A Shannon-Theoretic Approach to the Storage–Retrieval Trade-Off in PIR Systems (open access)

A Shannon-Theoretic Approach to the Storage–Retrieval Trade-Off in PIR Systems

Authors of the article consider the storage–retrieval rate trade-off in private information retrieval (PIR) systems using a Shannon-theoretic approach. Their focus is mostly on the canonical two-message two-database case, for which a coding scheme based on random codebook generation and the binning technique is proposed.

CPS: Medium: Integrating sensors, controls, and ecotoxicology with decoupled aquaponics using brackish groundwater and desalination concentrate for sustainable food production (open access)

CPS: Medium: Integrating sensors, controls, and ecotoxicology with decoupled aquaponics using brackish groundwater and desalination concentrate for sustainable food production

Data management plan for the grant, "CPS: Medium: Integrating sensors, controls, and ecotoxicology with decoupled aquaponics using brackish groundwater and desalination concentrate for sustainable food production." This project aims to develop a cyber-physical system (CPS) testbed of integrated sensors, controls, machine learning, and ecotoxicology tools to engineer sustainable food production systems based on aquaculture using brackish water. The testbed includes an automated recirculating aquaculture system integrated with a real-time ecotoxicology system, implementing the system using desalination concentrate to demonstrate that brackish groundwater desalination costs can be offset by using its byproducts for profitable food production. This project will engage students of the local communities in three major ways: developing an exhibit and activity emphasizing interdisciplinary CPS research conducted during the academic year, offering summer research experiences to students from underrepresented groups, and participating in STEM outreach events targeting underrepresented groups.

A Low-Power Wireless System for Predicting Early Signs of Sudden Cardiac Arrest Incorporating an Optimized CNN Model Implemented on NVIDIA Jetson (open access)

A Low-Power Wireless System for Predicting Early Signs of Sudden Cardiac Arrest Incorporating an Optimized CNN Model Implemented on NVIDIA Jetson

Article discusses the low survival rate of sudden cardiac arrest and its long-term risks that patients may experience. Authors propose a more effective method of recording and reporting sudden cardiac arrest symptoms so preventative measures may be instated earlier on to increase survival rate.

Collaborative Research: CIF: Medium: Fundamental Limits of Cache-aided Multi-user Private Function Retrieval (open access)

Collaborative Research: CIF: Medium: Fundamental Limits of Cache-aided Multi-user Private Function Retrieval

Data management plan for the grant, "Collaborative Research: CIF: Medium: Fundamental Limits of Cache-aided Multi-user Private Function Retrieval." This project is motivated by the need to efficiently execute complex queries on massive databases in a way that minimizes the use of communication resources while preserving the privacy of the entity that initiated the query. Such queries are functions of the data points that are stored at remote servers. This project develops a principled and holistic framework for the problem of privately retrieving, at distributed cache-aided nodes, the output of functions based on both data that is locally computed and data that is received from multiple servers.

Reconstructing aerosol optical depth using spatiotemporal Long Short-Term Memory convolutional autoencoder (open access)

Reconstructing aerosol optical depth using spatiotemporal Long Short-Term Memory convolutional autoencoder

Article describes how Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD)is a crucial atmospheric parameter in comprehending climate change, air quality, and its impacts on human health. This study presents a new solution to this challenge by providing a long-term, gapless satellite-derived AOD dataset for Texas from 2010 to 2022, utilizing Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) multi-angle implementation of atmospheric correction (MAIAC) products.
