Efficient Distance Computation Using Function-Hiding Inner Product Encryption for Privacy-Preserving Anomaly Detection.

In Internet of Things (IoT) systems in which a large number of IoT devices are connected to each other and to third-party servers, it is crucial to verify whether each device operates appropriately. Although anomaly detection can help with this verification, individual devices cannot afford this process because of resource constraints. Therefore, it is reasonable to outsource anomaly detection to servers; however, sharing device state information with outside servers may raise privacy concerns.

Large N Partition Functions, Holography, and Black Holes.

We present a simple closed form expression for the topologically twisted index of the ABJM theory as a function of the magnetic fluxes and complex chemical potentials valid at fixed k and to all orders in the 1/N expansion. This in turn leads to analytic expressions for the topologically twisted index at fixed genus in the 't Hooft limit to all orders in the 1/sqrt[λ] expansion. These results have important implications for holography and the microscopic entropy counting of supersymmetric static AdS_{4} black holes.

Micronutrients Are Not Deficient in Children with Nonorganic Failure to Thrive.

Purpose: Inadequate calorie intake is one of the most important causes of nonorganic failure to thrive (NOFTT) and is thought to lead to multiple micronutrient deficiencies. However, there have been few studies on NOFTT and micronutrients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the micronutrient status of children with NOFTT.

Comparison of effect of electroacupuncture and nefopam for prevention of postanesthetic shivering in patients undergoing urologic operation under spinal anesthesia.

Background: Shivering during spinal anesthesia is a frequent complication and is induced by the core-to-peripheral redistribution of heat. Nefopam has minimal side effects and prevents shivering by reducing the shivering threshold. Electroacupuncture is known to prevent shivering by preserving the core body temperature.
