  • (k, l)-Clustering for Transactional Data Streams Anonymization 
    Tekli, Jimmy; Al Bouna, Bechara; Issa, Youssef Bou; Kamradt, Marc; Haraty, Ramzi (Springer, 2019-03-18)
    In this paper, we address the correlation problem in the anonymization of transactional data streams. We propose a bucketization-based technique, entitled (k, l)-clustering to prevent such privacy breaches by ensuring that ...

  • Kefir exhibits anti‑proliferative and pro‑apoptotic effects on colon adenocarcinoma cells with no significant effects on cell migration and invasion 
    Khoury, Nathalie; El-Hayek, Stephany; Tarras, Omayr; El Sabban, Marwan; El-Sibai, Mirvat; Rizk, Sandra (2015-12-18)
    Kefir, a fermented milk product, exhibits anti‑tumoral activity in vivo; yet its mechanism of action remains elusive. Recent studies have focused on the mechanism of action of kefir on cancer cells in vitro. The current ...
  • Kefir induces cell-cycle arrest and apoptosis in HTLV-1-negative malignant T-lymphocytes 
    Rizk, Sandra; Maalouf, Katia; Baydoun, Elias (2016-05-09)
    Background: Adult lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a malignancy that occurs in white blood cells. The overall cure rate in children is 85%, whereas it is only 40% in adults. Kefir is an important probiotic that contains ...
  • Kefir inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis of epithelial colorectal adenocarcinoma cells. (c2011) 
    Hayek, Stephanie E. (Lebanese American University, 2011-11-18)
    Kefir is a fermented milk product, to which many health benefits have been attributed. These include anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and metabolic benefits. Most importantly, many studies have proven ...
  • A kernelization algorithm for d-Hitting Set 
    Abu-Khzam, Faisal N. (2015-12-07)
    For a given parameterized problem, π, a kernelization algorithm is a polynomial-time pre-processing procedure that transforms an arbitrary instance of π into an equivalent one whose size depends only on the input parameter(s). ...
  • Kernelization algorithms for the vertex cover problem 
    Abu-Khzam, Faisal N.; Collins, Rebecca L.; Fellows, Micheal R.; Langston, Micheal A.; Suters, W. Henry; Symons, Christopher T. (2017-03-21)
    A variety of efficient kernelization strategies for the classic vertex cover problem are developed, implemented and compared experimentally. A new technique, termed crown reduction, is introduced and analyzed. Applications ...
  • Kernels 
    Abu-Khzam, Faisal N.; Fernau, Hernning (2017-03-20)
    The notion of a “problem kernel” plays a central role in the design of fixed-parameter algorithms. The FPT literature is rich in kernelization algorithms that exhibit fundamentally different approaches. We highlight ...
