Despite the recognized importance of creativity in secondary education, the role of design as a faculty for teaching abstract creative concepts effectively is seldom explored in depth, hindering students’ development. To address these issues, this study aimed to motivate secondary students to engage...

IntroductionDrosophila melanogaster is a quintessential model organism that has been used in many scientific studies. The intestinal immune response of flies is a critical component of their innate immune system. Given that flies primarily consume decaying organic matter, harmful microorganisms pres...

This study introduces an Enhanced Error-Adaptive Extended-State Kalman Filter Model Predictive Control (EEA-ESKF-MPC) method to tackle strong coupling and inertia in supercritical power plants. By enhancing the ESKF-MPC framework with a mechanism that dynamically adjusts error weights based on real-...

Over the past three years, Taiwan’s Ministry of Education has established 1300 classrooms for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education nationwide, providing unprecedented budgetary support for the procurement of STEM equipment in junior high schools. This study examines how...

In the age of widespread renewable energy integration, coal-fired power plants are transitioning from a primary baseload role to a more flexible peak-shaving capacity. Under frequent load changes, the thermal efficiency will significantly decrease. In order to achieve efficient dynamic operation, th...

The escalating prevalence of microplastics (MPs) in aquatic ecosystems is anticipated to exert a significant impact on the growth and development of aquatic biota. Nonetheless, the current body of research on the mechanisms through which microplastics influence biofilm colonization in freshwater sys...

To date, little attention has been paid to the effects of leaf source reduction on photosynthetic matter production, root function and post-silking N uptake characteristics at different planting densities. In a 2-year field experiment, Xianyu 335, a widely released hybrid in China, was planted at 60...

We present maps of the mean metallicity distributions on the Galactocentric R – Z plane at different azimuthal angles using red clump stars selected from the LAMOST and APOGEE surveys. In the inner disk ( R  < 11 kpc), the metallicity distribution is symmetric between the upper and lower disk. Ho...

Oily wastewater is extensively generated during the petroleum extraction and refining processes, as crude oil production water and from the effluent systems in petrochemical enterprises. The discharge standards for such wastewater are stringent, with the Oslo–Paris Convention stipulating that the oi...

In this study, we investigated whether miR-125a participated in the resistance of the leukemia cell lines to the chemotherapeutic agent daunorubicin. Higher expression of miR-125a is correlated with lower treatment response and shorter overall survival in acute leukemia patients. Overexpression of m...
