Towards Privacy-Aware and Trustworthy Data Sharing Using Blockchain for Edge Intelligence by Youyang Qu, Lichuan Ma, Wenjie Ye, Xuemeng Zhai, Shui Yu, Yunfeng Li, David Smith

“…To avoid linkage attacks in personalized differential privacy, we design a noise correlation decoupling mechanism using a Markov stochastic process. In addition, we build the community model on a blockchain, which can mitigate the risk of poisoning attacks during differentially private data transmission over SHNs. …”

The damage evolution law and life prediction of mortar under Freeze-thaw cycles and sulfate corrosion based on entropy weight method by Yizheng Jiang, Yuang Cui, Yi Song, Xuepeng Zhang

“…Based on the Wiener stochastic process damage model and field data, it is predicted that the service life of mortar containing 10 % silica fume increases most notably to 36.6 years, representing a relative improvement of 45.8 % compared to mortar without silica fume. …”

The application of biochar and organic fertilizer substitution regulates the diversities of habitat specialist bacterial communities within soil aggregates in proso millet farmland by Lixin Tian, Yawei Wang, Doudou Jin, Yulong Zhou, Bauyrzhan Mukhamed, Dan Liu, Baili Feng

“…Null-model analysis showed that biochar and fertilizer regimes rarely affected the assembly processes of the bacterial meta-community and sub-community within bulk soil and three aggregates, mainly determined by stochastic process. These observations offer a theoretical basis for understanding the intrinsic relationships between bacterial microbial communities and soil aggregates regulated by biochar and fertilization regimes in the semi-arid region.…”
