Several security researchers claim that blowfish has better performance than other symmetric encryption algorithms and does not have any known security vulnerabilities. research blowfish and create a one-page paper that outlines its strengths, weaknesses, how it is currently being used, etc. based on your research, do you agree that blowfish may be a top choice?

Six years ago, an 80-kw diesel electric set cost $160,000. the cost index for this class of equipment six years ago was 187 and is now 194. the cost-capacity factor is 0.6. the plant engineering staff is considering a 120-kw unit of the same general design to power a small isolated plant. assume we want to add a precompressor, which (when isolated and estimated separately) currently costs $13291. determine the total cost of the 120-kw unit. (hint: skip $ and comma symbols)

Suppose either computers or televisions can be assembled with the following labor inputs: units produced 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 total labor used 3 7 12 18 25 33 42 54 70 90 (a) draw the production possibilities curve for an economy with 54 units of labor. label it p54. (b) what is the opportunity cost of the eighth computer? (c) suppose immigration brings in 36 more workers. redraw the production possibilities curve to reflect this added labor. label the new curve p90.
