A method used to bring them [the bees] into a state of subjection is to blow smoke into the entrance and over the combs. If a person's motions about the hive are careful and deliberate, the bees will not attack. Smoke, when intelligently used, disarms opposition and puts the bees into a quiet state. The bee smoker used for this purpose is a small bellows attached to a cylindrical stove having a nozzle from which the smoke is blown. 1, record 8, English, - bee%20smoker

The obvious method of attack is brute-force exhaustive search of the key space [which is time consuming] Later it was suggested that a rich and powerful enemy could build a special-purpose computer capable of breaking DES [Data Encryption Standards] by exhaustive search in a reasonable amount of time. Later, Hellman showed a time-memory trade-off that allows improvement over exhaustive search if memory space is plentiful, after an exhaustive precomputation.

Lignin Preserving or Lignin Removal? Two approaches are used in the chemical bleaching of pulps. One approach is to utilize chemicals that selectively destroy some of the chromophoric groups, but do not materially attack lignin. The other approach is to almost totally remove residual lignin. The selective approach(often referred to as "brightening" to distinguish it from true bleaching) is used for high-yield pulps with significant lignin content. This methodology is limited in many cases to achieving brightness values in the 70's; but under favorable circumstances, values above 80 can be obtained. Although the brightness gains can be substantial, no known method of selective brightening produces a permanent effect; exposure to light and atmospheric oxygen causes the lignin to rapidly discolor, as can be readily observed with old newspapers. 1, record 12, English, - selective%20brightening
