Its adverse impact on human health and the global economy cannot be exaggerated. To improve the efficacy of vector control measures, there is a critical need for mechanisms that can forecast dengue cases with greater accuracy and urgency than before. So, we employ some deep learning techniques using the previous ten years of weekly dengue cases in Laos. A hybrid model combining CNN and stacked LSTM (BiLSTM) is applied along with CNN, LSTM, BiLSTM, and ConvLSTM in this work. Comparing all the outputs we have derived, hybrid CNN and 1 stacked BiLSTM outperform other deep learning models with the one-step-ahead prediction. Further, we have concluded that hybrid CNN and 1 stacked BiLSTM can considerably boost dengue prediction and can be applied in other dengue-prone regions.</p>","PeriodicalId":787,"journal":{"name":"The European Physical Journal B","volume":"97 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141868968","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The pristine WSe<sub>2</sub> monolayer is identified as a nonmagnetic direct band gap semiconductor with a band gap of 1.55 eV. Upon substituting Mn for W in the WSe<sub>2</sub> monolayer, the resulting structure exhibits enhanced stability, indicated by a negative formation energy. The Mn-doped monolayer-WSe<sub>2</sub> adopts a semi-metallic nature, deviating from the nonmagnetic characteristics of the pristine 2D—WSe<sub>2</sub>, showcasing impurity bands dispersion near the Fermi level. The total magnetic moment within the nearest neighboring interactions of the Mn impurity atoms increases notably and it is attributed to the electron-correlation effect in the high spin state under the GGA + U approximation. However, this correlation effect proves insignificant on the total magnetic moment for the second nearest neighboring interactions, yielding consistent outcomes in both GGA and GGA + U approximations. The transition of ferromagnetic to antiferromagnetic states occurs within the temperature range of 400 K–450 K for low Mn-atom concentrations (below 12.5%), indicating long-range ferromagnetic ordering crucial for high-temperature 2D-diluted magnetic semiconductors. However, at high concentrations of impurity atoms, the temperature drops below room temperature (220 K in 22.2%) in the doped monolayer WSe<sub>2</sub>, showing weak magnetic interaction. Lastly, the optical properties of the doped system is studied by applying polarization in perpendicular and parallel directions to the plane of the monolayer.</p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":787,"journal":{"name":"The European Physical Journal B","volume":"97 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141781519","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Each agent’s compliance with regulation is modeled as a string of bits, which also governs the probability of connection with other agents. Each agent has an initial share of the total wealth that changes over the course of transactions. At each simulation step, the poorest agent takes action to achieve a wealth change at the expense of its first neighbors in the network. Non-conformity to regulation is punished with a probability parameter representing the strength of regulatory enforcement.
