Artificial dragonfly algorithm in the Hopfield neural network for optimal Exact Boolean k satisfiability representation.

This study proposes a novel hybrid computational approach that integrates the artificial dragonfly algorithm (ADA) with the Hopfield neural network (HNN) to achieve an optimal representation of the Exact Boolean kSatisfiability (EBkSAT) logical rule. The primary objective is to investigate the effectiveness and robustness of the ADA algorithm in expediting the training phase of the HNN to attain an optimized EBkSAT logic representation. To assess the performance of the proposed hybrid computational model, a specific Exact Boolean kSatisfiability problem is constructed, and simulated data sets are generated.

A theoretical approach for a new design of an ultrasensitive angular plasmonic chemical sensor using black phosphorus and aluminum oxide architecture.

In this study, the biosensing capabilities of conventional and hybrid multilayer structures were theoretically examined based on surface plasmon resonance (SPR). The transfer matrix method is adopted to obtain the reflectance spectra of the hybrid multilayer structure in the visible region. In this regard, the considered SPR sensor is configured as, [prism (CaF)/AlO/Ag/AlO/2D material/AlO/Sensing medium].

Periodic and quasi-periodic one-dimensional phononic crystal biosensor: a comprehensive study for optimum sensor design.

The resonant acoustic band gap materials have introduced an innovative generation of sensing technology.
