Use HypE to Hide Association Rules by Adding Items
<div><p>During business collaboration, partners may benefit through sharing data. People may use data mining tools to discover useful relationships from shared data. However, some relationships are sensitive to the data owners and they hope to conceal them before sharing. In this paper, we address this problem in forms of association rule hiding. A hiding method based on evolutionary multi-objective optimization (EMO) is proposed, which performs the hiding task by selectively inserting items into the database to decrease the confidence of sensitive rules below specified thresholds. The side effects generated during the hiding process are taken as optimization goals to be minimized. HypE, a recently proposed EMO algorithm, is utilized to identify promising transactions for modification to minimize side effects. Results on real datasets demonstrate that the proposed method can effectively perform sanitization with fewer damages to the non-sensitive knowledge in most cases.</p></div

Highly Selective Luminescent Sensing of Fluoride and Organic Small-Molecule Pollutants Based on Novel Lanthanide Metal–Organic Frameworks
Two novel isostructural lanthanide
metal–organic frameworks (Ln-MOFs), [Ln<sub>2</sub>(BPDC)Â(BDC)<sub>2</sub>(H<sub>2</sub>O)<sub>2</sub>]<sub><i>n</i></sub> (Ln = Eu (<b>1</b>) and Tb (<b>2</b>)), have been successfully
synthesized via a mixed ligand approach using 2,2′-bipyridine-3,3′-dicarboxylic
acid (H<sub>2</sub>BPDC) and 1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid (H<sub>2</sub>BDC) under hydrothermal conditions. Structural analysis shows that
two lanthanide ions are 4-fold linked by two κ<sup>1</sup>-κ<sup>1</sup>-μ<sub>2</sub> carboxylates from BDC<sup>2–</sup> and the other two κ<sup>2</sup>-κ<sup>1</sup>-μ<sub>2</sub> carboxylates from BPDC<sup>2–</sup> to form a binuclear
core. The binuclear units are further connected by BDC<sup>2–</sup> and BPDC<sup>2–</sup> to build a three-dimensional framework
possessing <b>tfz-d</b> topology with the short (Schläfli)
vertex symbol {4<sup>3</sup>}<sub>2</sub>{4<sup>6</sup>·6<sup>18</sup>·8<sup>4</sup>}. Moreover, isostructural doped Ln-MOFs
[Eu<sub>2<i>x</i></sub>Tb<sub>2(1–<i>x</i>)</sub>(BPDC)Â(BDC)<sub>2</sub>(H<sub>2</sub>O)<sub>2</sub>]<sub><i>n</i></sub> (<i>x</i> = 0.1 (<b>1a</b>), 0.3
(<b>1b</b>), 0.5 (<b>1c</b>), 0.7 (<b>1d</b>), and
0.9 (<b>1e</b>)) were also successfully synthesized. Thermal
gravimetric analyses (TGA) reveal high thermal stability of these
Ln-MOFs. Luminescent measurements indicate that the characteristic
sharp emission bands of Eu<sup>3+</sup> and Tb<sup>3+</sup> ions are
simultaneously observed in <b>1a</b>–<b>e</b>.
Further luminescent studies reveal that <b>1</b>, <b>2</b>, and <b>1a</b> not only display a high-sensitivity sensing
function with respect to fluoride but also exhibit significant solvent-dependent
luminescent response to small-molecule pollutants, such as formaldehyde,
acetonitrile, and acetone
Ultrastrong Alkali-Resisting Lanthanide-Zeolites Assembled by [Ln<sub>60</sub>] Nanocages
Zeolites,
as one of the most important porous materials, are most
widely utilized in sorbents, catalysis, and ion-exchange fields. However,
the multi-functional lanthanide-zeolites constructed exclusively by
lanthanide ions and oxygen linkers are to our knowledge unknown hitherto.
Herein, we, for the first time, report the unique structure and multifunctions
of lanthanide zeolites (<b>1·Gd</b>, <b>1·Tb</b>, <b>1·Dy</b>), featuring 60 nuclear [Ln<sub>60</sub>]
nanocages as building blocks and ultrastrong alkali-resisting. These
compounds possess extremely high stability and still retain single
crystallinity after treatment in boiling water, 0.1 M HCl, and 20
M NaOH aqueous solutions. Magnetic studies revealed <b>1·Gd</b> has large magnetocaloric effect with −Δ<i>S</i><sub>m</sub><sup>max</sup> = 66.5 J kg<sup>–1</sup> K<sup>–1</sup>, falling among the largest values known to date.
Importantly, these lanthanide-zeolites themselves can efficiently
catalyze the cycloaddition of CO<sub>2</sub> with epoxides under mild
conditions. Our finding extends the conventional zeolites to lanthanide
counterparts, opening a new space for seeking novel and/or multifunctional
zeolites
Transition-Metal-Triggered High-Efficiency Lithium Ion Storage via Coordination Interactions with Redox-Active Croconate in One-Dimensional Metal–Organic Anode Materials
Coordination
polymers (CPs) have powerful competence as anode materials for lithium-ion
batteries (LIBs) owing to their structural diversity, tunable functionality,
and facile and mild synthetic conditions. Here, we show that two isostructural
one-dimensional croconate-based CPs, namely, [MÂ(C<sub>5</sub>O<sub>5</sub>)Â(H<sub>2</sub>O)<sub>3</sub>]<i><sub>n</sub></i> (M = Mn for <b>1</b> and Co for <b>2</b>; C<sub>5</sub>O<sub>5</sub><sup>2–</sup> = croconate dianion), can work
as high-performance electrode materials for rechargeable LIBs. By
means of the coordination between the redox-active transition metal
ion and the ligand, the anode materials were stable in the electrolyte
and showed high capacities, impressive rate capabilities, and excellent
cycling performance during the discharging/charging processes. The
chain-based supramolecular structures of the CPs also make them stand
out from a crowd of porous three-dimensional molecular materials due
to their free channels between the chains for lithium ion diffusion.
When tested in a voltage window of 0.01–2.4 V at 100 mA g<sup>–1</sup>, CPs <b>1</b> and <b>2</b> demonstrated
high discharge specific capacities of 729 and 741 mA h g<sup>–1</sup>, respectively. The synergistical redox reactions on both metal centers
and the organic moieties play a crucial role in the high electrochemical
performance of CPs <b>1</b> and <b>2</b>. After undergoing
elevated discharging/charging rates to 2 A g<sup>–1</sup>,
the electrodes could finally recover their capabilities as those in
the initial stage when the current rate was back to 100 mA g<sup>–1</sup>, indicating excellent rate performance and outstanding cycling stabilities
of the materials
