This SpringerBrief presents the concept of the smart grid
architecture and investigates the security issues of the smart grid
and the existing encrypted data query techniques. Unique
characteristics of smart grid impose distinguished challenges on
this investigation, such as multidimensional attributes in metering
data and finer grained query on each dimension. Three kinds of
queries are introduced, namely, equality query, conjunctive query
and range query. For the equality query over encrypted metering
data, an efficient searchable encryption scheme is introduced and
can be applied for auction in emerging smart grid marketing. Later
chapters examine the conjunctive query and range query over
encrypted data. Different techniques are used, including the Public
key Encryption with Keyword Search (PEKS) and Hidden Vector
Encryption (HVE), to construct the comparison predicate and range
query predicate. Their correctness is demonstrated in the book.
Concise and practical, Encrypted Data Querying in Smart Grids is
valuable for professionals and researchers involved in data privacy
or encryption. It is also useful for graduate students interested
in smart grid and related technologies.
This book focuses on characterization of organic coatings by
different testing methods and understanding of structure formation
and materials properties. The knowledge of protective organic
coatings and current test methods is based largely on empirical
experience. This book aims at explaining the coating property
changes during film drying and curing in terms of chemical and
physical transformations. Current test methods are reviewed with
emphasis on understanding their physical basis and expressing the
test results in terms of comparable physical quantities. In
general, this book provides readers a deeper understanding of the
binder design, coating film formation process, properties build-up,
appearance and defect formation, and automotive paint application.
It also suggests manifold ways to improving the coatings
performance. This book is designed for coating professionals to
gain deeper understanding of characterization techniques and to
select the right ones to solve their coating problems. It is ideal
for both experienced and early career scientists and engineers.
Also, it is useful for graduate students in the general area of
protective coatings.
Microbial infections have been and continue to be a major threat to
public health. China has a huge population, among which, microbial
infections are of great concern. The Journal of Microbes and
Infection, a nationwide journal in China with over 4000
subscriptions, publishes original research articles on microbes and
infections in the Chinese language. This book contains selected
research articles published in this journal from 2006 to 2007 that
have been translated into English, and offers a glimpse of a broad
range of microbial infections including the clinical and
epidemiological aspects of various viral infections, current status
of bacterial infections in hospitals, and severe cases of fungal
infections. This book provides a rare opportunity for scientists
and physicians abroad to see the completely original research data,
rather than just the abstract, based on studies conducted in modern
China. Articles on molecular biological and bioinformatic studies
are also included. An overview of the recent research trend in
medical microbiology and infectious diseases in China will be
presented as well. Scientists and physicians working in the fields
of virology, microbiology, immunology, epidemiology, vaccinology,
and infectious diseases will find the articles in this book
fascinating and relevant to their own research and practice.
