    Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) Information and Glossary 2408 Wanda Daley Drive Ames, Iowa 50011 (515) 294-5359 | www.ehs.iastate.edu Copyright© Reviewed 2018 Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) Information Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) are informational sheets required by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) for hazardous substances (chemicals). The OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200) and the Iowa Hazardous Chemical Risks Right to Know Standard (Iowa Administrative Code Section 875, Chapters 110-140) requires SDSs be “readily accessible” for any hazardous chemical in the workplace. Employees must be made aware of the SDS content and chemical storage location. SDSs can be obtained from manufacturers and distributors at the time of initial shipment. Each university workplace must maintain an SDS for each hazardous chemical in its inventory. SDSs that are available electronically meet the “readily accessible” criteria, as long as computer access is available to all employees whenever work is being conducted. EH&S suggests that each workspace also maintain paper copies of commonly used hazardous chemicals for ease of access. OSHA requires specific information be included on an SDS, in a 16-section format as described in the UN Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS). The SDS must be in English and must include at least the following information: Section 1: Identification includes product identifier; manufacturer or distributor name, address, phone number; emergency phone number; recommended use; restrictions on use. Section 2: Hazard(s) Identification includes all hazards regarding the chemical; required label elements. Section 3: Composition/Information on Ingredients includes information on chemical ingredients; trade secret claims.

Smid Formerly: Computer Security Division, National Institute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, MD 20899, USA [email protected] Strong cryptographic algorithms are essential for the protection of stored and transmitted data throughout the world. This publication discusses the development of Federal Information Processing Standards Publication (FIPS) 197, which specifies a cryptographic algorithm known as the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). The AES was the result of a cooperative multiyear effort involving the U.S. government, industry, and the academic community. Several difficult problems that had to be resolved during the standard’s development are discussed, and the eventual solutions are presented. The author writes from his viewpoint as former leader of the Security Technology Group and later as acting director of the Computer Security Division at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, where he was responsible for the AES development.

LoKI comprises two modules: a Boltzmann solver, LoKI-B (to become open- source), and a chemistry solver, LoKI-C. Both modules can run as standalone tools or coupled in a self-consistent manner. LoKI handles simulations in any atomic / molecular gas mixture, considering collisions with any target state (electronic, vibrational and rotational), specified in the reaction mechanism adopted. As output, the tool provides the electron energy distribution function and the corresponding electron macroscopic parameters, along with the densities of species and the corresponding creation / destruction rates. 1.

  • 142, May 1999 Reuse of Organic Vapor Chemical Cartridges
    Technical Data Bulletin #142, May 1999 Reuse of Organic Vapor Chemical Cartridges Introduction One of the most significant changes in the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA’s) new 1910.134 respiratory protection standard is the requirement to establish change schedules for chemical cartridges used for gases and vapors. Change schedules are often based on service life measurements or estimates. To best use the service life information, it is necessary to understand how chemical cartridges work. It is especially important when organic vapor cartridges are used against volatile chemicals during more than one work shift. These chemicals may desorb from the carbon when not in use. Inappropriate reuse of the organic vapor cartridges can result in breakthrough occurring earlier than predicted by the service life estimate. For example, when the organic vapor cartridge has been used for chemicals that migrate through the cartridge during the storage or nonuse period, it should not be reused. The decision to reuse the cartridge may have an impact on worker protection and the respiratory protection program Background Chemical cartridges are used on respirators to help remove and lower worker exposures to harmful gases and vapors in the workplace. There are several types of chemical cartridges: organic vapor, ammonia, formaldehyde, mercury vapor and acid gases, such as hydrogen chloride, chlorine and sulfur dioxide. It is important to understand how the different cartridge types work. All chemical cartridges consist of a container filled with a sorbent. A chemical cartridge sorbent is a granular porous material that interacts with the gas or vapor molecule to remove it from the air.

However, reconciling migration patterns and gene flow to define the resolution of discrete population management units remains a major challenge, and a vital conservation priority for threatened species such as oceanic sharks. Many such species have been flagged for international protection, yet effective population assessments and management actions are hindered by lack of knowledge about the geographical extent and size of distinct populations. Combin- ing satellite tagging, passive acoustic monitoring and genetics, we reveal how eastern Pacific white sharks (Carcharodon carcharias) adhere to a highly predictable migratory cycle. Individuals persistently return to the same network of coastal hotspots following distant oceanic migrations and comprise a population genetically distinct from previously identified phylogenetic clades. We hypothesize that this strong homing behaviour has maintained the separation of a northeastern Pacific population following a historical introduction from Australia/New Zealand migrants during the Late Pleistocene.

  • Identifying Open Research Problems in Cryptography by Surveying Cryptographic Functions and Operations 1
    International Journal of Grid and Distributed Computing Vol. 10, No. 11 (2017), pp.79-98 http://dx.doi.org/10.14257/ijgdc.2017.10.11.08 Identifying Open Research Problems in Cryptography by Surveying Cryptographic Functions and Operations 1 Rahul Saha1, G. Geetha2, Gulshan Kumar3 and Hye-Jim Kim4 1,3School of Computer Science and Engineering, Lovely Professional University, Punjab, India 2Division of Research and Development, Lovely Professional University, Punjab, India 4Business Administration Research Institute, Sungshin W. University, 2 Bomun-ro 34da gil, Seongbuk-gu, Seoul, Republic of Korea Abstract Cryptography has always been a core component of security domain. Different security services such as confidentiality, integrity, availability, authentication, non-repudiation and access control, are provided by a number of cryptographic algorithms including block ciphers, stream ciphers and hash functions. Though the algorithms are public and cryptographic strength depends on the usage of the keys, the ciphertext analysis using different functions and operations used in the algorithms can lead to the path of revealing a key completely or partially. It is hard to find any survey till date which identifies different operations and functions used in cryptography. In this paper, we have categorized our survey of cryptographic functions and operations in the algorithms in three categories: block ciphers, stream ciphers and cryptanalysis attacks which are executable in different parts of the algorithms. This survey will help the budding researchers in the society of crypto for identifying different operations and functions in cryptographic algorithms. Keywords: cryptography; block; stream; cipher; plaintext; ciphertext; functions; research problems 1. Introduction Cryptography [1] in the previous time was analogous to encryption where the main task was to convert the readable message to an unreadable format.
