T-Closeness Slicing: A New Privacy-Preserving Approach for Transactional Data Publishing
Authors: Wang Mingzheng , Jiang Zhengrui , Zhang Yu , Yang Haifang 
Published: September 2018

Privacy-preserving data publishing has received much attention in recent years. Prior studies have developed various algorithms such as generalization, anatomy, and L-diversity slicing to protect individuals’ privacy when transactional data are published for public use. These existing algorithms, however, all have certain limitations. For instance, generalization protects identity privacy well but loses a considerable amount of information. Anatomy prevents attribute disclosure and lowers information loss, but fails to protect membership privacy. The more recent probability L-diversity slicing algorithm overcomes some shortcomings of generalization and anatomy, but cannot shield data from more subtle types of attacks such as skewness attack and similarity attack. To meet the demand of data owners with high privacy-preserving requirement, this study develops a novel method named t-closeness slicing (TCS) to better protect transactional data against various attacks. The time complexity of TCS is log-linear, hence the algorithm scales well with large data. We conduct experiments using three transactional data sets and find that TCS not only effectively protects membership privacy, identity privacy, and attribute privacy, but also preserves better data utility than benchmarking algorithms.The online supplement is available at https://doi.org/10.1287/ijoc.2017.0791 .

Authors: ANEV Damyan , HARADA Masaaki , YANKOV Nikolay 
Published: September 2018

For lengths $64$ and $66$,
we construct six and seven extremal singly even self-dual
codes with weight enumerators for which no extremal
singly even self-dual codes were previously known to exist, respectively.
We also construct new $40$ inequivalent
extremal doubly even self-dual $[64,32,12]$ codes
with covering radius $12$ meeting the Delsarte bound.
These new codes are constructed by considering
four-circulant codes along with their neighbors and shadows.

Published: September 2018

AbstractThe purpose of this study was to examine the promise and feasibility of a newly developed curriculum to teach early literacy skills to students with intellectual disability (ID) and students with low IQs. The curriculum texts were written to include familiar settings, high frequency words, natural syntax, and cumulative practice. A single-case design was used with multiple baseline across levels of instruction and included eight participants who had IQs spanning from 40 to 63. The study was conducted across one academic year in two private schools for students with special needs. Results showed that all eight students demonstrated significant growth on proximal measures of taught words, as well as growth on at least some curriculum-based distal measures. Additionally, the program was demonstrated to be feasible; the teachers implemented the intervention with high degrees of fidelity and expressed satisfaction with the effectiveness and practicality of the program.
UPLC-MS/MS Analysis of Urinary Free Oligosaccharides for Lysosomal Storage Diseases: Diagnosis and Potential Treatment Monitoring
Authors: Huang Rongrong , Cathey Sara , Pollard Laura , Wood Tim 
Published: September 2018

Abstract

BACKGROUND
The glycoproteinoses are a subgroup of lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs) resulting from impaired degradation of N-linked oligosaccharide side chains of glycoproteins, which are commonly screened by detecting the accumulated free oligosaccharides (FOSs) in urine via thin layer chromatography (TLC). The traditional TLC method suffers from limited analytical sensitivity and specificity and lacks quantification capability. Therefore, we developed an analytically sensitive and relatively specific assay using ultraperformance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) for urinary FOS analysis and validated its use for urine screening of glycoproteinoses and other LSDs.

METHODS
Urine volumes equivalent to 30 μg of creatinine were derivatized with butyl-4-aminobenzoate and then purified through a solid-phase extraction cartridge. A 7-min UPLC-MS/MS analysis was performed on a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer using an amide column for separation of derivatized FOS. Urine samples from &gt;100 unaffected controls and 37 patients with various LSDs were studied.

RESULTS
Relative quantification was conducted on 7 selected FOSs using a single internal standard, which allowed the identification of patients with 1 of 8 different LSDs: aspartylglucosaminuria, α-fucosidosis, α-mannosidosis, β-mannosidosis, β-galactosidase deficiency, Sandhoff disease, sialidosis, and galactosialidosis. Patients treated with hematopoietic stem cell transplant show decreased FOS responses compared with untreated patients.

CONCLUSIONS
This UPLC-MS/MS assay offers a valuable tool for screening of glycoproteinoses and other LSDs, with potential use for future treatment monitoring.

Published: September 2018

The embryogenesis (SE) has important role for genetic engineering of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz). However, the success of SE induction depend on plant growth regulator s (PGR)s and treatment enriched in induction media. This experiment tried to induce callus formation of cassava from several in vitro explants: immature leaf, apical bud, and internode; and to develop somatic embryogenesis of cassava in several media enriched with tyrosine and copper sulphate (CuSO4) added into media enrich with picloram as treatment. Different response of explants source to callus induction treatment from those three varieties in callus induction as well as friable callus formation were found in this experiment. The best medium to induce varied with variety; MS media supplemented 12 mg/L picloram + 0.5 mg/L CuSO4 was the best for “Adira 4” and half MS and half GD media supplemented 12 mg/L picloram + 100 mg/L tyrosine for “Malang 6”. All treatments resulted somatic embryo which developed indirectly and in morphologically normal somatic embryos
PREVALENCE OF OSTEOARTHRITIS IN RUSSIA: REGIONAL ASPECTS OF TRENDS IN STATISTICAL PARAMETERS DURING 2011–2016
Authors: Kabalyk M. A. 
Published: September 2018

Recent demographic changes caused by labor migration and by the larger number of retirement-aged people, as well as unstable economic conditions are the reason for analyzing the incidence of osteoarthritis (OA) in the adult population of the Russian Federation in the light of changing socioeconomic factors. Objective: to analyze the incidence of OA in the regions of the Russian Federation in terms of key socioeconomic factors. Material and methods. Trends in OA prevalence and incidence were retrospectively analyzed using the data of annual statistical reports of the Ministry of Health of Russia (Form No. 12) in the period 2011–2016. The above parameters were studied among three population cohorts: adult, able-bodied, and retirement-aged (pensioners) people. Data on the execution of consolidated budgets of the regions of the Russian Federation, territorial compulsory health insurance funds (TCHIFs) were analyzed to identify substantial socioeconomic factors influencing the trends in statistical parameters. The findings were subjected to a comparative analysis of these parameters for Russia as a whole, 85 regions, and 8 federal districts. Results and discussion. During the period from 2011 to 2016, the prevalence of OA in Russia increased from 32.2 per 1,000 population in 2011 to 35.7 in 2016. The highest prevalence of OA is observed among the retirement-aged population and averages 33.2% of the number of registered patients per the total population in this age group during 6-year follow-ups. The maximum prevalence is seen in the retirement-aged population (70.4 per 1,000 corresponding age population; which is more than 3.8 times greater than that in the able-bodied one). There is a steady increase in the prevalence and incidence of OA in the population of Russia as a whole. According to official statistics, patients with OA make up one quarter of all patients with musculoskeletal system diseases and OA is detected in 4% of the entire adult population. Over 20 years, the number of patients with OA increased by 260%. The investigation has shown that the population’s income growth is associated with lower incidence and prevalence rates among pensioners. During 6 years, there is a decline in budget funding for health care in 30 regions of Russia. The share of expenditures in the consolidated regional budgets has been established to be directly associated with the incidence and morbidity of OA. There was an average 183% increase in the expenditures of TCHIFs in Russia. The expenditures of TCHIFs in the regions were directly related to the higher incidence of OA among adults and pensioners, but were unassociated with those among the able-bodied population.
EVALUATION OF THE PROGRESSION OF AXIAL SPONDYLOARTHRITIS IN THE EARLY STAGES OF THE DISEASE IN REAL CLINICAL PRACTICE: THE POSSIBILITIES OF USING THE SUMMARY SCORE OF RADIOGRAPHIC SACROILIITIS
Authors: Erdes Sh. F. , Rumyantseva D. G. , Smirnov A. V. 
Published: September 2018

The currently used methods for evaluating the progression of structural damages in early axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) are little suitable to real practice since they require specially trained radiologists and increase a patient's exposure to radiation due to the need for radiography of three regions of the axial skeleton. In addition, the first radiological bone changes in the sacroiliac joints (SIJ) appear only many years after the onset of the disease, the overlying spine areas are involved in the pathological process. Objective: to develop a method for evaluating the radiographic progression of sacroiliitis (SI) in early axSpA for real clinical practice. Subjects and methods. The investigation enrolled patients from the early spondyloarthritis cohort (ESAC) formed at the V.A. Nasonova Research Institute of Rheumatology. The current ESAC comprised 164 patients; the analysis included 68 patients who had been followed up for at least 2 years and had plain pelvic bone films at the inclusion in the cohort and at 2-year follow-up. To evaluate disease progression, the investigators used the sum of radiographic SI stages in the left and right SIJs (the summary stage of radiographic SI (ssrSI), which was calculated at baseline and at 2-year follow-up. A formula for determining the rate of radiographic progression was derived. Results and discussion. At baseline and at 2-year follow-up, the median ssrSI difference (ΔssrSI) in 68 patients was 0 [0; 1.0]. During the study period, almost 60% of the patients had no progression of ssrSI, i.e. ΔssrSI was 0 in these patients, 1 and 2 scores in 12 (18%) and 13 (19%) patients, respectively, and there were singly cases, in which this figure was equal to 3, 4 and 7. The mean value of ssrSI was 3.5±1.6 at baseline and increased by 0.8, reaching 4.3±1.5 at 2 years (p = 0.006). Before included into the investigation, the patients had a progression rate of 1.75 during 1 year, which decreased to 0.4 per year in the active follow-up period. At the time of inclusion in the study, 40 (58.8%) of the 68 patients had ankylosing spondylitis (AS), and at 2 years their number increased to 51 (75.0%); i.e. 11 (39%) patients were observed to have progression of non-radiographic axSpA to AS. Conclusion. The proposed procedure to calculate ssrSI is easily feasible in real practice; it fails to lead to additional radiation exposure, is economically feasible, and allows one to monitor the rate of progression of axSpA in the early stage of the disease.

GOLDRUSH
Authors: Jarovsky Ariel , Milo Tova , Novgorodov Slava , Tan Wang-Chiew 
Published: September 2018

Fraud detection rules, written by domain experts, are often employed by financial companies to enhance their machine learning-based mechanisms for accurate detection of fraudulent transactions. Accurate rule writing is a challenging task where domain experts spend significant effort and time. A key observation is that much of this difficulty originates from the fact that experts typically work as "lone rangers" or in isolated groups to define the rules, or work on detecting frauds in one context in isolation from frauds that occur in another context. However, in practice there is a lot of commonality in what different experts are trying to achieve.
In this demo, we present the GOLDRUSH system, which facilitates knowledge sharing via effective adaptation of fraud detection rules from one context to another. GOLDRUSH abstracts the possible semantic interpretations of each of the conditions in the rules in one context and adapts them to the target context. Efficient algorithms are used to identify the most effective rule adaptations w.r.t a given cost-benefit metric. We showcase GOLDRUSH through a reenactment of a real-life fraud detection event. Our demonstration will engage the VLDB'18 audience, allowing them to play the role of experts collaborating in the fight against financial frauds.
An eight-dimensional systematic evaluation of optimized search algorithms on modern processors
Authors: Schulz Lars-Christian , Broneske David , Saake Gunter 
Published: September 2018

Searching in sorted arrays of keys is a common task with a broad range of applications. Often searching is part of the performance critical sections of a database query or index access, raising the question what kind of search algorithm to choose and how to optimize it to obtain the best possible performance on real-world hardware. This paper strives to answer this question by evaluating a large set of optimized sequential, binary and k-ary search algorithms on a modern processor. In this context, we consider hardware-sensitive optimization strategies as well as algorithmic variations resulting in an eight-dimensional evaluation space.
As a result, we give insights on expected interactions between search algorithms and optimizations on modern hardware. In fact, there is no single best optimized algorithm, leading to a set of advices on which variants should be considered first given a particular array size.
Causal consistency and latency optimality
Authors: Didona Diego , Guerraoui Rachid , Wang Jingjing , Zwaenepoel Willy 
Published: September 2018

Causal consistency is an attractive consistency model for geo-replicated data stores. It is provably the strongest model that tolerates network partitions. It avoids the long latencies associated with strong consistency, and, especially when using read-only transactions (ROTs), it prevents many of the anomalies of weaker consistency models. Recent work has shown that causal consistency allows "latency-optimal" ROTs, that are nonblocking, single-round and single-version in terms of communication. On the surface, this latency optimality is very appealing, as the vast majority of applications are assumed to have read-dominated workloads.
In this paper, we show that such "latency-optimal" ROTs induce an extra overhead on writes that is so high that it actually jeopardizes performance even in read-dominated workloads. We show this result from a practical as well as from a theoretical angle.
We present the Contrarian protocol that implements "almost latency-optimal" ROTs, but that does not impose on the writes any of the overheads incurred by latency-optimal protocols. In Contrarian, ROTs are nonblocking and single-version, but they require two rounds of client-server communication. We experimentally show that this protocol not only achieves higher throughput, but, surprisingly, also provides better latencies for all but the lowest loads and the most read-heavy workloads.

We furthermore prove that the extra overhead imposed on writes by latency-optimal ROTs is inherent, i.e., it is not an artifact of the design we consider, and cannot be avoided by
any
implementation of latency-optimal ROTs. We show in particular that this overhead grows linearly with the number of clients.
Perceiving Ideas
Authors: Hwang Joseph 
Published: September 2018

AbstractAt the heart of Descartes’s theory of cognition is the act of perceiving an idea. However, it remains unclear what precisely an idea is, what the act of perceiving ideas amounts to, and how that act contributes to the formation of cognition under Descartes’s view. In this paper, I provide an account of perceiving ideas that clarifies Descartes’s notion of an idea and explains the fundamental role that the perceiving of ideas occupies in his theory of cognition. At the end of the paper, I will address an issue that arises regarding the objective reality of ideas and the unity of mind.
A Variational Approach for the Neumann Problem in Some FLRW Spacetimes
Authors: Bereanu Cristian , Torres Pedro J. 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
In this paper, we study, using critical point theory for strongly indefinite functionals, the Neumann problem associated to some prescribed mean curvature problems in a FLRW spacetime with one spatial dimension. We assume that the warping function is even and positive and the prescribed mean curvature function is odd and sublinear. Then, we show that our problem has infinitely many solutions. The keypoint is that our problem has a Hamiltonian formulation. The main tool is an abstract result of Clark type for strongly indefinite functionals.
On middle cohomology of special Artin–Schreier varieties and finite Heisenberg groups

divisible by the characteristic of the base field, and study the middle étale cohomology group of it. If m is even, the variety admits actions of some finite Heisenberg groups. We study the middle cohomology as representations of the Heisenberg groups. If m is odd, we compute the Frobenius eigenvalues of it concretely. This affine scheme comes from the reduction of a certain affinoid in a Lubin–Tate space.

Compact Balanced Single-Band and Dual-Band BPFs with Controllable Bandwidth Using FoldedS-Shaped Slotline Resonators (FSSRs)
Authors: Zou Xin Tong , Yang Zhi Jie , Wei Feng , Li Bin , Shi Xiao Wei 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
In this paper, two compact balanced bandpass filters (BPFs) using half-wavelength folded S-shaped slotline resonators (FSSRs) are designed. The proposed FSSR is realized by extending and folding a traditional S-shaped slotline resonator, which can affect the internal coupling of resonator and reduce the size of the resonator. The balanced stepped-impedance microstrip-slotline transition structures are employed to generate a wideband common-mode (CM) suppression. The proposed filters can realize a single-band differential-mode (DM) bandpass response or a dual-band one by employing one or three FSSRs, respectively. Moreover, the center frequencies of the DM passbands are independent from the CM responses, which can simplify the designs procedure significantly. In order to validate their practicability, a compact balanced dual-band BPF with controllable center frequencies and bandwidths is fabricated and good agreement between the simulated and measured results is observed.
