Phase, Microstructure, Thermochromic, and Thermophysical Analyses of Hydrothermally Synthesized W-Doped VO2 Nanopowder by Hamdi Muhyuddin Barra, Soo Kien Chen, Nizam Tamchek, Zainal Abidin Talib, Oon Jew Lee, Kar Ban Tan

“…However, the applicability of VO2 for commercial use is yet to be realized because its phase transition temperature (τc) of ∼68°C is too high for use in buildings. A proven strategy to lower its τc is by elemental doping. Hence, in this study, hydrothermal synthesis of nanostructured VO2 was carried out with the introduction of tungsten (W) as a dopant. …”

Gas permeability, diffusivity, and solubility in polymers: Simulation-experiment data fusion and multi-task machine learning by Brandon K. Phan, Kuan-Hsuan Shen, Rishi Gurnani, Huan Tran, Ryan Lively, Rampi Ramprasad

“…These models can simultaneously predict all three properties for all gases under consideration, with markedly enhanced predictive accuracy, particularly compared to traditional models reliant solely on experimental data for a singular property. This strategy underscores the potential of coupling high-throughput classical simulations with data fusion methodologies to yield state-of-the-art property predictors, especially when experimental data for targeted properties is scarce.…”

Distributed user privacy preserving adjustable personalized QoS prediction model for cloud services by Jianlong XU, Jian LIN, Yusen LI, Zhi XIONG

“…Personalized quality of service （QoS） prediction is crucial for developing high-quality cloud service system.However, the traditional collaborative filtering method, based on centralized training, presents challenges in protecting user privacy.In order to effectively protect user privacy while obtaining highly accurate prediction effect, a distributed user privacy adjustable personalized QoS prediction model for cloud services （DUPPA） was proposed.The model adopted a “server-multi-user” architecture, in which the server coordinated multiple users, handled multiple users’ requests for uploading model gradients and downloading global model, and maintained global model parameters.To further protect user privacy, a user privacy adjustment strategy was proposed to balance privacy and prediction accuracy by adjusting the initialization proportion of local model parameters and gradient upload proportion.In the local model initialization stage, the user calculated the difference matrix between the local model and the global model, and selected the global model parameters corresponding to the larger elements in the difference matrix to initialize the local model parameters.In the gradient upload stage, the user can select some important gradients to upload to the server to meet the privacy protection requirements of different application scenarios.To evaluate the privacy degree of DUPPA, a data reconstruction attack method was proposed for the distributed matrix factorization model gradient sharing scheme.The experimental results show that when DUPPA sets the gradient upload proportion to 0.1 and the local model parameter initialization proportion to 0.5, the predicted MAE and RMSE are reduced by 1.27% and 0.91%, respectively, compared with the traditional centralized matrix factorization model.Besides, when DUPPA sets the gradient upload proportion to 0.1, the privacy degree is 5 times higher than when the gradient upload proportion is 1.And when DUPPA sets the local model parameter initialization proportion to 0.5, the privacy degree is 3.44 times higher than when the local model parameter initialization proportion is 1.…”

The concept and features of staffing of the State Criminal Executive Service and probation bodies in Ukraine by K. Yu. Sverdlin

“…At the same time, some rather important problematic issues on this path have not yet received proper scientific and theoretical study or legislative regulation, in particular, the problem of staffing the State Criminal Executive Service of Ukraine and authorised probation bodies. The current Strategy for Reforming the Penitentiary System of Ukraine describes the problems of staffing in a rather superficial and fragmentary way, in fact, everything is reduced to its purpose and most important tasks. …”
