Efficient privacy-preserving image retrieval scheme over outsourced data with multi-user by Xiangyu WANG, Jianfeng MA, Yinbin MIAO

“…The traditional privacy-preserving image retrieval schemes not only bring large computational and communication overhead,but also cannot protect the image and query privacy in multi-user scenarios.To solve above problems,an efficient privacy-preserving content-based image retrieval scheme was proposed in multi-user scenarios.The scheme used Euclidean distance comparison technique to rank the pictures according to similarity of picture feature vectors and return top-k returned.Meanwhile,the efficient key conversion protocol designed in proposed image retrieval scheme allowed each search user to generate queries based on his own private key so that he can retrieval encrypted images generated by different data owners.Strict security analysis shows that the user privacy and cloud data security can be well protected during the image retrieval process,and the performance analysis using real-world dataset shows that the proposed image retrieval scheme is efficient and feasible in practical applications.…”

Research and application of micro-scale fracture prediction technology for deep coalbed methane based on five-dimensional seismic data by Lei ZHANG, Fengyin XU, Jiangnan TONG, Feng ZHANG, Feng WANG, Wei HOU, Yihang CHANG, Songyi HOU, Xiangbing PEI, Zhenyi CAO, Tong CHEN, Xuefeng LI, Ke ZHOU, Yongzhou LI, Huaibin ZHEN, Wenting ZENG

“…Focusing on the deep No. 8 coal seam in the study area, we rely on high-quality 3D seismic data characterized by “two wide and one high” features. Through OVT （Offset Vector Tile）domain processing, we obtained five-dimensional seismic data encompassing time, space (3D coordinates), offset (or source-receiver distance), and azimuth. …”

RIEDEL MEGASHEARS R' AND THE TREND TO GRAVITATIONAL EQUILIBRIUM AS MAIN FACTORS OF TSUNAMIGENIC EARTHQUAKES by M. A. Goncharov, E. A. Rogozhin, N. S. Frolova, P. N. Rozhin, V. S. Zakharov

“…We assumed that nature cannot be ‘tolerant’ for a long time, and found an opposite natural reaction (mainly in the case of the Tohoku earthquake in Japan on March 11, 2011) – subsidense of the Earth surface segment adjacent to the island arc and uplift of the surface segment adjacent to the trench, accompanied by horizontal movement of the material from the arc towards the trench (Figs. 47–54, and 58). This process has a trend of declining relief contrast between the arc and the trough and inversion of the sign of gravity anomalies (Figs. 44–46). …”
