Unique on Facebook: Formulation and Evidence of (Nano)targeting Individual Users with non-PII Data
Previous literature has also reported that, in datasets including millions of users, a combination of several non-PII items (which alone are not enough to identify an individual) can uniquely identify an individual within the dataset.

Universal Payment Channels: An Interoperability Platform for Digital Currencies
We envision a future payment network that may be built on top of DLT networks without being subject to their limitations on interoperability, scalability, and availability faced by DLT payment solutions today.

Impact of delay classes on the data structure in IOTA
However, the exact time that a message enters the tip pool of a node depends on the delay of that message.

Legged Robots that Keep on Learning: Fine-Tuning Locomotion Policies in the Real World
Legged robots are physically capable of traversing a wide range of challenging environments, but designing controllers that are sufficiently robust to handle this diversity has been a long-standing challenge in robotics.
