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.
The engineering properties of the rocks have the most vital role in planning of rock excavation and construction for optimum utilization of earth resources with greater safety and least damage to surroundings. The design and construction of structure is influenced by physico-mechanical properties of rock mass. Young's modulus provides insight about the magnitude and characteristic of the rock mass deformation due to change in stress field. The determination of the Young's modulus in laboratory is very time consuming and costly. Therefore, basic rock properties like point load, density and water absorption have been used to predict the Young's modulus. Point load, density and water absorption can be easily determined in field as well as laboratory and are pertinent properties to characterize a rock mass. The artificial neural network (ANN), fuzzy inference system (FIS) and neuro fuzzy are promising techniques which have proven to be very reliable in recent years. In, present study, neuro fuzzy system is applied to predict the rock Young's modulus to overcome the limitation of ANN and fuzzy logic. Total 85 dataset were used for training the network and 10 dataset for testing and validation of network rules. The network performance indices correlation coefficient, mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), root mean square error (RMSE), and variance account for (VAF) are found to be 0.6643, 7.583, 6.799, and 91.95 respectively, which endow with high performance of predictive neuro-fuzzy system to make use for prediction of complex rock parameter. 相似文献
If the direct feed approach to vitrify the Hanford's tank waste is implemented, the low activity waste (LAW) will comprise higher concentrations of alkali/alkaline-earth sulfates than expected under the previously proposed vitrification scheme. To ensure a minimal impact of higher sulfate concentrations on the downstream operations and overall cost of vitrification, advanced glass formulations with enhanced sulfate loadings (solubility) are needed. While, the current sulfate solubility predictive models have been successful in designing LAW glasses with sulfate loadings <2 wt.%, it will be difficult for them to design glass compositions with enhanced loadings due to our limited understanding of the fundamental science governing these processes. In this pursuit, this article unearths the underlying compositional and structural drivers controlling the sulfate solubility in model LAW glasses. It has been shown that the preferentially removes non-framework cations from the modifier sites in the silicate network, thus, leading to the polymerization in the glass network via the formation of ring-structured borosilicate units. Furthermore, though the sulfate solubility slightly decreases with increasing Li+/Na+ in the glasses, the prefers to be charge compensated by Na+, as it is easier for to break Na–O bonds instead of Li–O bonds. 相似文献
Spatiotemporal deformations of the free charged surface of a thin electrolyte film undergoing a coupled electrokinetic flow composed of an electroosmotic flow (EOF) on a charged solid substrate and an electrophoretic flow (EPF) at its free surface are explored through linear stability analysis and the long-wave nonlinear simulations. The nonlinear evolution equation for the deforming surface is derived by considering both the Maxwell’s stresses and the hydrodynamic stresses. The electric potential across the film is obtained from the Poisson–Boltzmann equation under the Debye–Hückel approximation. The simulations show that at the charged electrolyte–air interface, the applied electric field generates an EPF similar to that of a large charged particle. The EOF near the solid–electrolyte interface and the EPF at the electrolyte–air interface are in the same (or opposite) directions when the zeta potentials at the two interfaces are of the opposite (or same) signs. The linear and nonlinear analyses of the evolution equation predict the presence of travelling waves, which is strongly modulated by the applied electric field and the magnitude/sign of the interface zeta potentials. The time and length scales of the unstable modes reduce as the sign of zeta potential at the two interfaces is varied from being opposite to same and also with the increasing applied electric field. The increased destabilization is caused by a reverse EPF near the free surface when the interfaces bear the same sign of zeta potentials. Flow reversal by EPF at the free surface occurs at smaller zeta potential of the free surface when the film is thicker because of less influence of the EOF arising at the solid–electrolyte boundary. The amplitude of the surface waves is found to be smaller when the unstable waves travel at a faster speed. The films can undergo pseudo-dewetting when the free surface is almost stationary under the combined influences of EPF and EOF. The free surface instability of the coupled EOF and EPF has some interesting implications in the development of micro/nano fluidic devices involving a free surface. 相似文献
Change point detection algorithms have numerous applications in areas of medical condition monitoring, fault detection in industrial processes, human activity analysis, climate change detection, and speech recognition. We consider the problem of change point detection on compositional multivariate data (each sample is a probability mass function), which is a practically important sub-class of general multivariate data. While the problem of change-point detection is well studied in univariate setting, and there are few viable implementations for a general multivariate data, the existing methods do not perform well on compositional data. In this paper, we propose a parametric approach for change point detection in compositional data. Moreover, using simple transformations on data, we extend our approach to handle any general multivariate data. Experimentally, we show that our method performs significantly better on compositional data and is competitive on general data compared to the available state of the art implementations.
The global and competitive business environment has identified the importance of a quick and efficient service towards the customers in the past few decades. Distribution centre (DC) plays an important role in maintaining the uninterrupted flow of goods and materials between the manufacturer and customers. The performance of the supply chain network can be easily improved by an effective or balanced allocation of customers to DCs. Improper or unbalanced allocation of customers can lead to the under- or overutilization of facilities and can further deteriorate the customer service. Performance of the DC can be judged on the basis of its ability to provide the right goods, at the right time and at the right place. The lead time or transit time to deliver the goods to the customers is an important parameter for the measuring the efficiency and effectiveness of a particular DC in a supply chain. In this paper, a multiple ant colony optimization (MACO) approach is discussed in an effort to design a balanced and efficient supply chain network that maintains the best balance of transit time and customers service. The focus of this paper is on the effective allocation of the customers to the DCs with the two-fold objective of minimization of the transit time and degree of imbalance of the DCs. MACO technique is a modified form of the traditional ant colony system, where multiple ant colonies cooperate with each other to find the best possible customer allocation pattern for the DC. The proposed technique shows better performance because of its nature of considering both positive and negative feedback in search of optimum or near-optimum results. The developed algorithm based on the proposed approach is tested on a real practical problem and the results are discussed in this paper. 相似文献
This research compares two time-series interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) methods, namely persistent scatterer SAR interferometry (PS-InSAR) and small baseline subset (SBAS) to retrieve the deformation signal from pixels with different scattering characteristics. These approaches are used to estimate the surface deformation in the L’Aquila region in Central Italy where an earthquake of magnitude Mw 6.3 occurred on 6 April 2009. Fourteen Environmental Satellite (ENVISAT) C-band Advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar (ASAR) images, covering the pre-seismic, co-seismic, and post-seismic period, are used for the study. Both the approaches effectively extract measurement pixels and show a similar deformation pattern in which the north-west and south-east regions with respect to the earthquake epicentre show movement in opposite directions. The analysis has revealed that the PS-InSAR method extracted more number of measurement points (21,103 pixels) as compared to the SBAS method (4886 pixels). A comparison of velocity estimates shows that out of 833 common pixels in both the methods, about 62% (517 pixels) have the mean velocity difference below 3 mm year?1 and nearly 66% pixels have difference below 5 mm year?1. It is concluded that StaMPS-based PS-InSAR method performs better in terms of extracting more number of measurement pixels and in the estimation of mean line of sight (LOS) velocity as compared to SBAS method. 相似文献
This paper looks forward to thoroughly assess zirconium alloy (Zr-2) pressure tubes used in nuclear power reactors for crack like and corrosion type defects. It emphasizes on the use of reliability concept for determining the probability of failure of zirconium alloy pressure tubes based on deuterium ingress. The in depth analysis carried out to calculate the reliability index for the above two problems is based on FORM approach. A steady state corrosion rate is assumed to estimate the growth in the dimensions of corrosion defects. The methodology suggested in this paper is useful for designers and plant engineers in timely detection of the cracks and leaks in the pressure tubes used in nuclear reactors and initiate suitable corrective actions based on their criticality. 相似文献
Dengue fever (DF), dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF), and dengue shock syndrome (DSS) cause serious public health problems, with nearly 390 million people affected and 20,000 deaths per year in tropical and subtropical countries. Despite numerous attempts, no antiviral drug or vaccine is currently available to combat the manifestation. The challenge of discovering an efficient vaccine is enhanced by the surplus presence of efficient vectors and drug resistance from the virus. For centuries, papaya (Carica papaya) extracts have been traditionally used to treat DF, DHF, and DSS. In the present study, we systematically investigated seven compounds isolated from papaya leaf extract with regard to their potential as inhibitors for non-structural (NS) proteins, NS3 and NS5, which play a crucial role in viral RNA replication. The computational tools applied stretched across classical molecular docking, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and SwissADME used to calculate binding affinities; binding free energies; Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, and Excretion (ADME); and drug-likeness properties, thus, identifying Kaempferol, Chlorogenic acid, and Quercetin as potential candidates, with Kaempferol and Quercetin scoring best. Therefore, for the Kaempferol and Quercetin complexes, hybrid quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical (QM/MM) geometry and frequency calculations were performed, followed by the local mode analysis developed in our group to quantify Kaempferol-NS and Quercetin-NS hydrogen bonding. Given the non-toxic nature and the wide availability of the Kaempferol and Quercetin papaya extract in almost all of the susceptible regions, and our results showing high NS3 and NS5 binding affinities and energies, strong hydrogen bonding with both NS3 and NS5, and excellent ADME properties, we suggest Kaempferol and Quercetin as a strong NS3 and NS5 inhibitor to be further investigated in vitro. 相似文献
