The objectives of project control systems go beyond documentation to recognition of problems and evaluation of their causes. Through the use of broad information systems, a construction manager today is able to assemble a wide variety of data about his projects or programs. Retrieval, analysis and interpretation of the meaning of these data, however, usually requires the user to have detailed k...

Flavonoids are polyphenolic compounds that exist ubiquitously in foods of plant origin. Flavonoids show various interesting biological activities, such as removal of oxygen radical, anti-cancer action, improvement of high blood pressure, antibacterial, antibiotic and anti-allergy actions. So far, over 4000 structurally unique flavonoids have been isolated from plant sources. Recently, databases...

An important and rapidly developing area of database application is that of Criminal Intelligence Analysis and similar investigatory work. Criminal Intelligence Analysis is not well supported by existing database technology. The area is characterised by small specialist software houses that develop their products pragmatically by responding to the needs of their user communities. This work coul...

Automatic Stabilizers, Economic Crisis and Income Distribution in Europe This paper investigates to what extent the tax and transfer systems in Europe protect households at different income levels against losses in current income caused by economic downturns like the present financial crisis. We use a multi country micro simulation model to analyse how shocks on market income and employment are...

We present data collection and recognition experiment focused on multi-view face recognition/descriptor. Many face databases and face recognition systems have been constructed and experimented in terms of various illumination, time, poses, or expressions. However none of databases yet satisfies a large variation of poses to study systematic 3D human face information, which results unsatisfactor...

The database of the China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) Accelerator is designed to store machine parameters, magnet measurement data, survey and alignment data, control system configuration data, equipment history data, electronic logbook, and so on. It will also provide project management quality assurance, error impact analysis, and assembly assistance including sorting. This paper introdu...

A binary matrix has the Consecutive Ones Property (C1P) if there exists a permutation of its columns (i.e. a sequence of column swappings) such that in the resulting matrix the 1s are consecutive in every row. A Minimal Conflicting Set (MCS) of rows is a set of rows R that does not have the C1P, but such that any proper subset of R has the C1P. In [5], Chauve et al. gave a O(∆m(n+m+ e)) time al...

We propose a construction of a single database private information retrieval system using fully homomorphic encryption. The construction results in a system with Ω(log2 n) communication complexity, and polylogarithmic computational overhead, in the size of the database. An improved construction is also proposed, which reduces the client’s communication overhead, and leaves open the possibility ...
