Patients who suffer from this condition are put at risk by several surgical treatments required to replace the batteries in CIEDs. To extract the ideal feature extraction and classification of Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals from CIED records, the proposed methodology uses a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) along with a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) classifier. This research work aims to solve this issue by providing a novel technique intended to improve the battery life, longevity, and energy efficiency of CIEDs. Moreover, the noise in the recorded ECG data is considerably reduced by the Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD). A novel integrated optimization approach that combines the Nesterov Accelerated Gradient (NAG) algorithm and Particle Harmonic Search (PHS) is deployed to improve constraints of the RNN-LSTM model. The hybrid PHS-NAG algorithm combines the generic outcomes of PHS's global search capabilities with NAG's local optimization advantages. MATLAB is used for the assessment of the formulated method's performance in improving CIED energy efficiency and extending battery life. The comparative outcomes clearly indicate that the RNN-LSTM model gets 94.5% accuracy and the PHS-NAG technique achieves 98.3% efficiency, which proves the effectiveness of the proposed methodology.","PeriodicalId":7219,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Theory and Simulations","volume":"73 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145084002","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With the miniaturisation of electronics, thin films of materials a few nanometres to a few microns thick are commonly used. Only a few methods exist to measure the orthogonal in-plane components of thermal conductivity in anisotropic films, and one that has recently been demonstrated is the pseudo steady-state 3ω method. In this work, a computational model of pseudo steady-state 3ω measurement chips has been developed and evaluated. Thin films of an anisotropic material are modeled with respect to the measurement of in-plane thermal conductivity in orthogonal directions. Through modeling the measurement of an anisotropic polymer film, it is found that this method can be remarkably accurate in obtaining the orthogonal components of thermal conductivity. The measurement error, caused by heat leakage at the edge of the measurement area, can be as low as 4%. The dependence on material and measurement parameters is discussed, and it is shown that the model can also be used to correct for the heat leakage at the edge of the measurement area.","PeriodicalId":7219,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Theory and Simulations","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145089936","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, a design and comprehensive analysis of a broadband, high-transmission metasurface (MS) bandpass filter (BPF) is presented that incorporates an ABA tri-layer structure. Tailored for X-band applications, this BPF utilizes electromagnetic (EM) wave tunneling and strong magnetic field coupling to deliver exceptional performance. The unit cell of the BPF is composed of a square-aperture (SA) situated between two identical layers of four-square-patches (FSPs), sandwiched between dielectric substrates. The experimental results reveal that the designed BPF demonstrates a transmission coefficient exceeding −3 dB within the frequency range of 9.06–11.14 GHz, achieving a relative bandwidth of 20.6%. This performance closely aligns with the predictions obtained from both the equivalent circuit model (ECM) and the finite element method (FEM) simulation, thereby validating the accuracy and effectiveness of the design approach. Additional numerical simulations have verified that the designed BPF exhibits robust performance across a broad range of incident angles, encompassing both transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) polarizations.

Using finite element method (FEM) simulations, the interplay of geometry, polarization, and leaky mode resonances (LMR) in modulating the absorption and reflection characteristics of different morphologies of silicon nanopillars (SiNPs) is investigated. Here, nanopillars with kinked morphology are introduced, a hybrid design combining features of straight and slanted SiNPs in detail, and demonstrate exceptional polarization insensitivity and superior absorption efficiency. The results reveal that kinked SiNPs outperform their counterparts by sustaining high absorption efficiency across both transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) polarizations, leveraging their structural discontinuities to excite hybridized guided and leaky modes. These modes enhance light trapping by increasing the optical path length and promoting stronger light-matter interactions. Parametric studies further emphasize the critical role of geometric factors in optimizing light absorption, including diameter, inclination angle, and interpillar distance. The kinked SiNPs may be utilized for exceptional performance as light-trapping substrates because of the enhanced localized electric fields in their surroundings that can enhance the signal sensitivity. This enhanced functionality underscores the potential of kinked SiNPs for a variety of uses, from spectroscopy to renewable energy technologies.","PeriodicalId":7219,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Theory and Simulations","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145083900","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study focuses on Cz furnaces that utilize resistance heating. Data‐driven techniques including Decision Trees (DT), Symbolic Regression (SR), Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), and Shapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) are applied to investigate the relationships between furnace design, process parameters, and crystal quality during bulk crystal growth across a range of materials and scales. DT and SR are employed for their interpretability, ANN for its predictive accuracy, and SHAP to enhance model transparency by quantifying feature importance. The analysis explores the correlation between solid–liquid interface deflection, the Voronkov criterion, and 21 input parameters describing furnace geometry, gas composition, crystal and radiation shield thermophysical properties, and growth conditions. The training dataset consists of 632 computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations of Cz growth involving silicon, germanium, gallium antimonide, and indium antimonide.

In this work, a comprehensive theoretical model is developed to explore the coupled influence of electrochemical reactions and double‐diffusion in the mixed‐mode motion of a Casson fluid within a porous, geometrically non‐uniform, and asymmetric microchannel. The formulation incorporates radiative heat transfer, internal heat generation, an oblique magnetic field, thermophoretic motion, and Brownian diffusion. Suitable non‐dimensional parameters are introduced to simplify the governing equations, enabling the derivation of an exact analytical solution for the electric potential, while the homotopy perturbation method is applied to determine velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles. Results show that increasing thermal and solutal Grashof numbers reduces the flow near one wall while enhancing it on the opposite side under electroosmotic conditions, with radiation and thermophoresis exerting significant influence on temperature distribution. Additionally, an increase in the electroosmotic velocity parameter from 1 to 2 leads to a 5.79% rise in the skin‐friction coefficient at the left channel wall. This investigation offers a novel integration of electroactive peristaltic propulsion and magnetohydrodynamic effects in a chemically reactive and radiative framework, delivering insights that can inform the development of high‐performance, energy‐efficient microfluidic systems for applications in medical diagnostics, chemical processing at micro‐scales, and thermal management in miniaturized electronic devices.","PeriodicalId":7219,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Theory and Simulations","volume":"50 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145071921","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
