Angular offset distributions during fixation are, more often than not, multimodal

Polyphenols in foods are more complex than often thought.

Dietary polyphenols show a great diversity of structures, ranging from rather simple molecules (monomers and oligomers) to polymers. Higher-molecular-weight structures (with molecular weights of > 500) are usually designated as tannins, which refers to their ability to interact with proteins. Among them, condensed tannins (proanthocyanidins) are particularly important because of their wide dist...

Insight solutions are correct more often than analytic solutions.

How accurate are insights compared to analytical solutions? In four experiments, we investigated how participants' solving strategies influenced their solution accuracies across different types of problems, including one that was linguistic, one that was visual and two that were mixed visual-linguistic. In each experiment, participants' self-judged insight solutions were, on average, more accur...

Additivity dominance: Additives are more potent and more often lexicalized across languages than are “subtractives”

Judgments of naturalness of foods tend to be more influenced by the process history of a food, rather than its actual constituents. Two types of processing of a “natural” food are to add something or to remove something. We report in this study, based on a large random sample of individuals from six countries (France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, UK and USA) that additives are considered defini...

A few more functions that are not APN infinitely often

We consider exceptional APN functions on F2m , which by definition are functions that are APN on infinitely many extensions of F2m . Our main result is that polynomial functions of odd degree are not exceptional, provided the degree is not a Gold number (2 +1) or a Kasami-Welch number (4 −2k +1). We also have partial results on functions of even degree, and functions that have degree 2 + 1. ∗Re...
