Scenario-aware access control model by Dibin SHAN, Xuehui DU, Wenjuan WANG, Na WANG, Aodi LIU

“…Dynamic access control model is the theoretical basis for constructing a dynamic access control system for big data.However, most existing access control models can only fulfill dynamic access control in a single scenario and are unable to adapt to access control in multiple types of dynamic scenarios.These scenarios include changes in the contextual environment of big data, changes in entity relationships, and changes in the state of objects.To address these issues, an analysis was conducted based on the research of existing access control models and the dynamic factors of big data.Subsequently, scenario-aware access control (SAAC) model was proposed, which was based on dynamic factor conversion and scenario unified modeling.All types of dynamic factors were converted into basic elements such as attributes and relationships.Then, scene information was incorporated to model the various types of constituent elements in a unified manner.A big data dynamic access control model was constructed based on scene information to support multi-type dynamic factors and extended dynamic factors.The working framework of the SAAC model was designed, and the SAAC rule learning algorithm and SAAC rule execution algorithm were proposed corresponding to the workflow of the framework.This enabled the automatic learning of access control rules and dynamic access control decision-making.The security of the proposed model was analyzed and verified by introducing the non-transitive non-interference theory.To validate the effectiveness of the access control policy mining method of the proposed model, experimental comparisons were conducted between the SAAC model and baseline models such as ABAC-L, PBAC-X, DTRM, and FB-CAAC using four datasets.The experimental results demonstrate that the SAAC model and its strategy mining method outperforms the baseline models in terms of metrics such as area under the curve AUC, monotonicity, and steepness of the ROC curve.This verification confirms that the proposed model can support multiple types of dynamic factors and dynamic factor extensions, and that the combined effect of the access control rules obtained from its mining algorithm is relatively high.…”

Hydration of cement binders with mineral additives based on clay and carbonate rocks by V. V. Volodin, O. V. Tarakanov, T. A. Nizina, V. M. Kyashkin, A. S. Balykov

“…It was established that the use of these mineral additives makes it possible to increase the degree of hydration of Portland cement and change the phase composition of the cement stone in a targeted manner.Conclusions. The data obtained indicate the prospects and relevance of the direction for the development of concretes with modifying additives based on thermally activated polymineral clays and carbonate rocks, which makes it possible to expand the range of modified cement composites produced today due to more complete use of the local mineral resource base.…”

Design, Synthesis, and In Vitro Kinetics Study of Atenolol Prodrugs for the Use in Aqueous Formulations by Rafik Karaman, Alaa Qtait, Khulod Khayyat Dajani, Saleh Abu Lafi

“…In addition, a linear correlation of the calculated and experimental rate values has drawn credible basis for designing atenolol prodrugs that are bitterless, are stable in neutral aqueous solutions, and have the potential to release the parent drug in a sustained release manner. For example, based on the calculated B3LYP/6-31 G (d,p) rates, the predicted t1/2 (a time needed for 50% of the prodrug to be converted into drug) values for atenolol prodrugs ProD 1-ProD 2 at pH 2 were 65.3 hours (6.3 hours as calculated by GGA: MPW1K) and 11.8 minutes, respectively. …”
