An efficient reversible privacy-preserving data mining technology over data streams.

With the popularity of smart handheld devices and the emergence of cloud computing, users and companies can save various data, which may contain private data, to the cloud. Topics relating to data security have therefore received much attention. This study focuses on data stream environments and uses the concept of a sliding window to design a reversible privacy-preserving technology to process continuous data in real time, known as a continuous reversible privacy-preserving (CRP) algorithm.

A Novel Anti-classification Approach for Knowledge Protection.

Classification is the problem of identifying a set of categories where new data belong, on the basis of a set of training data whose category membership is known. Its application is wide-spread, such as the medical science domain. The issue of the classification knowledge protection has been paid attention increasingly in recent years because of the popularity of cloud environments.

A HIPAA-compliant key management scheme with revocation of authorization.

Patient control over electronic protected health information (ePHI) is one of the major concerns in the Health Insurance and Accountability Act (HIPAA). In this paper, a new key management scheme is proposed to facilitate control by providing two functionalities. First, a patient can authorize more than one healthcare institute within a designated time period to access his or her ePHIs.

Elimination mechanisms of Br(2)+ and Br+ in photodissociation of 1,1- and 1,2-dibromoethylenes using velocity imaging technique.

Elimination pathways of the Br(2)(+) and Br(+) ionic fragments in photodissociation of 1,2- and 1,1-dibromoethylenes (C(2)H(2)Br(2)) at 233 nm are investigated using time-of-flight mass spectrometer equipped with velocity ion imaging. The Br(2)(+) fragments are verified not to stem from ionization of neutral Br(2), that is a dissociation channel of dibromoethylenes reported previously. Instead, they are produced from dissociative ionization of dibromoethylene isomers.

A novel key management solution for reinforcing compliance with HIPAA privacy/security regulations.

Digitizing medical records facilitates the healthcare process. However, it can also cause serious security and privacy problems, which are the major concern in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). While various conventional encryption mechanisms can solve some aspects of these problems, they cannot address the illegal distribution of decrypted medical images, which violates the regulations defined in the HIPAA.

Photodissociation of cis-, trans-, and 1,1-dichloroethylene in the ultraviolet range: characterization of Cl((2)P(J)) elimination.

By using photofragment velocity imaging detection coupled with a (2 + 1) resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization technique, the elimination channel of spin-orbit chlorine atoms in photodissociation of cis-, trans-, and 1,1-dichloroethylene at two photolysis wavelengths of 214.5 and 235 nm is investigated. Translational energy and angular distributions of Cl((2)P(J)) fragmentation are acquired.

Photodissociation of (ICN)(2) van der Waals dimer using velocity imaging technique.

Photodissociation of (ICN)(2) dimer from 265 to 270 nm are studied using time-of-flight mass spectrometry combined with velocity imaging technique. Both I(+) and I(2) (+) ions are found in the mass spectra. The I(2) (+) ions result from (1+1) resonant ionization of the neutral I(2) fragment that is produced in the photodissociation of dimer, but not from dissociative ionization of (ICN)(2); i.

Photodissociation dynamics of propionyl chloride in the ultraviolet region.

Velocity imaging technique combined with (2+1) resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) is used to detect primary photodissociation of propionyl chloride. In one-color experiments at 235 nm, the Cl and Cl(*) fragments are produced rapidly, leading to a fraction of translational energy release of 0.37 and 0.

Nonadiabatic transition in the A-band photodissociation of ethyl iodide from 294 to 308 nm by using velocity imaging detection.

Photodissociation dynamics of ethyl iodide in the A-band is investigated at wavelengths between 294 and 308 nm using resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization technique combined with velocity imaging detection. The I/I* branching, translational energy disposals, anisotropy parameters, and curve crossing probabilities of the dissociation channels are determined. The I(5p(2)P(3/2))-product channel is found to have hotter internal states of C(2)H(5), and the I*(5p(2)P(1/2)) channel is accompanied by colder C(2)H(5).

Photodissociation of dibromobenzenes at 266 nm by the velocity imaging technique.

A velocity imaging technique combined with (2+1) resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) is used to detect the primary Br((2)P(3/2)) fragment in the photodissociation of o-, m-, and p-dibromobenzene at 266 nm. The obtained translational energy distributions suggest that the Br fragments are produced via two dissociation channels. For o- and m-dibromobenzene, the slow channel that yields an anisotropy parameter close to zero is proposed to stem from excitation of the lowest excited singlet (pi,pi*) state followed by predissociation along a repulsive triplet (n,sigma*) state localized on the C-Br bond.

(1+1) Resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization and photodissociation study of CS2 via the 1B2 state.

(1+1) Resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) spectra of CS(2) and molecular dissociation dynamics are investigated using a time-of-flight mass spectrometer equipped with velocity imaging detection. The REMPI spectra via a linear-bent 1Sigma(g)+-->(1)B(2)(1Sigma(u)+) transition are acquired in the wavelength range of 208-217 nm. Each ro-vibrational band profile of the (1)B(2)(1Sigma(u)+) state is deconvoluted to yield the corresponding predissociative lifetime from 0.

Photodissociation dynamics of bromofluorobenzenes using velocity imaging technique.

Velocity imaging technique combined with (2 + 1) resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) has been used to detect the Br fragment in photodissociation of o-, m-, and p-bromofluorobenzene at 266 nm. The branching ratio of ground state Br(2P3/2) is found to be larger than 96%. Its translational energy distributions suggest that the Br fragments are generated via two dissociation channels for all the molecules.

Productions of I, I*, and C2H5 in the A-band photodissociation of ethyl iodide in the wavelength range from 245 to 283 nm by using ion-imaging detection.

Photodissociation dynamics of ethyl iodide in the A band has been investigated at several wavelengths between 245 and 283 nm using resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization technique combined with velocity map ion-imaging detection. The ion images of I, I(*), and C(2)H(5) fragments are analyzed to yield corresponding speed and angular distributions. Two photodissociation channels are found: I(5p (2)P(3/2))+C(2)H(5) (hotter internal states) and I(*)(5p (2)P(1/2))+C(2)H(5) (colder).

248 nm photolysis of CH2Br2 by using cavity ring-down absorption spectroscopy: Br2 molecular elimination at room temperature.

Following photodissociation of CH2Br2 at 248 nm, Br2 molecular elimination is detected by using a tunable laser beam, as crossed perpendicular to the photolyzing laser beam in a ring-down cell, probing the Br2 fragment in the B 3Piou+ -X 1Sigmag+ transition. The nascent vibrational population is obtained, yielding a population ratio of Br2(v = 1)Br2(v = 0) to be 0.7 +/- 0.
