By the events in the past years, the integration of data protection mechanisms into information systems becomes a central research problem again. In this poster, we show how query rewriting can be used to maintain privacy of users in smart (or assistive) environments. We developed a privacy respecting query processing and a vertical fragmentation of queries, processing maximal parts of the quer...

Web-based information systems play an important role in today’s practice of data-analysis and reporting in the field of environmental protection. While these systems solved some technical problems concerning the integration and visualization of information they show some problems even harder to handle. These problems are concerned with content and organization of the information within the info...

ank supervisors need timely and reliable information about the financial condition and risk profile of banks in order to conduct effective supervision. Although such information can be obtained in part from regulatory reports and public disclosures, a key source is the on-site bank examination. Bank examinations enable supervisors to confirm the accuracy of information in regulatory reports. Mo...

With different interests at stake, conservation is at the centre of power relations and negotiations over how best to manage a landscape, and is thus a potential source of conflicts, not only about how to manage the land, but also more importantly about what is just. In 2008 Sweden's National Park Plan, the creation of a national park in the area of Vålådalen-Sylarna-Helags in the county of Jäm...

Figure 1 illustrates some filter banks learned on the DRIVE dataset. In particular, it shows how an example learned filter bank can be replaced by its rank-1 approximation obtained using the SVD decomposition (SEP-SVD). Figure 2 shows examples of 3D filter banks learned on the OPF dataset. In Figure 3 the central slice of the filter banks are given for a better comparison. We report the detaile...

The financial crisis of 2007–2008 revealed many inadequacies in the pre-crisis approach to financial stability regulation. In the United States, Congress responded by enacting the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The Act calls for government agencies to make numerous rules regulating activities that have the potential to harm financial stability, but there has been no ...

0 Third, a multimedia object may consist of multiple components: audio, video and text. Synchronization of these multiple streams are of necessity. We present techniques for managing disks as a bufer .for the tertiary storuge ofmidtimedia servers. A unified disk space is used to not only cache fiequently referenced objects, but also to provide staging buffers,foiplaying back objects. A new stag...

Main control room (MCR) is an important site of the nuclear power plant (NPP), and the environmental condition in MCR shall be benefit to operators performing their task effectively and comfortably. With the development of HFE (human factor engineering), there is more attention to environment design of MCR. the MCR environment designmainly include noise reduction, illumination, air condition, i...
