The entrocytes of the small intestine can only absorb monosaccharides such as glucose and fructose from our diet. The intestinal absorption of dietary carbohydrates such as maltose and sucrose is carried out by a group of α-glucosidases. Inhibition of these enzymes can significantly decrease the postprandial increase of blood glucose level after a mixed carbohydrate diet. Therefore, the inhibit...

Using the operator product expansion (OPE) technique, we study the rare double radiative decay B → Kγγ in the Standard Model (SM) and beyond. We estimate the short-distance (SD) contribution to the decay amplitude in a region of the phase space which is around the point where all decay products have energy ∼ mb/3 in the rest frame of the B-meson. At lowest order in 1/mb, the B → Kγγ matrix elem...

Semantic-security of individual plaintext bits given the corresponding ciphertext is a fundamental notion in modern cryptography. We initiate the study of this basic problem for Order-Preserving Encryption (OPE), asking “what plaintext information can be semantically hidden by OPE encryptions?” OPE has gained much attention in recent years due to its usefulness for secure databases, and has rec...

In the conformal field theories having affine SL(2) symmetry, we study the operator product expansion (OPE) involving primary fields in highest weight representations. For this purpose, we analyze properties of primary fields with definite SL(2) weights, and calculate their twoand three-point functions. Using these correlators, we show that the correct OPE is obtained when one of the primary fi...

Acceptable therapeutic protocol in dentistry depends on the outcomes obtained with follow up. Operative procedural errors (OPE) may occur and they represent risk factors able to compromise a tooth or a dental implant. The aim of this study was to detect the OPE in endodontically treated teeth and dental implants, using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).Eight hundred and sixteen CBCT exams we...

Order-preserving encryption (OPE) produces ciphertexts that preserve the relative order of the underlying plaintexts. Thus, it is very suitable for range queries over encrypted outsourced data, as it is a popular case in cloud database scenarios. Unfortunately, most schemes suffer from infeasibility in practice due to requirements like hardly maintainable data structures or additional architect...

A bstract We present new asymptotic formulas for the distribution of OPE coefficients in conformal field theories. These involve products four or more and include light-light-heavy as well heavy-heavy-heavy contributions. They are derived from crossing symmetry six higher point functions on plane should be interpreted non-Gaussianities statistical coefficients. begin with a formula arbitrary op...
