Flood risk zoning due to climate change under RCP 8.5 scenario using hydrologic model SWAT in Gis (Azarshahr basin) by Mohammadreza Goodarzi, Atiyeh Fatehifar

“…Due to the zoning they are 41.55% of the area of the basin, at very low and low risk, 27.23% at average risk and 31.2% at high and very high risk. Also, with the final map, it became clear that the mid-basin had a high risk due to its prerequisite conditions and that it needed to carry out managerial actions.…”

Influencing Mechanisms of Ecosystem Services on Net Carbon Sink Efficiency and Spatial Differentiation Thereof: A Case Study of the Shanghai Metropolitan Area by Haoyang SONG, Min WANG

“…In addition, the spatial spillover effects of ecosystem services are innovatively revealed according to ecosystem service flow conduction mechanisms.ResultsResearch results are summarized as follows. 1) During the 11 years from the 2010 to 2020, the growth of carbon dioxide emissions in the Shanghai Metropolitan Area gradually slowed down, while the net primary productivity of vegetation continued to increase, and the areas with high carbon emissions and high carbon sinks were partially overlapped; in addition, the net carbon sink efficiency of some core nodes, such as Shanghai City, maintained a steady improvement, effectively driving neighboring cities to reduce carbon emissions and increase carbon sinks; meanwhile, the areas with improved net carbon sink efficiency have some similar characteristics and can be divided into 2 types: areas with high production value, high carbon emissions, and high carbon sinks, and those with medium-high production value, low carbon emissions, and medium-high carbon sinks. 2) The four ecosystem services have significant spatial heterogeneity and relatively stable changes over the 11-year period, with the high values mainly distributed in the southwestern part of the area with high vegetation cover and the area around the Taihu Lake with concentrated water resources, while the low values mainly distributed in the concentrated urban construction areas and near the regional traffic arteries, and the total amount of the four ecosystem services has shown fluctuating characteristics. 3) Regarding the spatial decomposition effects of ecosystem services on net carbon sink efficiency, there are differences in the coefficients, directions and significance of the spatial effects of different ecosystem services. …”

All-optical pattern matching system of 42 Gbit/s 4-bit BPSK signals and its demonstration for optoelectronic firewall by Qihan ZHANG, Xiaoxue GONG, Rui LI, Xin LI, Shanguo HUANG, Lei GUO

“…To achieve the all-optical pattern matching for optoelectronic firewall which could process high-speed optical signals efficiently, a BPSK all-optical pattern recognition system with the data rate up to 42 Gbit/s was proposed and demonstrated by employing the commercial optical components.First, the input BPSK sequence was converted to a positive and a negative IM signals by adding in-phase and inverse-phase coherent carriers, respectively.Then the converted IM signals were coupled into time delay lines and optical AND logic gates implemented by HNLF to achieve the optical correlation operation.In the end, a high-level optical pulse indicating the pattern matched result was output.The numerical simulation and the experiment results demonstrate that the proposed system can recognize a 4-bit target BPSK sequence from an 8-bit 42 Gbit/s BPSK input sequence, which proves the feasibility of the all-optical pattern matching of BPSK signals and can be applied to high-speed optoelectronic firewall.…”
