Abstract: A verification apparatus acquires a source code for multiparty computation, while changing a combination of options settable to a multiparty computation compiler, compiles the source code for each combination of options to generate a plurality of multiparty computation executable codes, selects at least one multiparty computation executable code from the plurality of multiparty computation executable codes as a verification code and provides the at least one verification code to a verification environment of multiparty computation, generates an evaluation index with respect to an execution result of at least one verification code in the verification environment, and selects at least one recommended code from the plurality of multiparty computation executable codes, based on the evaluation index corresponding to at least one verification code and outputs the selected recommended code.

Abstract: Method of improving the quality of an egg from a female adult fowl comprising adding an effective egg improving amount of at least one tea polyphenol to a feed composition for the fowl and administering the composition to the fowl. Eggs produced by such method have a reduced crude fat content, a reduced peroxide content, an enhanced Haugh Unit value, an enhanced degree of transparency of egg white, an enhanced foam-forming ability and a pure white color in foam and egg white when the eggs are cooked. Also provided is an improved feed composition for improving the quality of an egg from a female adult fowl, wherein the improvement comprises the feed composition containing an effective egg improving amount of at least one tea polyphenol.
