The transient response of passivated metallic electrode system under potential step was analyzed based on a linear model, and a technique for calculating the parameters characterizing the growth and dissolution of passive film was proposed. It is believed that the information which is expected to be gained from the impedance measurement can be obtained by this technique and that this technique ...

The random-adversary technique is a general method for proving lower bounds on randomized parallel algorithms. The bounds apply to the number of communication steps, and they apply regardless of the processors’ instruction sets, the lengths of messages, etc. This paper introduces the random-adversary technique and shows how it can be used to obtain lower bounds on randomized parallel algorithms...

Local differential privacy (LDP) has been received increasing attention as a formal definition without trusted server. In typical LDP protocol, the clients perturb their data locally with randomized mechanism before sending it to server for analysis. Many studies in literature of implicitly assume that honestly follow protocol; however, two recent show is generally vulnerable under malicious cl...
