-life is about 15 times as long as Pu-239's half-life; therefore it is 1/15 as radioactive and not one of the larger contributors to nuclear waste radioactivity. 242Pu's gamma ray emissions are also weaker than those of the other isotopes.[8]\n\nPu-243 has a half-life of only 5 hours, beta decaying to americium-243. Because Pu-243 has little opportunity to capture an additional neutron before decay, the nuclear fuel cycle does not produce the extremely long-lived Pu-244 in significant quantity.\n\nPu-238 is not normally produced in as large quantity by the nuclear fuel cycle, but some is produced from neptunium-237 by neutron capture (this reaction can also be used with purified neptunium to produce Pu-238 relatively free of other plutonium isotopes for use in radioisotope thermoelectric generators), by the (n,2n) reaction of fast neutrons on Pu-239, or by alpha decay of curium-242 which is produced by neutron capture from Am-241. It has significant thermal neutron cross section for fission, but is more likely to capture a neutron and become Pu-239.\n\n\nPu-240, Pu-241 and Pu-242[edit]\n\nThe fission cross section for 239Pu is 747.9 barns for thermal neutrons, while the activation cross section is 270.7 barns (the ratio approximates to 11 fissions for every 4 neutron captures). The higher plutonium isotopes are created when the uranium fuel is used for a long time. It is the case that for high burnup used fuel that the concentrations of the higher plutonium isotopes will be higher than the low burnup fuel which is reprocessed to obtain weapons grade plutonium.\n\nThe formation of 240Pu, 241Pu and 242Pu from 238U\nIsotope Thermal neutron\ncross section[9]\nCapture Fission\n238U 2.683 0.000 α 4.468 x 109 years\n239U 20.57 14.11 β 23.45 minutes\n239Np 77.03 β 2.356 days\n239Pu 270.7 747.9 α 24,110 years\n240Pu 287.5 0.064 α 6,561 years\n241Pu 363.0 1012 β 14.325 years\n242Pu 19.16 0.001 α 373,300 years\n\n\nMain article: Plutonium-239\n\n\nA ring of weapons-grade electrorefined plutonium, with 99.96% purity.

If I shoot nothing, advertise nothing, I have to pay those bills.\n\nI have no debt and own my camera and computer. I work from home so have internet anyway. So $2250.\n\nIf I just wait for the phone to ring and email them the files there would be no other costs.\n\nLets assume my marketing is FB and it spend an hour a week. I spend an hour a month, on average, on my website. So ~60 hours a year labor.\n\nI shoot 4 seniors at what, $250 each? Each takes 4 hours with editing - 16 hours.\n\nI shoot 2 weddings, 20 hours w/ meetings, prep, travel, shoot, editing at $1200 each.\n\nSo SALES for the year are $3400. My expenses $2250. PROFIT! Nope, not profit. Not yet.\n\nI've not accounted for all the costs yet - I worked 116 hours to earn that $3400. But I didn't EARN 3400 did I? I earned $1150.\n\nNow what is my time worth? $10/hour? Then the business LOST $10. 116 hours at $10 is $1160...\n\nNow if I\"m paying myself $9/ hour then yes, the business made a profit.\n\nBut the IRS accounts all this a bit differently. They let you deduct a portion of your house' costs (utilities, taxes, repairs) since you used a portion of your house for the biz. You get to right off the miles you drove for the business too. So these may well add to $4,000 in additional deductions.\n\nNow your business lost money - $3400 sales, -2250 expenses, -4000 expenses you have a loss of $2850. So no, you did NOT make a profit.\n\nIMO you made money, albeit not much, but yes, you can say you made a profit.\n\nYour investment (money spent on gear, education, computers, etc) returned nothing. These days with interest rates at tenths of a percent that may be OK. But if you spent $10,000 to get camera, lens, flash, computer, ignoring the depreciation and only looking at the CASH value you may have done worse than if you buried the money in a can in the yard.\n\nI know the computer I'm tying this at cost $1000. I know I paid $3200 for my 5D3. I know I can't get that much for either one used. Their value lies is in being used as tools to deliver products and services.\n\nBut if you do the math - is all the work and aggravation and education worth $9/hour? If MONEY is what you want or need you can make more waiting tables in most any restaurant.\n\n-- hide signature --\n\n\nI'm sorry was there a yes or a no in there somewhere?\n\n-- hide signature --\n\n\n PenguinPhotoCo's gear list:PenguinPhotoCo's gear list\nReply Reply with quote Complain\nPost (hide subjects)Posted by\nKeyboard shortcuts:\nColor scheme?

"text": "Halonium ion\n\nFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\nJump to: navigation, search\nA ball-and-stick model of the bromonium ion formed from cyclopentene\n\nA halonium ion in organic chemistry is any onium compound (ion) containing a halogen atom carrying a positive charge. This cation has the general structure R-X+-R where X is any halogen and R any organic residue and this structure can be cyclic or an open chain molecular structure. Halonium ions formed from fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine are called fluoronium, chloronium, bromonium, and iodonium, respectively. The simplest halonium ions are of the structure H-X+-H (X = F, Cl, Br, I). Halonium ions often have a three-atom cyclic structure resulting from the formal addition of a halogenium ion X+ to a C=C double bond.[1]\n\n\nHalonium ions were first postulated in 1937 by Roberts and Kimball[2] to account for observed diastereoselectivity in halogen addition reactions to alkenes. They correctly argued that if the initial reaction intermediate in bromination is the open-chain X–C–C+, rotation around the C–C single bond would be possible leading to a mixture of equal amounts of dihalogen cis isomer and trans isomer, which is not the case. They also asserted that a positively charged halogen atom is isoelectronic with oxygen and that carbon and bromine have comparable ionization potentials.\n\nIn 1970 George A.

"text": "Hilbert's third problem\n\nFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\nJump to: navigation, search\n\nThe third on Hilbert's list of mathematical problems, presented in 1900, was the first to be solved. The problem is related to the following question: given any two polyhedra of equal volume, is it always possible to cut the first into finitely many polyhedral pieces which can be reassembled to yield the second? Based on earlier writings by Gauss,(Werke, vol. 8, pp. 241 and 244) Hilbert conjectured that this is not always possible. This was confirmed within the year by his student Max Dehn, who proved that the answer in general is \"no\" by producing a counterexample.\n\nThe answer for the analogous question about polygons in 2 dimensions is \"yes\" and had been known for a long time; this is the Bolyai–Gerwien theorem.\n\nHistory and motivation[edit]\n\nThe formula for the volume of a pyramid,\n\n\\frac{\\text{base area} \\times \\text{height}}{3},\n\nhad been known to Euclid, but all proofs of it involve some form of limiting process or calculus, notably the method of exhaustion or, in more modern form, Cavalieri's principle. Similar formulas in plane geometry can be proven with more elementary means. Gauss regretted this defect in two of his letters. This was the motivation for Hilbert: is it possible to prove the equality of volume using elementary \"cut-and-glue\" methods? Because if not, then an elementary proof of Euclid's result is also impossible.\n\nDehn's answer[edit]\n\nDehn's proof is an instance in which abstract algebra is used to prove an impossibility result in geometry. Other examples are doubling the cube and trisecting the angle.\n\nWe call two polyhedra scissors-congruent if the first can be cut into finitely many polyhedral pieces which can be reassembled to yield the second. Obviously, any two scissors-congruent polyhedra have the same volume. Hilbert asks about the converse.\n\nFor every polyhedron P, Dehn defines a value, now known as the Dehn invariant D(P), with the following property:\n\n • If P is cut into two polyhedral pieces P1 and P2 with one plane cut, then D(P) = D(P1) + D(P2).\n\nFrom this it follows\n\n • If P is cut into n polyhedral pieces P1,...,Pn, then D(P) = D(P1) + ... + D(Pn)\n\nand in particular\n\n • If two polyhedra are scissors-congruent, then they have the same Dehn invariant.\n\nHe then shows that every cube has Dehn invariant zero while every regular tetrahedron has non-zero Dehn invariant.

"text": "dangers of TCPA/palladium (fwd)\n\nToby Corkindale toby at netcraft.com.au\nTue Aug 6 09:47:37 CST 2002\n\nI hope you don't mind me forwarding this on. Its definately of \nsignificance to Linux.\n\n\nDate: Mon, 5 Aug 2002 06:00:31 +0100\nFrom: Adam Back <adam at cypherspace.org>\nTo: Cypherpunks <cypherpunks at minder.net>\nCc: Cryptography <cryptography at wasabisystems.com>,\n Adam Back <adam at cypherspace.org>\nSubject: dangers of TCPA/palladium\n\nLike anonymous, I've been reading some of the palladium and TCPA docs.\n\nI think some of the current disagreements and not very strongly\ntechnology grounded responses to anonymous are due to the lack of any\nconcise and informative papers describing TCPA and palladium.\n\nNot everyone has the energy to reverse engineer a detailed 300-odd\npages of TCPA spec [1] back into high-level design considerations; the\nmore manageably short business level TCPA FAQs [2], [3] are too\nheavily PR spun and biased to extract much useful information from.\n\nSo so far I've read Ross Anderson's initial expose of the problem [4];\nplus Ross's FAQ [5]. (And more, reading list continues below...).\n\nThe relationship between TCPA, and Palladium is:\n\n- TCPA is the hardware and firmware (Compaq, Intel, IBM, HP, and\nMicrosoft, plus 135+ other companies)\n\n- Palladium is a proposed OS feature-set based on the TCPA hardware\n\nThe main 4 features proposed in the TCPA/palladium scheme are:\n\n1. secure bootstrap -- checksums of BIOS, firmware, privileged OS code\nare used to ensure the machine knows whether it is running certified\nsoftware or not. This is rooted in hardware, so you can't by pass it\nby using virtualization, only by hardware hacking (*).\n\n2. software attestation -- the hardware supports attesting to a third\nparty whether a call comes from a certified software component as\nassured by the hardware described in feature 1.\n\n3. hardware assisted compartmentalization -- CPU can run privileged\nsoftware, and RAM can contain information that you can not examine,\nand can not modify. (Optionally the software source can be published,\nbut that is not necessary, and if it's not you won't be able to\nreverse-engineer it as it can be encrypted for the CPU).\n\n4. sealing -- applications can store data that can only be read by\nthat application. This works based on more hardware -- the software\nstate checksums developed in feature 1 are used by hardware to\ngenerate encryption keys. The hardware will refuse to generate the\nkey unless the same software state is running.\n\nOne good paper to understand the secure bootstrap is an academic paper\n\"A Secure and Reliable Bootstrap architecture\" [6].\n\nIt's interesting to see that one of the author's of [6] has said that\nTCPA as curently formed is a bad thing and is trying to influence TCPA\nto make it more open, to exhibit stronger privacy properties read his\ncomments at [7].\n\nThere are a lot of potential negative implications of this technology,\nit represents a major shift in the balance of power comparable in\nmagnitude to the clipper chip:\n\n1. Potentially cedes control of the platform -- while the palladium\ndocs talk about being able to boot the hardware with TCPA turned off,\nthere exists possibility that with minor configuration change the\nhardware / firmware ensemble that forms palladium/TCPA could be\nconfigured to allow only certified OSes to boot, period. It's\nintereseting to note, if I read correctly, that the X-box (based on\nceleron processor and TCPA / TCPA-like features) does employ this\nfeature. See for example: [8].\n\nThe documents talk about there being no barrier to certifying TCPA\naware extensions to open-source OSes. However I'm having trouble\nfiguring out how this would work. Perhaps IBM with it's linux support\nwould build a TCPA extension for linux. Think about it -- the\nextension runs in privileged mode, and presumably won't be certified\nunless it passes some audit enforcing TCPA policies. (Such as keeping\nthe owner of the machine from reading sealed documents, or reading the\ncontents of DRM policy controlled documents without meeting the\nrequirements for the DRM policy.)\n\n2. DSS over-again -- a big aspect of the DSS reverse-engineering was\nto allow DVDs to be played in software on linux. The TCPA platform\nseems to have the primary goal of making a framework within which it\nis possible to build extensions to implement hardware tamper resistant\nDRM. (The DRM implementation would run in a hardware assisted code\ncompartment as described in feature 3 above). So now where does that\nput open source platforms? Will they be able to read such DRM\nprotected content? It seems likely that in the longer term the DRM\nplatform will include video cards without access to video memory,\nperhaps encryption of the video signal out to the monitor, and of\naudio out to the speakers. (There are other existing schemes to do\nthese things which dovetail into the likely TCPA DRM framework.)\n\nWith the secure boot strap described in feature 1, the video card and\nso on are also part of the boot strap process, so the DRM system would\nhave ready support from the platform for robustly refusing to play\nexcept on certain types of hardware. Similarly the application\nsoftware which plays these DRM policy protected files and talks to the\nDRM policy module in the hardware assisted code compartment will\nitself be an application which uses the security boot-strapping\nfeatures. So it won't be possible to write an application on for\nexample linux to play these files without an audit and license etc\nfrom various content, DRM and OS cartels. This will lead to exactly\nthe kind of thing Richard Stallman talked about in his prescient paper\non the coming platform and right to develop competing software control\nwars [9].\n\n3. Privacy support is broken -- the \"privacy\" features while clearly\nattempts to defuse a re-run at the pentium serial number debacle, have\nnot really fixed it's problems. You have to trust the \"Trusted Third\nParty\" privacy CA not to track you and not to collude with other CAs\nand software vendors. There are known solutions to this particular\nsub-problem, for example Stefan Brands digital credentials [10], which\ncan be used to build a cryptographically assured privacy preserving\nPKI avoiding the linking problems arising from identity based and\nattribute certificates.\n\n4. Strong enforcement for DMCA DRM excesses -- the types of DRM system\nwhich the platform enables stand a fair chance of providing high\nlevels of enforcement for things which though strictly legally\nmandated (copyright licensing restrictions, limited number of plays of\nCDs / DVDs other disadvantageous schemes; inflexible and usurious\nsoftware licensing), if enforced strictly would have deleterious\neffects on society and freedom. Copyright violation is widely\npracticed to a greater or less extent by just about all individuals.\nIt is widely viewed as acceptable behavior. These social realities\nand personal freedoms are not taken into account or represented in the\nlobbying schemes which lead to the media cartels obtaining legal\nsupport for the erosion of users rights and expansionist power grabs\nin DMCA, WIPO etc.\n\nSome of these issues might be not so bad except for the track records,\nand obvious monopolistic tendencies and economic pressures on the\nentities who will have the root keys to the worlds computers. There\nwill be no effect choice or competition due to existing near\nmonopolies, or cartelisation in the hardware, operating system, and\ncontent distribution conglomerates.\n\n5. Strong enforcement for the software renting model -- the types of\nsoftware licensing policy enforcement that can be built with the\nplatform will also start to strongly enable the software and object\nrental ideas. Again potentially these models have some merit except\nthat they will be sabotaged by API lock out, where the root key owners\nwill be able to charge monopoly rents for access to APIs.\n\n6. Audits and certification become vastly more prevalent. Having had\nsome involvement with software certification (FIPS 140-1 / CC) I can\nattest that this can be expensive exercises. It is unlikely that the\nopen source community will be able to get software certified due to\ncost (the software is free, there is no business entity to claim\nownership of the certification rights, and so no way to recuperate the\ncosts). While certification where competition is able to function is\na good thing, providing users with a transparency and needed\nassurance, the danger with tying audits to TCPA is that it will be\nanother barrier to entry for small businesses, and for open source\n\n7. Untrusted, unauditable software will be able to run without\nscrutiny inside the hardware assisted code compartments. Some of the\ndocumentation talks about open sourcing some aspects. While this may\ncome to pass, but that sounded like the TOR (Trusted Operating Root);\nother extension modules also running in unauditable compartments will\nnot be so published.\n\n8. Gives away root control of your machine -- providing potentially\nuniversal remote control of users machines to any government agencies\nwith access to the TCPA certification master keys, or policies\nallowing them to demand certifications on hostile code on demand.\nCentral authorities are likely to be the only, or the default\ncontrollers of the firmware/software upgrade mechanism which comes as\npart of the secure bootstrap feature.\n\n9. Provides a dangerously tempting target for government power-grabs\n-- governments will be very interested to be able to abuse the power\nprovided by the platform, to gain access to it's keys to be able to\ninsert remote backdoors, and/or to try to mandate government policy\nenforcement modules once such a platform is built. Think this is\nunrealistic? Recall clipper? The TCPA is a generic extensible policy\nenforcement architecture which can be configured to robustly enforce\npolicies against the interests of the machine owner. Clipper,\nkey-escrow the whole multi-year fight, at some point in the near\nfuture if some of the more egregious TCPA/Palladium framework features\nand configuration possibilities becomes widely deployed could be\nimplemented after the fact, as a TCPA/Palladium policy extentsion\nwhich runs in the hardware assisted code compartment and is\nauthenticated up to the hardware boot by the secure bootstrapping\n\nSo what I've read so far, I think people's gut reactions are right --\nthat it's an aggressive and abmitious power grab by the evil empire --\nthe 3 cartels / monopolies surrounding PC hardware, Operating systems\nand Content Distribution. The operating system near monoply will\ndoubtless find creative ways to use and expand the increased control\nto control application interoperability (with the sealing function),\nto control with hardware assistance the access to undocumented APIs\n(no more reverse engineering, or using the APIs even if you do / could\nreverse engineer).\n\nSo some of the already applications are immediately objectionable.\nThe scope for them to become more so with limited recourse or\ntechnical counter-measures possible on the part of the user community\nis huge. Probably the worst aspect is the central control -- it\nreally effectively does give remote root control to your machine to\npeople you don't want to trust. Also the control _will_ be abused for\nmonopolistic rent seeking and exclusionary policies to lock-out\ncompetition. Don't forget the fact that microsoft views linux as a\nmajor enemy as revealed by documents uncovered some the anti-trust\ndiscovery process.\n\nIn fact I'd say this is the biggest coming risk to personal freedom\nsince the days during the onset of the clipper chip / key escrow\nlooked like they stood some chance of becoming reality.\n\n\n(*) It may be possible to hack the firmware, given access to source\n\n[1] \"Trusted Computing Platform Alliance (TCPA) Main Specification\nVersion 1.1b\", TCPA\n\n\n[2] \"TCPA Specification/TPM Q&A\", TCPA\n\n\n[3] \"TCPA Frequently Asked Questions Rev 5.0\", TCPA\n\n\n[4] \"Security in Open versus Closed Systems (The Dance of Boltzmann,\nCoase and Moore)\", Ross Anderson,\n\n(Sections 4 and 5 only, rest is unrelated)\n\n\n[5] \"TCPA / Palladium Frequently Asked Questions Version 1.0\"\n\n\n[6] \"A Secure and Reliable Bootstrap Architecture\"\n\n author = \"Bill Arbaugh and Dave Farber and Jonathan Smith\",\n title = \"A Secure and Reliable Bootstrap Architecture\",\n booktitle = \"Proceedings of the IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy\",\n pages = 65-71,\n note = \"Also available as \\url{http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~waa/aegis.ps}\"\n\n[7] \"The TCPA; What's wrong; What's right and what to do about\",\nWilliam Arbaugh, 20 Jul 2002\n\n\n[8] \"Keeping Secrets in Hardware: the Micrsoft Xbox Case Study\",\nAndre \"bunnie\" Huang, 26 May 2002\n\n\n[9] \"The Right to Read\", Richard Stallman, Feb 1997, Communications of\nthe ACM (Volume 40, Number 2).\n\n\n[10] Stefan Brands\n\nBook \"Rethinking Public Key Infrastructures and Digital Certificates -\nBuilding in Privacy\", MIT Press, Aug 2000.\n\n\nNumber of other technical and semi-technical papers on that page.\n\nTo unsubscribe from the LinuxSA list:\n\nMore information about the linuxsa mailing list"

Perhaps IBM with it's linux support\nwould build a TCPA extension for linux. Think about it -- the\nextension runs in privileged mode, and presumably won't be certified\nunless it passes some audit enforcing TCPA policies. (Such as keeping\nthe owner of the machine from reading sealed documents, or reading the\ncontents of DRM policy controlled documents without meeting the\nrequirements for the DRM policy.)\n\n2. DSS over-again -- a big aspect of the DSS reverse-engineering was\nto allow DVDs to be played in software on linux. The TCPA platform\nseems to have the primary goal of making a framework within which it\nis possible to build extensions to implement hardware tamper resistant\nDRM. (The DRM implementation would run in a hardware assisted code\ncompartment as described in feature 3 above). So now where does that\nput open source platforms? Will they be able to read such DRM\nprotected content? It seems likely that in the longer term the DRM\nplatform will include video cards without access to video memory,\nperhaps encryption of the video signal out to the monitor, and of\naudio out to the speakers. (There are other existing schemes to do\nthese things which dovetail into the likely TCPA DRM framework.)\n\nWith the secure boot strap described in feature 1, the video card and\nso on are also part of the boot strap process, so the DRM system would\nhave ready support from the platform for robustly refusing to play\nexcept on certain types of hardware. Similarly the application\nsoftware which plays these DRM policy protected files and talks to the\nDRM policy module in the hardware assisted code compartment will\nitself be an application which uses the security boot-strapping\nfeatures. So it won't be possible to write an application on for\nexample linux to play these files without an audit and license etc\nfrom various content, DRM and OS cartels. This will lead to exactly\nthe kind of thing Richard Stallman talked about in his prescient paper\non the coming platform and right to develop competing software control\nwars [9].\n\n3. Privacy support is broken -- the \"privacy\" features while clearly\nattempts to defuse a re-run at the pentium serial number debacle, have\nnot really fixed it's problems. You have to trust the \"Trusted Third\nParty\" privacy CA not to track you and not to collude with other CAs\nand software vendors. There are known solutions to this particular\nsub-problem, for example Stefan Brands digital credentials [10], which\ncan be used to build a cryptographically assured privacy preserving\nPKI avoiding the linking problems arising from identity based and\nattribute certificates.\n\n4. Strong enforcement for DMCA DRM excesses -- the types of DRM system\nwhich the platform enables stand a fair chance of providing high\nlevels of enforcement for things which though strictly legally\nmandated (copyright licensing restrictions, limited number of plays of\nCDs / DVDs other disadvantageous schemes; inflexible and usurious\nsoftware licensing), if enforced strictly would have deleterious\neffects on society and freedom. Copyright violation is widely\npracticed to a greater or less extent by just about all individuals.\nIt is widely viewed as acceptable behavior. These social realities\nand personal freedoms are not taken into account or represented in the\nlobbying schemes which lead to the media cartels obtaining legal\nsupport for the erosion of users rights and expansionist power grabs\nin DMCA, WIPO etc.\n\nSome of these issues might be not so bad except for the track records,\nand obvious monopolistic tendencies and economic pressures on the\nentities who will have the root keys to the worlds computers. There\nwill be no effect choice or competition due to existing near\nmonopolies, or cartelisation in the hardware, operating system, and\ncontent distribution conglomerates.\n\n5. Strong enforcement for the software renting model -- the types of\nsoftware licensing policy enforcement that can be built with the\nplatform will also start to strongly enable the software and object\nrental ideas. Again potentially these models have some merit except\nthat they will be sabotaged by API lock out, where the root key owners\nwill be able to charge monopoly rents for access to APIs.\n\n6. Audits and certification become vastly more prevalent. Having had\nsome involvement with software certification (FIPS 140-1 / CC) I can\nattest that this can be expensive exercises. It is unlikely that the\nopen source community will be able to get software certified due to\ncost (the software is free, there is no business entity to claim\nownership of the certification rights, and so no way to recuperate the\ncosts). While certification where competition is able to function is\na good thing, providing users with a transparency and needed\nassurance, the danger with tying audits to TCPA is that it will be\nanother barrier to entry for small businesses, and for open source\n\n7. Untrusted, unauditable software will be able to run without\nscrutiny inside the hardware assisted code compartments. Some of the\ndocumentation talks about open sourcing some aspects. While this may\ncome to pass, but that sounded like the TOR (Trusted Operating Root);\nother extension modules also running in unauditable compartments will\nnot be so published.\n\n8. Gives away root control of your machine -- providing potentially\nuniversal remote control of users machines to any government agencies\nwith access to the TCPA certification master keys, or policies\nallowing them to demand certifications on hostile code on demand.\nCentral authorities are likely to be the only, or the default\ncontrollers of the firmware/software upgrade mechanism which comes as\npart of the secure bootstrap feature.\n\n9. Provides a dangerously tempting target for government power-grabs\n-- governments will be very interested to be able to abuse the power\nprovided by the platform, to gain access to it's keys to be able to\ninsert remote backdoors, and/or to try to mandate government policy\nenforcement modules once such a platform is built. Think this is\nunrealistic? Recall clipper? The TCPA is a generic extensible policy\nenforcement architecture which can be configured to robustly enforce\npolicies against the interests of the machine owner. Clipper,\nkey-escrow the whole multi-year fight, at some point in the near\nfuture if some of the more egregious TCPA/Palladium framework features\nand configuration possibilities becomes widely deployed could be\nimplemented after the fact, as a TCPA/Palladium policy extentsion\nwhich runs in the hardware assisted code compartment and is\nauthenticated up to the hardware boot by the secure bootstrapping\n\nSo what I've read so far, I think people's gut reactions are right --\nthat it's an aggressive and abmitious power grab by the evil empire --\nthe 3 cartels / monopolies surrounding PC hardware, Operating systems\nand Content Distribution. The operating system near monoply will\ndoubtless find creative ways to use and expand the increased control\nto control application interoperability (with the sealing function),\nto control with hardware assistance the access to undocumented APIs\n(no more reverse engineering, or using the APIs even if you do / could\nreverse engineer).\n\nSo some of the already applications are immediately objectionable.\nThe scope for them to become more so with limited recourse or\ntechnical counter-measures possible on the part of the user community\nis huge. Probably the worst aspect is the central control -- it\nreally effectively does give remote root control to your machine to\npeople you don't want to trust. Also the control _will_ be abused for\nmonopolistic rent seeking and exclusionary policies to lock-out\ncompetition. Don't forget the fact that microsoft views linux as a\nmajor enemy as revealed by documents uncovered some the anti-trust\ndiscovery process.\n\nIn fact I'd say this is the biggest coming risk to personal freedom\nsince the days during the onset of the clipper chip / key escrow\nlooked like they stood some chance of becoming reality.\n\n\n(*) It may be possible to hack the firmware, given access to source\n\n[1] \"Trusted Computing Platform Alliance (TCPA) Main Specification\nVersion 1.1b\", TCPA\n\n\n[2] \"TCPA Specification/TPM Q&A\", TCPA\n\n\n[3] \"TCPA Frequently Asked Questions Rev 5.0\", TCPA\n\n\n[4] \"Security in Open versus Closed Systems (The Dance of Boltzmann,\nCoase and Moore)\", Ross Anderson,\n\n(Sections 4 and 5 only, rest is unrelated)\n\n\n[5] \"TCPA / Palladium Frequently Asked Questions Version 1.0\"\n\n\n[6] \"A Secure and Reliable Bootstrap Architecture\"\n\n author = \"Bill Arbaugh and Dave Farber and Jonathan Smith\",\n title = \"A Secure and Reliable Bootstrap Architecture\",\n booktitle = \"Proceedings of the IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy\",\n pages = 65-71,\n note = \"Also available as \\url{http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~waa/aegis.ps}\"\n\n[7] \"The TCPA; What's wrong; What's right and what to do about\",\nWilliam Arbaugh, 20 Jul 2002\n\n\n[8] \"Keeping Secrets in Hardware: the Micrsoft Xbox Case Study\",\nAndre \"bunnie\" Huang, 26 May 2002\n\n\n[9] \"The Right to Read\", Richard Stallman, Feb 1997, Communications of\nthe ACM (Volume 40, Number 2).\n\n\n[10] Stefan Brands\n\nBook \"Rethinking Public Key Infrastructures and Digital Certificates -\nBuilding in Privacy\", MIT Press, Aug 2000.\n\n\nNumber of other technical and semi-technical papers on that page.\n\nTo unsubscribe from the LinuxSA list:\n\nMore information about the linuxsa mailing list"

"text": "dangers of TCPA/palladium (fwd)\n\nToby Corkindale toby at netcraft.com.au\nTue Aug 6 09:47:37 CST 2002\n\nI hope you don't mind me forwarding this on. Its definately of \nsignificance to Linux.\n\n\nDate: Mon, 5 Aug 2002 06:00:31 +0100\nFrom: Adam Back <adam at cypherspace.org>\nTo: Cypherpunks <cypherpunks at minder.net>\nCc: Cryptography <cryptography at wasabisystems.com>,\n Adam Back <adam at cypherspace.org>\nSubject: dangers of TCPA/palladium\n\nLike anonymous, I've been reading some of the palladium and TCPA docs.\n\nI think some of the current disagreements and not very strongly\ntechnology grounded responses to anonymous are due to the lack of any\nconcise and informative papers describing TCPA and palladium.\n\nNot everyone has the energy to reverse engineer a detailed 300-odd\npages of TCPA spec [1] back into high-level design considerations; the\nmore manageably short business level TCPA FAQs [2], [3] are too\nheavily PR spun and biased to extract much useful information from.\n\nSo so far I've read Ross Anderson's initial expose of the problem [4];\nplus Ross's FAQ [5]. (And more, reading list continues below...).\n\nThe relationship between TCPA, and Palladium is:\n\n- TCPA is the hardware and firmware (Compaq, Intel, IBM, HP, and\nMicrosoft, plus 135+ other companies)\n\n- Palladium is a proposed OS feature-set based on the TCPA hardware\n\nThe main 4 features proposed in the TCPA/palladium scheme are:\n\n1. secure bootstrap -- checksums of BIOS, firmware, privileged OS code\nare used to ensure the machine knows whether it is running certified\nsoftware or not. This is rooted in hardware, so you can't by pass it\nby using virtualization, only by hardware hacking (*).\n\n2. software attestation -- the hardware supports attesting to a third\nparty whether a call comes from a certified software component as\nassured by the hardware described in feature 1.\n\n3. hardware assisted compartmentalization -- CPU can run privileged\nsoftware, and RAM can contain information that you can not examine,\nand can not modify. (Optionally the software source can be published,\nbut that is not necessary, and if it's not you won't be able to\nreverse-engineer it as it can be encrypted for the CPU).\n\n4. sealing -- applications can store data that can only be read by\nthat application. This works based on more hardware -- the software\nstate checksums developed in feature 1 are used by hardware to\ngenerate encryption keys. The hardware will refuse to generate the\nkey unless the same software state is running.\n\nOne good paper to understand the secure bootstrap is an academic paper\n\"A Secure and Reliable Bootstrap architecture\" [6].\n\nIt's interesting to see that one of the author's of [6] has said that\nTCPA as curently formed is a bad thing and is trying to influence TCPA\nto make it more open, to exhibit stronger privacy properties read his\ncomments at [7].\n\nThere are a lot of potential negative implications of this technology,\nit represents a major shift in the balance of power comparable in\nmagnitude to the clipper chip:\n\n1. Potentially cedes control of the platform -- while the palladium\ndocs talk about being able to boot the hardware with TCPA turned off,\nthere exists possibility that with minor configuration change the\nhardware / firmware ensemble that forms palladium/TCPA could be\nconfigured to allow only certified OSes to boot, period. It's\nintereseting to note, if I read correctly, that the X-box (based on\nceleron processor and TCPA / TCPA-like features) does employ this\nfeature. See for example: [8].\n\nThe documents talk about there being no barrier to certifying TCPA\naware extensions to open-source OSes. However I'm having trouble\nfiguring out how this would work.

"text": "# Geometry: Circles Help\n\nThis page is for geometry students who need help and for teachers and tutors looking for resources on circles.\n\n## Geometry: Circles\n\nCircles are simple shapes of Euclidean geometry. A circle consists of those points in a plane which are at a constant distance, called the radius, from a fixed point, called the center. A chord of a circle is a line segment whose both endpoints lie on the circle. A diameter is a chord passing through the center. The length of a diameter is twice the radius. A diameter is the largest chord in a circle. Circles are simple closed curves which divide the plane into an interior and an exterior. The circumference of a circle is the perimeter of the circle, and the interior of the circle is called a disk. An arc is any connected part of a circle. A circle is a special ellipse in which the two foci are coincident. Circles are conic sections attained when a right circular cone is intersected with a plane perpendicular to the axis of the cone.\n\n### Radius\n\nDo you need help with Radius in your Geometry class?\n\n### Diameter\n\nDo you need help with Diameter in your Geometry class?\n\n### Circumference\n\nDo you need help with Circumference in your Geometry class?\n\n### Circle Equation\n\nDo you need help with Circle Equation in your Geometry class?\n\n### Area of Circles\n\nDo you need help with Area of Circles in your Geometry class?\n\n## Geometry: Circles Videos\n\n### Finding Equation Of A Circle By Completing The Square\n\nVideo Clip Length: 6 minutes 5 seconds \nVideo Clip Views: 30939 \nKeywords: circle equation, circles, completing the square, curves, equations, plane figures, quadratic equations, shapes, solving equations, solving quadratic equations\n\n### Area Of a Circle When Diameter is Given\n\nVideo Clip Length: 5 minutes 9 seconds \nVideo Clip Views: 28866 \nThis tutorial will teach you how to find the area of a circle when given the diameter.

There are open source libraries that allow you to encrypt a file but only provide the translation technique. After the information has been encrypted, how do you know what algorithm was used, who you encrypted it, what version did you used, etc. In order to decrypt the protected message or file, a well-defined cryptographic header provides all the information required. This also applies if the encrypted data is digitally signed and the recipient wants to validate the signature.\n\nThis article will address one of the critical components of a support infrastructure by providing a design of a cryptographic header used to precede encrypted and/or digitally signed messages and files. The header is used within an application known as DocuArmor that was written using Java and the Cryptography library from the BouncyCastle organization and designed by Logical Answers Inc. The header will store information used when encrypting and/or digitally signing a message or file and allow the recipient to decrypt the information and/or verify the digital signature. With a properly designed header, a person can encrypt their personal files as well as exchange confidential messages and authenticate the sender.\n\nHybrid Encryption\nIn order to encrypt personal files and exchange protected data, we use a hybrid technique with two types of encryption, symmetric and asymmetric.\n\nSymmetric encryption uses a single key to hide the message and reveal the message. There are several symmetric algorithms available such as AES (the Advanced Encryption Standard) but the important thing to remember is that the file can be encrypted and decrypted using the same key. An example is the Caesar cipher that shifts the letters of the alphabet by a specific number. If the shift is 2 (single key) then we get the following translation; a=c, b=d, c=e, ..., z=b.\n\nAsymmetric encryption uses a pair of keys (public, private) to hide and reveal the message and the RSA algorithm is most commonly used. The RSA algorithm was credited in 1977 to Ronald Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman. Sometimes referred to as Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), the pubic key is used to encrypt data and the private key is used to decrypt data.\n\nFigure 1: Public and Private Key Functions\n\nThe hybrid technique uses the symmetric key to encrypt a file. The asymmetric public key is used to encrypt the symmetric key and is placed in the header. When the recipient receives an encrypted file, the encrypted symmetric key is extracted from the header. The encrypted symmetric key is decrypted using the private key. The file is decrypted using the symmetric key.\n\nThe same pair of keys can be used with digital signatures. The private key is used to generate a digital signature from a file and inserted into the header. The public key is used to verify the authenticity of the signature.\n\nWhen two people want to exchange encrypted files, they each generate a pair of asymmetric keys and exchange a copy of their public keys. By using the other person's public key, they can encrypt a file, storing the cryptographic information in the header and then e-mail it to the recipient. The recipient will use the header to extract a symmetric key with their private key and decrypt the accompanying file. If a digital signature is included, the recipient can authenticate the sender.\n\nFigure 2: Exchange of Encrypted Files\n\nCryptographic Header\n\nFigure 3: Encrypted File Structure\n\n\nFigure 4: Cryptographic Header Structure\n\n • Total Len: Contains the total length of the header (stored as a 4 byte integer)\n • Header ID: Contains the string \"LAHEADER\" to identify the file (16 bytes)\n • Header Version: Structural version of the header (stored as a 4 byte integer)\n • Encryption Information: Holds the algorithm, mode, encrypted symmetric key, etc.\n • Digital Signature Information: Holds digital signature\n\nEncryption Information\nThe Encryption Information structure contains information that was used to encrypt the contents of the file and later decrypt the file. The symmetric key and initialization vector is encrypted with the recipient's asymmetric public key. The recipient could be the owner if you are encrypting a file for yourself or another user you want to send confidential information to.\n\nAn additional field has been allocated to allow the encryption of the symmetric key with another set of asymmetric keys. For example, if owner A is sending an encrypted file to another person B, the symmetric key can be encrypted with B's public key as well as A's public key so that either person can decrypt the file.\n\nAlternatively, an employee can encrypt a file with their public key and a corporation could insert an encrypted symmetric key into the header using their asymmetric keys. The corporation's asymmetric keys can be a Certifying Authority (CA), which can be used to issue employee keys.\n\nFigure 5: Encryption Information Structure\n\n • Encrypt Flag: (Y/N - 2 bytes) specifies whether the file is encrypted.\n • Decrypt ID Length: (integer - 4 bytes) length in chars(bytes) of the Key ID.\n • Decrypt ID: (size varies) an identifier of the RSA keys used in the encryption/decryption process. It is the alias associated to the asymmetric encryption keys (e.g., JaneDoe_12ff).\n • Other Decrypt ID: (size varies) an identifier of the RSA keys used in the encryption/decryption process. It can be the alias or the common name (e.g., JaneDoe_12ff or Logical Answers CA).\n • Symmetric Key Algorithm: (integer - 4 bytes) specifies the symmetric key algorithm used to encrypt the file. The default value is 1=AES.\n • Symmetric Key Mode: (integer - 4 bytes) specifies the symmetric key block cipher mode used to enhance confidentiality. The default value is 5=Segmented Integer Counter mode (CTR).\n • Symmetric Key Padding: (integer - 4 bytes) specifies the type of padding for block cipher. The default value is 1=No Padding\n • Wrapped Symmetric Key Length: (integer - 4 bytes)\n • Wrapped Symmetric Key: (size varies) symmetric key used to encrypt/decrypt the file and encrypted with the asymmetric key.\n • Initialization Vector Length: (integer - 4 bytes)\n • Initialization Vector: (byte[] - size varies) vector used with the symmetric encryption process.\n • Other Wrapped Symmetric Key Length: (integer - 4 bytes)\n • Other Wrapped Symmetric Key: (size varies) symmetric key used to encrypt/decrypt the file and encrypted with another person's asymmetric key.\n • Other Initialization Vector Length: (integer - 4 bytes)\n • Other Initialization Vector: (byte[] - size varies) vector used with the symmetric encryption process.\n\nDigital Signature Information\nThe Digital Signature Information structure contains information used to add or verify a digital signature generated from the contents of the file. The digital signature is generated with the owner's private key using a specific algorithm and then inserted into the header. When the recipient receives the signed file, they can use the signer's public key to validate its authenticity. If the signature is authenticated, it implies the file has not been altered and the holder of the private key generated the signature.\n\nFigure 6: Digital Signature Information Structure\n\n • Signed Flag: (Y/N - 2 bytes) specifies whether the file contains a digital signature\n • Signature Algorithm: (integer - 4 bytes) specifies the algorithm used to generate the digital signature. The default value is 12= SHA512WithRSAEncryption\n • Verify Signature Cert Name Length: (integer - 4 bytes) length in chars(bytes) of the filename of the certificate used to verify a digital signature\n • Verify Signature Cert Name: (size varies) filename of the certificate holding the RSA public key used to verify the digital signature of a file (e.g., JaneDoe_fa39.cer).\n • Signature Date/Time: (long - 8 bytes) date the digital signature was generated.\n • Signature Length: (integer - 4 bytes)\n • Signature: (size varies) holds digital signature generated with RSA private key and signature engine\n\nFile Naming Conventions\nThe Cryptographic header holds information that designates which keys were used to encrypt a file but it's not physically accessible without reading it in first. With proper naming conventions, you can determine who the intended recipient is for encrypted files - whether it is for yourself or a colleague. When you generate your pair of asymmetric encryption keys using Java, store them in a file called a key store. The key store holds a pair of asymmetric keys as an entry with a unique alias. The alias typically consists of the initial of your first name and your last name. To make it more unique, you can extract 4 hex digits from your public key and append an underline and the hex digits to the alias. For example, if the person's name was Jane Smith, then the resulting unique alias would be jsmith_ad5e. A certificate holds a person's public key and the alias would be used in the filename, as jsmith_ad5e.cer. Similarly, the key store holding the pair of asymmetric keys would be saved as, jsmith_ad5e.jks.\n\nFollowing the unique alias analogy, Jane Smith could encrypt files for herself and the file name would be appended with her alias and an appropriate file extension. For example, if Jane encrypted a personal file, myTaxes.txt, then the result would be myTaxes.txt.jsmith_ad5e.aes. If Jane wanted to send her colleague Dick an encrypted document, she would use Dick's certificate to encrypt it. If Dick's certificate is djones_9fa2, Jane could encrypt the file, comments.doc, for Dick and the resulting file would be comments.doc.djones_9fa2.aes. When Dick receives the file, he knows it is for him by recognizing his alias on the file name.\n\nThe unique alias is stored within the header. This reinforces the importance of having a well-defined Cryptographic header for implementing encryption within your applications.\n\nA well-defined cryptographic header stores the information required to encrypt, decrypt and digitally sign a file. Along with facilitating the implementation of standard cryptographic functions, the header also provides the following benefits:\n\n • The header allows for the protection of personal files as well as the exchange of confidential data.\n • Using the stored digital signature, the recipient can determine if the sender is valid and whether file has been altered.\n • The header allows either the sender or recipient to decrypt the encrypted file since both would encrypt the symmetric key with their public key.\n • Using the concept of a Certifying Authority pair of asymmetric keys, a corporation, group, or family could issue pairs of asymmetric keys to their employees or members and decipher files encrypted by them in case of emergencies.\n • The header allows for using different combinations of symmetric algorithms, modes, padding and key sizes to be used to encrypt information.\n • The header version allows for enhancements to be added to the structure for implementing new functions and still support older versions.\n\nReferences and Other Technical Notes\nSoftware requirements:\n\nRecommended Reading:\n\n • \"Beginning Cryptography with Java\" by David Hook.\n • \"The Code Book\" by Simon Singh\n\nMore Stories By James H.

An example is the Caesar cipher that shifts the letters of the alphabet by a specific number. If the shift is 2 (single key) then we get the following translation; a=c, b=d, c=e, ..., z=b.\n\nAsymmetric encryption uses a pair of keys (public, private) to hide and reveal the message and the RSA algorithm is most commonly used. The RSA algorithm was credited in 1977 to Ronald Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman. Sometimes referred to as Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), the pubic key is used to encrypt data and the private key is used to decrypt data.\n\nFigure 1: Public and Private Key Functions\n\nThe hybrid technique uses the symmetric key to encrypt a file. The asymmetric public key is used to encrypt the symmetric key and is placed in the header. When the recipient receives an encrypted file, the encrypted symmetric key is extracted from the header. The encrypted symmetric key is decrypted using the private key. The file is decrypted using the symmetric key.\n\nThe same pair of keys can be used with digital signatures. The private key is used to generate a digital signature from a file and inserted into the header. The public key is used to verify the authenticity of the signature.\n\nWhen two people want to exchange encrypted files, they each generate a pair of asymmetric keys and exchange a copy of their public keys. By using the other person's public key, they can encrypt a file, storing the cryptographic information in the header and then e-mail it to the recipient. The recipient will use the header to extract a symmetric key with their private key and decrypt the accompanying file. If a digital signature is included, the recipient can authenticate the sender.\n\nFigure 2: Exchange of Encrypted Files\n\nCryptographic Header\n\nFigure 3: Encrypted File Structure\n\n\nFigure 4: Cryptographic Header Structure\n\n • Total Len: Contains the total length of the header (stored as a 4 byte integer)\n • Header ID: Contains the string \"LAHEADER\" to identify the file (16 bytes)\n • Header Version: Structural version of the header (stored as a 4 byte integer)\n • Encryption Information: Holds the algorithm, mode, encrypted symmetric key, etc.\n • Digital Signature Information: Holds digital signature\n\nEncryption Information\nThe Encryption Information structure contains information that was used to encrypt the contents of the file and later decrypt the file. The symmetric key and initialization vector is encrypted with the recipient's asymmetric public key. The recipient could be the owner if you are encrypting a file for yourself or another user you want to send confidential information to.\n\nAn additional field has been allocated to allow the encryption of the symmetric key with another set of asymmetric keys. For example, if owner A is sending an encrypted file to another person B, the symmetric key can be encrypted with B's public key as well as A's public key so that either person can decrypt the file.\n\nAlternatively, an employee can encrypt a file with their public key and a corporation could insert an encrypted symmetric key into the header using their asymmetric keys. The corporation's asymmetric keys can be a Certifying Authority (CA), which can be used to issue employee keys.\n\nFigure 5: Encryption Information Structure\n\n • Encrypt Flag: (Y/N - 2 bytes) specifies whether the file is encrypted.\n • Decrypt ID Length: (integer - 4 bytes) length in chars(bytes) of the Key ID.\n • Decrypt ID: (size varies) an identifier of the RSA keys used in the encryption/decryption process. It is the alias associated to the asymmetric encryption keys (e.g., JaneDoe_12ff).\n • Other Decrypt ID: (size varies) an identifier of the RSA keys used in the encryption/decryption process. It can be the alias or the common name (e.g., JaneDoe_12ff or Logical Answers CA).\n • Symmetric Key Algorithm: (integer - 4 bytes) specifies the symmetric key algorithm used to encrypt the file. The default value is 1=AES.\n • Symmetric Key Mode: (integer - 4 bytes) specifies the symmetric key block cipher mode used to enhance confidentiality. The default value is 5=Segmented Integer Counter mode (CTR).\n • Symmetric Key Padding: (integer - 4 bytes) specifies the type of padding for block cipher. The default value is 1=No Padding\n • Wrapped Symmetric Key Length: (integer - 4 bytes)\n • Wrapped Symmetric Key: (size varies) symmetric key used to encrypt/decrypt the file and encrypted with the asymmetric key.\n • Initialization Vector Length: (integer - 4 bytes)\n • Initialization Vector: (byte[] - size varies) vector used with the symmetric encryption process.\n • Other Wrapped Symmetric Key Length: (integer - 4 bytes)\n • Other Wrapped Symmetric Key: (size varies) symmetric key used to encrypt/decrypt the file and encrypted with another person's asymmetric key.\n • Other Initialization Vector Length: (integer - 4 bytes)\n • Other Initialization Vector: (byte[] - size varies) vector used with the symmetric encryption process.\n\nDigital Signature Information\nThe Digital Signature Information structure contains information used to add or verify a digital signature generated from the contents of the file. The digital signature is generated with the owner's private key using a specific algorithm and then inserted into the header. When the recipient receives the signed file, they can use the signer's public key to validate its authenticity. If the signature is authenticated, it implies the file has not been altered and the holder of the private key generated the signature.\n\nFigure 6: Digital Signature Information Structure\n\n • Signed Flag: (Y/N - 2 bytes) specifies whether the file contains a digital signature\n • Signature Algorithm: (integer - 4 bytes) specifies the algorithm used to generate the digital signature. The default value is 12= SHA512WithRSAEncryption\n • Verify Signature Cert Name Length: (integer - 4 bytes) length in chars(bytes) of the filename of the certificate used to verify a digital signature\n • Verify Signature Cert Name: (size varies) filename of the certificate holding the RSA public key used to verify the digital signature of a file (e.g., JaneDoe_fa39.cer).\n • Signature Date/Time: (long - 8 bytes) date the digital signature was generated.\n • Signature Length: (integer - 4 bytes)\n • Signature: (size varies) holds digital signature generated with RSA private key and signature engine\n\nFile Naming Conventions\nThe Cryptographic header holds information that designates which keys were used to encrypt a file but it's not physically accessible without reading it in first. With proper naming conventions, you can determine who the intended recipient is for encrypted files - whether it is for yourself or a colleague. When you generate your pair of asymmetric encryption keys using Java, store them in a file called a key store. The key store holds a pair of asymmetric keys as an entry with a unique alias. The alias typically consists of the initial of your first name and your last name. To make it more unique, you can extract 4 hex digits from your public key and append an underline and the hex digits to the alias. For example, if the person's name was Jane Smith, then the resulting unique alias would be jsmith_ad5e. A certificate holds a person's public key and the alias would be used in the filename, as jsmith_ad5e.cer. Similarly, the key store holding the pair of asymmetric keys would be saved as, jsmith_ad5e.jks.\n\nFollowing the unique alias analogy, Jane Smith could encrypt files for herself and the file name would be appended with her alias and an appropriate file extension. For example, if Jane encrypted a personal file, myTaxes.txt, then the result would be myTaxes.txt.jsmith_ad5e.aes. If Jane wanted to send her colleague Dick an encrypted document, she would use Dick's certificate to encrypt it. If Dick's certificate is djones_9fa2, Jane could encrypt the file, comments.doc, for Dick and the resulting file would be comments.doc.djones_9fa2.aes. When Dick receives the file, he knows it is for him by recognizing his alias on the file name.\n\nThe unique alias is stored within the header. This reinforces the importance of having a well-defined Cryptographic header for implementing encryption within your applications.\n\nA well-defined cryptographic header stores the information required to encrypt, decrypt and digitally sign a file. Along with facilitating the implementation of standard cryptographic functions, the header also provides the following benefits:\n\n • The header allows for the protection of personal files as well as the exchange of confidential data.\n • Using the stored digital signature, the recipient can determine if the sender is valid and whether file has been altered.\n • The header allows either the sender or recipient to decrypt the encrypted file since both would encrypt the symmetric key with their public key.\n • Using the concept of a Certifying Authority pair of asymmetric keys, a corporation, group, or family could issue pairs of asymmetric keys to their employees or members and decipher files encrypted by them in case of emergencies.\n • The header allows for using different combinations of symmetric algorithms, modes, padding and key sizes to be used to encrypt information.\n • The header version allows for enhancements to be added to the structure for implementing new functions and still support older versions.\n\nReferences and Other Technical Notes\nSoftware requirements:\n\nRecommended Reading:\n\n • \"Beginning Cryptography with Java\" by David Hook.\n • \"The Code Book\" by Simon Singh\n\nMore Stories By James H.

There are open source libraries that allow you to encrypt a file but only provide the translation technique. After the information has been encrypted, how do you know what algorithm was used, who you encrypted it, what version did you used, etc. In order to decrypt the protected message or file, a well-defined cryptographic header provides all the information required. This also applies if the encrypted data is digitally signed and the recipient wants to validate the signature.\n\nThis article will address one of the critical components of a support infrastructure by providing a design of a cryptographic header used to precede encrypted and/or digitally signed messages and files. The header is used within an application known as DocuArmor that was written using Java and the Cryptography library from the BouncyCastle organization and designed by Logical Answers Inc. The header will store information used when encrypting and/or digitally signing a message or file and allow the recipient to decrypt the information and/or verify the digital signature. With a properly designed header, a person can encrypt their personal files as well as exchange confidential messages and authenticate the sender.\n\nHybrid Encryption\nIn order to encrypt personal files and exchange protected data, we use a hybrid technique with two types of encryption, symmetric and asymmetric.\n\nSymmetric encryption uses a single key to hide the message and reveal the message.

For a discrete random variable, it is defined as:\n\\[ E[X] = \\sum_{x} x \\cdot P(X = x) \\]\n\nFor a continuous random variable, it is defined as:\n\\[ E[X] = \\int_{-\\infty}^{\\infty} x \\cdot f(x) \\, dx \\]\n\n## Variance and Standard Deviation\n\nThe **variance** of a random variable \\(X\\) measures the spread of its distribution and is defined as:\n\\[ \\text{Var}(X) = E[(X - E[X])^2] \\]\n\nThe **standard deviation** is the square root of the variance:\n\\[ \\sigma_X = \\sqrt{\\text{Var}(X)} \\]\n\n## Common Distributions\n\n### Binomial Distribution\n\nThe binomial distribution models the number of successes in a fixed number of independent Bernoulli trials. It is defined by two parameters: \\(n\\) (number of trials) and \\(p\\) (probability of success). The probability mass function is:\n\\[ P(X = k) = \\binom{n}{k} p^k (1-p)^{n-k} \\]\nfor \\(k = 0, 1, \\ldots, n\\).\n\n### Normal Distribution\n\nThe normal distribution is a continuous probability distribution characterized by its bell-shaped curve. It is defined by two parameters: the mean \\(\\mu\\) and the standard deviation \\(\\sigma\\). The probability density function is:\n\\[ f(x) = \\frac{1}{\\sigma \\sqrt{2\\pi}} e^{-\\frac{(x-\\mu)^2}{2\\sigma^2}} \\]\n\n## Conclusion\n\nProbability theory is a fundamental area of mathematics with applications in various fields such as statistics, finance, science, and engineering. Understanding the basic concepts and distributions is essential for analyzing random phenomena and making informed decisions based on probabilistic models."

Dennis, tag@lists.linuxgazette.net\nStarshine Technical Services, http://www.starshine.org/\n\n(?)The BIOS Clock, Y2K, Linux and Everything\n\nFrom Ward, David on 12 Aug 1998\n\nHow does linux keep track of \"real time\". Does it get its information from the BIOS system clock, or can it keep track of time by setting the correct time zone, and setting the time, even though the BIOS is incorrectly reporting the \"real time\"?.\n\nDavid Ward\n\n(!)Linux's initial clock settings (at boot up) are from the BIOS. However, the kernel internally keeps its own time thereafter.\nIt turns out that there is an immense about of work that is done on system clock synchronization over the Internet and among Unix systems.\nI'm assuming that you're concerned about some specific systems that have a buggy BIOS --- that you know will report invalid dates after the year 2000.\nTo detect this condition you could use a script like:\nCURRENT_YEAR=$( date +%Y )\nFILE_YEAR=$( find /etc/README -printf \"%TY\" )\n\n# We've suffered a backslip: the current 4 digit\n# year arimetically precedes the date on our\n# marker file\nlogger \"Backslip in Time Detected ... Fixing\"\n# Recover here....\n# After recovery and during shutdown, when\n# the clock is in a known good state, we can\n# touch the marker file to unsure that it's\n# date is periodically updated.\n\n... note that I'm using the $() (Korn/bash) construct rather than the equivalent \"backtick\" operators. This is to avoid ambiguity; the effect is the same.\nOne way to ensure that you have the correct date set on your system is to use the 'ntpdate' command around boot time. This sets your clock based on that of another system. Oddly enough, though this command is included on many Linux systems, there often seems to be no man page installed for it. However I've read the man pages at (http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~ntp) --- and they don't make things any easier.\nWith all due respect to Mr. Mills (one of the key figures in the NTP system) these pages (man and web) look like they were written for a federal funding grant. A simple HOWTO would be nice. (Maybe I'm just stupid but these pages seem to talk about everything other than how does a typical home or SOHO sysadmin configure their systems to have the correct time).\nIn any event here's the command I use to initially set my date:\n/usr/sbin/ntpdate -s ntp.ucsd.edu ns.scruz.net ntp1.cs.wisc.edu\n... this calls the ntpdate command and lists three time servers (stratum-2 in this case). In the complicated world of NTP the \"stratum\" of a clock is a measure of how \"far\" it is from the NIST atomic clocks which are used as the international standards. In essense it is a measure of the time server's \"authority\" (as in 'how authoritative is that answer'). It isn't actually a measure of how \"accurate\" that clock is, just how many hops are between it and the top of the hierarchy.\nThus my system (betelgeuse) becomes a \"stratum-3\" NTP server after I refer to these \"stratum-2\" servers. It is the system that I use to set the time for the rest of the house. After the time is initially set I periodically re-run this command to reset it. It reports to me the adjustment that it makes (typically under one second).\nThis is NOT recommended practice. (Mixing ntpdate and xntpd on a system). However, in my case, I don't want to configure my xntpd to refer to those same servers since it would mean that my ISDN router would fire up an unnecessary connection to the Internet every twenty minutes round the clock. Since I have no easy way to prevent this (the ISDN router I'm using is a separate box) I choose do use my method.\nIf you have a full time connection to the Internet then the best solution is to use the xntpd (extended Network Time Protocol Daemon) to keep your system clocks in sync with a set of time servers. I'd set up one or two systems on your 'perimeter' network (the one that's exposed to the Internet --- assuming you have a firewall). Then I'd have the rest of your systems use that (or those) as their time reference.\nxntpd also includes support for a couple of dozen GPS and radio clock devices. These range from a couple hundred to a few thousand dollars (and typically connect to your host via a serial line).\nIn all cases ntpdate and xntpd use sophisticated protocols to measure latency and network communications delays and to account for deviations between the reference servers. You're pretty well guaranteed sub-second accuracy when you use them.\nIn some versions and configurations, the NTP suite supports cryptographic integrity preservation methods, to prevent spurious and hostiles changes to your network time references.\nThe web pages I referred to above does have a wealth of details about the protocols and the suite. If you can manage to decode it into a set of simple instructions for us \"tape apes\" I'd love to see it written up as a HOW-TO. Perhaps the subscribers to the comp.protocols.time.ntp newsgroup might be more helpful.\n(My e-mail exchange with Mr. Mills on this issue was not terribly helpful).\nThere is one existing mini-HOWTO that could be expanded to suit the bill:\nClock Mini-HOWTO:\nhttp://www.ssc.com/linux/LDP/HOWTO/mini/Clock.html (written by Roy Bean).\n... it only contains a few words about xntpd.\nAlso, someone once told me about a GPS reciever that was very inexpensive. It had no display, only a DB-9 serial connector. If anyone out there knows of a reliable source for these, I'd like to know about it, and I'll be happy to publish the URL. I wouldn't mind paying $100 for a good time source --- but two or three hundred is just too much for my applications.\n\nCopyright © 1998, James T.

Similar to drywall, you don't want a seam at the corner. This is where the load causes the most stress and therefore cracking.\n\nFor windows, it's the same. You install a full vertical piece as if the window isn't there, and make sure the seam isn't in the corner. Use a chalk line to mark the edges of the window frame, and then you cutout the window with a circular saw.\n\nNote that if you install your sheathing before raising the wall, be sure each corner has the sheathing extend out to overlap appropriately. I like to stagger the joints so there isn't a direct path in the corner. Installing the sheathing before raising the wall makes it heavier, but allows you to completely square the wall first, and it's much easier to nail.\n\nshare|improve this answer\nThanks!

"text": "# Predicate Logic to Prove Equality of Math Formula\n\n### Thread Summary\n\nThis discussion revolves around proving the equality of mathematical expressions using predicate logic. The goal is to develop a program capable of recognizing equivalent mathematical formulas entered by students.\n\n### Discussion\n\n**1. Jul 2nd 2012, 07:46 PM #1** \n**User:** budihart \n**Status:** Newbie \n**Location:** Australia \n**Posts:** 1 \n\n**Main Discussion:** \nI'm attempting to create a program that verifies if a mathematical formula entered by a student is equivalent to a given goal formula. For instance, if the goal formula is $2 \\times X + Y$, any of the following student responses could be considered correct: \n- $X + X + Y$ \n- $X - 5 + X + Y + 5$ \n- $X/Y \\times Y + Y + X$ \n- $Y + X \\times 2$ \n\nI am considering using predicate logic to solve this problem but am unsure how to proceed. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. \n\n**2. Jul 3rd 2012, 04:37 AM #2** \n**User:** emakarov \n**Status:** MHF Contributor \n**Posts:** 5,573 \n**Thanks Received:** 789 \n\n**Response:** \nUsing predicate logic to determine if two expressions are equal might not directly provide an algorithm for this task. Instead, you may need to decide if an equation follows from field axioms. A potential method is to normalize both sides and compare them. If you only deal with ring operations, such as polynomials, you can:\n\n1. Order the variable names alphabetically.\n2. Use the standard form of a monomial: $x_1^{a_1} \\dots x_n^{a_n}$, where the sequence $x_1, \\dots, x_n$ is ordered.\n3. Decide on a monomial order, possibly using alphabetical order.\n4. Normalize every expression into a single form, which is a sum of monomials (possibly with coefficients) in the given order.\n\nGiven two expressions, normalize them and compare their forms. There might be smarter ways to define this normal form, such as using Horner form. For more advanced insights, consider the paper \"Proving Equalities in a Commutative Ring Done Right in Coq\" by Benjamin Grégoire and Assia Mahboubi. This paper provides ideas and implementation details, though it is advanced. Handling fields is more complex, so employing a computer algebra program and scripting the equation evaluation might be easier.\n\n### Similar Math Help Forum Discussions\n\n1. **Predicate Calculus help (interpretation of equality in a model of equality)** \n Posted in the Discrete Math Forum | Replies: 4 | Last Post: Dec 17th 2011, 12:48 PM\n\n2. **set theory / predicate logic math language problem** \n Posted in the Discrete Math Forum | Replies: 1 | Last Post: Dec 7th 2010, 01:21 AM\n\n3. **Trigonometry: Using Double Angle Formula for Tangent to Prove an Equality** \n Posted in the Trigonometry Forum | Replies: 2 | Last Post: Mar 26th 2010, 08:42 AM\n\n4. **Predicate Logic** \n Posted in the Discrete Math Forum | Replies: 6 | Last Post: Feb 6th 2010, 07:23 AM\n\n5. **predicate logic** \n Posted in the Discrete Math Forum | Replies: 10 | Last Post: Mar 6th 2009, 07:04 AM\n\n### Search Tags\n\nequality, formula, logic, math, predicate, predicate logic, prove"

Jul 2nd 2012, 07:46 PM #1** \n**User:** budihart \n**Status:** Newbie \n**Location:** Australia \n**Posts:** 1 \n\n**Main Discussion:** \nI'm attempting to create a program that verifies if a mathematical formula entered by a student is equivalent to a given goal formula. For instance, if the goal formula is $2 \\times X + Y$, any of the following student responses could be considered correct: \n- $X + X + Y$ \n- $X - 5 + X + Y + 5$ \n- $X/Y \\times Y + Y + X$ \n- $Y + X \\times 2$ \n\nI am considering using predicate logic to solve this problem but am unsure how to proceed.

"text": "# Everything You Need to Know about the Quotient Rule!\n\n## The Quotient Rule in Calculus\n\nThe quotient rule in calculus is a formal rule that determines the derivative of a function divided by another differentiable function. It is particularly useful in differentiation problems where one function is divided by another. The quotient rule is applied as follows:\n\nLet the function be \\( f(x) = \\frac{a(x)}{b(x)} \\).\n\nThe differentiation of the function is given by:\n\n\\[ f'(x) = \\frac{a(x) \\cdot b'(x) - a'(x) \\cdot b(x)}{[b(x)]^2} \\]\n\nThe quotient rule states that the derivative of a quotient is equal to the denominator times the numerator times the derivative of the denominator minus the numerator times the derivative of the denominator, all divided by the square of the denominator.\n\n## Proof of the Quotient Rule\n\nConsider the function \\( f(x) = \\frac{m(x)}{n(x)} \\). This can be rewritten as:\n\n\\[ f(x) = m(x) \\cdot [n(x)]^{-1} \\]\n\nUsing the product rule of differentiation:\n\n\\[ f'(x) = m'(x) \\cdot [n(x)]^{-1} + m(x) \\cdot \\frac{d}{dx} [n(x)]^{-1} \\]\n\nWe know that \\( \\frac{d}{dx} n(x)^{-1} = -n(x)^{-2} \\cdot n'(x) \\).\n\nThus:\n\n\\[ f'(x) = \\frac{m'(x)}{n(x)} - \\frac{m(x) \\cdot n'(x)}{[n(x)]^2} \\]\n\n\\[ f'(x) = \\frac{m'(x) \\cdot n(x) - m(x) \\cdot n'(x)}{[n(x)]^2} \\]\n\nThis is the quotient rule for \\( m(x) \\) and \\( n(x) \\).\n\n## How to Apply the Quotient Rule\n\nTo find the derivative of a function \\( f(x) = \\frac{u(x)}{v(x)} \\) using the quotient rule, follow these steps:\n\n1. Identify \\( u(x) \\) and \\( v(x) \\).\n2. Compute \\( u'(x) \\) and \\( v'(x) \\).\n3. Apply the quotient rule formula:\n\n\\[ f'(x) = \\frac{u'(x) \\cdot v(x) - u(x) \\cdot v'(x)}{[v(x)]^2} \\]\n\n## Example of the Quotient Rule\n\nConsider the function \\( f(x) = \\frac{x^2}{x+1} \\).\n\nHere:\n\n- \\( u(x) = x^2 \\)\n- \\( v(x) = x + 1 \\)\n- \\( u'(x) = 2x \\)\n- \\( v'(x) = 1 \\)\n\nApplying the quotient rule:\n\n\\[ f'(x) = \\frac{(x+1) \\cdot 2x - x^2 \\cdot 1}{(x+1)^2} \\]\n\n\\[ f'(x) = \\frac{2x^2 + 2x - x^2}{(x+1)^2} \\]\n\n\\[ f'(x) = \\frac{x^2 + 2x}{(x+1)^2} \\]\n\nThus, the derivative of \\( \\frac{x^2}{x+1} \\) is \\( \\frac{x^2 + 2x}{(x+1)^2} \\).\n\n## Applicability\n\nThe quotient rule can be used to find the derivative of an expression in the form of a ratio of two differentiable functions. It is derived from the product rule and the concept of limits in differentiation. The function \\( \\frac{f(x)}{g(x)} \\) requires that both \\( f(x) \\) and \\( g(x) \\) are differentiable, and \\( g(x) \\neq 0 \\).\n\nThis method can also be studied through the chain rule, as both methods are integral to understanding differentiation."

These purposes include: summarizing data, assisting in the analysis of experimental data, testing of hypotheses, extrapolation of system behaviour beyond the conditions that were covered experimentally, decision-support in practice.\n\nOver the last decade we have been involved in the development of functional-structural plant models (FSPM) in the domain of plant production. FSPM treat plants as a proliferation of elementary units explicitly describing 3D plant structure, and include physiological processes (e.g., photosynthesis and/or transport of substances through the plant structure). The main systems of study were tillering in wheat (an annual field crop) and flower cane production in glasshouse-grown cut roses (an intensively manipulated perennial crop system).\n\nUsing wheat as an example, we shall outline the different steps to construct and parameterize an FSPM. Even though, in the first instance, such models remain quite descriptive, there is a range of applications of models that generate a realistic representation of the 3D plant structure (e.g., light distribution in relation to structural properties, remote-sensing research, pest and disease dynamics in relation to structure).\n\nIn the wheat study it was tested whether the cessation of tillering, i.e. the arrest of 'bud break', could be explained from changes in light absorption (quantity) and signal perception (red/far-red ratio). This study was only a first step towards integrating knowledge on how light signals affect the structural development of a collection of plants. Subsequent steps taken include modelling the hormonal network regulating branching as modulated by the red/far-red ratio.

The number of canes produced depends on the number of buds that break. Understanding bud break is a central issue for FSPM because quiescence or breaking of buds directly affects the overall 3D structure of the crop, as well as the local light climate. Some data on bud break will be presented and the question will be raised on how to design and parameterize a 'decision tree', adequately describing bud fate over time in relation to the position of the bud in the structure and its environment (e.g. degree of illumination). Similar questions pertain to modelling signal transduction and to modelling of source-sink interaction and the associated flows of carbon in the 3D structure.\n\nModelling structure and volume poses specific questions like: to which extent are growth in length and volume coupled with dry matter allocation?

Results from detailed measurements on rose internodes show that the link between internode volume and fresh weight is very tight and largely independent from growth temperature, developmental age and phytomer rank.\n\nProperties of the shoot that grow from a broken bud may be predetermined from bud development. Stresses a plant experiences result in changed structural properties (e.g. leaf size) long after recovery from stress. Apparently, mechanisms exist of 'predetermination' of properties of organs.

"text": "On functional-structural plant modelling\n\nJan Vos (September 28, 2010)\n\nPlease install the Flash Plugin\n\n\nModels are simplified representations of a system, i.e. a limited part of reality. Structure and properties of specific models are chosen depending on the purpose they serve. These purposes include: summarizing data, assisting in the analysis of experimental data, testing of hypotheses, extrapolation of system behaviour beyond the conditions that were covered experimentally, decision-support in practice.\n\nOver the last decade we have been involved in the development of functional-structural plant models (FSPM) in the domain of plant production. FSPM treat plants as a proliferation of elementary units explicitly describing 3D plant structure, and include physiological processes (e.g., photosynthesis and/or transport of substances through the plant structure). The main systems of study were tillering in wheat (an annual field crop) and flower cane production in glasshouse-grown cut roses (an intensively manipulated perennial crop system).\n\nUsing wheat as an example, we shall outline the different steps to construct and parameterize an FSPM. Even though, in the first instance, such models remain quite descriptive, there is a range of applications of models that generate a realistic representation of the 3D plant structure (e.g., light distribution in relation to structural properties, remote-sensing research, pest and disease dynamics in relation to structure).\n\nIn the wheat study it was tested whether the cessation of tillering, i.e. the arrest of 'bud break', could be explained from changes in light absorption (quantity) and signal perception (red/far-red ratio). This study was only a first step towards integrating knowledge on how light signals affect the structural development of a collection of plants. Subsequent steps taken include modelling the hormonal network regulating branching as modulated by the red/far-red ratio. Some issues that need to be addressed in order to make further progress will be discussed.\n\nRose growers try to manage and manipulate their crops such as to maintain the production of a high number of flower canes of a particular quality (i.e. essentially a mixture of morphological, biometrical and flower yield-related traits) over a prolonged period of time. The number of canes produced depends on the number of buds that break. Understanding bud break is a central issue for FSPM because quiescence or breaking of buds directly affects the overall 3D structure of the crop, as well as the local light climate. Some data on bud break will be presented and the question will be raised on how to design and parameterize a 'decision tree', adequately describing bud fate over time in relation to the position of the bud in the structure and its environment (e.g. degree of illumination). Similar questions pertain to modelling signal transduction and to modelling of source-sink interaction and the associated flows of carbon in the 3D structure.\n\nModelling structure and volume poses specific questions like: to which extent are growth in length and volume coupled with dry matter allocation? In other words: what are the temporal dynamics of growth in weight and volume and to what extent are these synchronized, and modified by internal and external factors? Results from detailed measurements on rose internodes show that the link between internode volume and fresh weight is very tight and largely independent from growth temperature, developmental age and phytomer rank.\n\nProperties of the shoot that grow from a broken bud may be predetermined from bud development. Stresses a plant experiences result in changed structural properties (e.g. leaf size) long after recovery from stress. Apparently, mechanisms exist of 'predetermination' of properties of organs. These are issues that need to be explored further to make FSPM able to cope with changing environments."

However, in the countries with a history of using nuclear power, this technology has long been mired in controversy and dispute. Proponents argue that the tiny carbon footprint of nuclear fuel, the significantly low operating costs and relatively low life-cycle costs, and the emergence of a new generation of nuclear reactors with improved safety designs justify the use of nuclear power. Opponents warn that the health and environmental risks of nuclear radiation, the possibility of catastrophic reactor accidents, the increased risks of nuclear arms proliferation and terrorism, and the lack of agreed and well-tested radioactive waste management procedures are sufficient reasons to put the brakes on building new nuclear power plants (NPP) and shut down the old ones.\nIn May 2009, Bangladesh signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Russia to build a two-unit NPP at Rooppur. Subsequently, the two countries signed a series of agreements, the most recent being in January 2013, to consolidate the plan for building the NPPs. As Bangladesh enters the final phases of its plan to build NPPs, there is a need to critically examine the related issues and concerns. In this article, we focus primarily on the safety issues.\nA good way of understanding the safety of an NPP is to consider the likelihood and the potential consequences of a nuclear accident. According to latest estimates, out of the 437 reactors currently operating around the world, one of them is likely to have a major accident in the next 20 years. The corresponding probability of an individual reactor suffering an accident during its lifetime of 35-40 years is about 0.4%. Although this likelihood appears to be small, the astronomical magnitude of the consequences, which include large scale radioactive contamination of air, soil, water, and the biosphere, and many adverse health effects, makes this likelihood nontrivial, if not unacceptable.\nThere are many possible event sequences that constitute a reactor accident. One possible sequence is: the control mechanism (which regulates the rate of energy production) fails, causes the reactor to suffer a runaway chain reaction, overheats and melts the core, and evaporates the coolant. The molten core full of radioactive materials seeps through the bottom of the reactor, enters and contaminates the ground, the vegetation, rivers and water systems, and underground water tables. Furthermore, if the emergency heat removal systems also fail, overheating can build up excessive pressure inside the reactor and lead to a breach of the containment barrier, resulting in a release of radioactive gases into the atmosphere.\nThe most serious accidents in descending order of severity occurred at Chernobyl (Ukraine, 1986), Kyshtim (Russia, 1957), Fukushima (Japan, 2011), Three Mile Island (USA, 1979) and Seversk (Russia, 1993). The worst known reactor accident is the Chernobyl disaster. Inadequately trained personnel conducting unsafe tests on reactors (RBMK class) with a history of safety and design flaws caused the control mechanisms to fail. The resulting sequence of events led to a partial core meltdown.\nAfter the accident, radioactive material spread over a large portion of Eastern Europe causing several short-term casualties and such long term adverse health effects as cancers and cardiovascular diseases. Those living in Bangladesh around the time of this accident might remember that the government banned the import of milk products from East-European countries because they were contaminated with radioactive material.\nA 1996 study on the Probabilistic Safety Assessment of Russian Reactors done by ECONET Consulting for the Office of Environment, Nuclear Safety and Civil Protection of the European Commission notes that Russian “operating reactors were found to have significant safety deficiencies, both in design and operating practices.” The report further adds: “A comparison of the core damage frequency of the Soviet designed reactors considered in the report with some selected Western Water Pressurized Reactors shows that in general the risk of core damage is less at plants in Western countries.”\nBesides RBMK, the other reactors built in Russia are the VVERs, Russian acronym for Water-cooled, Water-moderated Energy Reactor. The reactors planned to be built at Rooppur are VVER-1000s. The VVER-1000 reactors, first introduced in the 1980s, are operating now mostly in Russia and former Soviet Republics. Although improved safety features were added to theVVER-1000 reactors, controversy still surrounds them. Hungary cancelled the order of two VVER-1000s to meet a precondition for joining the European Union in 2004. After reunification in 1990, Germany discontinued construction of power plants in “East Germany” that were to use VVER-1000s.\nAs Bangladesh is moving forward with a plan to introduce nuclear power into its energy mix, an important question to ask is whether the VVER-1000, with significant safety concerns, is the best choice among alternative reactor designs. If the answer is yes, then the following questions need to be answered well before the first neutron hits the first uranium nucleus.\nWill there be enough trained manpower with the work ethic, the discipline, and a well-internalised culture of safety required for operating an NPP? What’s the status of creating an independent regulatory agency to enact and implement safety regulations for the NPP, which is absolutely essential before an NPP begins operations? In the event of an accident or radiation leak, is there a viable plan to contain the damage and the exposure, and to evacuate millions of people to a safer area? How secure will be the reactors and spent fuel facilities from terrorist attacks, political upheavals, and natural disasters? Do the citizens know the risks of living near a nuclear power plant? What is the plan for decommissioning the reactors after their useful lives of 35-40 years?\nUnlike the hot ashes left over in a coal-burning furnace that can be cooled by dousing with water, radioactive “hot ashes,” in the form of fission fragments and actinides produced in the spent fuel of a reactor, cannot be cooled by water. They rid themselves of the excess energy on a time scale determined by their half-lives, the time it takes for half of their radiation to dissipate. Nuclei with half-lives less than a year do not pose waste disposal concerns because they become harmless in short order. Those with very long half-lives, e.g. millions of years, are also of little concern because they emit radiation at a negligible rate. The radioactive nuclei with half-lives somewhere between these broad limits are the ones that need to be addressed in any waste disposal scheme.\nThe half-life of one highly radioactive nucleus in the spent fuel, Plutonium-239, is 24,360 years. As a rule, it generally takes about ten half-lives for a radioactive nucleus to be considered safe. For plutonium, this is 243,600 years! What plan does Bangladesh have for the safe storage, transportation, and disposal of long-living and extremely hazardous radioactive wastes?\nIt is possible that the Bangladesh government has addressed the above issues and has answers to the above questions. But the citizens of Bangladesh, apparently, are not in the know.\nWhenever a new technology is introduced, it should be done with full sensitivity to the risks it imposes on the citizenry and with their input and consent. Bangladesh government should, therefore, do a critical self introspection before jumping onto the bandwagon of NPP nations. The government should also engage a broad spectrum of its citizens in an informed debate about the pros and cons of nuclear power. Otherwise, the government will be held accountable by its citizens if it fails to contain a nuclear mishap effectively with minimal loss of human life and limited damage to the environment.\nA nuclear mishap has ramifications which can extend far beyond its place of occurrence. For example, the fallout from a nuclear accident at Rooppur will affect not only the people in its immediate vicinity, but also the rest of Bangladesh and the neighbouring Indian states. The food and other goods exported from Bangladesh to other countries might also be affected by the fallout. Because of such global ramifications of a nuclear mishap, the government will also be accountable to the citizenry of the world.\n\nThe writers are Professor of Physics, Fordham University, New York and Nuclear Engineer & Energy Policy Specialist in Arlington, Virginia, respectively.\n\n • Khalid Hasan\n\n Concerns raised by two professional NRBs in this article seem to be valid and need to be addressed before moving on.

"text": "Young Loggerheads Have Magnetic Sense For Longitude\n\nFebruary 25, 2011\n\nFrom the very first moments of life, hatchling loggerhead sea turtles have an arduous task. They must embark on a transoceanic migration, swimming from the Florida coast eastward to the North Atlantic and then gradually migrating over the course of several years before returning again to North American shores. Now, researchers reporting online on February 24 in Current Biology, a Cell Press publication, have figured out how the young turtles find their way.\n\n“One of the great mysteries of animal behavior is how migratory animals can navigate in the open ocean, where there are no visual landmarks,” said Kenneth Lohmann of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.\n\n“The most difficult part of open-sea navigation is determining longitude or east-west position. It took human navigators centuries to figure out how to determine longitude on their long-distance voyages,” added Nathan Putman, a graduate student in Lohmann’s lab and lead author of the study. “This study shows, for the first time, how an animal does this.”\n\nIt appears that the turtles pick up on magnetic signatures that vary across the Earth’s surface in order to determine their position in space””both east-west and north-south””and steer themselves in the right direction. Although several species, including sea turtles, were known to rely on magnetic cues as a surrogate for latitude, the findings come as a surprise because those signals had been considered unpromising for determining east-west position.\n\nThe loggerheads’ secret is that they rely not on a single feature of the magnetic field, but on a combination of two: the angle at which the magnetic field lines intersect the Earth (a parameter known as inclination) and the strength of the magnetic field.\n\nNear the Equator, the field lines are approximately parallel to the Earth’s surface, Putman and Lohmann explained. As one travels north from the Equator, the field lines grow progressively steeper until they reach the poles, where they are directed straight down into the Earth. The magnetic field also varies in intensity, being generally strongest near the poles and weakest near the equator. Both parameters appear to vary more reliably from north to south than east to west, which had led many researchers to conclude that the magnetic field is useful only for latitudinal information.\n\n“Although it is true that an animal capable of detecting only inclination or only intensity would have a hard time determining longitude, loggerhead sea turtles detect both magnetic parameters,” Putman said. “This means that they can extract more information from the Earth’s field than is initially apparent.”\n\nWhat had been overlooked before is that inclination and intensity vary in slightly different directions across the Earth’s surface, Putman added. As a result of that difference, particular oceanic regions have distinct magnetic signatures consisting of a unique combination of inclination and intensity.\n\nThe researchers made the discovery by subjecting hatchlings to magnetic fields replicating those found at two locations, both along the migratory route but at opposite ends of the Atlantic Ocean.

"text": "Young Loggerheads Have Magnetic Sense For Longitude\n\nFebruary 25, 2011\n\nFrom the very first moments of life, hatchling loggerhead sea turtles have an arduous task. They must embark on a transoceanic migration, swimming from the Florida coast eastward to the North Atlantic and then gradually migrating over the course of several years before returning again to North American shores. Now, researchers reporting online on February 24 in Current Biology, a Cell Press publication, have figured out how the young turtles find their way.\n\n“One of the great mysteries of animal behavior is how migratory animals can navigate in the open ocean, where there are no visual landmarks,” said Kenneth Lohmann of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.\n\n“The most difficult part of open-sea navigation is determining longitude or east-west position. It took human navigators centuries to figure out how to determine longitude on their long-distance voyages,” added Nathan Putman, a graduate student in Lohmann’s lab and lead author of the study. “This study shows, for the first time, how an animal does this.”\n\nIt appears that the turtles pick up on magnetic signatures that vary across the Earth’s surface in order to determine their position in space””both east-west and north-south””and steer themselves in the right direction. Although several species, including sea turtles, were known to rely on magnetic cues as a surrogate for latitude, the findings come as a surprise because those signals had been considered unpromising for determining east-west position.\n\nThe loggerheads’ secret is that they rely not on a single feature of the magnetic field, but on a combination of two: the angle at which the magnetic field lines intersect the Earth (a parameter known as inclination) and the strength of the magnetic field.\n\nNear the Equator, the field lines are approximately parallel to the Earth’s surface, Putman and Lohmann explained. As one travels north from the Equator, the field lines grow progressively steeper until they reach the poles, where they are directed straight down into the Earth. The magnetic field also varies in intensity, being generally strongest near the poles and weakest near the equator. Both parameters appear to vary more reliably from north to south than east to west, which had led many researchers to conclude that the magnetic field is useful only for latitudinal information.\n\n“Although it is true that an animal capable of detecting only inclination or only intensity would have a hard time determining longitude, loggerhead sea turtles detect both magnetic parameters,” Putman said. “This means that they can extract more information from the Earth’s field than is initially apparent.”\n\nWhat had been overlooked before is that inclination and intensity vary in slightly different directions across the Earth’s surface, Putman added. As a result of that difference, particular oceanic regions have distinct magnetic signatures consisting of a unique combination of inclination and intensity.\n\nThe researchers made the discovery by subjecting hatchlings to magnetic fields replicating those found at two locations, both along the migratory route but at opposite ends of the Atlantic Ocean.

The main goal of algebra is to solve equations and understand the relationships between variables.\n\n**Basic Algebraic Concepts**\n\n1. **Variables and Constants**\n - In algebra, a variable is a symbol used to represent a number in expressions and equations. For example, in the equation $x + 2 = 5$, $x$ is the variable.\n - A constant is a fixed value that does not change. For example, in the expression $3x + 4$, the number 4 is a constant.\n\n2. **Expressions and Equations**\n - An algebraic expression is a mathematical phrase that can contain numbers, variables, and operators. For example, $3x + 2$ is an expression.\n - An equation is a statement that two expressions are equal, such as $3x + 2 = 11$.\n\n3. **Operations**\n - The basic operations in algebra are addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. These operations are used to manipulate algebraic expressions and solve equations.\n\n**Solving Linear Equations**\n\nA linear equation is an equation of the first degree, meaning it contains variables that are not raised to any power other than one.

Vitals: 165/95, 94 bpm, 16, normal temperature. The Patient's pupils respond slowly and unequally to light, breath sounds are diminished in the lung bases. A \"snoring\" sound is heard during inspiration. the patient is not responsive to painful stimuli.\n\nWhat is the next best step?\nRespiratory Physiology\nFactors that control oxygenation\nMechanical Ventilation\nOgugua Ndili Obi, MD, MPH\nPulmonary Critical Care Fellow\nBrody School of Medicine at ECU\n\nAn active process initiated when diaphragm contracts and intercostal muscle contract (rib cage expands).\n\nPassive process which occurs secondary to diaphragmatic relaxation and elastic recoil of lungs and thorax.\n\n\nComplete reversal of normal physiologic breathing.\n\nAir flow into lungs is now the result of a machine (ventilator) pushing or forcing air into lungs.\n\nFactors that Control Ventilation\nOverdistention of alveoli which may lead to air leaks, pneumothorax, pneumomediastimum and proinflammatory cascade which may worsen ARDS.\n\nShear Stress/Atelectrauma\nDamage which may occur when repetitively opening and closing lung units.\n\nCan lead to damage of normal lung units and progression of ARDS.\n\nHemodynamic Consequences of Positive Pressure Ventilation\nModes of Mechanical Ventilation\nThe type and pattern of breath delivery constitute the \"mode\" of ventilation.\n\nThe mode is determine by looking for the following factors:\n\nType of Breath (mandatory, spontaneous or assisted).\n\nVariable being controlled ( pressure vs volume)\n\nVolume targeted vs Pressure Targeted Ventilation\nIn pressure targeted ventilation an airway pressure limit is set while flow and tidal volume become the dependent variables.\n\nIn volume targeted ventilation a target volume and flow are preset and\npressure and inspiratory time become dependent variables.\n\nContinuous Mandatory Ventilation (CMV)\nBreathing is completely controlled by ventilator.\nPreset RR and Vt, does not allow for spontaneous breaths.\n\nPatient RR=10bpm (breath every 6 sec) Vt=500cc\n\nEvery 6 sec he will get 500cc regardless of whether he wants to breath 8bpm or 20bpm and regardless of whether he wants to take in 300cc or 7oocc\n\nVolume Assist Control Ventilation\nSet rate and set Vt however patient can take spontaneous breaths.\n\nOnce ventilator is triggered it will deliver a set Vt.\n\nPatient RR=4bpm (Every 15 sec) Vt=500cc\nPatient will get breath at 15,30,45,and 60 seconds\n\nIf patient wants to take a breath at 10 sec. he can but he will get 500cc regardless of whether he wants 300cc or 7oocc\n\nPressure Assist Control Ventilation\nPreset RR and PIP but allows patient can take spontaneous breath however once ventilator is triggered a preset pressure is given.\n\nPatient with ARDS RR=4bpm (breath every15 sec) with a PIP=25 cm H2O.\nPatient wants to take breath at 10 sec. he can but will get a PIP=25 and get a Vt dependent of lung compliance and airway resistance.\n\nPressure Support\nIs an assisted form of ventilation, i.e the patient must have a reliable spontaneous respiratory drive.\n\nThe operator sets the pressure to support each breath , PEEP, Fio2 and triggering parameter.\n\nThe patient controls the RR.\nPressure Regulated Volume Control\n\nA control mode which delivers a set tidal volume with each breath at the lowest possible peak pressure.\n\nPressures are adjusted by the ventilator once a preset Vt is reached.\n\nA 45-year-old woman is evaluated in the emergency department for the acute onset of dyspnea, wheezing, and progressive respiratory distress.

"text": "# Find the Factors\n\n## A Multiplication Based Logic Puzzle\n\n### The 100th Day of School\n\nKindergarten and first-grade students from coast to coast celebrate the 100th Day of School. They read books about 100 and the 100th day of school, bringing collections of 100 items to school and completing various 100th day worksheets.\n\nMy blogging friend, Paula Krieg, designed a fabulous art project for second-grade students. Her project is also perfect for the 100th day of school for mid-elementary grades. In the video near the end of her post, she explains her 100¢ art project, which includes detailed instructions, templates, and links to completed projects. Check it out!\n\nI like the Hap Palmer song about coins, which teaches important multiplication facts, including those about the number 100. Third graders could learn these multiplication facts on the 100th day of school. This song would also complement Paula’s 100¢ project.\n\n### Factorization of 100\n\nHere is the basic factoring information for the number 100:\n- 100 is a composite number.\n- Prime factorization: \\(100 = 2 \\times 2 \\times 5 \\times 5\\), which can be written as \\(100 = 2^2 \\times 5^2\\).\n- The exponents in the prime factorization are 2 and 2. Adding one to each and multiplying we get \\((2 + 1)(2 + 1) = 3 \\times 3 = 9\\). Therefore, 100 has exactly 9 factors.\n- Factors of 100: 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 100.\n- Factor pairs: 100 = 1 x 100, 2 x 50, 4 x 25, 5 x 20, or 10 x 10.\n- 100 is a perfect square. \\(\\sqrt{100} = 10\\).\n\n### Interesting Properties of 100\n\n- **Sum of Perfect Squares**: 100 can be written as the sum of two other perfect squares: \\(36 + 64 = 100\\), which is \\(6^2 + 8^2 = 10^2\\).\n- **Consecutive Numbers**: \n - 100 = 18 + 19 + 20 + 21 + 22 (sum of 5 consecutive numbers).\n - 100 = 9 + 10 + 11 + 12 + 13 + 14 + 15 + 16 (sum of 8 consecutive numbers).\n - 100 = 22 + 24 + 26 + 28 (sum of 4 consecutive even numbers).\n - 16 + 18 + 20 + 22 + 24 = 100 (sum of 5 consecutive even numbers).\n - 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 + 15 + 17 + 19 = 100 (sum of the first 10 odd numbers).\n - \\((1 + 2 + 3 + 4)^2 = 100\\) (square of the sum of the first four numbers).\n - 100 = 2 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 11 + 13 + 17 + 19 + 23 (sum of the first 9 prime numbers).\n - 100 = 47 + 53 (sum of two consecutive prime numbers).\n - \\(1^3 + 2^3 + 3^3 + 4^3 = 100\\) (sum of the first four cubes).\n\n- **Pythagorean Triples**:\n - 100 is the hypotenuse of two Pythagorean triple triangles: \\(60^2 + 80^2 = 100^2\\) and \\(28^2 + 96^2 = 100^2\\).\n - 100 is a leg in several other Pythagorean triples:\n - \\(75^2 + 100^2 = 125^2\\)\n - \\(100^2 + 105^2 = 145^2\\)\n - \\(100^2 + 240^2 = 260^2\\)\n - \\(100^2 + 495^2 = 505^2\\)\n - \\(100^2 + 621^2 = 629^2\\)\n - \\(100^2 + 1248^2 = 1252^2\\)\n - \\(100^2 + 2499^2 = 2501^2\\)\n\n The last one is a Primitive Pythagorean triple because the greatest common factor of 100, 2499, and 2501 is one.\n\n- **Difference of Squares**: The non-trivial way 100 is the difference of two squares is \\(26^2 - 24^2 = 100\\), because \\((26 + 24)(26 - 24) = 100\\).\n\n- **Palindromes in Different Bases**: 100 is a palindrome in five different bases:\n - 10201 in BASE 3\n - 202 in BASE 7\n - 121 BASE 9\n - 55 BASE 19\n - 44 BASE 24\n\n If you convert 100 from base 10 to these other bases, you will get:\n - 40 in BASE 25\n - 50 in BASE 20\n - 400 in BASE 5\n\n- **Numbers with 100 Factors**: We can find numbers that have 100 factors by using prime factorizations. The smallest number to have exactly 100 factors is 45,360.\n\n### Today’s Puzzle\n\nNow for today’s puzzle. . .100 isn’t one of its clues, but can you find the one and only place where 100 belongs in this mixed-up multiplication table?\n\n### IFRAME: likes-master\n\n---\n\nI hope you fully enjoy the 100th day of school!"
