    Abstract In-situ enlargement of super-large-span tunnels can intensify excavation-induced unloading in the surrounding rock, increasing deformation demand and failure risk during construction. This study combines laboratory model tests with FLAC3D simulations to evaluate the stabilizing role of prestressed anchor cables and to establish an energy-balance framework for support optimization. Comparative model tests of existing and enlarged tunnel sections, with and without anchors, show that reinforcement increases load-carrying capacity, reduces displacement, and confines damage to more localized zones. The numerical simulations reproduce displacement fields, shear-strain localization, and plastic-zone evolution with good agreement against the experimental observations. The energy More >

    Nagwan Abdel Samee1, Ahmed Fathy2,*, Mohamed A. Mahdy3, Maali Alabdulhafith1, Essam H. Houssein4,5
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2025.069931
    Abstract This research proposes an improved Puma optimization algorithm (IPuma) as a novel dynamic reconfiguration tool for a photovoltaic (PV) array linked in total-cross-tied (TCT). The proposed algorithm utilizes the Newton-Raphson search rule (NRSR) to boost the exploration process, especially in search spaces with more local regions, and boost the exploitation with adaptive parameters alternating with random parameters in the original Puma. The effectiveness of the introduced IPuma is confirmed through comprehensive evaluations on the CEC’20 benchmark problems. It shows superior performance compared to both established and modern metaheuristic algorithms in terms of effectively navigating the… More >

    Abstract Automated detection of Motor Imagery (MI) tasks is extremely useful for prosthetic arms and legs of stroke patients for their rehabilitation. Prediction of MI tasks can be performed with the help of Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals recorded by placing electrodes on the scalp of subjects; however, accurate prediction of MI tasks remains a challenge due to noise that is incurred during the EEG signal recording process, the extraction of a feature vector with high interclass variance, and accurate classification. The proposed method consists of preprocessing, feature extraction, and classification. First, EEG signals are denoised using a… More >

    Abstract Parkinson’s disease remains a major clinical issue in terms of early detection, especially during its prodromal stage when symptoms are not evident or not distinct. To address this problem, we proposed a new deep learning 2-based approach for detecting Parkinson’s disease before any of the overt symptoms develop during their prodromal stage. We used 5 publicly accessible datasets, including UCI Parkinson’s Voice, Spiral Drawings, PaHaW, NewHandPD, and PPMI, and implemented a dual stream CNN–BiLSTM architecture with Fisher-weighted feature merging and SHAP-based explanation. The findings reveal that the model’s performance was superior and achieved 98.2%, a More >

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2026.075386
    Abstract Vaginal delivery is a fascinating physiological process, but also a high-risk process. Up to 85%–90% of vaginal deliveries lead to perineal trauma, with nearly 11% of severe perineal tearing. It is a common occurrence, especially for first-time mothers. Computational childbirth plays an essential role in the prediction and prevention of these traumas, but fast personalization of the pelvis and floor muscles is challenging due to their anatomical complexity. This study introduces a novel shape-prediction-based personalization of the pelvis and floor muscles for perineal tearing management and childbirth simulation. 300 subjects were selected from public Computed… More >

    Abstract Visual diagnosis of skin cancer is challenging due to subtle inter-class similarities, variations in skin texture, the presence of hair, and inconsistent illumination. Deep learning models have shown promise in assisting early detection, yet their performance is often limited by the severe class imbalance present in dermoscopic datasets. This paper proposes CANNSkin, a skin cancer classification framework that integrates a convolutional autoencoder with latent-space oversampling to address this imbalance. The autoencoder is trained to reconstruct lesion images, and its latent embeddings are used as features for classification. To enhance minority-class representation, the Synthetic Minority Oversampling… More >

    Abstract Mortality prediction in respiratory health is challenging, especially when using large-scale clinical datasets composed primarily of categorical variables. Traditional digital twin (DT) frameworks often rely on longitudinal or sensor-based data, which are not always available in public health contexts. In this article, we propose a novel proto-DT framework for mortality prediction in respiratory health using a large-scale categorical biomedical dataset. This dataset contains 415,711 severe acute respiratory infection cases from the Brazilian Unified Health System, including both COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 patients. Four classification models—extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), logistic regression, random forest, and a deep neural… More >

    Multimodal Signal Processing of ECG Signals with Time-Frequency Representations for Arrhythmia Classification

    Yu Zhou1, Jiawei Tian2, Kyungtae Kang3,*
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2026.077373
    (This article belongs to the Special Issue: Recent Advances in Signal Processing and Computer Vision)
    Abstract Arrhythmias are a frequently occurring phenomenon in clinical practice, but how to accurately distinguish subtle rhythm abnormalities remains an ongoing difficulty faced by the entire research community when conducting ECG-based studies. From a review of existing studies, two main factors appear to contribute to this problem: the uneven distribution of arrhythmia classes and the limited expressiveness of features learned by current models. To overcome these limitations, this study proposes a dual-path multimodal framework, termed DM-EHC (Dual-Path Multimodal ECG Heartbeat Classifier), for ECG-based heartbeat classification. The proposed framework links 1D ECG temporal features with 2D time–frequency More >
