The enhanced artificial sum frequency generation (SFG) is realized by graphene-gold metamolecules at the mid-infrared without any natural nonlinear material. The unit cell of the proposed metamolecules combines an inner graphene cut-wire meta-atom and an outer gold split-ring resonator meta-atom. In order to achieve high efficiency of the artificial SFG, not only the novel material of graphene with high mobility is used as the constituent material, but also the double resonances at two fundamental frequencies are excited to form an intensive magnetic Lorentz force. Both time domain response and frequency domain response are analyzed numerically. Results show that the SFG efficiency is at least two orders of magnitude larger than that of second-harmonic generation, which involves only a single resonance. The tunability of graphene on the SFG is studied as well. This work will facilitate the engineering of nonlinear metamaterials, whose nonlinear properties can be customized by artificial structuring, in their practical applications.

The advent of millimeter-wave (mmWave) massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, coupled with reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs), presents a significant opportunity for advancing wireless communication technologies. This integration enhances data transmission rates and broadens coverage areas, but challenges in channel estimation (CE) remain due to the limitations of the signal processing capabilities of RIS. To address this, we propose an adaptive channel estimation framework comprising two algorithms: log-sum normalized least mean squares (Log-Sum NLMS) and hybrid normalized least mean squares-normalized least mean fourth (Hybrid NLMS-NLMF).

We introduce the alchemical harmonic approximation (AHA) of the absolute electronic energy for charge-neutral iso-electronic diatomics at fixed interatomic distance d0. To account for variations in distance, we combine AHA with this ansatz for the electronic binding potential, E(d)=(Eu-Es)Ec-EsEu-Esd/d0+Es, where Eu, Ec, Es correspond to the energies of the united atom, calibration at d0, and the sum of infinitely separated atoms, respectively. Our model covers the two-dimensional electronic potential energy surface spanned by distances of 0.

The advent of endovascular thrombectomy has significantly improved outcomes for stroke patients with intracranial large vessel occlusion, yet individual benefits can vary widely. As demand for thrombectomy rises and geographic disparities in stroke care access persist, there is a growing need for predictive models that quantify individual benefits. However, current imaging methods for estimating outcomes may not fully capture the dynamic nature of cerebral ischemia and lack a patient-specific assessment of thrombectomy benefits.

Decomposition-based multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) are popular methods utilized to address many-objective optimization problems (MaOPs). These algorithms decompose the original MaOP into several scalar optimization subproblems, and solve them to obtain a set of solutions to approximate the Pareto front (PF). The decomposition approach is an important component in them.
