Temporal and Spatial Characteristics of Tidal Current in the Eastern Waters of Macao in Summer by FANG Shenguang, HUANG Chunhua, YU Fenghua, WANG Shijun, HE Yong

“…The eastern waters of Macao at the Pearl River Estuary are an important channel for water and sediment discharged by the west beach of Lingdingyang Estuary and Macao waterway.The measured data during the flood seasons shows that the waters feature semi-diurnal tidal currents,and the average velocity in this area is about 21~23 cm/s during the flood and 18~29 cm/s during the ebb.The flowing direction is stable,namely,N—NNW trending during the flood and S trending during the ebb,and tidal power is stronger in the south.The average velocity in the waters is mainly dependent on the tidal type,and the flood runoff mainly affects residual currents and tidal duration.A stagnant area is formed in the north of the waters during the flood,and the water and sediment in the south are transported outside the Lingdingyang Estuary.Wind on the sea surface has a significant impact on the vertical dynamic structure of flow in the range of 40% water depth,and residual flow direction in the range of 10% water depth near the sea surface has a good follow-up.During southwest wind,the maximum horizontal flow velocity gradient appears in the second flood and ebb stage and corresponds to the occurrence of the maximum sediment concentration in the tidal cycle.Due to the shallow water depth in the north of the waters,the bed shear gradient force is generally greater than that in the south.As a result,the sediment concentration observed in the north of the waters is significantly higher than that in the southeast.According to the comprehensive analysis,astronomical tides,flood runoff,and wind are the main controlling dynamic factors in the waters.The friction resistance of shallow water in the north is drastically larger than that in the south,which leads to a significant difference in tidal duration and phases of vertical floods and ebbs.As a consequence,the special vertical dynamic structure of convergence on the surface and dispersion at the bottom is formed in the waters,which is strengthened by massive freshwater runoffs during the flood seasons.This leads to the trend of surface diluted water drifting to the east and the invasion of the nearshore by bottom high-salt water.…”

Encrypted traffic classification method based on convolutional neural network by Rongna XIE, Zhuhong MA, Zongyu LI, Ye TIAN

“…Aiming at the problems of low accuracy, weak generality, and easy privacy violation of traditional encrypted network traffic classification methods, an encrypted traffic classification method based on convolutional neural network was proposed, which avoided relying on original traffic data and prevented overfitting of specific byte structure of the application.According to the data packet size and arrival time information of network traffic, a method to convert the original traffic into a two-dimensional picture was designed.Each cell in the histogram represented the number of packets with corresponding size that arrive at the corresponding time interval, avoiding reliance on packet payloads and privacy violations.The LeNet-5 convolutional neural network model was optimized to improve the classification accuracy.The inception module was embedded for multi-dimensional feature extraction and feature fusion.And the 1*1 convolution was used to control the feature dimension of the output.Besides, the average pooling layer and the convolutional layer were used to replace the fully connected layer to increase the calculation speed and avoid overfitting.The sliding window method was used in the object detection task, and each network unidirectional flow was divided into equal-sized blocks, ensuring that the blocks in the training set and the blocks in the test set in a single session do not overlap and expanding the dataset samples.The classification experiment results on the ISCX dataset show that for the application traffic classification task, the average accuracy rate reaches more than 95%.The comparative experimental results show that the traditional classification method has a significant decrease in accuracy or even fails when the types of training set and test set are different.However, the accuracy rate of the proposed method still reaches 89.2%, which proves that the method is universally suitable for encrypted traffic and non-encrypted traffic.All experiments are based on imbalanced datasets, and the experimental results may be further improved if balanced processing is performed.…”

Review on Hydrological Effects of Eucalyptus Plantation by HUANG Jun, JIN Pingwei, JIANG Xuebing

“…This paper reviewed the research progress of hydrological effects of eucalyptus plantations at home and abroad,and analyzed the research results of eucalyptus plantations such as evapotranspiration and vegetation interception,rainfall production and soil water.On the whole,there is no research conclusion that eucalyptus plantations are “pumping machines”,but the negative impact of eucalyptus plantations on regional water cycle and water balance does exist.Evaporation of eucalyptus plantations,rainfall interception,forest land flow and soil water are affected by factors such as species and age,canopy structure,rainfall and rotation system.The evapotranspiration rules of single eucalyptus and eucalyptus plantations were basically the same,and the daily evaporation was between 0.5 mm and 6.5 mm,which was significantly higher than that of other forest stands,and showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing with the increase of tree age.The rainfall interception in different eucalyptus plantations varied greatly,generally accounting for 10%~30% of rainfall,and there was a positive correlation with rainfall overall,and the trend of increasing first and then decreasing with the increase of tree age.After the establishment of eucalyptus plantations,the surface runoff production in the area decreased significantly,especially in dry years.However,after felling,the base flow,runoff and peak flow of the catchment area gradually increased and returned to pre-afforestation levels.After the establishment of eucalyptus plantations,soil water content and water storage showed a downward trend,and the negative effect on soil water gradually decreased with the increase of tree age.However,short-cut eucalyptus plantations had a great negative impact on soil water,and it was difficult to effectively replenish soil water even in the rainy season with abundant rainfall.At present,there are still many problems in the research on the hydrological effects of eucalyptus plantations in China,and the follow-up should strengthen the long-series multi-temporal and spatial scale positioning monitoring,carry out the research and development of physical hydrological models of eucalyptus plantations,and provide technical support for the construction,felling management and soil water use regulation of eucalyptus plantations.…”
