A highly electroactive bilayer composite film sensing interface of Prussian blue (PB)/gold nanoparticles-chitosan (AuNPs-CS) was modified on Au electrode through electrochemical deposition and coating method followed by integrating glucose oxidase (GOx) into the interfacial matrix to fabricate a high-performance glucose biosensor. The excellent electrocatalytic ability of the PB/AuNPs-CS composite film sensing interface for H2O2 was evaluated, which has a broad linear response of 0.01-7.95 mM, with a low detection limit (LOD) 0.269 mu M and a high sensitivity of 511.82 mu AmM(-1)cm(-2). The enhanced electrocatalytic activity of this sensing interface for H2O2 is attributed to the protection from the network CS film to PB and the synergistic effect of PB and AuNPs. Consequently, an electrochemical biosensing interface was constructed with GOx immobilized as a model enzyme. The PB/GOx-AuNPs-CS biosensing nanocomposite film was capable of a fast steady-state response time (within 2 s) and high sensitivity to glucose with a wide linear range of: 0.025-2.00 mM (R-2 = 0.99), with a sensitivity of 40.41 mu AmM(-1)cm(-2) and a LOD of 1.62 mu M;and 2.00-6.50 mM (R-2 = 0.98), with a sensitivity of 8.90 mu AmM(-1)cm(-2) and a LOD of 7.16 mu M. The biosensor has good anti-interference and selectivity, which provides a promising wide linear range platform for clinical blood glucose detection in the future.

Recently, there have been some attempts of Transformer in 3D point cloud classification. In order to reduce computations, most existing methods focus on local spatial attention,but ignore their content and fail to establish relationships between distant but relevant points. To overcome the limitation of local spatial attention, we propose a point content-based Transformer architecture, called PointConT for short. It exploits the locality of points in the feature space(content-based), which clusters the sampled points with similar features into the same class and computes the self-attention within each class, thus enabling an effective trade-off between capturing long-range dependencies and computational complexity. We further introduce an inception feature aggregator for point cloud classification, which uses parallel structures to aggregate high-frequency and low-frequency information in each branch separately. Extensive experiments show that our PointConT model achieves a remarkable performance on point cloud shape classification. Especially, our method exhibits 90.3% Top-1 accuracy on the hardest setting of ScanObjectN N. Source code of this paper is available at https://***/yahuiliu99/PointC onT.

The study of influential spreaders has become a growing area of interest within network sciences due to its critical implications in understanding the robustness and vulnerability of complex networks. There is a significant degree of focus on the factors that dictate the decision-making process for identifying these influential spreaders in highly complex networks, given their crucial role in network performance and security. Previous research methodologies have offered a deep understanding of the importance of spreaders, also referred to as nodes. These methods, however, have primarily depended on either neighborhood or path information to identify these spreaders. They have often studied local network data, or adopted a more broad-based, global view of the network. Such an approach may not provide a comprehensive understanding of the overall network structure and the relationships between nodes. Addressing this limitation, our research introduces Neighborhood and Path Information-based Centrality (NPIC) algorithm. This innovative centrality algorithm combines both neighborhood and path information to identify influential spreaders in a complex network. By incorporating these two significant aspects, NPIC provides a more holistic analysis of network centrality, enabling a more accurate identification of influential spreaders. We have subjected NPIC to rigorous testing using numerous simulations on both real and artificially-created datasets. These simulations applied an epidemic model to calculate the spreading efficiency of each node within its given environment. Our simulations, conducted across a wide range of synthetic and real-world datasets, demonstrated that NPIC outperforms existing methodologies in identifying influential spreaders in corresponding networks.

The environmental threat posed by stibnite is an important geoenvironmental issue of current *** better understand stibnite oxidation pathways,aerobic abiotic batch experiments were conducted in aqueous solution with varyingδ^(18)O_(H_(2)O) value at initial neutral pH for different lengths of time(15-300 days).The sulfate oxygen and sulfur isotope compositions as well as concentrations of sulfur and antimony species were *** sulfur isotope fractionation factor(△^(34)S_(SO4-stibnite))values decreased from 0.8‰to-2.1‰during the first 90 days,and increased to 2.6‰at the 180 days,indicating the dominated intermediate sulfur species such as S_(2)O_(3)^(2-),S0,and H_(2)S(g)involved in Sb2S3 oxidation *** incorporation of O into sulfate derived from O_(2)(~100%)indicated that the dissociated O_(2)was only directly adsorbed on the stibnite-S sites in the initial stage(0-90 days).The proportion of O incorporation into sulfate from water(27%-52%)increased in the late stage(90-300 days),which suggested the oxidation mechanism changed to hydroxyl attack on stibnite-S sites promoted by nearby adsorbed O_(2)on stibnite-Sb *** exchange of oxygen between sulfite and water may also contributed to the increase of water derived O into SO42-.The new insight of stibnite oxidation pathway contributes to the understanding of sulfide oxidation mechanism and helps to interpret field data.

With its generality and practicality, the combination of partial charging curves and machine learning(ML) for battery capacity estimation has attracted widespread attention. However, a clear classification,fair comparison, and performance rationalization of these methods are lacking, due to the scattered existing studies. To address these issues, we develop 20 capacity estimation methods from three perspectives:charging sequence construction, input forms, and ML models. 22,582 charging curves are generated from 44 cells with different battery chemistry and operating conditions to validate the performance. Through comprehensive and unbiased comparison, the long short-term memory(LSTM) based neural network exhibits the best accuracy and robustness. Across all 6503 tested samples, the mean absolute percentage error(MAPE) for capacity estimation using LSTM is 0.61%, with a maximum error of only 3.94%. Even with the addition of 3 m V voltage noise or the extension of sampling intervals to 60 s, the average MAPE remains below 2%. Furthermore, the charging sequences are provided with physical explanations related to battery degradation to enhance confidence in their application. Recommendations for using other competitive methods are also presented. This work provides valuable insights and guidance for estimating battery capacity based on partial charging curves.

Traversability evaluation is the foundation and core of unmanned platforms for scene understanding and autonomous navigation, whose successful completion relies on the analysis of the platform's characteristics and the semantic and geometric features of the surrounding environment. This topic has been reviewed by many literatures, which are characterized by a single perspective and lack comprehensive evaluation frameworks. Thus, the concept and developmental trajectory of traversability evaluation are initially outlined in this paper, distinguishing it from other issues, while constructing an evaluation framework based on two categories: direct assessment and downstream task assessment. Subsequently, traversability evaluation methods are classified based on multiple dimensions, including sensor types, robot types, usage scenarios, and learning approaches. On the basis of the constructed evaluation framework, comparisons are made among existing algorithms in terms of performance and runtime. Subsequently, a summary is provided on commonly used features and their mainstream computation methods in terrain evaluation. Additionally, open-source data sets in this field and projects for scene construction and algorithm validation are compiled and organized. Finally, an analysis is conducted on the development direction and trends, emphasizing the urgent need to establish standardized evaluation systems and comparison baselines. Furthermore, it is imperative that various environmental and platform information be comprehensively integrated into algorithms, while also ensuring that simulation, demonstration, and exploration are incorporated into a unified framework to enhance the robot's learning capability.
