Single-channel blind separation of co-frequency modulated signals based on Gibbs sampler by Yong YANG, Dong-ling ZHANG, Hua PENG, Shi-long TU

“…A Gibbs-sampler-based separation algorithm was proposed for single-channel co-frequency digital-modulated signals，which were received in non-cooperative ways.The probability density samples of unknown symbol sequences can be obtained by statistic method，and the computation complexity was not growing exponentially with the increase of channel order.With special emphasis on the separation algorithms of single pair of symbols，multiple pair of symbols and the tracking of channel responses.Moreover，the separation performance between Gibbs sampler and per-survivor processing(PSP) algorithm were analyzed and compared in detail.Simulation results show that，compared with PSP algorithm with L=4 for two co-frequency QPSK-modulated signals，Gibbs sampler can be nearly 17 times lower in computation complexity when the approximately performance is obtained.…”

Privacy-preserving scheme for logistics systems based on 2D code and information hiding by Wen-bo YAN, Yuan-zhi YAO, Wei-ming ZHANG, Neng-hai YU

“…With regard to the user privacy leakage problem in existing logistics systems,a privacy-preserving scheme for logistics systems based on 2D code and information hiding was proposed.The information hiding tech-nique was used in the proposed scheme to embed the user privacy information into the 2D code on the logistics waybill to achieve access control.To secure the user privacy information,a JPEG image stenographic algorithm for 2D code was designed.Experimental results demonstrate that this algorithm can guarantee the high undetectable performance and the stego 2D code can be correctly decoded.Using the proposed scheme,the institution or the per-son that has the access right can obtain the important privacy information so that the express can be delivered cor-rectly and the user privacy can be preserved.…”

Understanding Community Pharmacists’ Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices Regarding Biosimilar Drugs: A Cross-Sectional Survey by Anan S. Jarab, Walid Al-Qerem, Karem H. Alzoubi, Shrouq R. Abu Heshmeh, Yazid N. Al Hamarneh, Eman Alefishat, Salahdein Aburuz

“…Future efforts should focus on comprehensive educational programs that deliver up-to-date clinical information and emphasize the benefits of biosimilar drugs, specifically targeting male pharmacists, those with postgraduate degrees, pharmacy owners, pharmacists with less work experience, and those who dispense fewer prescriptions per day. These interventions are essential for enhancing pharmacists’ knowledge and attitudes and, hence, improved practice with respect to biosimilar drugs.…”
