Broker bureaucracies: The subsidiary offices of the digitalizing state by Fenna Imara Hoefsloot, Neha Gupta, Dennis Mbugua Muthama, José de Jesús Flores Durán

“…Paying attention to the geographies of information flows shows how digitalization unfolds in both the offices of the state as well as in subsidiary, hybrid spaces and through acts of brokerage. We argue that the paper-filled offices of the print shops and cybercafés are the sites where a potentially different range of alternative digital futures are exposed. …”

Impact of frequent ARID1A mutations on protein stability provides insights into cancer pathogenesis by Rajen K. Goutam, Gangtong Huang, Exequiel Medina, Feng Ding, William J. Edenfield, Hugo Sanabria

“…We analyzed five frequent missense mutations R1020S, M1022K, K1047Q, G1063V, and A1089T identified in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) to assess their effects on the stability of the ARID domain using a hybrid experimental and computational approach. By combining computational stability from web server tools, the structural dynamics from replica exchange discrete molecular simulation (rexDMD), and thermal and chemical denaturation experiments, we found that the R1020S mutation severely decreases structural stability, making it the most impactful, while M1022K has minimal effect, and others lie in between. …”

Effect of bleaching materials and whitening mouth wash on surface roughness of two types of composite resin materials nanohybrid and nanofill: an In‐vitro Study by Manal M. Taher, Nsar M. Aziz, Intesar S. Toma

“…Results: Whiting mouth wash thtcontaing peroxide bleaching agents showed a significant differences for the two composite materials(nano hybrid and nano filled). While for the another bleaching systems(hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide) there is no significant differences Conclusion: Whiting mouth wash showed more surface roughness for the two materials when compared with the another bleaching materials and Increased surface roughness of composites as a result of bleaching appears to be dependent on the bleaching agent used as well as the composite material types. …”

Location privacy protection method based on lightweight K-anonymity incremental nearest neighbor algorithm by Saite CHEN, Weihai LI, Yuanzhi YAO, Nenghai YU

“…The use of location-based service brings convenience to people’s daily lives, but it also raises concerns about users’ location privacy.In the k-nearest neighbor query problem, constructing K-anonymizing spatial regions is a method used to protects users’ location privacy, but it results in a large waste of communication overhead.The SpaceTwist scheme is an alternative method that uses an anchor point instead of the real location to complete the k-nearest neighbor query,which is simple to implement and has less waste of communication overhead.However,it cannot guarantee K-anonymous security, and the specific selection method of the anchor point is not provided.To address these shortcomings in SpaceTwist, some schemes calculate the user’s K-anonymity group by introducing a trusted anonymous server or using the way of user collaboration, and then enhance the end condition of the query algorithm to achieve K-anonymity security.Other schemes propose the anchor point optimization method based on the approximate distribution of interest points, which can further reduce the average communication overhead.A lightweight K-anonymity incremental nearest neighbor (LKINN) location privacy protection algorithm was proposed to improve SpaceTwist.LKINN used convex hull mathematical tool to calculate the key points of K-anonymity group, and proposed an anchor selection method based on it, achieving K-anonymity security with low computational and communication costs.LKINN was based on a hybrid location privacy protection architecture, making only semi-trusted security assumptions for all members of the system, which had lax security assumptions compared to some existing research schemes.Simulation results show that LKINN can prevent semi-trusted users from stealing the location privacy of normal users and has smaller query response time and communication overhead compare to some existing schemes.…”
