Exploiting high-quality reconstruction image encryption strategy by optimized orthogonal compressive sensing by Heping Wen, Lincheng Yang, Chixin Bai, Yiting Lin, Tengyu Liu, Lei Chen, Yingchun Hu, Daojing He

“…Finally, the chaotic sequence generated based on 2D-LSCM is used to perform on odd-even interleaved diffusion and row-column permutation at bit-level to obtain the final ciphertext. The experimental results show that this scheme meets the cryptographic requirements of obfuscation, diffusion and avalanche effects, and also has a large key space, which is sufficient to resist brute-force cracking attacks. …”

Low-Complexity Modulation Format Identification Based on Amplitude Histogram Distributions for Digital Coherent Receivers by Ming Hao, Xuedong Jiang, Xingzhong Xiong, Roger Giddings, Wei He, Jianming Tang

“…The numerical simulation results showed that the proposed scheme was able achieve a 100% correct identification rate for all five modulation formats when their OSNR values were higher than the thresholds corresponding to the 20% FEC correcting bit error rate (BER) of 2.4 × 10⁻². To further explore the effectiveness of the proposed MFI scheme, proof-of-concept experiments in 28GBaud PDM-QPSK/-8QAM/-16QAM, and 21.5GBaud PDM-32QAM transmission systems were also undertaken, which showed that the proposed scheme as robust against fiber nonlinearities. …”

Probing Genuine Multipartite Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen Steering and Entanglement Under an Open Tripartite System by Wen-Yang Sun, Wen-Yang Sun, Wen-Yang Sun, Amin Ding, Haitao Gao, Le Wang, Juan He, Liu Ye

“…However, GME and GMS rapidly decay to death with the increase in the channel-noise factor and then come back to life soon after in the bit flip channel. Additionally, the results indicate that GMS is born of GME, but GME does not imply GMS, which means that the set of genuine multipartite steerable states is a strict subset of the set of genuine multipartite entangled states. …”

Development and application of wellbore heat transfer model considering variable mass flow by Jiangshuai Wang, Jun Li, Gonghui Liu, Shujie Liu, Meipeng Ren, Kuidong Luo, Shanxun Tao

“…The following major conclusions were drawn: (1) for dual-gradient drilling based on downhole separation, at the separator location, the annular fluid temperature does not decrease, but rather increase in the flow direction because of the inflow of hollow spheres; (2) a clear inflection point exists in the annular fluid temperature curve at the location where the separator would be; (3) the magnitude of the mutation of the temperature curve at the inflection point is considerably affected by the heat capacities of the hollow spheres and the pure drilling fluid; (4) under the same change in separation efficiency, distance between the bit and separator, flow rate, and thermal conductivity of formation, the variation range of the fluid temperature at the bottom hole is greater than that at the wellhead.…”
