面向数值型敏感属性的分级l-多样性模型

近年来,数据发布隐私保护问题受到了广泛关注,相继提出了多种隐私保护匿名模型.l-多样性模型是其中保护个体隐私的有效方法,但现有的l-多样性模型只适合处理分类型敏感属性,不适合处理数值型敏感属性.为此,提出面向数值型敏感属性的分级l-多样性模型,包括分级相异l-多样性、分级信息熵l-多样性和分级递归(c,l)-多样性.所提出的模型首先将数值型敏感属性域分级,再基于分级信息实现数值型敏感属性的l-多样性.设计了实现这些模型的l-Incognito算法.并且从匿名表的多样性角度进行了比较,实验表明分级l-多样性表比未分级的l-多样性表具有更高的多样度,因此具有更强的抵制同质性攻击和背景知识攻击的能力.

Phase change materials in the ternary system NH4Cl+CaCl2+H2O

Solubility isotherms of the ternary system (NH₄Cl+CaCl₂+H₂O) were elaborately determined at T= (273.15 and 298.15) K by using the isothermal method. In the equilibrium phase diagram, there are two solubility branches corresponding to the solid phases CaCl₂⋅6H₂O and NH₄Cl. Invariant point compositions are 36.32 wt% CaCl₂ and 3.4 wt% NH₄Cl at 273.15 K, and 45.86 wt% CaCl₂ and 5.22 wt% NH₄Cl at 298.15 K. A Pitzer-Simonson-Clegg thermodynamic model was applied to represent the thermodynamic properties of this ternary system and to construct a partial phase diagram of the ternary system at temperatures between (273.15 and 323.15) K. It was found in the predicted solubility phase diagram that the double salt 2NH₄Cl⋅CaCl₂⋅3H₂O, found by other authors at (323.1 and 348.1) K, will disappear at temperatures below 298.15 K. Besides, it was found that there are two peritectic points in the ternary system with peritectic temperatures at 299.65 K and 298.15 K, and the former peritectic point falls just on the line between the composition points of NH₄Cl and CaCl₂⋅6H₂O. According to phase rule, a solution made of this point will begin to crystallize at 299.65 K and end at 298 K and therefore can be acted as a “pseudo eutectic” phase change material (PCM). A heat storing and releasing experiment of 50 grams of the PCM was carried out, obtaining a satisfying result.     

Product structure (BOM)-based product similarity measures using orthogonal procrustes approach

In geometry, two configurations are called similar if they can be brought to a complete match by rigid motions and dilations. In the simplest case, product designs X and Y have the same dimensionality and same number of points which can be brought into a one to one correspondence by substantive considerations. Under orthogonal transformations, product design Y can only be rotated and reflected in order to approximate product design X. As for the “as close as possible” or “relatively close” criterion, a reasonable definition would be to measure the distances between corresponding points, square these values, and add them to obtain the sum-of-squares criterion L. In this paper, a product structure (BOM)-based product similarity measures using orthogonal procrustes approach is proposed. A structural product is first transformed into bill of materials (BOM), the structural similarity measurement between a product query and target product is calculated and evaluated using orthogonal procrustes approach. The results show that the proposed product structure similarity measure method can help companies find desired product information based on BOM feature.     

Incorporating haptic feedback in simulation for learning physics

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of a haptic augmented simulation in learning physics. The results indicate that haptic augmented simulations, both the force and kinesthetic and the purely kinesthetic simulations, were more effective than the equivalent non-haptic simulation in providing perceptual experiences and helping elementary students create multimodal representations of the movements of gears. However, in most cases, force feedback was needed to construct a fully loaded multimodal representation that helps students to comprehend later instruction with less sensory modalities. In addition, the force and kinesthetic simulation was effective in helping to transfer knowledge to new learning situations. These findings suggest that it is important to help elementary students make a solid cognitive grounding with the use of a perceptual anchor.     

Region-based parallelization of irregular reductions on explicitly managed memory hierarchies

Multicore architectures are evolving with the promise of extreme performance for the classes of applications that require high performance and large bandwidth of memory. Irregular reduction is one of important computation patterns for many complex scientific applications, and it typically requires high performance and large bandwidth of memory. In this article, we propose region-based parallelization techniques for irregular reductions on multicore architectures with explicitly managed memory hierarchies. Managing memory hierarchy in software requires a lot of programming efforts and tends to be error-prone. The difficulties are even worse for applications with irregular data access patterns. To relieve the burden of memory management from programmers, we develop abstractions, particularly targeted to irregular reduction, for structuring parallel tasks, mapping the parallel tasks to processing units and scheduling data transfers between the memory hierarchies. Our framework employs iteration reordering based on regions of data along with dynamic scheduling of parallel tasks. We experimentally evaluate the effectiveness of our techniques for irregular reduction kernels on the Cell processor embedded in a Sony PlayStation3. Experimental results show the speedups of 8 to 14 on the six available SPEs.
