As one of the main causes of sickness and mortality, heart disease, also known as cardiovascular disease, must be detected early in order to be prevented and treated. The rapid development of computer technology presents an opportunity for the cross-combination of medicine and informatics. A novel stacking model called SDKABL is presented in this work. It uses three classifiers, namely K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), Decision Tree (DT), and Support Vector Machine (SVM) at the base layer and the Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory based on Attention Mechanisms (ABiLSTM) model at the meta layer for the ultimate prediction. For lowering the temporal complexity and enhancing the model’s accuracy, the dimensionality reduction approach is seen to be crucial. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was utilized in SDKABL to minimize dimensionality and facilitate feature fusion. Using several performance measures, including precision, F1-score, accuracy, recall, and Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) score, the performance of SDKABL was compared to that of other independent classifiers. The experimental findings demonstrate that our proposed model combining individual classifiers with the stacking method helps improve the prediction model’s accuracy. Full article

The very low frequency (VLF) communication system is characterized by a limited transmit bandwidth. Due to the low operating frequency, the dimensions of VLF antennas are significantly smaller than the corresponding wavelength. Therefore, VLF antennas are considered electrically small antennas (ESAs) with high Q values and narrow bandwidth. To achieve broadband VLF communication, synchronous tuning technology is commonly employed. In this study, we focus on analyzing the performance of the switching device in the synchronous tuning system using coupled inductors and IGBT as core components. By considering the equivalent circuit of the controlled source associated with coupled inductors, we propose an adaptive input impedance optimization algorithm based on the variable capacitor (hereinafter referred to as VC-ADIO) to address issues arising from coupling coefficient variations and internal parameters within IGBTs that affect primary loop input impedance. The radiated power of the VLF antenna is improved effectively. Full article
