We will compare two models of oscillators that explain firefly synchronization along with other phenomena of synchrony in nature (e.g., synchronization of pacemaker cells of the heart and synchronization of neuron networks of the circadian pacemaker).
"The bubbles appear at random in the beginning and slowly repeat a pattern of synchronisation and desynchronisation, which mimics synchronization seen in nature, such as fireflies," they write in the product's description.
Background and scope: Synchronization is a common phenomenon in nature, e.g., the synchronized flashing of fireflies or the synchronous firing of neurons in the human brain [15, 16].
As the rate of rotation of the Earth constantly changes, it is necessary to occasionally add (or theoretically to subtract) a second during the year to ensure the atomic timescale Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) stays in synchronization with nature.
In nature, distributed synchronization scheme can be observed on the flashing of fireflies [29].
In fact, synchronization is a common phenomenon in nature, which has been investigated for a rather long time.
In fact, synchronization is a basic motion in nature that has been studied for a long time [4 6].
Biological rhythm synchronization is a common phenomenon in nature; it can occur among inner-species [22], [29], [30], [31] or in a system consisting of different species as shown in our research, and it is beneficial for reproduction or protection [22].
The protocol analyzed so far was simple and basic in nature, assuming time synchronization will not be an issue since the system is centralized with the coordinator able to synchronize all other readers through their Wireless LAN interfaces.
Synchronization is an important phenomenon commonly observed in nature.
