It is becoming increasingly difficult to find a particular app on a smartphone due to the increasing number of apps installed. Consequently, it is important to be able to quickly and accurately predict the next app to be used. Two problems arise in predicting next-app usage from the app usage history. One is that some algorithms do not consider the increasing amount of training data available over time, which causes the prediction accuracy to decrease over time. The other is that although some algorithms do consider the aggregation of training data over time, they rebuild their models using all historical data once the amount of new data has reached a certain limit, thus greatly increasing the remodeling time. To reduce the remodeling time, we utilize an modified incremental k-nearest neighbours (IkNN) algorithm to implement a recommender system called Predictor. When the IkNN is used for predicting next-app usage, a new problem is found. When modeling the training data, the classification accuracy decreases as the number of app features increases. After studying the relationships among the contextual features of apps, we design a cluster effective value (CEV), which can compensate for the error induced by multidimensional features, to improve the classification accuracy. It is shown that the IkNN algorithm with the CEV achieves a higher and more stable prediction accuracy compared with that of the algorithm without the CEV. Furthermore, we proposed a the Cold Start strategy: an efficient dynamic collaborative filtering fusion algorithm that provides app Cold Start prediction. Large-scale experiments show that Predictor offers a reduced remodeling time and an improved prediction accuracy.

Aggregation-induced emission luminogens-encoded microspheres preparation and flow-through immunoaffinity chromatographic assay development for microcystin-LR analysis

Peng Zhai, Chen Liu, Gang Feng, Yuanhao Cao, Lei Xiang, Keshi Zhou, Ping Guo, Jianqing Li, Wenxiao Jiang

Summary: In this study, a novel fluorescent microsphere-based flow-through immunoaffinity chromatographic assay was developed to detect ultratrace microcystin-LR in water and aquatic products. The assay allowed for quantitation of microcystin-LR in less than 30 minutes using fluorescent microspheres encapsulating aggregation-induced emission luminogens. Colorimetric images were captured and analyzed, providing a limit of detection of 0.217 pg/mL and a limit of quantitation of 0.362 pg/mL in water and aquatic muscle samples. The developed immunoassays showed high average recovery rates and low relative standard deviations, making them a practical on-site screening method for microcystin-LR at picogram levels in water and aquatic samples.

Microcontroller Unit Chip Temperature Fingerprint Informed Machine Learning for IIoT Intrusion Detection

Tingting Wang, Kai Fang, Wei Wei, Jinyu Tian, Yuanyuan Pan, Jianqing Li

Summary: This article proposes a microcontroller unit (MCU) chip temperature fingerprint informed machine learning method, called MTID, for Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) intrusion detection. The method records the MCU temperature sequence of the node, analyzes the relationship between the temperature sequence and the computational complexity of the node, calculates temperature residuals, and constructs a temperature residuals dataset. A self-encoder-based intrusion detection model is then constructed to identify the security status of the nodes. Experimental analysis using Raspberry Pi 4B shows that the accuracy of MTID for intrusion detection reaches 89%.

To combat breast cancer and lung metastasis, researchers have developed a nanocomposite (Nb2C-BBR) based on functionalized niobium carbide nanosheets and berberine. The nanosheets have excellent photothermal conversion properties and drug delivery capacity, making them ideal for photothermal therapy. The nanocomposite showed favorable biocompatibility, reduced the required dose of nanosheets, and effectively destroyed cancer cells, inhibited metastasis, and induced minimal tissue damage, demonstrating its potential as a treatment approach for metastatic tumors.

Chiral photonic topological states in Penrose quasicrystals

Yingfang Zhang, Zhihao Lan, Liyazhou Hu, Yiqing Shu, Xun Yuan, Penglai Guo, Xiaoling Peng, Weicheng Chen, Jianqing LI

Summary: In this work, the existence of chiral topological electromagnetic edge states in Penrose-tiled photonic quasicrystals made of magneto-optical materials is demonstrated, without relying on the concept of bulk Bloch bands in momentum space. Despite the absence of bulk Bloch bands, some bandgaps in these photonic quasicrystals still could host unidirectional topological electromagnetic edge states immune to backscattering. Employing a real-space topological invariant based on the Bott index, it is shown that the bandgaps hosting these chiral topological edge states possess a nontrivial Bott index, depending on the direction of the external magnetic field. This work opens new possibilities for the study of topological states in photonic quasicrystals.
