We kick off this month’s issue with an article on solar tracking. Nathan and Nicholas introduce their amazing project, the ‘Reflective Solar Tracker’, a solar cell with the brains of a Raspberry Pi, capable of chasing the sun to improve energy capture by up to 140%! Andy Baker returns following his successful quad-copter series and this time he is featuring his intelligent night light. Andy describes building this project to reassure his son at night and banish those ‘under-bed monsters’. It's a great mix of both the PiBow case and PiGlow add on-board. Following its recent success on Kickstarter we examine the Laika Explorer, a digital Input/Output board for the Raspberry Pi with the genius additions of USB and expansion ports. We welcome back Richard Wenner for his second article for The MagPi, where he continues his tutorial on using SQL by explaining how to insert and view stored data. Another welcome return is Philip Munts where he describes how to interface the Raspberry Pi to LEGO® Power Function motors. We also have more upcoming Raspberry Pi events from around the world and more book reviews to sink your teeth into.

  • Issue 720 PD Crosses Country from Couch Ed
    August 31, 2020, Issue 720 PD Crosses Country From Couch Ed. Note: Veteran programmer and CRB board officerJohn Shomby recently took a stationary road trip through Country radio at Country Aircheck’s behest. Here’s what he found: During my years as a day-to-day PD, I rarely had enough time to spend with my own radio station, let alone others in my market or across the country. But with unexpected time on my hands (who can relate?), I have been afforded the chance to sample Country stations in various markets from the comfort of my home office. I heard lots of good, solid and safe Country radio, but is that where we want to be heading into 2021 – considering everything that’s changing around us? Methodology: In partnership with Alexa, I set a goal of listening to at least one Country station in each of the top 50 markets. I Nauti By Nature: Warner/WAR’s Chris Janson (r) receives a John Shomby managed to actually get through the top 55 plaque commemorating “Buy Me A Boat” being certified 3x markets, making sure to get a balanced cross- platinum from the label’s Ben Kline Friday night (8/28) during section of stations owned by various companies.

  • App Miscategorization Detection: a Case Study on Google Play
    This article has been accepted for publication in a future issue of this journal, but has not been fully edited. Content may change prior to final publication. Citation information: DOI 10.1109/TKDE.2017.2686851, IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON KNOWLEDGE AND DATA ENGINEERING 1 App Miscategorization Detection: A Case Study on Google Play Didi Surian, Suranga Seneviratne, Aruna Seneviratne, and Sanjay Chawla Abstract—An ongoing challenge in the rapidly evolving app market ecosystem is to maintain the integrity of app categories. At the time of registration, app developers have to select, what they believe, is the most appropriate category for their apps. Besides the inherent ambiguity of selecting the right category, the approach leaves open the possibility of misuse and potential gaming by the registrant. Periodically the app store will refine the list of categories available and potentially reassign the apps. However, it has been observed that the mismatch between the description of the app and the category it belongs to, continues to persist. Although some common mechanisms (e.g. a complaint-driven or manual checking) exist, they limit the response time to detect miscategorized apps and still open the challenge on categorization. We introduce FRAC+: (FR)amework for (A)pp (C)ategorization. FRAC+ has the following salient features: (i) it is based on a data-driven topic model and automatically suggests the categories appropriate for the app store, and (ii) it can detect miscategorizated apps. Extensive experiments attest to the performance of FRAC+. Experiments on GOOGLE Play shows that FRAC+’s topics are more aligned with GOOGLE’s new categories and 0.35%-1.10% game apps are detected to be miscategorized.
