Declining precipitation frequency may drive earlier leaf senescence by intensifying drought stress and enhancing drought acclimation by Xinyi Zhang, Xiaoyue Wang, Constantin M. Zohner, Josep Peñuelas, Yang Li, Xiuchen Wu, Yao Zhang, Huiying Liu, Pengju Shen, Xiaoxu Jia, Wenbin Liu, Dashuan Tian, Prajal Pradhan, Adandé Belarmain Fandohan, Dailiang Peng, Chaoyang Wu

“…Finally, we find 30 current state-of-art Earth system models largely fail to capture the sensitivity of DFS to changes in precipitation frequency and incorrectly predict the direction of correlations for approximately half of the northern global lands, in both historical simulations and future predictions. Our results therefore highlight the critical need to include precipitation frequency, rather than just total precipitation, into models to accurately forecast plant phenology under future climate change.…”

Depth first traversal algorithm for the back-off tree of distributed queuing by Wennai WANG, Yanhe ZHANG, Wei WU, Chen BAI, Bin WANG

“…An analytic model was provided for the conventional distributed queueing (DQ) and its back-off tree operations, followed by a design of improving algorithm based on depth first traversal.Combing the specific analysis of complete binary tree with generalized extension by random tree reconstruction, the performance of proposed algorithm was evaluated on the throughput in both theory and simulation experiment.A theoretic optimal solution of contention slots of DQ frame and a brief description of simulation extension based on the open source NS-3 were presented.The simulation results show that the maximum stationary throughput by the proposed algorithm reaches 70% of the physical capacity of channel.…”
