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

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...

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...
