Abstract Ice accretion on aircraft poses a critical threat to flight safety by significantly altering aerodynamic performance. This study presents a novel numerical framework for ice accretion prediction, developed by extending the Myers model and incorporating an advanced multi-step approach. The proposed framework integrates ice layer growth into the modeling of unsteady water film dynamics and introduces a revised criterion for determining the icing condition. A multi-step scheme, accounting for the continuous variation of physical parameters, is implemented to enhance computational accuracy. The framework is validated through simulations on both 2D and 3D configurations. For the… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract This study explores the role of teachers’ professional identity (TPI) on employee learning engagement (LE), with mediation by basic needs satisfaction (BNS). Participants were 255 Chinese pre-service teachers (191 females = 74.9%, 16 freshmen = 6.2%, 135 sophomores = 52.9%, 35 juniors = 12.5%, 72 seniors = 28.2%). They completed surveys on the “QuestionStar” online survey platform and 12 of the teachers completed interviews for sharing their personal insights. The results of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) indicated that teachers’ professional identity significantly predicted both learning engagement and basic needs satisfaction, with basic needs satisfaction partially More >

Abstract Cupressus gigantea is an endemic endangered tree species in the Tibet Plateau, and studying the survival status of the different C. gigantea populations and revealing the main environmental factors that affect the population survival are particularly significant for the conservation and sustainable development of endangered species. Based on the 28 sample plots, the Hierarchical Cluster Method was used to classify the C. gigantea populations into four community types. Age structure diagrams were drawn based on the structure of each community, static life tables and survival curves were compiled, and the future development trends of each age group in… More >

Abstract Background: Depression represents a significant global mental health burden, particularly among middle-aged and older Chinese with chronic diseases in high-altitude regions, where harsh environmental conditions and limited social support exacerbate mental health disparities. This paper aims to develop an interpretable machine learning prediction framework to identify the key factors of depression in this vulnerable population, thereby proposing targeted intervention measures. Methods: Utilizing data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study in 2020, this paper screened out and analyzed 2431 samples. Subsequently, Recursive Feature Elimination and Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator were applied to screen… More >

Abstract Background: In China, the policy of rotating teachers between urban and rural schools has been implemented to reduce educational disparities and ensure equitable access to quality education. These teachers face unique professional and emotional challenges during the rotation process, making their emotional labor a critical factor influencing their job performance. This study aimed to explore the relationship between rotating teachers’ emotional labor strategies and job performance. Methods: This study conducted a cross-sectional survey among 577 rotating teachers selected through stratified random sampling from primary and secondary schools in mainland China. Date were collected using the Teacher… More >

Abstract Uncertainty and ambiguity are pervasive in real-world intelligent systems, necessitating advanced mathematical frameworks for effective modeling and analysis. Fermatean fuzzy sets (FFSs), as a recent extension of classical fuzzy theory, provide enhanced flexibility for representing complex uncertainty. In this paper, we propose a unified parametric divergence operator for FFSs, which comprehensively captures the interplay among membership, non-membership, and hesitation degrees. The proposed operator is rigorously analyzed with respect to key mathematical properties, including non-negativity, non-degeneracy, and symmetry. Notably, several well-known divergence operators, such as Jensen-Shannon divergence, Hellinger distance, and χ²-divergence, are shown to be special cases More >

Abstract Metaheuristic optimization methods are iterative search processes that aim to efficiently solve complex optimization problems. These basically find the solution space very efficiently, often without utilizing the gradient information, and are inspired by the bio-inspired and socially motivated heuristics. Metaheuristic optimization algorithms are increasingly applied to complex feature selection problems in high-dimensional medical datasets. Among these, Teaching-Learning-Based optimization (TLBO) has proven effective for continuous design tasks by balancing exploration and exploitation phases. However, its binary version (BTLBO) suffers from limited exploitation ability, often converging prematurely or getting trapped in local optima, particularly when applied to… More >

Abstract The optimization of the lubricant supply quantity contributes to minimizing energy losses and wastage. Stearic acid is commonly used for boundary lubrication as an organic friction modifier. To enhance the performance of hydrodynamic bearings running with limited lubricant supply (LLS), under conditions of limited oil supply, the effect of stearic acid oiliness additive was studied on the relationship between oil film thickness of PAO10 (polyα-olefin) and inclination angle of the slider with an optical test rig for measuring the film lubrication in the slider-on-disc contact. The results showed that the film thickness presented an overall… More >

Abstract Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) radiative chemically reactive mixed convection flow of a hybrid nanofluid (Al₂O₃–Cu/H₂O) across an inclined, porous, and stretched sheet is examined in this study, along with its unsteady heat and mass transport properties. The hybrid nanofluid’s enhanced heat transfer efficiency is a major benefit in high-performance engineering applications. It is composed of two separate nanoparticles suspended in a base fluid and is chosen for its improved thermal properties. Thermal radiation, chemical reactions, a transverse magnetic field, surface stretching with time, injection or suction through the porous medium, and the effect of inclination, which introduces gravity-induced… More >

Abstract This study investigated the role of work role engagement and interpersonal perspectives mediation in the relationship between school principal moral leadership and teachers’ voice behavior. A sample comprising 315 middle school teachers from a central province in China participated in the research (females = 73.3%). These teachers completed surveys on moral leadership, work engagement, trust in superiors, and voice behavior. The results of dual mediation modeling indicated evidence of an indirect effect of moral leadership on teachers’ voice behavior through work engagement. The results also indicated evidence of mediating effect of trust between moral leadership More >
