Methods for calculating draft, draft losses, andheat losses are given. Differential expansion of stack components isdiscussed. Design considerations for stack appurtenances areestablished.Single copy price: 45.00Obtain an electronic copy from: rodriguezs@asme.orgOrder from: Silvana Rodriguez-Bhatti, ASME; rodriguezs@asme.orgSend comments (with copy to BSR) to: Edgar Maradiaga, ASME;maradiagae@asme.orgITI (INCITS)New National AdoptionsBSR/ISO/IEC 9796-2-2002, Information technology - Security techniques- Digital signature schemes giving message recovery - Part 2: Integerfactorization based mechanisms (identical national adoption)Specifies three digital signature schemes giving message recovery, twoof which are deterministic (non-randomized) and one of which israndomized. The security of all three schemes is based on the difficultyof factorizing large numbers. All three schemes can provide either totalor partial message recovery.Single copy price: 84.00Obtain an electronic copy p?Order from: ANSlSend comments (with copy to BSR) to: Barbara Bennett,bbennett@itic.orgBSR/ISO/IEC 22091-2002, Information technology - Streaming LosslessData Compression algorithm (SLDC) (identical national adoption)Specifies a lossless compression algorithm to reduce the number of 8-bitbytes required to represent data records and File Marks.
