Analysis of SI models with multiple interacting populations using subpopulations by Evelyn K. Thomas, Katharine F. Gurski, Kathleen A. Hoffman

“…We present an alternative method which deconstructs the larger system into smaller subsystems and captures theinteractions between the smaller systems as external forces using an approximate model. We bound the basic reproductive numbers of the full system in terms of the basic reproductive numbers of the smaller systems and use the alternate model to provide approximations for the endemic equilibrium. …”

Machine learning algorithm for intelligent detection of WebShell by Hua DAI, Jing LI, Xin-dai LU, Xin SUN

“…WebShell is a common tool for network intrusions,which has the characteristics of great harm and good concealment.The current detection method is relatively simple,and easy to be bypassed,so it is difficult to deal with complex and flexible WebShell.To solve these problems,a supervised machine learning algorithm was put forward to detect WebShell intelligently.By learning the features of existing WebShell and non-existing WebShell pages,the algorithm can make prediction of the unknown pages,and the flexibility and adaptability were both very good.Compared with the traditional WebShell detection methods,the experiment proves that the algorithm has higher detection efficiency and accuracy,and at the same time there is a certain probability to detect new types of WebShell.…”

RESEARCH ON SOLUTION METHOD OF CONTACT STIFFNESS OF CURVIC COUPLINGS CONSIDERING TOOTH SURFACE ROUGHNESS by MA Wu, WANG AiLun, WANG Hai, YANG ZhengLie

“…Aiming at the problem that the contact stiffness analysis method of curvic couplings can not consider the contact interface microscopic morphology,an analytical model of the contact interface stiffness was proposed.Through the stress analysis and stiffness transformation,the general model of curvic couplings contact interface stiffness was obtained,and the GW rough surface model was brought into it to obtain the specific curvic couplings contact interface stiffness formula based on the GW rough surface model.Finally,the analytical model results were compared with finite element results.The effect of surface topography on the contact stiffness of curvic couplings was obtained,and the relationship between the normal contact stiffness and the tangential contact stiffness with the preload and tangential force were obtained.The research shows that the analytical model matches well with the finite element results,which proves the rationality of the analytical model and provides a theoretical reference for the preload force and torque design of the rotors with curvic couplings.…”
