Complexity Overview

The most important complexity parameters for the discrete-logarithm scheme and the factoring schemes are summarized in Table 9.1. To enable a comparison of the schemes, the complexity parameters are presented as functions of input parameters that yield similar message-block spaces and security. This means  

Random number generation, which occurs in prekey and main key generation, has been omitted, because real random numbers are needed, and the speed depends very much on the type of the implementation (physical or involving the user). Furthermore, Remark 9.20 has been used. 

Prekey generation Similar to ordinary digital signature schemes Rather inefficient prekey verification Similar to ordinary digital signature schemes 

Lengths are in bits multiplications are modulo a number of length I, except for the two multiplications in sign in the discrete-logarithm scheme, where the modulus is only of length p. The parameters p, I, and c are discussed in the text above. 

Prekey generation and main key generation have been considered separately, because in the subsequent constructions with tree authentication, main key generation from the underlying one-time signature scheme will be used very often, but prekey generation only once.

Neuronal networks are nowadays predominantly applied in classification tasks. Here, three kind of networks are tested First the backpropagation network is used, due to the fact that it is the most robust and common network. The other two networks which are considered within this study have special adapted architectures for classification tasks. The Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ) Network consists of a neuronal structure that represents the LVQ learning strategy. The Fuzzy Adaptive Resonance Theory (Fuzzy-ART) network is a sophisticated network with a very complex structure but a high performance on classification tasks. Overviews on this extensive subject are given in [2] and [6]. 

Because of the complexity of the problem and the large amount of program development work that has to go into a synthesis design system, only a few groups worldwide have been active in this area. Here, we mention only a selection of the major ideas and achievements in this area. It is not the intention to give a comprehensive overview. For this, interested readers can consult Chapter X, Section 3.2 in the Handbook. This chapter presents one such system, the WODCA program, in greater detail.

Malaria. Malaria infection occurs in over 30% of the world s population and almost exclusively in developing countries. Approximately 150 X 10 cases occur each year, with one million deaths occurring in African children (87). The majority of the disease in humans is caused by four different species of the malarial parasite. Vaccine development is problematic for several reasons. First, the parasites have a complex life cycle. They are spread by insect vectors and go through different stages and forms (intercellular and extracellular sexual and asexual) as they grow in the blood and tissues (primarily fiver) of their human hosts. In addition, malaria is difficult to grow in large quantities outside the natural host (88). Despite these difficulties, vaccine development has been pursued for many years. An overview of the state of the art is available (89). 

In Section II we provide an overview of the current status of nucleic acid simulations, including studies on small oligonucleotides, DNA, RNA, and their complexes with proteins. This is followed a presentation of computational methods that are currently being applied for the study of nucleic acids. The final section of the chapter includes a number of practical considerations that may be useful in preparing, performing, and analyzing MD simulation based studies of nucleic acids. 

Crystal structure, crystal defects and chemical reactions. Most chemical reactions of interest to materials scientists involve at least one reactant in the solid state examples inelude surfaee oxidation, internal oxidation, the photographie process, electrochemieal reaetions in the solid state. All of these are critieally dependent on crystal defects, point defects in particular, and the thermodynamics of these point defeets, especially in ionic compounds, are far more complex than they are in single-component metals. I have spaee only for a superficial overview. 

According to an early historical overview (Jones 1960), the numerous attempts to understand the sintering process in both ceramics and metals fall into three periods (1) speculative, before 1937 (2) simple, 1937-1948 (3) complex, 1948 onwards. The complex experiments and theories began just at the time when metallurgy underwent its broad-based quantitative revolution (see Chapter 5). 

Heat exchangers used in gas production facilities are shell-and-tube, double-pipe, plate-and-frame, bath-type, forced-air, or direct-fired. In this chapter we will discuss the basic concepts for sizing and selecting heat exchangers. This is just a brief overview of this complex subject and is meant to provide the reader with a basis upon which to discuss specific sizing and selection details with heat exchange experts in engineering companies and with vendors.
