HTTP response size is a well-known side channel attack. With the deployment of HTTP/2.0, response size attacks are generally dismissed with the argument that pipelining and response multiplexing prevent eavesdroppers from finding out response sizes. Yet the extent to which pipelining and response multiplexing actually hide HTTP response sizes has not been adequately investigated. In this paper ...

The grouping of record-pairs to determine which records belong to the same individual is an important part of the record linkage process. While a merge grouping approach is commonly used, other methods may be more appropriate when linking to a repository of previously linked data. In this paper, we applied a number of grouping strategies to three large scale hospital datasets (comprising around...

Founders & Survivors is a multi-university and public collaborative project that is building a transnational and inter-generational dataset of life courses generated from the UNESCO recognized convict records of Tasmania. This paper outlines the technical history of the project: mass digitization and archiving online of over 100,000 images; manual scholarly transcription; TEI standard XML data ...

by Akshay R. Rao, Mark E. Bergen, and ^ 1 1^ f Scott Davis War I N THE BATTLE TO CAPTURE THE CUSTOMER, companies use a wide range of tactics to ward off competitors. Increasingly, price is the weapon of choice and frequently the skirmishing degenerates into a price war. Creating low-price appeal is often the goal, hut the result of one retaliatory price slashing after another is often a precipi...

Nature's most spectacular colours originate in integumentary tissue architectures that scatter light via nanoscale modulations of the refractive index. The most intricate biophotonic nanostructures are three-dimensional crystals with opal, single diamond or single gyroid lattices. Despite intense interest in their optical and structural properties, the evolution of such nanostructures is poorly...

Road safety research, in particular road and traffic safety evaluation research, is highly applied and carried out mostly to help reducing the number of road accidents and the injuries resulting from them. This subject has been continuously studied, and in developed countries road safety is improved in a way that, more and more, new measures have less visible impact. Although measures are usual...

The accuracy of ethnic classification can substantially affect ethnic-specific cancer statistics. In the Greater Bay Area Cancer Registry, which is part of the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program and of the statewide California Cancer Registry, Hispanic ethnicity is determined by medical record review and by matching to surname lists. This study compared these classificat...

To assess the performance of vital status determination by record linkage between a hospital database and the French national mortality database with anonymised data in order to adhere to French legislation. Hospital database of the Institut Gustave Roussy (IGR), the largest cancer centre in France, and the French mortality databases from 1998-2004 were used for this record linkage. A phonetic ...

Record linkage has received significant attention in recent years due to the plethora of data sources that have to be integrated to facilitate data analyses. In several cases, such an integration involves disparate data sources containing huge volumes of records and must be performed in near real-time in order to support critical applications. In this paper, we propose the first summarization a...

The task of linking multiple databases with the aim to identify records that refer to the same entity is occurring increasingly in many application areas. If unique identifiers for the entities are not available in all the databases to be linked, techniques that calculate approximate similarities between records must be used for the identification of matching pairs of records. Often, the record...
