Guo, Leicheng (author), Zhu, Chunyan (author), Cai, Huayang (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author), Townend, Ian (author), He, Qing (author)River discharge is known to enhance tidal damping and tidal wave deformation in estuaries. While the damping effect on astronomical tides has been well documented, river impact on tidal wave deformation and associated overtide generation (shallow water harmonics of one or more astronomical constituents, such as M<sub>4</sub>) remains...journal article 2023

Zhu, Chunyan (author), Zhang, Yuning (author), van Maren, D.S. (author), Xie, Weiming (author), Guo, Leicheng (author), Wang, Xianye (author), He, Qing (author)The sediment load in the Yangtze River downstream of the Three Gorges Dam (TGD) has substantially declined in recent decades. The decrease is more profound below the TGD, e.g., a 97% decrease at Yichang, compared with that at the delta apex, 1200 km downstream, e.g., a 75% decrease, implying along-river sediment recovery. Two large river...journal article 2023

Zhu, R. (author), Yang, M. (author), Yang, J. (author), Wang, Q. (author)Federated Learning (FL) is an important privacy-preserving learning paradigm that is expected to play an essential role in the future Intelligent Internet of Things (IoT). However, model training in FL is vulnerable to noise and the statistical heterogeneity of local data across IoT clients. In this paper, we propose FedNaWi, a “Go Narrow, Then...conference paper 2023
