Use of varenicline and nicotine replacement therapy in people with and without general practitioner-recorded dementia: retrospective cohort study of routine electronic medical reco... by Amy Taylor, Tim Jones, Taha Itani, Richard Martin, Gemma Taylor, Kyla Thomas, Neil Davies

“…Objectives Our primary objective was to estimate smoking prevalence and prescribing rates of varenicline and nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) in people with and without general practitioner (GP)-recorded dementia. Our secondary objective was to assess and compare quit rates of smokers with versus without GP-recorded dementia who were prescribed varenicline or NRT for smoking cessation.Design A retrospective cohort study based on the analysis of electronic medical records within the Clinical Practice Research Datalink (2007–2015).Setting 683 general practices in England.Participants People with and without GP-recorded dementia, aged 18 years and have a code indicating that they are a current smoker.Intervention Index prescription of varenicline or NRT (from 1 September 2006).Outcome measures The primary outcomes were smoking prevalence and prescribing rates of varenicline and NRT (2007–2015). …”

Dual functional radar communication based on serial time division CC-CDMA by Yubo LI, Jian CUI, Junchao FENG, Xiaoyu CHEN

“…In order to improve the performance of target detection and solve the problem of self-interference and mutual interference between multiple targets and multiple users, a radar communication integration system based on serial time division CC-CDMA was proposed.Firstly, the code division multiplexing mechanism was used to adjust the spread spectrum sequence of different subcodes in the complementary code to the signals on different time slices at the transmitter through the generalized PTM sequence to generate the integrated signal of radar communication.Secondly, the receiving end of the radar processed the data twice, and the point-by-point minimization method was used to fuse the processing results to improve the target detection capability of the radar subsystem.Lastly, at the receiving end of communication, the subcodes corresponding to the spread spectrum sequence at the transmitting end were used to de-amplify the received signals, and the bit error ratio was further reduced by interleaved coding and Hamming coding.Simulation results show that compared with other radar communication integration systems, the proposed system has lower bit error rate, higher Doppler resolution and better side lobe suppression performance.…”
