Antigenicity, Solubility and Digestibility of β-Lactoglobulin Combined with Different Plant Polyphenols by Liyan NONG, Xueming LIU, Jingrong CHENG, Jinhao ZOU, Wenhong CAO, Daobang TANG, Huaigu YANG

“…In this study, non-covalent, alkaline, and enzymatic methods, were adopted to construct the complex or conjugated compounds of β-lactoglobulin combined by plant phenolic extracts from tea residue, mulberry pomace, longan pericarp, longan seed, grape seed and grape pomace. By means of the determination of allergenicity in vitro (through enzyme linked immunosorbent assay and immunoblotting), the six kind of plant polyphenols extracts could reduce the antigenicity (specific IgG binding capacity) of β-lactoglobulin to different extents (under alkaline and enzymatic treatment), in which longan pericarp and seed polyphenols exhibited the best (the mean of antigenic inhibition rate: 76.8%, 77.2%, respectively). …”

Improvement Differential fault attack on TWINE by Yang GAO, Yong-juan WANG, Lei WANG, Tao WANG

“…A new method of differential fault attack was proposed,which was based on the nibble-group differential diffusion property of the lightweight block cipher TWINE.On the basis of the statistical regularity of the S-box differential distribution,the lower bound of the probability of recovering round key was calculated.Then expectation of number of fault injections when restoring seed key can be estimated.Theoretical proof and experimental results both show that an average of nine times of fault injections in 33,34 and 35 rounds bring about the seed key recovered completely.Finally,the improvement of the fault injection location was proposed,which enhances the feasibility of the genuine attack.…”

Design, Manufacture and Evaluation of Oat De-Husking Machine by Kaumars Merikhi, Hekmat Rabbani, sohbat Bahraminejad

“…The lower belt has a lower speed than the upper belt, the seeds fall on it and move forward. While the upper belt has a higher speed, it causes the rotational movement of the seed by moving on the seeds, and while the seed is between the two belts, it is under pressure, and due to this pressure and rotational movement, the seed skin is broken and separated. …”
