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 We present a computer-modeling framework for photovoltaic (PV) source emulation that preserves the exact single-diode physics while enabling iteration-free, real-time evaluation. We derive two closed-form explicit solvers based on the Lambert W function: a voltage-driven V-Lambert solver for high-fidelity I–V computation and a resistance-driven R-Lambert solver designed for seamless integration in a closed-loop PV emulator. Unlike Taylor-linearized explicit models, our proposed formulation retains the exponential nonlinearity of the PV equations. It employs a numerically stable analytical evaluation that eliminates the need for lookup tables and root-finding, all while maintaining limited computational costs and a small… More >

Abstract A numerical study analyzed double diffusion caused by convective and radiative heat transfer in a greenhouse with and without internal humidity sources. Two cases were examined: one considering temperature and mass concentration gradients on vertical walls and another incorporating internal humidity sources, enhancing convective and diffusive flows. Four configurations were analyzed by varying the length of the greenhouse, and the Rayleigh number was calculated over a range from 2.29 × 10¹⁰ to 6.07 × 10¹². Simulations modeled the greenhouse interior six times a day (8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.), accounting for external temperature, humidity, and solar More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract The increasing need for sustainable energy and the environmental impacts of reliance on fossil fuels have sparked greater interest in biomass as a renewable energy source. This review provides an in-depth assessment of bio-oil and biochar generation through the pyrolysis of sawdust, a significant variety of lignocellulosic biomass. The paper investigates different thermochemical conversion methods, including fast, slow, catalytic, flash, and co-pyrolysis, while emphasizing their operational parameters, reactor designs, and effects on product yields. The influence of temperature, heating rate, and catalysts on enhancing the quality and quantity of bio-oil and biochar is thoroughly analyzed. More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Background: Weight stigma is prevalent and has multiple sources, which have significant effects on individual, social, physical, and psychological health. This study evaluated the psychometric properties of the Thai version of WeSEI to provide a valid tool to assess weight stigma in Thai young adults. Methods: A cross-sectional online survey recruited 517 Thai university students from October 2024 to May 2025. All participants completed demographic information and standardized self-reported instruments, including WeSEI, Depression, Anxiety, and Stress scale 21 (DASS-21), Weight Self-Stigma Questionnaire (WSSQ), and Perceived Weight Stigma Scale (PWSS). The psychometric properties of the Thai version… More >

Abstract With the accelerated growth of the Internet of Things (IoT), real-time data processing on edge devices is increasingly important for reducing overhead and enhancing security by keeping sensitive data local. Since these devices often handle personal information under limited resources, cryptographic algorithms must be executed efficiently. Their computational characteristics strongly affect system performance, making it necessary to analyze resource impact and predict usage under diverse configurations. In this paper, we analyze the phase-level resource usage of AES variants, ChaCha20, ECC, and RSA on an edge device and develop a prediction model. We apply these algorithms… More >

Abstract Houttuynia cordata, a characteristic edible and medicinal plant in southwestern China, is prone to absorbing lead (Pb²⁺). Excessive consumption may lead to Pb²⁺ accumulation in the human body, which has been linked to serious health risks such as neurotoxicity, kidney damage, anemia, and developmental disorders, particularly in children. Therefore, the development of molecular markers associated with Pb²⁺ uptake and the investigation of the plant’s physiological responses to Pb²⁺ pollution are of great significance. In this study, 72 H. cordata germplasms were evaluated for Pb²⁺ accumulation after exogenous Pb²⁺ treatment. A significant variation in Pb²⁺ content was observed among the germplasms, indicating… More >

Abstract Grounded in the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) model, this study investigates the relationship between technostress and professional identity among 313 online international language teachers (82.11% female; 77.64% aged 24 and above; 63.87% with postgraduate education). It further examines the mediating role of growth mindset and the moderating effect of technical support. The results indicate that higher levels of technostress are associated with lower levels of professional identity. Growth mindset partially mediates this relationship: elevated technostress not only directly weakens teachers’ professional identity but also indirectly reduces it by undermining their growth mindset. Moreover, technical support significantly More >
