In Internet computing, NSD (for "name server daemon") is an open-source Domain Name System (DNS) server. It was developed by NLnet Labs of Amsterdam in cooperation with the RIPE NCC, from scratch as an authoritative name server (i.e., not implementing the recursive caching function by design). The intention of this development is to add variance to the "gene pool" of DNS implementations
used by higher level name servers and thus increase the resilience of DNS against software flaws or exploits.
NSD uses BIND-style zone-files (zone-files used under BIND can usually be used unmodified in NSD, once entered into the NSD configuration).
NSD uses zone information compiled via zonec into a binary database file (nsd.db) which allows fast startup of the NSD name-service daemon, and allows syntax-structural errors in Zone-Files to be flagged at compile-time (before being made available to NSD service itself).
The collection of programs/processes that make-up NSD are designed so that the NSD daemon itself runs as a non-privileged user and can be easily configured to run in a Chroot jail, such that security flaws in the NSD daemon are not so likely to result in system-wide compromise as without such measures.
As of May, 2018, four of the Internet root nameservers are using NSD:
k.root-servers.net was switched to NSD on February 19, 2003.[2]
One of the 2 load-balanced servers for h.root-servers.net (called "H1", "H2") was switched to NSD, and now there are 3 servers all running NSD (called "H1", "H2", "H3").[3]
l.root-servers.net switched to NSD[4] on February 6, 2007[citation needed].
d.root-servers.net was switched to NSD in May 2018.[5]
Several other TLDs use NSD for part of their servers.

Benefits of Two Mitigation Strategies for Container Vessels: Cleaner Engines and Cleaner Fuels.
Khan MY, Giordano M, Gutierrez J, Welch WA, Asa-Awuku A, Miller JW, Cocker D.AbstractEmissions from ocean going vessels (OGVs) are a significant health concern for people near port communities. This paper reports the emission benefits for two mitigation strategies, cleaner engines and cleaner fuels, for a 2010 container vessel. In-use emissions were measured following International Organization for Standardization (ISO) protocols. The overall in-use nitrogen oxide (NOx) emission factor was 16.1±0.1 gkW-1h-1, lower than the Tier 1 certification (17 gkW-1h-1) and significantly lower than the benchmark value of 18.7 gkW-1h-1 commonly used for estimating emission inventories. The in-use particulate matter (PM2.5) emission was 1.42±0.04 gkW-1h-1 for heavy fuel oil (HFO) containing 2.51 wt % sulfur. Unimodal (~30 nm) and bi-modal (~35 nm; ~75 nm) particle number size distributions (NSDs) were observed when the vessel operated on marine gas oil (MGO) and HFO, respectively. First-time emission measurements during fuel switching (required 24 nautical miles from coastline) showed that concentrations of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and particle NSD took ~55 minutes to reach steady-state when switching from MGO to HFO and ~84 minutes in the opposite direction. Therefore, if OGVs commence fuel change at the regulated boundary, then vessels can travel up to 90% of the distance to the port before steady state values are re-established. The transient behavior follows a classic, non-linear mixing function driven by the amount of fuel in day tank and the fuel consumption rate. Hence, to achieve the maximum benefits from a fuel change regulation, fuel switch boundary should be further increased to provide the intended benefits for the people living near the ports.
