Abstract The expansion of transportation networks, including railways and ports, has been a major force driving urban growth, mobility, and socio-economic transformations since the Industrial Revolution. This study utilizes Historical Geographic Information Systems to examine the global evolution of transportation infrastructure, focusing on railways and ports, from 1880 to 2020. The dataset enables a multidimensional analysis of how transportation systems have shaped cities, influenced regional development, and helped to make possible sustainability efforts. By offering insights into transport accessibility, land-use changes, and economic connectivity, the study provides a robust empirical foundation for understanding long-term infrastructure dynamics.

Abstract This study presents a robust and automated image registration framework designed to enhance the precision and efficiency of full-field deformation measurement in experimental mechanics applications. Traditional optical techniques, such as the sampling moiré method, rely on manual alignment processes that introduce significant errors and inefficiencies, particularly when analyzing large datasets or operating under dynamic experimental conditions. Addressing these limitations, the proposed method integrates the Maximally Stable Extremal Regions (MSER) algorithm to automate the alignment of grating images with sub-pixel accuracy. The technique is specifically tailored to handle challenges arising from high-noise environments and complex deformation… More >

Abstract The productivity of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), an economically important legume, is severely hindered by drought stress. While melatonin (Mel) and methyl jasmonate (MeJA) are known to alleviate abiotic stresses, their combined effects in mitigating drought-induced oxidative stress are unknown. Here, we examined the synergistic effects of Mel and MeJA in alleviating drought-associated oxidative damage in common bean. Compared with well-watered controls, drought stress caused a significant decline in plant biomass, photosynthetic pigments, and photosystem II efficiency (F_v/F_m). Drought also significantly increased hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) accumulation, which likely contributed to membrane lipid peroxidation, as indicated by… More >

Abstract The fabrication of highly flame-retardant polyamide 6 (PA6) composites is of great significance for expanding their practical applications. Herein, a new flame-retardant system (ADP/FA) was developed by combining aluminum diethylphosphinate (ADP) with excellent flame retardancy and fly ash (FA), an economical and environmentally friendly industrial waste. Due to the synergistic flame-retardant effect of ADP/FA in the condensed phase and gas phase, the PA6 composite containing only 11 wt% of ADP/FA (mass ratio 93:7) obtained vertical burning (UL-94) tests V-0 rating with a limiting oxygen index (LOI) of 30.9%. To obtain the same flame-retardant level of… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Objective: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) remains a major therapeutic challenge with limited treatment options and poor prognosis. This study aimed to investigate the synergistic anticancer effects of doxorubicin (DOX) combined with Viscum album L. var. coloratum agglutinin (VCA) and to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms in TNBC cells. Methods: This study evaluated the synergistic effects and mechanisms of doxorubicin (DOX) and Viscum album L. var. coloratum agglutinin (VCA) combination in MDA-MB231 TNBC cells. Cell viability, oxidative stress markers, apoptosis-related proteins, cell migration, and proliferative recovery were assessed using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and nitric oxide… More >

Abstract This study aims to assess landslide susceptibility in Hulu Selangor, Selangor, Malaysia, an area that is exposed to rapid industrial and infrastructural growth. Six conditioning factors, such as slope, land use, lithology, road proximity, and river proximity, were integrated through the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) in a GIS environment. The weights distribution analysis revealed slope (40.50%) and lithology (23.12%) as the most important factors, followed by river proximity (15.09%) and road proximity (13.76%). The developed susceptibility map was divided into five zones: very low (12.4%), low (18.7%), medium (35.6%), high (22.1%), and very high (11.2%).… More >

Abstract Urban environmental quality research is crucial, as cities become competitive centers concentrating human talent, industrial activity, and financial resources, contributing significantly to national economies. Municipal and government priorities include retaining residents, preventing skilled worker outflow, and meeting the evolving needs of urban populations. The study presents the development and application of a scenario-based spatial analysis tool for assessing urban environmental quality at a detailed spatial scale within the city of Novosibirsk.

Abstract In plant factory with artificial lighting, precise regulation of environmental and nutritional factors is essential to optimize both growth and quality of leafy vegetables. This study systematically evaluated the combined effects of light intensity (150, 200, 250 μmol/(m²·s)) and calcium supply in the nutrient solution (0.5, 1.0, 1.5 mmol/L) on lettuce morphology, photosynthesis, quality indices, and tipburn incidence. Elevating light from 150 to 200 μmol/(m²·s) significantly enhanced leaf number, area, photosynthetic rate, biomass, and foliar calcium. These gains plateaued at 250 μmol/(m²·s), where tipburn incidence surged to 76.5%. Photosynthetic pigments progressively rose with light intensity. Calcium supply… More >

Abstract Violent hate speech and scapegoating people against one another have emerged as a rising worldwide issue. But identifying and combating such content is crucial to create safer and more inclusive societies. The current study conducted research using Machine Learning models to classify hate speech and overcome the limitations posed in the existing detection techniques. Logistic Regression (LR), Random Forest (RF), K-Nearest Neighbour (KNN) and Decision Tree were used on top of a publicly available hate speech dataset. The data was preprocessed by cleaning the text and tokenization and using normalization techniques to efficiently train the… More >

Abstract The Jhelum River Basin in Pakistan has experienced recurrent and severe flooding over the past several decades, leading to substantial economic losses, infrastructure damage, and socio-environmental disruptions. This study uses multi-temporal satellite remote sensing data with historical hydrological records to map the spatial and temporal dynamics of major flood events occurring between 1988 and 2019. By utilizing satellite imagery from Landsat 5, Landsat 8, and Sentinel-2, key flood events were analyzed through the application of water indices such as the Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) and the Modified NDWI (MNDWI) to delineate flood extents.
