XYZ Privacy
Future autonomous vehicles will generate, collect, aggregate and consume
significant volumes of data as key gateway devices in emerging Internet of
Things scenarios. While vehicles are widely accepted as one of the most
challenging mobility contexts in which to achieve effective data
communications, less attention has been paid to the privacy of data emerging
from these vehicles. The quality and usability of such privatized data will lie
at the heart of future safe and efficient transportation solutions.
In this paper, we present the XYZ Privacy mechanism. XYZ Privacy is to our
knowledge the first such mechanism that enables data creators to submit
multiple contradictory responses to a query, whilst preserving utility measured
as the absolute error from the actual original data. The functionalities are
achieved in both a scalable and secure fashion. For instance, individual
location data can be obfuscated while preserving utility, thereby enabling the
scheme to transparently integrate with existing systems (e.g. Waze). A new
cryptographic primitive Function Secret Sharing is used to achieve
non-attributable writes and we show an order of magnitude improvement from the
default implementation.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1708.0188
Strategic Audit of Microsoft Office
Microsoft Office is some of the most iconic software ever made. It empowers people and organizations across the planet to achieve more.
The scope of this audit is limited to Office for business. The consumer market, which is less profitable and dominated by free products, is not considered.
This audit attempts to explain the strategies currently being pursued by the Office leadership team, and the relation of these strategies to the broader industry. Ultimately, this paper attempts to identify threats to Office and offer suggestions on how best to mitigate those threats

Preclinical models of myocardial infarction: from mechanism to translation
Approximately 7 million people are affected by acute myocardial infarction (MI) each year, and despite significant therapeutic and diagnostic advancements, MI remains a leading cause of mortality worldwide. Pre-clinical animal models have significantly advanced our understanding of MI and enable the development of therapeutic strategies to combat this debilitating disease. Notably, some drugs currently used to treat MI and heart failure (HF) in patients had initially been studied in pre-clinical animal models. Despite this, pre-clinical models are limited in their ability to fully recapitulate the complexity of MI in humans. The pre-clinical model must be carefully selected to maximise the translational potential of experimental findings. This review describes current experimental models of MI and considers how they have been used to understand drug mechanisms of action (MOA) and support translational medicine development
Notch signalling influences cell fate decisions and HOX gene induction in axial progenitors
The generation of the post-cranial embryonic body relies on the coordinated production of spinal cord neurectoderm and presomitic mesoderm cells from neuromesodermal progenitors (NMPs). This process is orchestrated by pro-neural and pro-mesodermal transcription factors that are co-expressed in NMPs together with Hox genes, which are critical for axial allocation of NMP derivatives. NMPs reside in a posterior growth region, which is marked by the expression of Wnt, FGF and Notch signalling components. While the importance of Wnt and FGF in influencing the induction and differentiation of NMPs is well established, the precise role of Notch remains unclear. Here, we show that the Wnt/FGF-driven induction of NMPs from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) relies on Notch signalling. Using hESC-derived NMPs and chick embryo grafting, we demonstrate that Notch directs a pro-mesodermal character at the expense of neural fate. We show that Notch also contributes to activation of HOX gene expression in human NMPs, partly in a non-cell-autonomous manner. Finally, we provide evidence that Notch exerts its effects via the establishment of a negative feedback loop with FGF signalling.</p
