BEIJING, July 23 (Xinhua) -- The following is a summary of published science and technology news of China.

LINK BETWEEN SLEEP, ALZHEIMER'S

A Chinese study has found that people who go to bed around 10:00 p.m. and sleep about six to seven hours a night have a lower risk of developing Alzheimer's disease (AD).

The researchers from Fudan University and Qingdao University reported in the journal Alzheimer's & Dementia that they found a U-shaped relation between nocturnal sleep habits and the level of amyloid-beta deposition in cerebrospinal fluid.

SATELLITE NETWORK MONITORS FLOOD

The National Satellite Ocean Application Service (NSOAS) has used the HY-1C, HY-1D and Gaofen-3 satellite network to conduct continuous monitoring of the flood situation along Poyang Lake, China's largest freshwater lake, in the eastern province of Jiangxi.

The network formed by the three satellites can receive flood data twice every three days. Since June 17, the NSOAS has processed more than 40 scenes of image data.

SATELLITE DATA-DRIVEN OCEANIC FORECAST

Chinese researchers have achieved progress in intelligent oceanic forecasting driven by satellite data, according to the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).

A joint team of researchers developed the purely satellite data-driven deep learning model for forecasting the evolution of sea surface temperature associated with the tropical instability wave, said the CAS. Enditem
