Review and Prospect of Urban Waterlogging Decision Support System by LU Jiantao, HOU Guibing, LI Yuanyuan, CHEN Junxian, XUE Jiao

“…With advantages of reasonable, rapid and accurate aid decision making, the urban waterlogging decision support system can comprehensively improve the ability of flood and waterlogging control. This paper systematically reviews the research progress of urban waterlogging decision support system and its application in large and medium-sized cities, points out the problems of low data accuracy, narrow research scope and slow calculation speed in system development and application, forecasts the development trend of the system, and puts forward several solutions, such as strengthening the multi-source data collection of urban waterlogging, improving the integrated forecasting of waterlogging in river basin and urban, and optimizing the overall calculation speed of the model.…”

State updating of the Xin'anjiang model: joint assimilating streamflow and multi-source soil moisture data via the asynchronous ensemble Kalman filter with enhanced error models by J. Gong, J. Gong, X. Liu, C. Yao, C. Yao, Z. Li, A. H. Weerts, A. H. Weerts, Q. Li, S. Bastola, Y. Huang, J. Xu

“…This process updates the state variables of the model, aiming to enhance real-time flood forecasting performance. Tests involving both synthetic and real-world cases demonstrates that assimilation of these two types of observations simultaneously substantially reduces the accumulation of past errors in the initial conditions at the start of the forecast, thereby aiding in elevating the accuracy of flood forecasting. …”

Nouveaux indices de fréquentation du Val d’Orléans (Loiret) par les premiers mésolithiques by Sandrine Deschamps, Morgane Liard, Johannes Musch

“…Preliminary studies of the lithic assemblage combined with C14 dating confirm the identification of the remains as belonging to the early Mesolithic.Since these sites are in a high risk flood zone where building is forbidden, they are not threatened by development and therefore will not be excavated.These finds reopen the debate on the settlement of the Loire valley bottom in an early stage of the Holocene in social and cultural anthropology terms since they indicate recurrent occupations of the area.…”

Investigation on Characteristics of Initial Rainwater Pollution in a Baijiu Enterprise by LIU Yanling, LIU Xiaodan, WANG Zhongwei

“…The problem of non-point source pollution caused by initial rainwater is attracting more and more attention,but the initial rainwater pollution varies in different industries.To study the characteristics of water quality pollution in the initial rainwater of Baijiu enterprises,this paper analyzes the concentration of chemical oxygen demand (COD) in the initial rainwater of different production workshops.The results show that the variation law of rainfall duration varies in different regions.The COD concentration in the koji-making workshops is higher than that in the Baijiu-making workshops.The koji powder is possibly the main pollutant in the koji-making workshops,and the dissolution of pollutants brought by the koji powder requires a certain process and time.The investigation and study on the characteristics of the initial rainwater pollution in the Baijiu enterprise can provide a basis for Baijiu enterprises to carry out non-point source pollution prevention and control in flood seasons.…”

Research progress of digital image forensic techniques based on deep learning by Tong QIAO, Hongwei YAO, Binmin PAN, Ming XU, Yanli CHEN

“…In the new era of rapid development of internet, where massive forgery images with updated tampering techniques flood into, traditional algorithms are no longer able to deal with the latest multimedia tampering techniques, especially those caused by Deepfake and deep learning techniques.Thus, a universal framework for image forensics including image pre-processing module, feature extraction module and post-processing module designed for specific classification were proposed creatively.Accordingly, the state-of-the-art algorithms were reviewed，and meanwhile the main strength and limitations of current algorithms were generalized.More importantly, the future studies were also listed for advancing the development of digital image forensics.…”

Análise da qualidade de vida na cidade de Araçatuba (São Paulo): uma proposta metodológica com a utilização de sistemas de informação geográfica (sig) by Marcio Fernando Gomes, Deise Regina Elias Queiroz

“…For the evaluation of the quality of urban life the following indicators were considered: water supply, sewage, garbage collection, road paving, health facilities, educational institutions, public transport, recreation areas, free flood areas and vegetation cover. This study was developed in the city of Araçatuba (São Paulo) and the results showed that, in general, the quality of life index tends to be higher in sectors located near the central area, is gradually falling toward the periphery and reaches the worst values in the transition areas between urban and rural areas.…”
