EARS-DM: Efficient Auto Correction Retrieval Scheme for Data Management in Edge Computing
Edge computing is an extension of cloud computing that enables messages to be acquired and processed at low cost. Many terminal devices are being deployed in the edge network to sense and deal with the massive data. By migrating part of the computing tasks from the original cloud computing model to the edge device, the message is running on computing resources close to the data source. The edge computing model can effectively reduce the pressure on the cloud computing center and lower the network bandwidth consumption. However, the security and privacy issues in edge computing are worth noting. In this paper, we propose an efficient auto-correction retrieval scheme for data management in edge computing, named EARS-DM. With automatic error correction for the query keywords instead of similar words extension, EARS-DM can tolerate spelling mistakes and reduce the complexity of index storage space. By the combination of TF-IDF value of keywords and the syntactic weight of query keywords, keywords who are more important will obtain higher relevance scores. We construct an R-tree index building with the encrypted keywords and the children nodes of which are the encrypted identifier FID and Bloom filter BF of files who contain this keyword. The secure index will be uploaded to the edge computing and the search phrase will be performed by the edge computing which is close to the data source. Then EDs sort the matching encrypted file identifier FID by relevance scores and upload them to the cloud server (CS). Performance analysis with actual data indicated that our scheme is efficient and accurate
Overcoming the Circular Problem for \gamma-ray Bursts in Cosmological Global Fitting Analysis
Due to the lack of low redshift long Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs), the circular
problem has been a severe obstacle for using GRBs as cosmological candles. In
this paper, we present a new method to deal with such a problem in MCMC global
fitting analysis. Assuming that a certain type of correlations between
different observables exists in a subsample of GRBs, for the parameters
involved in the correlation relation, we treat them as free parameters and
determine them simultaneously with cosmological parameters through MCMC
analysis on GRB data together with other observational data. Then the circular
problem is naturally eliminated in this procedure. We take the Ghirlanda
relation as an example while keeping in mind the debate about its physical
validity. Together with SNe Ia, WMAP and SDSS data, we include 27 GRBs with the
reported Ghirlanda relation in our study, and perform MCMC global fitting. We
consider the CDM model and dynamical dark energy models. In each case,
in addition to the constraints on the relevant cosmological parameters, we
obtain the best fit values as well as the distributions of the correlation
parameters and . We find that the observational data sets other than
GRBs can affect and considerably through their degeneracies with the
cosmological parameters. The results on and for different cosmological
models are in well agreement within range. The best fit value of
in all models being analyzed is with . For ,
we have the best value in the range of with . It is
also noted that the distributions of and are generally broader than the
priors used in many studies in literature. (Abriged)Comment: 9 pages, 2 figures, 2 tables, Accepted for publication in Ap
Neuro-ophthalmological manifestations of neurosyphilis in 22 cases
AIM: To analyze the characteristics of neurological ophthalmology manifestation of patients with neurosyphilis.METHODS: Retrospective and nonrandomized case analysis were used. Totally 22 cases of 39 eyes were included. They were 17 males and 5 females, aged from 34 to 65 years old. The average age were 49.6 years old. RESULTS: The optic nerve atrophy presented in 11 cases of 22 eyes. One eye of them accompanied by left eye oculomotor nerve palsy; 5 eyes in 3 cases expressed as optic neuritis acute phase; neuroretinitis appeared in 4 cases of 6 eyes; 1 case of 2 eyes expressed as chorioretinitis accompanied by optic disc edema; central retinal artery occlusion were found in 1 case of 1 eye. Argyll-Robertson pupil was as only manifestation in 2 cases of 3 eyes. In all cases, Argyll-Robertson pupil signs can be seen in 19 eyes. Treponema pallidum particle agglutination test(TPPA)were positive in all 22 cases. Syphilis rapid plasma reactin test(RPR)were positive in 19 of 21 cases. All patients underwent lumbar puncture and cerebrospinal fluid were detected for RPR, cerebrospinal fluid protein, white blood cell count. Cerebrospinal fluid RPR were positive in 13 cases. Cerebrospinal fluid protein were greater than 450mg/L in 18 cases. Cerebrospinal fluid white blood cell count were greater than 5/mm3 in 13 cases. CONCLUSION: Neurosyphilis involving neuro-ophthalmology often occurs in middle-aged men and subacute onset. Both eyes can suffered from optic nerve disease simultaneously or sequencely. A few can be expressed as other cranial nerve palsy, which may lead to misdiagnosis. Considering medical history, clinical manifestations, ophthalmic examination, serum and cerebrospinal fluid laboratory tests can improve the diagnostic rate
