Article Abstract
This study assessed the utility of multiscale entropy (MSE), a complexity analysis of biological signals, to identify changes in dynamics of surface electroencephalogram (EEG) in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) that was correlated to cognitive and behavioral dysfunction. A total of 108 AD patients were recruited and their digital EEG recordings were analyzed using MSE methods. We investigate the appropriate parameters and time scale factors for MSE calculation from EEG signals. We then assessed the within-subject consistency of MSE measures in different EEG epochs and correlations of MSE measures to cognitive and neuropsychiatric symptoms of AD patients. Increased severity of AD was associated with decreased MSE complexity as measured by short-time scales, and with increased MSE complexity as measured by long-time scales. MSE complexity in EEGs of the temporal and occipitoparietal electrodes correlated significantly with cognitive function. MSE complexity of EEGs in various brain areas was also correlated to subdomains of neuropsychiatric symptoms. MSE analysis revealed abnormal EEG complexity across short- and long-time scales that were correlated to cognitive and neuropsychiatric assessments. The MSE-based EEG complexity analysis may provide a simple and cost-effective method to quantify the severity of cognitive and neuropsychiatric symptoms in AD patients.

Purpose: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is associated with acute postoperative effects that increase the risk of falls. These effects differ between the medial parapatellar (PP) and mid-vastus (MV) surgical techniques but have not been evaluated in terms of postural sway complexity. Loss of this complexity leads to increased randomness in the center of pressure and higher fall risk.

Metaheuristic optimization algorithms often face challenges such as complex modeling, limited adaptability, and a tendency to get trapped in local optima when solving complex optimization problems. To enhance algorithm performance, this paper proposes an enhanced Secretary Bird Optimization Algorithm (MESBOA) based on a precise elimination mechanism and boundary control. The algorithm integrates three key strategies: a precise population elimination strategy, which optimizes the population structure by eliminating individuals with low fitness and intelligently generating new ones; a lens imaging-based opposition learning strategy, which expands the exploration of the solution space through reflection and scaling to reduce the risk of local optima; and a boundary control strategy based on the best individual, which effectively constrains the search range to avoid inefficient searches and premature convergence.

In engineering structure performance monitoring, capturing real-time on-site data and conducting precise analysis are critical for assessing structural condition and safety. However, equipment instability and complex on-site environments often lead to data anomalies and gaps, hindering accurate performance evaluation. This study, conducted within a wind farm reinforcement project in Shandong Province, addresses these challenges by focusing on anomaly detection and data imputation for weld nail strain, anchor cable axial force, and concrete strain.

Metasurfaces, capable of manipulating light at subwavelength scales, hold great potential for advancing optoelectronic applications. Generative models, particularly Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), offer a promising approach for metasurface inverse design by efficiently navigating complex design spaces and capturing underlying data patterns. However, existing generative models struggle to achieve high electromagnetic fidelity and structural diversity.

Misalignment is among the most frequent mechanical faults in rotating electrical machines, often resulting in partial or complete motor failure over time. To tackle this issue, the present study proposes an innovative methodology for diagnosing misalignment faults in rotating electrical machines. The method integrates the dual-tree complex wavelet transform with a refined composite multiscale fluctuation dispersion entropy algorithm (DTCWT-RCMFDE) for feature extraction, combined with the least-squares support vector machines algorithm (LSSVM) for fault classification.
