Characteristic Changes of Scale Invariance of Seismicity Prior to Large Earthquakes: A Constructive Review by Qiang Li, Gui-Ming Xu

“…We finally came up with a constructive suggestion for the research strategy in this topic. Our suggestion is that when people try to obtain the precursory information before large earthquakes or to study the fractal property of seismicity by means of the previous scale invariance methods, the strengths and weaknesses of these methods have to be taken into consideration for the purpose of increasing research efficiency. …”

Perspectives on coordinated satellite-terrestrial intelligent maritime communication network by Wei FENG, Rui TANG, Ning GE

“…With the implementation of national marine strategy,economic activities such as maritime transport,marine resource exploitation become increasingly important,and the demand for maritime communications keeps growing.Although the terrestrial cellular network had entered the 5G era,existing maritime communications still mainly rely on marine satellites and shore-based base stations,which are far from meeting the demand in terms of communication rate,delay and reliability.The future 6G networks are expected to offer satellite-air-ground-sea full coverage.However,due to complex maritime environments and heterogeneous marine services,the 6G maritime communication networks still face unique challenges.After summarizing the current developing status of maritime communications,related key technologies were surveied from three aspects:transmission efficiency,network coverage,and information service.For the future development of 6G intelligent maritime communication networks,the technical methods and research directions of maritime environment-aware intelligent transmission,coordinated satellite-terrestrial dynamic networking and service-driven resource allocation were prospected.…”
