Cryptographic access control (CAC) is an approach to securing data
by encrypting it with a key, so that only the users in possession
of the correct key are able to decrypt the data and/or perform
further encryptions. Applications of cryptographic access control
will benefit companies, governments and the military where
structured access to information is essential. The purpose of this
book is to highlight the need for adaptability in cryptographic
access control schemes that are geared for dynamic environments,
such as the Internet. Adaptive Cryptographic Access Control
presents the challenges of designing hierarchical cryptographic key
management algorithms to implement Adaptive Access Control in
dynamic environments and suggest solutions that will overcome these
challenges. Adaptive Cryptographic Access Control is a cutting-edge
book focusing specifically on this topic in relation to security
and cryptographic access control. Both the theoretical and
practical aspects and approaches of cryptographic access control
are introduced in this book. Case studies and examples are provided
throughout this book.
High-performance CCD cameras have opened up an exciting new window
on the Universe for amateur astronomers. This book provides a
complete, self-contained guide to choosing and using CCD cameras.
We start with a no-nonsense introduction to how a CCD camera works
and just what determines its performance. We are then shown how to
use a CCD camera and calibrate accurately the images we obtain. A
clear review is then provided of the software available for
visualising, analysing and processing digital images. Finally, we
are guided through a series of key areas in astronomy where we can
make the best use of our CCD cameras. This handy volume is packed
with practical tips. It provides a clear introduction to CCD
astronomy for novices and an indispensable reference for more
experienced amateur astronomers.

This guide provides comprehensive practical information for both
beginning and advanced amateur astronomers on how to make
scientifically significant observations. The book explains in
detail how to observe every conceivable astronomical object--from
meteors to distant galaxies. It presents a wide variety of methods
ranging from the simplest visual observations, such as making
pencil drawings of the surface of the Moon, to the use of highly
sophisticated equipment, such as CCD cameras and photoelectric
photometers. It also explains how to record and catalog
observations using recognized professional terminology and
classification schemes. The volume's emphasis throughout is on
giving amateur astronomers sound information to use at the
telescope. The most effective and efficient techniques are
presented so that observers can apply those that are most suitable
to their own equipment and degree of experience. This comprehensive
survey of practical methods of observation will develop the
observational skills of the avid novice and will also satisfy the
more demanding needs of the experienced amateur astronomer.
How can you find new minor planets, comets and novae? How can you
use photoelectric detectors to derive the temperatures of stars?
And how can you predict future eclipses and occultations of stars
by minor planets? The questions asked by serious amateur
astronomers are answered in this authoritative and wide-ranging
guide, first published in 1994. For each topic, sound practical
methods of observation and the scientific background are given to
lead you to better observations. Guidelines also show you how to
record and catalogue your observations using the recognised
professional terminology and classification schemes. From the
simplest pencil drawings of the moon to observations of the most
distant galaxies with state-of-the-art CCD cameras and
photoelectric photometers, this guide is packed with practical tips
for all types of amateur observations. It will develop the
observational skills of the keen novice and satisfy the more
demanding needs of the experienced amateur astronomer.

The United States National Security Strategy contends that the War
on Terror is a "battle of ideas - a fight against the terrorists
and against their murderous ideology." In turn, it separates the
radical Islamist from their religion - Islam. The problem with this
contention rests with the fact that there is no separation of
religion from the terrorists', nor from their murderous ideology.
In light of this disconnect, a new comprehensive counter strategy
is required. Furthermore, ascribing to the premise that today's
fight represents a global insurgency, the revised strategy must
seek out ways to employ America's and its allies' full complement
of instruments of national power. These efforts could be used to
aid a grassroots establishment of a non-Western, moderate Islamic
voice, go on an offensive information operations campaign, or even
foster the development of a new form of Pan-Arabism. The end goal
would be to create a unifying counter ideological effort and win
the hearts and minds of the moderate Muslim community. By winning
over the hearts and minds of this populace, the counterinsurgency
would gain the upper hand over the effectiveness of the insurgent's
efforts and his ability to use the population for his ends, and
eventually achieve victory.

Fifty ways to be an enlightened carnivore, while taking better care
of our planet and ourselves, from the founder of Slow Food
USA.
We have evolved as meat eaters, proclaims Patrick Martins, and it's
futile to deny it. But, given the destructive forces of the
fast-food industry and factory farming, we need to make smart,
informed choices about the food we eat and where it comes from. In
50 short chapters, Martins cuts through organize zealotry and the
misleading jargon of food labeling to outline realistic steps
everyone can take to be part of the sustainable-food movement. With
wit, and insight, and no small amount of provocation, THE
CARNIVORE'S MANIFESTO is both a revolutionary call to arms and a
rollicking good read that will inspire, engage, and challenge
anyone interested in the way we eat today.
