Dynamic privacy measurement model and evaluation system for mobile edge crowdsensing by Mingfeng ZHAO, Chen LEI, Yang ZHONG, Jinbo XIONG

“…To tackle the problems of users not having intuitive cognition of the dynamic privacy changes contained in their sensing data in mobile edge crowdsensing (MECS) and lack of personalized privacy risk warning values in the data uploading stage, a dynamic privacy measurement (DPM) model was proposed.A structured representation of data obtained by a user participating in a sensing task was introduced and was transformed it into a numerical matrix.Then privacy attribute preference and timeliness were presented to quantify the dynamic privacy changes of data.With this, personalized privacy thresholds of users based on the numerical matrix were reasonably calculated.Finally, differential privacy processing was performed on the numerical matrix, and a model evaluation system was designed for the proposed model.The simulation results show that the DPM model was effective and practical.According to the given example, a data utility of approximately 0.7 can be achieved, and the degree of privacy protection can be significantly improved as the noise level increases, adapting to the MECS of IoT.…”

Research on space-air-ground integrated deterministic networking by Guoyu PENG, Shuo WANG, Guizhen LI, Yuhan WEN, Tao HUANG

“…As the Internet evolves from a consumer network to a productive network, emerging industry applications necessitate differentiated and deterministic service quality assurance and communication capabilities that span all dimensions of time and space.How to realize the heterogeneous compatibility of ubiquitous multi-domain networks and support deterministic transmission between nodes in space-air-ground integrated network (SAGIN) has become a significant research problem.Firstly, the emerging full-domain 6G scenarios along with their requirements for deterministic services were analyzed.Then, the hierarchical space-air-ground integrated deterministic networking architecture, including global cooperative network management and control layer, multi-domain dynamic deterministic fusion layer, and ubiquitous heterogeneous deterministic networking layer, was proposed, and key technologies for fixed-mobile-satellite fusion networks in relevant scenarios were studied.Finally, the challenges and development trend of the space-air-ground integrated deterministic networking were presented.…”

Encoding Cryptic Crossword Clues with TEI by Martin Holmes

“…Many cryptic clues depend for their effect on confusing the solver through the use of overlapping syntactic and semantic hierarchies, so they serve as evidence that overlapping hierarchies are not merely an unfortunate limitation afflicting XML languages but are psychologically and linguistically real. Finally, I present a TEI schema and an approach to encoding the components of cryptic crossword clues in a way that enables algorithmic analysis of trends, features, and clue types, with a view to creating a historical corpus of encoded clues which will illuminate the evolution of the tradition.…”

Identification and Prioritization of “Black Spots” without Using Accident Information by Mahmoudreza Keymanesh, Hasan Ziari, Samira Roudini, Ali Nasrollahtabar Ahangar

“…In each section, potentially hazardous locations were identified and some questionnaires were prepared, which were filled by 5 road traffic experts familiar with the route; then the collected data were analyzed by Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) using Expert Choice Software and the black spots were identified and prioritized. Finally, these black spots were compared with the black spots that had been obtained by traffic police based on accident data.…”

Experimental Investigation on the Fracture Behaviour of Natural Stones Exposed to Monotonic and Cyclic Loading by Andrea Spagnoli, David Cendon Franco, Antonio D’Angelo

“…Moreover, cyclic three-point bending tests are conducted to determine the propagation rate of nominally Mode-I fatigue cracks. Finally, the fatigue behaviour of the marble is studied through a cohesive crack model, in which the direct tensile strength of the material is determined by a Brazilian test, and the behaviour is calibrated by means of a suitable FE model. …”

Comment comprendre les « communs » : Elinor Ostrom, la propriété et la nouvelle économie institutionnelle by Olivier Weinstein

“…To do this, we first consider her original and important analysis of rules and norms, and its conception of economic behavior, then we explore her theory of property rights and of the conditions of selection of forms of property and institutions, with the prospect of a confrontation with the idea of a “generalized Coase theorem”. This leads us, finally, to questioning Elinor Ostrom’s views on institutions and the commons, and possible ways to go beyond these conceptions.…”

Community Based Tourism: A Global South Perspective by Claudio Milano, Jordi Gascón

“…The paper identifies three key variables contributing to this dual perspective: a) the Context Variable, which displays how the outcomes of CBT projects m can vary based on the specific circumstances in which they are implemented; b) the Methodological Variable, which underlines the importance of developing long-term and longitudinal fieldwork to avoid a biased analysis based on the short-term observations; c) the Paradigm Variable which takes into account that the researcher's theoretical framework inevitably shapes their focus, potentially emphasising certain outcomes over others. Finally, the paper draws on empirical evidence based on a 30-year longitudinal ethnographic study conducted on Amantaní island (Lake Titicaca, Peruvian Andes).…”

Differential privacy protection scheme based on edge betweenness model by Haiping HUANG, Kai WANG, Xiong TANG, Dongjun ZHANG

“…With the continuous development of social network application,user’s personal social data is so sensitive that the problem of privacy protection needs to be solved urgently.In order to reduce the network data sensitivity,a differential privacy protection scheme BCPA based on edge betweenness model was proposed.The 2K sequence corresponding to the graph structure based on the dK model was captured,and 2K sequences based on the edge betweenness centrality were reordered.According to the result of reordering,the 2K sequence was grouped into several sub-sequences,and each sub-sequence was respectively added with noise by a dK perturbation algorithm.Finally,a social network graph satisfying differential privacy was generated according to the new 2K sequences after integration.Based on the real datasets,the scheme was compared with the classical schemes through simulation experiments.The results demonstrate that it improves the accuracy and usability of data while ensuring desired privacy protection level.…”
