Abstract Climate classification systems are essential tools for analyzing regional climatic behavior, assessing long-term aridity patterns, and evaluating the impacts of climate change on water resources and ecosystem resilience. This study introduces a new Climate Classification Method based on uniform and unitless variables, referred to as the U2 Climate Classification (U2CC). The proposed U2 Index was designed to overcome structural limitations of the classical De Martonne (1942) and Erinç (1949) indices, which rely on raw precipitation–temperature ratios and are sensitive to extreme values, particularly subzero temperatures. The U2 methodology consisted of two key steps: (i) normalization… More >

Abstract Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent, excessive lipid peroxidation-driven form of regulated cell death. The core mechanisms of ferroptosis include lipid peroxidation cascade, System X_c⁻-glutathioneglutathione peroxidase 4 axis, iron and lipid metabolism chaos, the NAD(P)Hferroptosis suppressor protein 1—ubiquinone axis, and GTP cyclohydrolase 1 tetrahydrobiopterin-dihydrofolate reductase axis. Cuproptosis is triggered by copper ions and involves ferredoxin 1-mediated aggregation of lipoylated proteins, differing fundamentally from ferroptosis. Both ferroptosis and cuproptosis exhibit dual roles (promote or inhibit) in cancers. And the sensitivity of different cancer types to ferroptosis varies, which may depend on special metabolic signatures (e.g., E-cadherin loss causes epithelial–mesenchymal More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract This study employs molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to comparatively investigate the mechanical enhancement mechanisms of glass fiber-reinforced concrete (GFRC) and basalt fiber-reinforced concrete (BFRC). Amorphous models of glass fiber (GF) and basalt fiber (BF), along with calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H), were constructed using the ClayFF force field in LAMMPS. The interfacial transition zone (ITZ), atomic bonding characteristics, stress distribution, and tensile failure processes were systematically analyzed. Key findings reveal that BF exhibits a denser atomic network structure with higher coordination numbers, driven by the bridging role of Fe and Mg atoms. BFRC demonstrates significantly stronger More >

Abstract Indium sulphide (In₂S₃) has positioned itself as an environmentally friendly and efficient option compared to traditional CdS, used as a buffer layer in thin-film solar cells that use Cu(In,Ga)Se₂ (CIGS) as an absorbent material. This study provides a comparative analysis of two techniques for depositing thin films of In₂S₃: chemical bath deposition (CBD) and ultrasonic pyrolytic spraying. Their structural, morphological, compositional, and optical properties were evaluated. The films obtained by pyrolytic spraying, showed adequate crystallinity and uniformity. On the other hand, the films deposited by CBD had better stoichiometry (In2:S3 ≈ 40:60% at.) and higher bandgap values More >

Abstract Background: Platform algorithms driving content presentation are profoundly shaping the experience of younger users. While prior research has examined anxiety stemming from young adults’ social media usage, the link between upward social comparison and anxiety remains unclear. This study aims to investigate the mediating role of upward social comparison in this relationship and determine the moderating role of psychological resilience. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 562 young Chinese adults aged 18–35 (53% female). Data were collected via an online questionnaire employing validated measurement instruments, including scales for social media usage patterns, upward comparator behaviour… More >

Abstract Time series anomaly detection is critical in domains such as manufacturing, finance, and cybersecurity. Recent generative AI models, particularly Transformer- and Autoencoder-based architectures, show strong accuracy but their robustness under noisy conditions is less understood. This study evaluates three representative models—AnomalyTransformer, TranAD, and USAD—on the Server Machine Dataset (SMD) and cross-domain benchmarks including the Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) dataset, the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) dataset, and the Secure Water Treatment (SWaT) testbed. Seven noise settings (five canonical, two mixed) at multiple intensities are tested under fixed clean-data training, with variations in window, stride, and More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Ensuring the safety of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is essential for providing dependable services, especially in various sectors such as the military, education, healthcare, and automotive industries. A highly effective method to boost the precision and performance of an AI agent involves multi-configuration training, followed by thorough evaluation in a specific setting to gauge performance outcomes. This research thoroughly investigates the design of three AI agents, each configured with a different number of hidden units. The first agent is equipped with 128 hidden units, the second with 256, and the third with 512, all utilizing the… More >

Abstract Traditional cement-based slurries are often constrained by excessive cement consumption, prolonged setting times, and limited controllability, which hinder their broader engineering applications. To overcome these challenges, this study focuses on optimizing ordinary cement-based slurry through the incorporation of targeted additives and rational adjustment of mix proportions, with the aim of developing a rapid-setting, early-strength cementitious system. In particular, a series of comparative and orthogonal experiments were conducted to systematically examine the evolution of the slurry’s macroscopic properties. In addition, the response surface methodology (RSM) was introduced to reveal the interaction mechanisms among key parameters, thereby… More >

Abstract The rapid development of technology has led to an ever-increasing demand for electrical energy. In the context of Timor-Leste, which still relies on fossil energy sources with high operational costs and significant environmental impacts, electricity load forecasting is a strategic measure to support the energy transition towards the Net Zero Emission (NZE) target by 2050. This study aims to utilize historical electricity load data for the period 2013–2024, as well as data on external factors affecting electricity consumption, to forecast electricity load in Timor-Leste in the next 10 years (2025–2035). The forecasting results are expected… More >

Abstract To enable proper diagnosis of a patient, medical images must demonstrate no presence of noise and artifacts. The major hurdle lies in acquiring these images in such a manner that extraneous variables, causing distortions in the form of noise and artifacts, are kept to a bare minimum. The unexpected change realized during the acquisition process specifically attacks the integrity of the image’s quality, while indirectly attacking the effectiveness of the diagnostic process. It is thus crucial that this is attended to with maximum efficiency at the level of pertinent expertise. The solution to these challenges… More >
