Abstract:
With the development of satellite-terrestrial network (STN), mobile edge computing (MEC) servers are deployed at low orbit earth (LEO) satellites to provide computing services for user devices (UEs) in areas without terrestrial network coverage. There is symmetry between satellite networks and terrestrial networks, but there is asymmetry between their resources. Computing resources of satellites’ MEC servers may not be enough. The satellite-terrestrial cooperation is promising, where a satellite migrates tasks to a base station (BS) in an adjacent area, thus utilizing computing resources of th

Abstract. Large-scale variations of terrestrial water storages and fluxes are key aspects in the Earth system, as they control ecosystem processes, feed back on weather and climate, and form the basis for water resources management. However, relevant observations are limited and process models used for estimation are highly uncertain. These models rely on approximations of terrestrial processes as well as on location-specific parameters (e.g.;soil types, topography) to translate atmospheric forcing (e.g.;precipitation, net radiation) into terrestrial water variables (e.g.;soil moisture, river

Abstract:
Abstract Caribou and reindeer migrations are the tip of the iceberg when one considers migration among the 70 species of Arctic terrestrial mammals. About 26% of species indeed have migratory individuals, while 33% are non-migratory and 41% are data deficient. Such figures demonstrate the need to both better document and better understand seasonal movements in these vertebrates. Whereas spatiotemporal variations in resources are key drivers of Arctic terrestrial mammal migrations, the changes of water phase around 0°C, from liquid to solid and vice versa, have considerable impacts given that l

Abstract:
The brackish waters along the Hokkaido coast contain a mixture of plant material of both marine and terrestrial origin that provide food and habitat sources for many macroinvertebrates. Field and laboratory experiments were used to investigate the amount of breakdown of seaweed (kelp) and terrestrial oak leaves (green, senescent, and stream-water soaked (‘conditioned’)). In addition, the consumption and growth rates of Anisogammarus pugettensis were compared for the different leaf treatments. The breakdown of kelp was greater than that of terrestrial leaves. Among the three types of oak leaves

Abstract:
The role of resource subsidies across ecosystem boundaries has emerged as an important concept in contemporary ecology. For lake ecosystems, this has led to interest in quantifying the contribution of terrestrial allochthonous carbon to aquatic secondary production. An inverse relationship between habitat area and the role of allochthonous subsidies has been documented on marine islands and assumed for lakes, yet there have been no tests of this pattern among benthic (lake bottom) consumers. Here, we used carbon stable isotopes to trace terrestrial allochthonous and benthic autochthonous carbo

Abstract:
This work was initiated to study the biodiversity of filamentous fungi in drainage water channels and their correlation with heavy metal pollution. Results showed that all water samples collected from different drainage channels were contaminated by Cd, Co, Cu, Mn, Pb and Zn but in various and relatively low concentrations. Aspergillus, Penicillium, Mucor, Trichoderma and Rhizopus were the most prevalent genera. The dominance of these genera varied in different sites. There was a basic similarity in prevalence and fluctuation of fungi isolated from both the large and the small channels. Tolera
