Super-Efficiency-Malmquist Model-Based Efficiency Evaluation of Logistics Distribution Center considering Truck Traffic Restriction by Jiao Yao, Xiurong Wu, Hao Li, Beibei Xie, Cong Zhang

“…This paper takes 20 logistics distribution centers as the research objects and uses economic factors, transportation factors, quality of distribution center business activities, and quality of customer service as the primary input indicators; selects eight indicators such as construction cost, transportation cost, labor cost, road facilities, accessibility, business demand, number of laborers, and customer satisfaction as the secondary input indicators; chooses distribution time and profit as the output indicators; and measures the static efficiency of logistics distribution centers from two perspectives, including the traditional unconstrained super-efficiency model and the truck- restricted conditions, using the super-efficiency model of data envelopment analysis (DEA). …”

Generation-based linguistic steganography with controllable security by Jiameng MEI, Yanzhen REN, Lina WANG

“…Generation-based linguistic steganography hides secret information through controllable modification and mapping of words in the candidate pool.It usually consists of three parts: text generation model, candidate pool probability distribution truncation and steganographic embedding algorithm.Due to the huge difference in the probability distribution of the text generation model outputs at different times, existing algorithms usually use top-k or top-p methods to truncate the probability distribution of words in the candidate pool to reduce the low-probability generated words and improve the security of the generated text.When the probability distribution of the candidate pool output by the text generation model is over-concentrated or over-flat, the original top-k or top-p truncation method will be not enough to cope with the change of the probability distribution, and it is easy to generate low-probability words or ignore high-probability words.This will lead to abnormal security metrics of the generated text.To address these problems, a generation-based linguistic steganography with controllable security was proposed.When selecting generated words with controllability in the candidate pool according to secret information, the proposed algorithm was based on the parameter constraints of perplexity and KL divergence.The truncation of the candidate pool probability distribution made all words satisfy the parameter constraints, which improved the security of the generated text.Experiment results showed that the perplexity and KL divergence of the steganographic text generated by the proposed algorithm are controllable.Under the same KL divergence, the perplexity of the text generated by the proposed algorithm is reduced by up to 20%～30% compared with the existing algorithm.This algorithm could control the perplexity and KL divergence at the same time, and make the generated text satisfy both perplexity and KL divergence when the indicators are reasonable.When using the three text steganalysis algorithms to detect the generated steganographic text, the detection accuracy is about 50%, showing excellent statistical security.…”

Synchronized diaphragmatic stimulation: a case report of a novel extra‐cardiac intervention for chronic heart failure by Lee R. Goldberg, Ana Jorbenadze, Tamaz Shaburishvilli, Michael J. Mirro, Marat Fudim, Michel Zuber, Simon F. Stämpfli, Felix C. Tanner, Paul Erne, John G. Cleland

“…SDS provides imperceptible chronic stimulation of the diaphragm through a laparoscopically implanted system consisting of an implantable pulse generator and two sensing/stimulating leads affixed to the inferior surface of the diaphragm delivering imperceptible R‐wave gaited pulses that alter intrathoracic pressure improving ventricular filling and cardiac output. We describe, in a man with a history of myocardial infarctions resulting in heart failure and persistent New York Heart Association Class III symptoms despite standard therapies, the successful implantation of SDS resulting in improved quality of life, N‐terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide, cardiac function, and exercise tolerance through 12 months of follow‐up. …”
