Les risques naturels littoraux dans le Nord-Pas-de-Calais, France by Arnaud Héquette

“…Because the coastal zone of the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region is densely populated, coastal retreat and marine flooding represent natural hazards threatening the costal populations in several areas along the shore. The potential impacts of storms are limited, however, due to the macrotidal regime (tidal range > 4 m) in the coastal zone of the region, which restricts the length of time during which coastal erosion and marine flooding can occur at high tide. …”

MORPHOLOGICAL CHANGES ON THE DANUBE DELTA BIOSPHERE RESERVE COAST – ACTUAL SYNTHESIS by PETRE GÂŞTESCU, ION GRIGORAŞ

“…This sector was created as a result of accumulation processes, the north-south coastal marine currents, moving the river alluvia blocked the river mouth forming the Danube Delta and Halmyris lagoon, the whole becoming Razim-Sinoie Lake Complex. This marine shore sector, due to the contribution of river alluvia, is characterized generally by the advance in the marine space, but the current conditions (reducing the volume of sediments from the Danube, marine minitransgression and anthropogenic interventions (by the dams raised at the mouth of the Sulina branch and Cape Midia) generate shoreline retreat in some areas. …”

Security communication and energy efficiency optimization strategy in UAV-aided edge computing by Xueyong YU, Lixiang QIU, Jianing SONG, Hongbo ZHU

“…The flexible mobility of the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has attracted widespread attention in the mobile edge computing (MEC) system.However, the existence of eavesdroppers in the air makes it a huge challenge for its secure transmission.In order to solve the contradiction between high safe communication rate and low energy consumption, the concept of security communication energy efficiency was introduced, that was, the ratio between UAV safe communication transmission rate and UAV energy consumption.Firstly, to subject the task delay constraint, limited UAV CPU frequency and task offloading rate constraint, an offloading strategy was proposed to maximize the energy efficiency of secure communication by jointly optimizing the legal UAV hover location, CPU frequency allocation and distinguishing the complexity of computing tasks, while improving the security communication in the UAV-MEC scenario from the perspective of physical layer security.Secondly, to address the non-convex optimization problem, it was decomposed into three sub-problems that were solved with block coordinate descent and the successive convex approximation (SCA) methods respectively.The simulation results show that, with different task complexity, the proposed strategy can balance the relationship between the overall secure communication performance and energy consumption, while meeting the offloading requirements of ground terminals.And then it improves secrecy energy efficiency.…”

Numerical Simulation of the Effect of Long-Term Reclamation on the Flow and Sediment Concentration in Binhai Port,Yancheng by ZHU Siyu, LU Dan

“…Binhai Port is located at the most obvious corrosive coastline of the abandoned Yellow River delta in the north of Jiangsu Province,where the near-shore wave and flow dynamic is strong,the sediment movement is relatively active,the underwater terrain is complex and the slope erosion is obvious.Based on the measured hydrological and sediment data and a two-dimensional mathematical model for wave,tidal current and sediment,this paper quantitatively analyzes the influence of the long-term reclamation project on the flow and sediment concentration in the study area and the surrounding estuary,and emphatically discusses the back silting characteristics and deposition causes of the 300 000-ton channel during normal and rough weather.The results show that:After the implementation of the reclamation project,the flow and sediment characteristics of the study area don't change in a large scale,and mainly the flow and sediment near the project site is affected.The sediment is deposited after the channel dredging and a sediment deposit centered at the area with peak sediment concentration is formed in the channel,with decreasing deposition thickness to the port and outer sea channel.During rough weather,the maximum deposition thickness can reach 8~24 times of that in normal weather,but it is less than 0.2 m/d and there is no sudden silting and navigation blocking.…”
