Steganography is a technique that makes it possible to hide additional information (payload) in the original signal (cover work). This paper focuses on hiding information in a speech signal. One of the major problems with steganographic systems is ensuring synchronization. The paper presents four new and effective mechanisms that allow achievement of synchronization on the receiving side. Three of the developed methods of synchronization operate directly on the acoustic signal, while the fourth method works in the higher layer, analyzing the structure of the decoded steganographic data stream. The results of the research concerning both the evaluation of signal quality and the effectiveness of synchronization are presented. The signal quality was assessed based on both objective and subjective methods. The conducted research confirmed the effectiveness of the developed methods of synchronization during the transmission of steganographic data in the VHF radio link and in the VoIP channel.

Introduction: Xanthine oxidase (XO) catalyzes the oxidation of both hypoxanthine and xanthine in the last two steps of the purine metabolic pathway, serving as a rate-limiting enzyme for uric acid production as well as a key target for the treatment of gout and other hyperuricemia-related conditions.

Areas Covered: This paper reviews XO inhibitors in patents from 2021 to the present. We summarize in detail the structural classes and characteristics, in vitro and in vivo biological results, and structure‒activity relationships of synthetic inhibitors, as well as the sources, specific structures, research methods, and biological activities of XO inhibitors from natural products.

Background: Interpersonal outcomes and mental health problems are closely associated. However, their reciprocal influence has not been directly examined while considering the temporal stability of these constructs, as well as shared and unique variance associated with internalising, externalising and attention problems. Using random intercept cross-lagged panel models (RI-CLPM), we tested the hypotheses that negative bidirectional associations at the between-person and negative cross-lagged effects at the within-person level would emerge between interpersonal outcomes (friendship quality and perceived popularity) and mental health problems (i.

Objective: Breastfeeding is associated with improved health outcomes in infancy and throughout adulthood as breast milk encompasses diverse immune-active factors that affect the ontogeny of the immune system in breastfed (BF) infants. Nevertheless, the impact of infant feeding on the immune system is poorly understood, and a comprehensive understanding of immune system development in human infants is lacking. In this observational study, we addressed the effects of different infant feeding approaches on cell populations and parameters in the peripheral blood of infants to gain insight into the innate and adaptive arms of the immune system.
