TO MY WIFE LOIS Prologue For years I had wondered what the last day would be like. In January 1976 after two decades in the top echelons of the British Security Service, MI5, it was time to rejoin the real world. I emerged for the final time from Euston Road tube station. The winter sun shone brightly as I made my way down Gower Street toward Trafalgar Square. Fifty yards on I turned into the unmarked entrance to an anonymous office block. Tucked between an art college and a hospital stood the unlikely headquarters of British Counterespionage. I showed my pass to the policeman standing discreetly in the reception alcove and took one of the specially programmed lifts which carry senior officers to the sixth-floor inner sanctum. I walked silently down the corridor to my room next to the Director-General's suite. The offices were quiet. Far below I could hear the rumble of tube trains carrying commuters to the West End. I unlocked my door. In front of me stood the essential tools of the intelligence officer’s trade - a desk, two telephones, one scrambled for outside calls, and to one side a large green metal safe with an oversized combination lock on the front.

  • A Visual Motion Detection Circuit Suggested by Drosophila Connectomics

Meinertzhagen1,2 & Dmitri B. Chklovskii1 Animal behaviour arises from computations in neuronal circuits, but our understanding of these computations has been frustrated by the lack of detailed synaptic connection maps, or connectomes. For example, despite intensive investigations over half a century, the neuronal implementation of local motion detection in the insect visual system remains elusive. Here we develop a semi-automated pipeline using electron microscopy to reconstruct a connectome, containing 379 neurons and 8,637 chemical synaptic contacts, within the Drosophila optic medulla. By matching reconstructed neurons to examples from light microscopy, we assigned neurons to cell types and assembled a connectome of the repeating module of the medulla. Within this module, we identified cell types constituting a motion detection circuit, and showed that the connections onto individual motion-sensitive neurons in this circuit were consistent with their direction selectivity. Our results identify cellular targets for future functional investigations, and demonstrate that connectomes can provide key insights into neuronal computations. Vision in insects has been subject to intense behavioural1,physiological2 neuroanatomy14. Given the time-consuming nature of such recon- and anatomical3 investigations, yet our understanding of its underlying structions, we wanted to determine the smallest medulla volume, neural computations is still far from complete.

Aim of my paper is to describe a mathematical model for network security. This paper presents a design of data encryption and decryption in a network environment using RSA algorithm with specific coding of message. KEYWORDS: encryption, decryption, RSA, algorithm, I. INTRODUCTION Network security controls and prevents the un-authorized access of data, misuse, refutation, of computer network and other network-accessible resources. Network security involves the authorization of access to data in a network, which is controlled by the network administrator. Users choose or are assigned an ID and password or other authenticating information that allows them access to information and programs within their authority. It covers a variety of computer networks, both public and private, that are used in everyday jobs; conducting transactions and communications among businesses, government agencies and individuals. Networks can be private, such as within a company, and others which might be open to public access. Network security starts with authentication, commonly with a username and a password. Since this requires just one detail authenticating the user name i.e., the password—OTP NO.

In Eurasiabody size decreases clinally from north-northeastto south-southwest,and bill thinnessand relative tarsallength increaseclinally from the northeastto the southwest.This variationis consistentwith changes in environmental factorsknown to affect these characters.Geographical isolates in North Africavary in sizeand in bill andtarsus morphology in a way consistentwith habitatvariation among isolates.Similarities in mensural charactersamong samplesare more consistentwith similaritiesin ecologicalconditions than with taxonomy.Geographical variation in plumage pattern essentiallyis clinal in Eurasiabut discontinuousin North Africa. On a broad scale, plumagepattern variation is consistentwith the populationgroups defined by taxonomists (Eurasianand North African populationgroups). Within eachpopulation group consistency between variation in plumage pattern and the probable population phylogeny is poor.
