Can online trackers and network adversaries de-anonymize web browsing data readily available to them? We show— theoretically, via simulation, and through experiments on real user data—that de-identified web browsing histories can be linked to social media profiles using only publicly available data. Our approach is based on a simple observation: each person has a distinctive social network, and...

functioning. I would like to elaborate here on some of the features of their thinking that I found particularly salient. People suffering from generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) live in a strange world. Actually, they do not live in the world very much at all. And perhaps it is not such a strange world after all, given that where they typically live and how they live are not all that different ...

This change proposal speci es the addition of tables with valid-time support into SQL/Temporal, and explains how to use these facilities to migrate smoothly from a conventional relational system to a temporal system. Initially, important requirements to a temporal system that may facilitate such a transition are motivated and discussed. The proposal then describes the language additions necessa...

class Component { abstract void handleEvent(Event e); }void handleEvent(Event e); } Fig. 30. Base class of components in an event-based system sending messages to one another. Instead, each component is able to announce a set of events. Separately, other components can register to receive notification whenever a certain event is announced by providing a handler procedure for the event. When an ...

NASA's Mars Geodesy/Cartography Working Group (MGCWG), established in 1998 and chaired since 2000 by one of us (TCD), consists of leading researchers in planetary geodesy and cartography at such diverse institutions as JPL, NASA Ames and Goddard Centers, Purdue and Ohio State Universities, Malin Space Science Ssystems, the German Center for Aerospace Research DLR, and the US Geological Survey, ...

The literature of active magnetic bearing (AMB) technology dates back to at least 1937 when the earliest work that clearly describes an active magnetic bearing system was published by Jesse Beams [1]. Progress on the technology was modest until the late 1970s, when commercial development began to emerge as, for instance, described by Haberman and Liard in 1977 [2]. The state of the art in 1988 ...

We present an automatic workflow that performs text segmentation and entity extraction from scientific literature to primarily address Task 2 of the Semantic Publishing Challenge 2015. The goal of Task 2 is to extract various information from full-text papers to represent the context in which a document is written, such as the affiliation of its authors and the corresponding funding bodies. Our...

Background: BAC clones containing entire mammalian genes including all the transcribed region and long range controlling elements are very useful for functional analysis. Sequenced BACs are available for most of the human and mouse genomes and in many cases these contain intact genes. However, large genes often span more than one BAC, and single BACs covering the entire region of interest are n...
