A novel chaotic interleaving algorithm for mobile wireless channels by Xianping WANG, Hui CAO

“…Interleaving technique is an efficient technique to resist serious burst errors over mobile wireless fading channels.To resist 2 dimensionality burst errors effectively,a novel chaotic interleaving algorithm based on Baker map was proposed.In the proposed scheme,the binary source sequence was converted to the data matrix,and then the data matrix was dispersed randomly by using the chaotic Baker map approach,in order to realize the function of transforming 2 dimensionality long bust error into the short 1 dimensionality short bust error after de-interleaving.In additional,the proposed algorithm was combined with the convolution code based on Viterbi decoding,and was applied into the scenario of convolutional codes (2,1,3) and the scenario of (2,1,7) separately for a performance comparison.The simulation results show that the performance of the proposed algorithm outperforms better than the traditional algorithms under image transmission over mobile wireless channel.Moreover,the anti-fading capability of the proposed algorithm grows as the packet length increases,while reducing the complexity significantly.Finally,the chaotic interleaver can also enhance every transmitted packet's security with different secret keys.…”

A Novel Image Encryption Scheme Based on PWLCM and Standard Map by Yucheng Chen, Chunming Tang, Zongxiang Yi

“…In the past decades, considerable attention has been paid to the chaos-based image encryption schemes owing to their characteristics such as extreme sensitivity to initial conditions and parameters, pseudo-randomness, and unpredictability. However, some schemes have been proven to be insecure due to using a single chaotic system. …”

Orthoplastic surgery research: Three decades of growth and future directions by Alexander F. Dagi, Michael B. Amrami, Nikhil A. Gangoli, Dylan K. Kim, Jarrod T. Bogue

“…While meta-analyses support the clinical benefits of orthoplastic management for complex fractures, showing reduced surgical interventions and infection rates, the evidence base relies predominantly on retrospective studies, with no randomized controlled trials identified. Key opportunities to strengthen the field include conducting prospective studies, expanding research beyond lower extremity trauma to areas such as upper extremity reconstruction, oncologic applications, and paediatric care, addressing healthcare access disparities, evaluating cost-effectiveness across different healthcare systems, and developing standardized guidelines beyond the UK.…”
