Fast bidirectionally-decodable arithmetic coding with chaotic redundancy and threshold control by Yi YAN, Guofang TU, Can ZHANG, Shaoshuai GAO, Deyuan CHEN

“…Although the JPEG2000 compression standard has high coding efficiency,its error resistance and security can’t meet the requirements of practical application.Based on this,a fast bidirectionally-decodable arithmetic coding method with chaotic redundancy and threshold control was proposed.At the encoder,the chaotic map controlled the probabilities of multiple redundant symbols to enhance the security of arithmetic coding.At the decoder,threshold control and bidirectional decoding were combined to realize fast decoding based on maximum a posteriori estimation.Simulation results show that the proposed method improves the reconstructed image quality with better error resistance and security.…”

A successful case of vascular hitch procedure in adulthood: A simpler alternative for the vascular obstruction of the pyelo-ureteral junction by El Abidi Hamza, Ibrahimi Ahmed, Lakssir Jihad, Tariqi Reda, Mikou Mohamed Ali, Boualaoui Imad, El Sayegh Hashem, Nouini Yassine

“…Congenital obstruction of the upper urinary tract is often caused by the pyeloureteral junction syndrome, the lower polar vessel being the most common extrinsic etiology.We report on a case that was successfully treated using the Vascular HITCH, an alternative method with lower morbidity than Anderson and Hynes pyeloplasty considered the gold standard procedure.Our objective is to outline the aforementioned method and illustrate its ease of use and possible efficacy in carefully chosen adult patients.A very specific set of patients who meet pre- and post-operative criteria are required for vascular HITCH. …”

Design and implementation of proxy-protected proxy signature based on SM2 by Qing-xiao GUO, Da-wei ZHANG, Liang CHANG, Xiao-dong LIU, Jing-wen SONG

“…Based on the SM2 digital signature standard,a proxy-protected proxy signature scheme was designed.Through the design of the agent authorization mechanism,the protection of the proxy signer was realized.The proxy signature was realized by the proxy signer who represents the original signer through the improvement of the SM2 digital signature algorithm.The security analysis shows that the designed algorithm is verifiable,identifiable,distinguishable,non-repudiation,and strong unforgeability.Finally,the program was implemented using the C language and the Polarssl library,and the performance was compared with the SM2 digital signature.The analysis shows that the algorithm has good usability in performance.…”

The Hybrid BFGS-CG Method in Solving Unconstrained Optimization Problems by Mohd Asrul Hery Ibrahim, Mustafa Mamat, Wah June Leong

“…Hence, a new hybrid method, known as the BFGS-CG method, has been created based on these properties, combining the search direction between conjugate gradient methods and quasi-Newton methods. In comparison to standard BFGS methods and conjugate gradient methods, the BFGS-CG method shows significant improvement in the total number of iterations and CPU time required to solve large scale unconstrained optimization problems. …”

CleanCap M6 inhibits decapping of exogenously delivered IVT mRNA by Zachary F. Mandell, Andrew Ujita, Jordana Henderson, Anthony Truong, Coleen Vo, Farinaz Rezvani, Nona Abolhassani, Alexandre Lebedev, Chunping Xu, Inna Koukhareva, Stephanie Ramos, Kate Broderick, Benjamin Hudson, Jeff Coller

“…Using in vitro approaches, we found that the co-transcriptional cap analog m7G3'OMepppm6A2′OMepG, CleanCap M6, resists enzymatic decapping and that this decreased susceptibility to decapping correlated with substantially increased protein expression in vivo compared to mRNAs capped using existing industry standards.…”
