A lightweight verifiable outsourced decryption of attribute-based encryption scheme for blockchain-enabled wireless body area network in fog computing by Rui Guo, Chaoyuan Zhuang, Huixian Shi, Yinghui Zhang, Dong Zheng

“…The proposal provides the verifiability of ciphertext that ensures the user to check the correctness efficiently. (2) The size of the ciphertext is constant that is not increased with the complexity of attribute and access structure. (3) For Internet of Things devices, it introduces the fog computing into our protocol for the purpose of low latency and relation interactions, which has virtually saved the bandwidth. (4) With the help of blockchain technique, we encapsulate the hash value of public parameter, original and transformed ciphertext and transformed key into a block, so that the tamper-resistance is facilitated against an adversary from inside and outside the system. (5) In the standard model, we prove that it is selectively chosen-plaintext attack-secure and verifiable provided that the computational bilinear Diffie–Hellman assumption holds. (6) It implements this protocol and shows the result of performance measurement, which indicates a significant reduction on communication and computation costs burden on every entity in wireless body area network.…”

Neuroplastin genetically interacts with Cadherin 23 and the encoded isoform Np55 is sufficient for cochlear hair cell function and hearing. by Sherylanne Newton, Fanbo Kong, Adam J Carlton, Carlos Aguilar, Andrew Parker, Gemma F Codner, Lydia Teboul, Sara Wells, Steve D M Brown, Walter Marcotti, Michael R Bowl

“…Furthermore, comparing the hearing thresholds and IHC synapse structure of Nptn-knockout mice with those of mice that lack Nptn only in IHCs and OHCs shows that the majority of the auditory deficit is explained by hair cell dysfunction, with abnormal afferent synapses contributing only a small proportion of the hearing loss. …”

Microstructure evolution of third generation nickel-based single crystal superalloy DD10 after long-term aging by ZHEN Xingmin, ZHAO Jie, CAO Tieshan

“…Quantitative statistical analysis reveals that the coarsening of the γ' phase aligns with the Lifshitz-Slyozov-Wagner （LSW） model. Following aging at 1050 ℃ for 500 h or more， the γ' phase within the dendritic core adopts an irregular shape， and stress within the dendrites leads to the formation of a valuated structure in the γ' phase between dendrites， with the valuation direction coinciding with the primary dendrite growth direction ［001］. …”

Muzyka i horror. "Lśnienie" Stanleya Kubricka by Krzysztof Kozłowski

“…In conclusion, it shall be argued that in constructing a semantic framework of music in such a rich multi-level fashion, Kubrick has turned the role of music into an integral element of a highly complex artistic structure. This, it ought to be added, allows the score of this film to be placed at the same level as synthetic works of art (musical drama) and in terms of the genre horror, The Shining is the most “musicalised” of Kubrick’s films. …”
