In recent years, the amalgamation of satellite communications and aerial platforms into space-air-ground integrated network (SAGINs) has emerged as an indispensable area of research for future communications due to the global coverage capacity of low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites and the flexible Deployment of aerial platforms. This paper presents a deep reinforcement learning (DRL)-based approach for the joint optimization of offloading and resource allocation in hybrid cloud and multi-access…

Matched topics: river

Soil/sediment samples of four different land types were collected from aquaculture land, farmland, industrial land and river bottom sediment in the estuary area of Dagu River. The contents of Cr, Cu, Zn, As, Cd and Pb in 0-30 cm inner surface samples were detected, and the distribution characteristics of heavy metal content in surface soil/sediment of different land use types in the estuary area were analyzed. Local accumulation index method, potential risk index evaluation method and princip…

During 1979-2022, Cameroon recorded 32 laboratory-confirmed mpox cases among 137 suspected mpox cases identified by the national surveillance network. The highest positivity rate occurred in 2022, indicating potential mpox re-emergence in Cameroon. Both clade I (n = 12) and clade II (n = 18) monkeypox virus (MPXV) were reported, a unique feature of mpox in Cameroon. The overall case-fatality ratio of 2.2% was associated with clade II. We found mpox occurred only in the forested southern part …

Assessment of the impact of climate change on streamflow of Ganjiang River catchment via LSTM-based models

Matched topics: hydrologic model, river, streamflow, climate change

Ganjiang River catchment, China. Quantifying the effects of the impacts climate change on streamflow is of great importance for regional water resources management. In this study, four LSTM-based models, i.e., LSTM, Stack-LSTM, Bi-LSTM and CNN-LSTM, were constructed to assess hydrological changes under future climate change based on the bias-corrected Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 meteorological data from four shared socioeconomic pathways (SSPs). (1) The Bi-LSTM achieves the …

Matched topics: earth system model

We investigate massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) downlink (DL) transmission for multiple low-earth-orbit satellite communication systems. We establish the signal and channel models, and reveal that the signals received by each user terminal (UT) are typically asynchronous in time and frequency. We propose a spatial linear receive processing for signal extraction and perform time and frequency compensations at each UT to achieve synchronized signal. We prove that the single data st…

Abstract Context Estuarine wetlands provide valuable ecosystem services, but 20–78% of coastal wetlands are facing the risk of loss by the end of the century. The Yellow River Delta (YRD) wetland, one of the most productive delta areas in the world, has undergone dramatic changes under the influence of a precipitous drop of sediment delivery and runoff, coupled with the invasion of Spartina alterniflora . Monitoring the spatio-temporal patterns, thresholds, and drivers of change in wetland la…
