A novel policy-driven reversible anonymisation scheme for XML-based services
2015
Author's version of an article in the journal: Information Systems. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.is.2014.05.007 This paper proposes a reversible anonymisation scheme for XML messages that supports fine-grained enforcement of XACML-based privacy policies. Reversible anonymisation means that information in XML messages is anonymised, however the information required to reverse the anonymisation is cryptographically protected in the messages. The policy can control access down to octet ranges of individual elements or attributes in XML messages. The reversible anonymisation protocol effectively implements a multi-level privacy and security based approach, s…

1991
Ernesta Foldāta vēstule Edgaram Vimbam, kurā viņš raksta par gatavību palīdzēt tajos izaicinājumos, kas radušies, Latvijai atgūstot neatkarību, par latviešiem Venecuēlā, par neraksturīgi mitro klimatu pēdējā mēneša laikā, savām pārdomām par pavalstniecības maiņu uz latviešu un ar to saistīto pensijas zaudēšanu. Vēstules beigās sveicieni Ziemassvētkos un Jaunaja gadā un paraksts. Vēstule rokrakstā uz Venecuēlas Botāniskā kongresa blociņa 3 lapām. Glabājas Latvijas Universitātes Muzeja Botānikas un mikoloģijas kolekciju krājumā.
Chemical Bath Deposition as a Simple Way to Grow Isolated and Coalesced ZnO Nanorods for Light-Emitting Diodes Fabrication
2018
A way to grow and characterize isolated and coalesced ZnO nanorods on $p$ -GaN/sapphire structure is presented. Chemical bath deposition can be used to grow ZnO nanorods of device-quality, simply controlling the duration time of the growth process and the concentration of the nutrient solution in the bath. Increasing the duration of the process, as well as the concentration of the solution, leads to compact and sound layers instead of separated nanorods. However, too high concentrations stop the growth process. Light-emitting diodes fabricated on these ZnO-p-GaN heterostructure have a peak of electroluminescence at 400 nm and exhibit interesting electrical and optical properties. Optical po…
Simulation-based Evaluation of DMAMAC - A Dual-Mode Adaptive MAC Protocol for Process Control
2015
Control systems automation is widely used in many industrial domains and have strong requirements on delay, throughput, robustness, and reliability. In the domain of networked control systems, the medium of communication is increasingly involving wireless communication along-side conventional wired communication. Issues ranging from energy efficiency and reliability to low-bandwidth have to be addressed to enable the transition to increased use of wireless communication. In earlier work, we have proposed the Dual-Mode Adaptive MAC (DMAMAC) protocol relying on a combination of Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) and Carrier Sense Multiple Access (CSMA). The DMAMAC protocol is able to dynami…
New record of brachylaima sp. (digenea: Brachylaimidae) from a stray dog in north Iran
2017
Abstract Background: Stray dogs are considered potential reservoirs for zoonotic diseases. Previous helminthic surveys in Iran, have accounted for mainly species of nematodes and cestodes, and rarely digeneans. Methods: We accessed 42 car-crashed stray dogs from the Farah Abad Region in the Mazandaran Province (North Iran) between Oct 2012 and Dec 2013, to be inspected for parasites. Helminths were collected from the intestine and they were morphologically studied. Results: We found five adult digeneans from the family Brachylaimidae, identified as Brachylaima sp. Worms were assigned to the genus based on the shape of the body, the position of genital pore, cirrus sac and testes, and the ex…
PTNet: An efficient and green data center network
2017
International audience; In recent years, data centers have witnessed an exponential growth for hosting hundreds of thousands of servers as well as to accommodating a very large demand for resources. To fulfill the required level of demand, some approaches tackled network aspects so to host a huge number of servers while others focused on delivering rapid services to the clients by minimizing the path length between any two servers. In general, network devices are often designed to achieve 1:1 oversubscription. Alternatively, in a realistic data center environment, the average utilization of a network could vary between 5% and 25%, and thus the energy consumed by idle devices is wasted. This…
New Optimization and Security Approaches to Enhance the Smart Grid Performance and Reliability
2016
International audience; Nowadays, the Smart Grid (SG) is becoming smarter thanks to the integration of different information and communication technologies to enhance the reliability and efficiency of the power grid. However, several issues should be met to ensure high SG performance. Among these issues, we cite the problem of electric vehicles (EVs) integration into the SG to avoid electricity intermittence due to the important load that EVs can create. Another issue is the SG communication network security that can be attempted by malicious intruders in order to create damages and make the power grid instable. In this context, we propose at a first level a Bayesian game-theory model that …

Semantic-based Merging of RSS Items
2009
Merging XML documents can be of key importance in several applications. For instance, merging the RSS news from same or different sources and providers can be beneficial for end-users in various scenarios. In this paper, we address this issue and explore the relatedness measure between RSS elements. We show here how to define and compute exclusive relations between any two elements and provide several predefined merging operators that can be extended and adapted to human needs. We also provide a set of experiments conducted to validate our approach. © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2009.
Multispectral Imaging using a Stereo Camera: Concept, Design and Assessment
2011
This paper proposes a one-shot six-channel multispectral color image acquisition system using a stereo camera and a pair of optical filters. The two filters from the best pair selected from among readily available filters such that they modify the sensitivities of the two cameras in such a way that they produce optimal estimation of spectral reflectance and/or color are placed in front of the two lenses of the stereo camera. The two images acquired from the stereo camera are then registered for pixel-to-pixel correspondence. The spectral reflectance and/or color at each pixel on the scene are estimated from the corresponding camera outputs in the two images. Both simulations and experiments…
