UV‐Triggered Polydopamine Secondary Modification: Fast Deposition and Removal of Metal Nanoparticles

Since the first report in 2007, polydopamine (PDA) coating has shown great potential as a general and versatile method to create functional nanocoatings on arbitrary substrates. Slow kinetics and poor controllability of the coating and secondary modification processes, however, have limited the further development of this attractive method. In this work, it is demonstrated that UV irradiation at 365 nm significantly accelerates the process of secondary modification of a PDA‐coated surface. The kinetics of both thiol and amine modifications of PDA are increased 12‐fold via UV irradiation, while the kinetics of metal ion reduction at the PDA interface is increased more than 550 times. Moreover, it is demonstrated that irradiating a PDA/metal nanoparticle composite surface with UV light at 254 nm leads to dissolution of the deposited metal nanoparticles (MNPs). Finally, grayscale metallic patterns, dynamic deposition, and removal of MNPs on PDA surface are realized with the proposed method.     

Size Switchable Nanoclusters Fueled by Extracellular ATP for Promoting Deep Penetration and MRI‐Guided Tumor Photothermal Therapy

Protein‐based theranostic agents (PBTAs) exhibit superior performance in the diagnosis and therapy of cancers. However, the in vivo applications of PBTA are largely limited by undesired accumulation, penetration, or selectivity. Here, an ATP‐supersensitive protein cluster is fabricated for promoting PBTA delivery and enhancing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)‐guided tumor photothermal therapy. Gd³⁺‐ and CuS‐coloaded small bovine serum albumin nanoparticles (GdCuB) are synthesized as the model protein with a size of 9 nm and are encapsulated into charge switchable polycations (DEP) to form DEP/GdCuB nanoclusters of 120 nm. In blood circulation, DEP/GdCuB significantly extends the half‐lifetime and thereby enhances the tumor accumulation of GdCuB. When the clusters reach the tumor site, the extracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) can effectively trigger the release of GdCuB, resulting in tumoral deep penetration as well as the activation of T₁‐weighted MRI (r₁ value switched from 2.8 × 10^?3 to 11.8 × 10^?3 m ^?1 s^?1). Furthermore, this delivery strategy also improves the tumoral photothermal therapy efficacy with the MRI‐guided therapy. The study of ATP‐activated nanoclusters develops a novel strategy for tumor deep penetration and on/off imaging of PBTA by size switchable technology, and reveals the potential for MRI‐guided therapy of cancers.     

Genetic algorithm‐based content distribution strategy for F‐RAN architectures

Fog radio access network (F‐RAN) architectures provide markedly improved performance compared to conventional approaches. In this paper, an efficient genetic algorithm‐based content distribution scheme is proposed that improves the throughput and reduces the transmission delay of a F‐RAN. First, an F‐RAN system model is presented that includes a certain number of randomly distributed fog access points (F‐APs) that cache popular content from cloud and other sources. Second, the problem of efficient content distribution in F‐RANs is described. Third, the details of the proposed optimal genetic algorithm‐based content distribution scheme are presented. Finally, simulation results are presented that show the performance of the proposed algorithm rapidly approaches the optimal throughput. When compared with the performance of existing random and exhaustive algorithms, that of the proposed method is demonstrably superior.     

MPS二极管的少子特性仿真

混合pin/肖特基(MPS)二极管是广泛应用于电子电路中的快恢复功率器件,具有高击穿电压、快速开关和正向电流大等特性。对MPS二极管漂移区的少数载流子的特性进行了仿真分析。仿真结果表明,MPS二极管的p^+区向漂移区注入的少数载流子浓度随外加正向电压和pn结面积占元胞总面积比例的增大而增大。虽然漂移区的少数载流子改变了MPS二极管的工作模式,增大了电流,但是存储在漂移区的少数载流子增大了反向峰值电流和恢复时间,进而增大了功耗并降低了关断速度。折中考虑正向电流和反向恢复特性,可获得具有正向电流大、反向峰值电流小和反向恢复时间短的MPS二极管。     

Model-guided measurement-side control for quantized block compressive sensing

To progressively provide the competitive rate-distortion performance for aerial imagery,a quantized block compressive sensing(QBCS) framework is presented,which incorporates two measurement-side control parameters:measurement subrate(S) and quantization depth(D).By learning how different parameter combinations may affect the quality-bitrate characteristics of aerial images,two parameter allocation models are derived between a bitrate budget and its appropriate parameters.Based on the corresponding allocation models,a model-guided image coding method is proposed to pre-determine the appropriate(S,D) combination for acquiring an aerial image via QBCS.The data-driven experimental results show that the proposed method can achieve near-optimal quality-bitrate performance under the QBCS framework.

Edge Caching in Blockchain Empowered 6G

The sixth generation(6G)of wireless cellular networks is expected to incorporate the latest developments in network infrastructure and emerging advances in technology.In the age of 6G,edge caching technology will evolve towards intelligence,dynamics,and security.However,the security problems of edge caching,including data tampering and eavesdropping,are seldomly considered in most literatures.In this paper,we consider the two-hop edge caching where the blockchain and physical layer security technologies are adopted to prevent data from being tampered with and eavesdropped.We design blockchain-based framework to guarantee the reliability of important data such as the frequency of contents and jointly optimize content caching probability and redundancy rate to maximize the secure transmission probability.Extensive simulation shows that our optimization scheme can significantly improve the secure transmission probability of edge cache network,whether facing the threat of independent eavesdropping or joint eavesdropping.
