Anonymizing transactional datasets
(
IOS Press
, 2015 , Article)
In this paper, we study the privacy breach caused by unsafe correlations in transactional data where individuals have multiple tuples in a dataset. We provide two safety constraints to guarantee safe correlation of the ...
Radioactivity levels in the marine environment along the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of Qatar
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
A study on 137Cs, 40K, 226Ra, 228Ra, and 238U was carried out along the EEZ of Qatar. Results serve as the
first ever baseline data. The level of 137Cs (mean value 1.6 ± 0.4 Bq m 3) in water filters was found to be in
the ...
