Synchronization properties were probed under diverse conditions, with modifications to parameters such as the number of metronomes, the tabletop material, the additional weight on the platform, and the friction coefficient between the roller and platform. Experimental outcomes demonstrate that the synchronization is significantly influenced by the platform's movement, which is subsequently determined by the properties of both the platform and roller. An analytical modeling approach provided insights into these effects, particularly when analyzing two metronomes placed on a flat platform equipped with rollers. Central to the findings is the revelation that both the coefficient of friction and the mass of supplementary weights play crucial roles in shaping synchronization behavior, a conclusion in line with experimental observations. The numerical segment of the study leveraged the Kuramoto model. Observations centered on the phase variation of resonators and a time-responsive order parameter, shedding light on the role of coupling strength in synchronization and its absence. Overall, this study furnishes a thorough theoretical and experimental exploration of mechanical metronome synchronization, targeting an enhanced understanding and application of the observed phenomenon.","PeriodicalId":506830,"journal":{"name":"Theoretical and Natural Science","volume":"79 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140077587","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Integration is described as the inverse process of differentiation, which is used to determine the original function. Riemann integration is a specific type of definite integral applied to find the exact area under a function graph between two limits in a closed interval. Lebesgue integration, on the other hand, provides a more generalized framework for integration theory. Integrals are essential in mathematical modelling and analysis tools. Studying and comparing the similarities and differences between these two integration methods can help us better understand the essence and properties of integrals, so as to more accurately apply integration methods to solve practical problems. This paper provides a systematic analysis of the basics, definitions, concepts, and properties of Riemann integral and Lebesgue integral. Reasoning, proofs, and examples are consolidated to explain the properties and characteristics of these two integral methods.

Inspired by the theory regarding orbifold notation developed by John Conway, we understand and analyze the theory of the classification of symmetrical patterns in three different spaces. One of the triumphs was the full understanding of 2-dimensional planar symmetries, precisely, the classification theorem of wallpaper groups. Then we use the same way to classify the symmetrical patterns in spherical and hyperbolic spaces. There were also scattered theories on the general notion called crystallographic groups. In this paper, we reproduce the classical result that there are 17 types of wallpaper groups using a topological method; we also conclude that there are 14 family cases in the spherical space and infinite conditions in the hyperbolic spaces. During this process, we first consider the three different spaces, then, analyze the symmetrical patterns case by case. The characteristic we consider to classify these patterns is orbifold; finally, we use the formulas to calculate the result.","PeriodicalId":506830,"journal":{"name":"Theoretical and Natural Science","volume":"44 17","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140259235","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper investigates the application of seven machine learning methods in network intrusion detection, and evaluates each model by indicators such as precision, accuracy, recall and F1 score. The results show that XGBoost, Random Forest and Decision Tree models have the best prediction results, while Support Vector Machines and Plain Bayes models have poor prediction results. XGBoost, Random Forest and Decision Tree models all belong to the category of integrated learning, which have strong generalisation ability and robustness, can handle high-dimensional and complex datasets and are not prone to overfitting. In addition, they are able to handle non-linear relationships and are suitable for complex classification problems. Catboost and logistic regression models have better prediction results, but their prediction results are also affected by feature engineering. They may under- or over-fit when dealing with high-dimensional, complex datasets. Support Vector Machines and Plain Bayesian Models have poorer prediction results, which is related to their limitations. Support vector machines may experience computational difficulties when dealing with high-dimensional, complex datasets and are weak in dealing with non-linear relationships. The plain Bayesian model assumes that the features are independent of each other, which may not hold true in practical applications, thus affecting the prediction results. The conclusions of this paper are instructive for research and application in the field of network security, and can provide reference and inspiration for research in related fields.","PeriodicalId":506830,"journal":{"name":"Theoretical and Natural Science","volume":"30 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140259547","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thermal resistance and pumping power are two significant parameters to assess the behavior of microchannel heat sink. In this review, heat transfer and fluid behavior have been concentrated mathematically in a microchannel heat sink with the counter stream and different shape of the groove. Four unique cases are discussed in this paper, microchannel heat sink with rectangular groove (R-MCHS), microchannel heat sink with circular groove (C-MCHS), microchannel heat sink with triangular groove (T-MCHS), and straight microchannel heat sink (S-MCHS). Three-dimensional numerical simulation is conducted with the Reynolds number, Re, shifting from 100 to 500 with expanding 100 for each step. As the coolant, Single-stage fluid water streams in the heat sink. The thermal and hydraulic performance of these cases are evaluated by comparing the average temperature of the solid domain, Nusselt number, Thermal Resistance, and Pumping Power. Contrasted with the S-MCHS, the thermal performance of MCHSs with grooves is increased, and the Nusselt number increased at the furrow area. Likewise, the pumping power is bigger for all cases with grooves contrasted and S-MCHS. In all grooved cases, R-MCHS has the lowest average temperature on the bottom surface and the highest average temperature in the solid domain. The C-MCHS has the least thermal resistance for all Re between 100 to 500. In light of the component, the plan standards to move toward the presentation of inclination are proposed.","PeriodicalId":506830,"journal":{"name":"Theoretical and Natural Science","volume":"70 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140077786","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The key challenge in this process is enrichment, or isolation, of the small number of cancer cells in blood serum from other cells. This study uses numerical simulations to design devices that advance the state of art in the enrichment of circulating cancer cells. In particular, the lift forces acting on neutrally buoyant small spherical particles in a Poiseuille flow bounded by a wall are modelled using numerical computation. Specifically, we explore the influence of the Reynolds number, distance to the wall, and particle size on these lift forces, building upon previous research on the Segre-Silberberg effect. By validating the mechanism by which particles concentrate at specific positions within the fluid, we confirm the existence of the Segre-Silberberg effect in this system. Subsequently, we apply a customized 3D model of a filtration device to investigate the Segre-Silberberg effect and Deans effect in a non-Poiseuille flow, which can be applied in liquid cancer biopsy. Our results demonstrate that this flow pattern could potentially be used to separate cancer cells from the mean flow. Finally, we apply the flow separation mechanisms in microfluidic design through a rapid 3D design and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) verification cycle. The popular spiral microfluidic design does not demonstrate strong flow separation pattern in our tests, while the sinusoidal design shows much more promise. Further research is needed to empirically evaluate these designs.","PeriodicalId":506830,"journal":{"name":"Theoretical and Natural Science","volume":"12 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140077422","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
