This study aims to investigate the influence of fishnet mesh size on a floating platform.A self-developed, time-domain numerical model was used for the evaluation.This model is based on potential flow theory, uses the boundary element method (BEM) to solve nonlinear wave-body interactions, and applies the Morison equation to calculate the hydrodyna
Benchmarking of snow water equivalent (SWE) products based on outcomes of the SnowPEx+ Intercomparison Project
We assess and rank 23 gridded snow water equivalent (SWE) products by implementing a novel evaluation strategy using a new suite of reference data from two cross-validated sources and a series of product intercomparisons.The new reference data combine in situ measurements from both snow courses and airborne gamma measurements.Compared to previous e
Reconfigurable intelligent surface-aided wireless communications: An overview (invited paper)
The reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) is an emerging technology, which will hopefully bring a new revolution in wireless communications.The RIS technology can be deployed in an indoor/outdoor environment to dynamically manipulate the propagation environment.The RIS consists of a large number of independently controllable passive elements, an
Parallel to the Situational Judgement Test: is the Educational Performance Measure fair in ranking medical students on the UK Foundation Programme?

The Performance Research and Orthogonal Analysis of Humidification-dehumidification Technology (HDH) System
HDH seawater desalination technology has characteristics of flexible scale, small investment, and suitable for decentralized fresh water demand.This paper designs a HDH seawater desalination system, and based on the principles of energy conservation and mass conservation, a theoretical calculation model is established, and the influence of spray li
