We consider the problem of quantifying the information shared by a pair of random variables X1,X2 about another variable S. We propose a new measure of shared information, called extractable shared information that is left monotonic; that is, the information shared about S is bounded from below by the information shared about f(S) for any function f . We show that our measure leads to a new non...

This data article is related to the research article entitled, "Antioxidant potential in non-extractable fraction of dried persimmon (Diospyros kaki Thunb.)" (Matsumura et al., 2016) [1]. We investigated antioxidant activities of the non-extractable fraction of dried persimmon fruits in vitro and in vivo. We evaluated both extracted fraction and non-extractable fraction, and reported that non-e...

The cadmium(Cd), copper(Cu) and lead(Pb) accumulation, as well as their relative content of different chemical forms in Sagittaria sagittifolia L. and Potamogeton crispus L. were determined. The results showed that both the plants had the ability to accumulate large amounts of Cd, Cu and Pb, and they absorbed metals in dose-dependent manners. The roots of S. sagittifolia appeared more sensitive...

Extractability is one of the main and central tools for design and analysis of modern cryptographic protocols. We say a function is extractable if any adversary that outputs a point in the range of the function is guaranteed to ”know” a corresponding preimage. This research presents a short report on the existence of extractable one-way functions based on a recent paper by Bitansky et al. [BCPR...

Some improvements in ECIS88 like the use of expansion of the potentials in term of Bessel functions lead to ECIS94 and to write the Notes on ECIS94 before I had to retire on the 1/9/1994. However, on the suggestion of Arjan Koning, the code was modi ed to deal with continuum for compound nucleus calculations. This point, existing in ABAREX was not in ANLECIS. Now, ECIS95 should do the same kind...

To understand the toxicity of Pb-polluted shooting fields, oribatid mites Platynothrus peltifer were exposed to shooting field soils containing 47-2398 mg Pb/kg dry weight (DW) and having pH(CaCl2) 3.2-6.8 and 3.8-13% organic matter (OM). Exposures also included artificial soils with different pH and OM contents as well as two natural soils used as controls. Exposures lasted for 2 (acute) and 1...

Salt-soluble protein extraction, important in forming meat emulsions, is dependent on several factors including species of the protein source. The purpose of this experiment was to quantify the amount of salt-soluble proteins in various muscles of three species commonly used in meat products beef, pork, and chicken. Pork and beef serratus ventralis muscles (dark) and the semitendinosus muscles ...
