A privacy-preserving model based on differential approach for sensitive data in cloud environment

A large amount of data and applications need to be shared with various parties and stakeholders in the cloud environment for storage, computation, and data utilization. Since a third party operates the cloud platform, owners cannot fully trust this environment. However, it has become a challenge to ensure privacy preservation when sharing data effectively among different parties. This paper proposes a novel model that partitions data into sensitive and non-sensitive parts, injects the noise into sensitive data, and performs classification tasks using k-anonymization, differential privacy, and machine learning approaches. It allows multiple owners to share their data in the cloud environment for various purposes. The model specifies communication protocol among involved multiple untrusted parties to process owners’ data. The proposed model preserves actual data by providing a robust mechanism. The experiments are performed over Heart Disease, Arrhythmia, Hepatitis, Indian-liver-patient, and Framingham datasets for Support Vector Machine, K-Nearest Neighbor, Random Forest, Naive Bayes, and Artificial Neural Network classifiers to compute the efficiency in terms of accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score of the proposed model. The achieved results provide high accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score up to 93.75%, 94.11%, 100%, and 87.99% and improvement up to 16%, 29%, 12%, and 11%, respectively, compared to previous works.

Comparative evaluation of extraction of tetra- and hexa-valent neptunium ions by CMPO in a room temperature ionic liquid

ABSTRACT

Solvent extraction studies were performed to understand the extraction behavior of Np⁴⁺ and NpO₂ ²⁺ from acidic feeds with CMPO (octyl (phenyl)-N,N-diisobutyl carbamoyl methyl phosphine oxide) dissolved in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethane sulfonyl)imide, a water immiscible ionic liquid. Slope analyses on the distribution data revealed the extraction of ML₂ type species, where M = Np⁴⁺ or NpO₂ ²⁺, and L = CMPO. Studies were also carried out with Pu⁴⁺ and UO₂ ²⁺ under identical conditions. The nature of the extracted species was found to vary with the nature of the ionic species.

Modeling of diffusional limitations in styrene acrylonitrile random bulk copolymerization

Diffusional limitations (the gel, glass, and cage effects) are manifested in several bulk free radical homopolymerizations as well as in random copolymerizations. These are associated with decreases of several orders of magnitude of the rate constants of termination, propagation, and initiation (the initiator efficiency), respectively. These phenomena have been modeled earlier using the free volume theory for the diffusivities of primary radicals, macro‐radicals, and monomer molecules, and have been applied to homopolymerizations. In this study, a similar model is developed for random bulk copolymerizations. The parameters of the model are fitted using isothermal data on styrene acrylonitrile random copolymerization carried out in small ampoules. Thereafter, best‐fit global correlations have been developed for this system. This enables the model to be used for studying non‐isothermal copolymerizations, as well as for carrying out optimization of industrial reactors, where non‐isothermal conditions are a norm. POLYM.
