Diversity, Fairness, and Sustainability in Population Protocols [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2021
Over the years, population protocols with the goal of reaching consensus have been studied in great depth. However, many systems in the real-world do not result in all agents eventually reaching consensus, but rather in the opposite: they converge to a state of rich diversity. Consider for example task allocation in ants. If eventually all ants perform

Scientific Opinion on re‐evaluation of copper complexes of chlorophylls (E 141(i)) and chlorophyllins (E 141(ii)) as food additives

open access: yesEFSA Journal, 2015
Copper complexes of chlorophylls (Cu‐chlorophylls) (E 141(i)) and copper complexes of chlorophyllins (Cu‐chlorophyllins) (E 141(ii)) are prepared from sources that could not be regarded as edible plant material or food (grass, lucerne, nettle) for humans.
