Secure sensitive data deduplication schemes based on deterministic/probabilistic proof of file ownership by Yue CHEN, Chao-ling LI, Ju-long LAN, Kai-chun JIN, Zhong-hui WANG

“…To solve the difficult problems of sensitive data deduplication in cloud storage,such as detection and PoW (proofs of ownership) of the duplicated ciphertext,the attacks aiming at data sensitivity,etc,a Merkle hash tree based scheme called MHT-Dedup and a homomorphic MAC based scheme called hMAC-Dedup were proposed.Both schemes provided PoW of the ciphertext file to find duplicated files on cross-user file level and check the hash of block plaintext to find duplicated blocks on local block-level,which avoided the security flaws of the hash-as-a-proof method in the cross-user file-level client-side duplication detection.MHT-Dedup provided the deterministic PoW of file with an authen-ticating binary tree generated from the tags of encrypted blocks,which had lower computing and transferring cost,and hMAC-Dedup provided the probabilistic PoW of file by verifying some sampled blocks and their homomorphic MAC tags,which had lower additional storage cost.Analyses and comparisons show that proposed schemes are preferable in many as-pects such as supporting secure two-level client-side sensitive data deduplication and resisting to brute force attack to blocks.…”

Lack of Short-Term Effectiveness of Rotating Treadmill Training on Turning in People with Mild-to-Moderate Parkinson's Disease and Healthy Older Adults: A Randomized, Controlled St... by Marie E. McNeely, Gammon M. Earhart

“…Fast as possible gait velocity, timed-up-and-go time, 180∘ turn duration, and steps to turn 180∘ were impaired in PD compared to controls (𝑃<0.05) and did not improve following either intervention (𝑃>0.05). Preferred pace gait velocity and timing of yaw rotation onset of body segments (head, trunk, pelvis) during 180∘ turns were not different in PD (𝑃>0.05) and did not change following either intervention. …”

RESEARCH ON CUTTING VIBRATION OF HIGH SPEED MILLING HIGH HARDNESS HARDENED STEEL WITH COATED TOOLS by XIE YingXing, WANG ChengYong

“…The results showed that when the hardness of hardened steel increased,the friction between the rake face of the coated tool and the hardened steel increased,the friction resistance in the feed direction increased,and the amplitude of the vibration signal increased; the vibration signals generated by Ti Al N and Al Cr N coated tools were smaller than those of Ti Si N and Cr Si N coated tools; the addition of Al element in the coating design has a positive effect on suppressing and reducing cutting vibration of hardened steel; the changes of cutting parameters had different effects on the cutting vibration in the feed direction of the cutting tool; in order to obtain a lower cutting vibration amplitude and higher cutting efficiency,the cutting parameter value should be selected in preference to minimize cutting vibration.…”

Translational Approach to Behavioral Learning: Lessons from Cerebellar Plasticity by Guy Cheron, Bernard Dan, Javier Márquez-Ruiz

“…For each of these experimental conditions, we have critically revisited the chain of causalities linking together neural circuits, neural signals, and plasticity mechanisms, giving preference to behaving or alert animal physiology. Namely, recent experimental approaches mixing neural units and local field potentials recordings have demonstrated a spike timing dependent plasticity by which the cerebellum remains at a strategic crossroad for deciphering fundamental and translational mechanisms from cellular to network levels.…”
