Minimum-distance controlled tabular adjustment methods (CTA), an its variants, are considered an emerging perturbative approach for tabular data protection. Given a table to be protected, the purpose of CTA is to find the closest table that guarantees protection levels for the sensitive cells. We consider the most general CTA formulation which includes binary variables, thus providing protected...

The following research presents the numerical and experimental results obtained on a reduced scale steel model of a medium-rise building structure dynamically protected with energy dissipaters. The steel-steel friction dissipates energy as the structure undergoes interstory drifts. A preliminary numerical analysis is performed to determine the best position of the friction dampers in the longit...

Abstract Systemic therapy for metastatic prostate cancer has radically changed in the last 10 years with the introduction of several novel agents that have shown significant improvements in progression free and overall survival (see table 1). These have largely been studied in metastatic castrate-refractory prostate cancer (mCRPC) and have prolonged survival but in each case by less than 6 mont...

The views expressed in this paper are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the policies of Statistics Netherlands. This paper describes a heuristic approach to find suppression patterns in tables that exhibit a hierarchical structure in at least one of the explanatory variables. The hierarchical structure implies that there exist (many) sub-totals, i.e., that (many) sub-tables can...

This paper presents a framework for low-contrast texture fault processing based on 2D-Histogram lookup. 2D-Histogram lookup is a variant of 2D-Lookup operation. For 2D-Lookup, in two differently processed versions of the same image, grayvalue pairs from the same location in both images are replaced by the corresponding entry in a given two-dimensional matrix. The two operations and the matrix h...

Protected-module architectures (PMAs) have been proposed to provide strong isolation guarantees, even on top of a compromised system. Unfortunately, Intel SGX – the only publicly available highend PMA – has been shown to only provide limited isolation. An attacker controlling the untrusted page tables, can learn enclave secrets by observing its page access patterns. Fortifying existing protecte...

The purpose of the field of statistical disclosure control is to avoid that no confidential information can be derived from statistical data released by, mainly, national statistical agencies. Controlled tabular adjustment (CTA) is an emerging technique for the protection of statistical tabular data. Given a table to be protected, CTA looks for the closest safe table. In this work we focus on C...

Because it is hard to find and to clear cockhorse and virus developed by root kit technology, antivirus soft at present is hard to clear virus in the system, which make the system in dangers status of hazard. So, designing a speedy clear Trojan and virus makes by root kit is very important. The article.is based on SDK, adopting the technology.of kernel to design the Clairvoyant systemic safety ...

The Abshar protected area with 3639 ha and an altitude ranging from 400-855 m a.s.l. is one of the forest areas that due to its topography is covered by Carpinus betulus, Parrotia persica and Diospyros lotus speices. The floristic study of this area is long with sampling plots. The floristic-physiognomic investigation showed that flora of this region included 99 plant species which belonged to ...
