In this paper, we present a method to automate the design of an efficient metasurface, which widens the bandwidth of the substrate. This strategy maximizes the potential of the substrate for the application of broad-band absorption. The design is achieved by utilizing the coding metasurface and a combination of two types of intelligent algorithms. First, inspired by the coding metasurface, a large number of structures are generated to act as potential metasurface unit patterns by randomly generating the associated binary codes. Then, the binary codes are directly substituted as optimization objects into a genetic algorithm to find the optimal metasurface. Finally, a neural network is introduced to replace the finite element analysis method to correlate the binary codes with the absorbing bandwidth. With the participation of neural networks, the genetic algorithm can find the optimal solution in a considerably short time. This method bypassed the prerequisite physical knowledge required in the process of metasurface design, which can be used for reference in other applications of the metasurface.

In recent years, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) have become vital because of their versatility in numerous applications. Nevertheless, the attain problems like inherent noise, and limited node computation capabilities, result in reduced sensor node lifespan as well as enhanced power consumption. To tackle such problems, this study develops a Modified-Distributed Arithmetic-Offset Binary Coding-based Adaptive Finite Impulse Response (MDA-OBC based AFIR) framework.

Introduction: Somalia is continuing to recover from three decades of underdevelopment, political instability, civil unrest, and protracted humanitarian crises. However, Somalia has one of the lowest maternal health indicators in the world. For instance, the maternal mortality ratio is 621 per 100,000 live births.

Background: In Egypt, approximately 10% of preterm deliveries occur between 32 and fewer than 37 weeks, leading to high neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admissions. Preterm infants often face oral feeding difficulties due to immature development, which can lead to extended hospital stays and increased health risks.

Aim: To assess neonatal nurses' performance in terms of the transition to oral feeding in preterm infants, focusing on knowledge, practices, and attitudes.

Motivation: Recent advancements in parallel sequencing methods have precipitated a surge in publicly available short-read sequence data. This has encouraged the development of novel computational tools for the de novo assembly of transcriptomes from RNA-seq data. Despite the availability of these tools, performing an end-to-end transcriptome assembly remains a programmatically involved task necessitating familiarity with best practices.

A cutting-edge neural network approach for predicting the thermoelectric efficiency of defective gamma-graphyne nanoribbons.

Sci Rep

January 2025

Department of Physics & Hunan Institute of Advanced Sensing and Information Technology, Xiangtan University, Xiangtan, 411105, People's Republic of China.

This study predicts the thermoelectric figure of merit (ZT) for defective gamma-graphyne nanoribbons (γ-GYNRs) using binary coding, convolutional neural networks (CNN), long short-term memory networks (LSTM), and multi-scale feature fusion. The approach accurately predicts ZT values with only 500 initial structures (3% of 16,512 candidates), achieving an R above 0.91 and a mean absolute error (MAE) of 0.
