This paper explores the global spread of the COVID-19 virus since 2019, impacting 219 countries worldwide. Despite the absence of a definitive cure, the utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) methods for disease diagnosis has demonstrated commendable effectiveness in promptly diagnosing patients and curbing infection transmission. The study introduces a deep learning-based model tailored for COVID-19 detection, leveraging three prevalent medical imaging modalities: computed tomography (CT), chest X-ray (CXR), and Ultrasound. Various deep Transfer Learning Convolutional Neural Network-based (CNN) models have undergone assessment for each imaging modality. For each imaging modality, this study has selected the two most accurate models based on evaluation metrics such as accuracy and loss. Additionally, efforts have been made to prune unnecessary weights from these models to obtain more efficient and sparse models. By fusing these pruned models, enhanced performance has been achieved. The models have undergone rigorous training and testing using publicly available real-world medical datasets, focusing on classifying these datasets into three distinct categories: Normal, COVID-19 Pneumonia, and non-COVID-19 Pneumonia. The primary objective is to develop an optimized and swift model through strategies like Transfer Learning, Ensemble Learning, and reducing network complexity, making it easier for storage and transfer. The results of the trained network on test data exhibit promising outcomes. The accuracy of these models on the CT scan, X-ray, and ultrasound datasets stands at 99.4%, 98.9%, and 99.3%, respectively. Moreover, these models’ sizes have been substantially reduced and optimized by 51.93%, 38.00%, and 69.07%, respectively. This study proposes a computer-aided-coronavirus-detection system based on three standard medical imaging techniques. The intention is to assist radiologists in accurately and swiftly diagnosing the disease, especially during the screen

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to present a family of robust metasurface-oriented wireless power transfer systems with improved efficiency and size compactness. The effect of geometric and structural features on the overall efficiency and miniaturisation is elaborately studied, while the presence of substrate losses is, also, considered. Moreover, to further enhance the performance, possible means for reducing the operating frequency, without comprising the unit-cell size, are proposed. Design/methodology/approach: The key element of the design technique is the edge-coupled split-ring resonators patterned in various metasurface configurations and optimally placed to increase the total efficiency. To this goal, a rigorous three-dimensional algorithm, launching a new high-order prism macroelement, is developed in this paper for the fast evaluation of the required quantities. The featured scheme can host diverse approximation orders, while it is drastically more economical than existing methods. Hence, the demanding wireless power transfer systems are precisely modelled via reduced degrees of freedom, without the need to conduct large-scale simulations. Findings: Numerical results, compared with measured data from fabricated prototypes, validate the design methodology and prove its competence to provide enhanced metasurface wireless power transfer systems. An assortment of optimized 3 x 3 and 5 x 5 metamaterial setups is investigated, and interesting deductions, regarding the impact of the inter-element gaps, the distance between the transmitting and receiving components and the substrate losses, are derived. Also, the proposed vector macroelement technique overwhelms typical implementations in terms of computational burden, particularly when combined with the relevant commercial software packages. Originality/value: Systematic design of advanced real-world wireless power transfer structures through optimally selected metasurfaces with fully controllable electro
