k-anonymity is an important model in the field of privacy protection and it is an effective method to prevent privacy disclosure in micro-data release. However, it is ineffective for the attribute disclosure by the homogeneity attack. The existing models based on k-anonymity have solved this problem to a certain extent, but they did not distinguish the different values of the sensitive attribut...

An analytical equation of state is applied to calculate the thermodynamic properties for argon. Theequation of state is that of Song and Mason. It is based on a statistical-mechanical perturbation theory ofhard convex bodies and can be written as fifth-order polynomial in the density. There exist three temperaturedependentparameters: the second virial coefficient, an effective molecular volume,...

The anhamtonic effective pair potentials ~(u)=au~~+~u~/3!+yu~/4! in K& and CsBr have been investigated at room temperature by the EXAFS technique. In the parameter fitting, we have directly carried out the numerical integration of EXAFS function and evaluated the anharmonic effective pair potential. The Griineisen parameters y, were calculated from the obtained values of a and 6 as 1.65 for KBr...

Neat grinding and solvent-drop grinding methods are found to be effective screening tools for indicating the potential for crystalline salt formation involving a given acid-base pair, as demonstrated with two model pharmaceuticals.

A quantum system at equilibrium is represented by a corresponding classical system, chosen to reproduce thermodynamic and structural properties. The motivation is to allow application of classical strong-coupling theories and molecular dynamics simulation to quantum systems at strong coupling. The correspondence is made at the level of the grand-canonical ensembles for the two systems. An effec...
