Abstract: An architecture for semantic search over encrypted data that improves upon existing encrypted data search techniques by providing a solution that is space-efficient on both the cloud and client sides, considers the semantic meaning of the user's query, and returns a list of documents accurately ranked by their similarity to the query. Different search schemes are presented based on S3C architecture (namely, FKSS, SKSS, and KSWF) that are fine-tuned for different types of datasets. The system requires only a single plaintext query to be entered and is easily portable to thin-clients, making it simple and quick for users to use. The system is also shown to be secure and resistant to attacks.

Abstract: A method for reducing muscle damage and/or oxidative stress in active mammals as disclosed. In one embodiment, the mammals are administered a carnitine supplement. The L-carnitine supplement may be administered without any other pharmaceutical or drug products. After physical activity the L-carnitine supplement can lower myoglobin, TBARS, and creatine kinase in the bloodstream.

Abstract: The present invention relates to supplementing the diets to sows during the periods of gestation, lactation, and breeding by feeding L-carnitine and chromium. The supplementation enhances pork productivity by increasing the number of pigs born alive in the subsequent reproductive cycle. Sow diets of this invention include L-carnitine and L-carnitine salts and trivalent chromium salts, such as chromium picolinate and chromium nicotinate. L-Carnitine is generally added to the swine feed formulation in the amount of from about 20 to about 1500 ppm, and the trivalent chromium salt is generally added to the swine feed formulation in the amount of from about 20 ppb to about 1000 ppb. The invention also relates to supplemented sow diets and feed supplement formulation.
