The optimization is studied focusing on time complexity. Firstly, we have used the extreme gradient boosting model, and secondly, we have parallelized the machine learning algorithm to study the effect of using a different number of cores for the problem. We have classified the cybersecurity events’ maliciousness in a biclass and a multiclass scenario. All the experiments have been carried out with a well-known optimal set of features: the geolocation information of the IP address. However, the geolocation features of an IP address can change over time. Also, the relation between the IP address and its label of maliciousness can be modified if we test the address several times. Then, the models’ performance could degrade because the information acquired from training on past samples may not generalize well to new samples. This situation is known as concept drift. For this reason, it is necessary to study if the optimization proposed works in a concept drift scenario. The results show that the concept drift does not degrade the models. Also, boosting algorithms achieving competitive or better performance compared to similar research works for the biclass scenario and an effective categorization for the multiclass case.

Using some realistic assumptions and appropriate similarity transformations, the governing nonlinear partial differential equations were formulated and transformed into a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations and then numerically solved by using the shooting technique. Numerical results are displayed for dimensionless fluid velocity and temperature profiles, skin friction, and the local Nusselt number. The impacts of different governing physical parameters on these quantities are presented and discussed using graphs, tables, and a chart. For the specific range of shrinking sheet, the result shows that dual solutions exist, and temporal stability analysis is performed by introducing small disturbances to determine the stable solutions. It is detected that the upper branch solution is hydrodynamically stable and substantially realistic; however, the lower branch solution is unstable and physically unachievable. The fluid flow stability is obtained by enhancing the suction, surface slipperiness, and viscous dissipation parameters. However, augmenting the values of the Casson factor, Cu-H₂O nanoparticle volume fraction, porous medium, porous medium inertia, and convective heating parameters increases the blow-up stability of the fluid flow. The rate of heat transfer enhances with the increment in the Casson factor, porous medium, porous medium inertia, suction, velocity ratio, nanoparticle volume fraction, and convective heating parameters, whereas it reduces as the slipperiness of the surface and viscous dissipation parameters rise. Increment of Cu-H₂O nanoparticle volume fraction into the Casson fluid boosts the heat transfer enhancement rate higher for the shrinking sheet surface.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":100308,"journal":{"name":"Computational and Mathematical Methods","volume":"2023 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1155/2023/6671523","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79049515","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pashah","doi":"10.1155/2023/4839057","DOIUrl":"10.1155/2023/4839057","url":null,"abstract":"<div>\u0000 <p>Physical laws provide a mathematical description of a physical phenomenon. The mathematical description is generally in the form of differential equations with appropriate initial and boundary conditions, called initial boundary value problems. The dimensionless form of an initial boundary value problem is the first step for the solution to a class of problems. The approach is generally applied for closed-form (or analytical) solutions, whereas practical engineering problems can only be solved numerically. Commercial finite element packages are commonly used for the numerical solution of engineering problems with complexities caused by geometry, loading, and material properties. A numerical solution does not produce a formula; therefore, a completely new solution must be obtained even for minor changes in the data set. A single-dimensionless finite element analysis would solve a class of problems. Literature shows that user-developed finite element codes, not accessible for general use, are generally used for dimensionless finite element solutions. The availability of dimensionless analysis in a commercial finite element package would be very convenient. Commercial packages do not have built-in dimensionless formulations. However, all mainstream packages allow user-implemented formulation through different coding requirements. At least one researcher has used a commercial package for dimensionless analyses without coding. The work presents a guide on alternate implementation methods of dimensionless formulations in commercial packages. A sample case demonstrates the stepwise implementation of a dimensionless formulation without writing a customized finite element code.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":100308,"journal":{"name":"Computational and Mathematical Methods","volume":"2023 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1155/2023/4839057","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72507517","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The transmission dynamics have mainly been driven by variations in environmental factors and virus evolution, and the two are at the center of driving the different waves of the disease. It is thus important to understand the role of seasonality in the transmission dynamics of COVID-19. In this paper, a compartmental model with a time-dependent transmission rate is formulated and the stabilities of the steady states analyzed. We note that if <i>R</i>₀ &lt; 1, the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable, and the disease completely dies out; and when <i>R</i>₀ &gt; 1, the system admits a positive periodic solution, and the disease is uniformly or periodically persistent.

Furthermore, the fundamental reproduction number was determined using the next-generation matrix approach, and the sensitivity of model parameters was investigated to determine the most affecting parameter. The Jacobian matrix and the Lyapunov function are used to illustrate the local and global stability of the equilibrium locations. If the fundamental reproduction number is smaller than one, a disease-free equilibrium point is both locally and globally asymptotically stable, but endemic equilibrium occurs otherwise. The model exhibits forward and backward bifurcation. Moreover, we applied the optimal control theory to describe the optimal control model that incorporates three controls, namely, using treated bed net, treatment of infected with antimalaria drugs, and indoor residual spraying strategy. The Pontryagin’s maximum principle is introduced to obtain the necessary condition for the optimal control problem.

Each of the compressors’ components has routine maintenance tasks to avoid sudden failures. Hence, the significant advantages and benefits of performing preventative maintenance tasks in time are decreasing equipment downtime, saving additional costs, and improving the safety and reliability of the whole system. In this paper, anomaly classification and detection methods based on a neural network hybrid model named Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM)-Autoencoder (AE) is proposed to detect anomalies in sequence pattern of audio data, collected by multiple sound sensors deployed at different components of each compressor system for predictive maintenance. In research methodology, this paper has conducted experiments that employed different RNN architectures such as GRU, LSTM, Stacked LSTM, and Stacked GRU with various functions to create a baseline for model evaluation. Each architecture used audio signals dataset received from the compressor system for experiments to consider each neural network model’s performance. According to performance results, an optimal model for anomaly detection with the best performance scores has been proposed in this research. Experiments combined one-dimensional raw audio signal features using SC and Mel spectrogram features were fed to deep learning models to evaluate performance. Hence, such hybrid methods can effectively detect normal and anomaly audio signals collected from a compressor system, increasing the compressor system’s reliability and the sustainability of the gas production line.
