Record linkage is the process of identifying which records in two or more databases correspond to the same real-world entity. Three major challenges of this process are (1) achieving high linkage quality, (2) scalability to linking very large databases, and (3) protecting the privacy and confidentiality of personal identifying data that are used in the linkage process. This presentation provide...

The emergence of the Internet has impacted the health information and the healthcare industry. The information revolution has reduced the distance between the healthcare providers and consumers. It permits easy dissemination of information and fast accessibility of data. Because of easy accessibility, privacy and confidentiality has become an important issue to be considered in the implementati...

The linking of multiple (three or more) health databases is challenging because of the increasing sizes of databases, the number of parties among which they are to be linked, and privacy concerns related to the use of personal data such as names, addresses, or dates of birth. This entails a need to develop advanced scalable techniques for linking multiple databases while preserving the privacy ...

Cross linking of high density polyethylene (HDPE) was first performed via high energy10 Mev electron beam (EB) irradiation. HDPE was also cross linked withDicumyle peroxide (DCP).The gel content of samples was determined by solvent extraction.Degree of cross linking was evaluated by hot set apparatus; as well .In order to clarify the effectof nature of cross linking, correlation of electrical p...

abstractin the last step of desolvation method for preparation of albumin nanoparticles, glutaraldehyde (ga) is added to stabilize the newly formed nanoparticles. due to undesirable effects of ga, the objective of this study was to evaluate alternative methods of crosslinking including ultraviolet (uv) irradiation, adding of glucose and combination of both methods. the nanoparticles were prepar...

Record linkage is the process of identifying records that refer to the same entities from several databases. This process is challenging because commonly no unique entity identifiers are available. Linkage therefore has to rely on partially identifying attributes, such as names and addresses of people. Recent years have seen the development of novel techniques for linking data from diverse appl...

Linking databases containing information on individual characteristics and behavior is of increasing scientific and commercial interest. In many applications, linking databases has to be done without a unique personal number. Hence, due to privacy concerns, privacy preserving record linkage (PPRL) is used most often. In this context encrypted personal quasi-identifiers such as first names, surn...
