Digital Twin Satellite Internet: Architecture and Key Technologies by Yaoqi LIU, Hongguang LI, Yiqing ZHOU, Jinglin SHI, Yongtao SU, Jinxi QIAN

“…A digital twin satellite internet (DTSI) architecture was proposed, which provided support for the whole life cycle of satellite internet through the three-dimensional closed-loop mechanism of parallel twin, security endogenous and intelligent evolution.Then, the key problems and technologies of DTSI were discussed.Aiming at the complex and changeable satellite internet system, a standardized model processing and generation method based on mechanism and data driving was proposed.In the face of the data torrent formed by massive information and uneven distribution, a pool computing-storage strategy of three-level diversion strategy was proposed.In order to achieved high fi delity with the characteristics of the actual system, an intelligent orchestration and distributed heterogeneous processing platform was designed to classifi ed and quickly calculated diff erent models and events.In order to achieved high fi delity with the characteristics of the actual system, an intelligent orchestration and distributed heterogeneous processing platform was designed to classifi ed and quickly calculated diff erent models and events, the satellite internet twin cycle evolution system of observation-orientationdecision-act was formed, so as to realized the stable development of the whole life cycle of satellite internet.…”

Des SIG aux observations de terrain : étude de la « trame jardinée potagère » dans les petites villes du Vexin français by Flora Rich, Yves Petit-Berghem

“…Our results show that the existence of these gardens is rooted in a manual culture associated with the working classes and that their renewal is declining. Securing the tenure of unbuilt land advocated by the Regional National Park does not therefore seem to be enough to maintain the food-growing function of the green belts. …”

Representing succession: Tudor royal portraits, 1544–1546: context, production and analysis by Susan E. James

“…Evidence suggests that it was Kateryn, who helped achieve for Mary and Elizabeth the dynastic legitimacy that secured their subsequent reigns. In celebration of this achievement, between 1544 and 1546, evidence also suggests that it was the queen who was instrumental in commissioning a campaign of portraits of her stepchildren as a visual affirmation of their enhanced status. …”

Blockchain-based digital copyright trading system by Li LI, Siqin ZHOU, Qin LIU, Debiao HE

“…In the current era of digitalization and networking,the demand for digital copyright transactions is increasing.The traditional centralized copyright protection system has series of problems such as high registration costs,long work acceptance times,and being vulnerable to tampering by saboteurs.Blockchain as a decentralized network structure and based on P2P network and cryptographic technology,which can establish trust relationship on the network by pure mathematics.Without relying on the middle platform,blockchain technology can naturally alleviate the above problems.With the help of self-regulatory,traceable and decentralized features of blockchain technology and digital copyright trading scenarios,a digital copyright trading system model was designed.The new system is based on the advanced permissioned blockchain provided by IBM.The implementation of copyright registration and copyright transaction can ensure the integrity and tamper-resistant of the information.Finally,the installation time of chain code deployment was tested.The results show that the system is simple to install and has low maintenance costs.Compared with the traditional trusted third party copyright authentication mechanism,the blockchain-based digital rights trading system has a short registration time,no registration fee,and better architecture security and scalability.…”

Establishment and Implementation of Sponge City Monitoring System— A Case Study of Zhenjiang by WANG Yan, YU Meixiu, LU Zhicong

“…In order to effectively deal with urban water pollution and waterlogging,China proposes the concept of sponge city for stormwater management,which takes the control rate of total annual runoff,urban non-point pollution control,and urban rainstorm and waterlogging prevention as evaluation indicators to comprehensively improve the water resources,water security,water environment,and water ecological quality of cities.In the process of sponge city planning,construction,operation,and maintenance,it is necessary to establish a complete online monitoring system to assist the whole life cycle management of the sponge city construction.With Zhenjiang city listed in the first batch of pilot sponge cities in China as an example,a multi-level and organically nested sponge city monitoring system is constructed,and it mainly monitors rainfall,underlying surface,land area (sponge facilities,project sites,drainage zones),rivers and lakes,and basins.In addition,its monitoring indicator,distribution principle,monitoring frequency,as well as selection,recognition,and effective utilization of data are specified.The construction and implementation of the sponge city monitoring system are of great theoretical significance and application value for evaluating the construction and operation optimization of sponge cities,strengthening urban waterlogging prevention and control,and systematically promoting sponge cities in the whole area.…”
