Raw and pre-treated greaves and rinds, two meat-processing wastes, were assessed for biochemical methane potential (BMP). Combinations of temperature (25, 55, 70 and 120 °C), NaOH (0.3 g g(-1) waste volatile solids) and lipase from Candida rugosa (10 U g(-1) fat) were applied to promote wastes hydrolysis, and the effect on BMP was evaluated. COD solubilisation was higher (66% for greaves; 55% f...

Each of two parties P I and P 2 holds an n -bit input, x and y, respectively. They wish to privately compute the value off (x 'Y). That is, PI should not learn any additiorlal infonnation about y (in the infonnationtheoretic sense) other than what follows from its input x and the function value, f (x 'Y), and similarly, P 2 ~hou1d not learn any additional infonnation about x . In this paper we ...
