Accurate estimation of reference evapotranspiration (ET₀) is critical for sustainable water resource management, irrigation scheduling, and climate adaptation in heterogeneous semi-arid regions. This study presents a stream-lined neural network (NN) approximation inspired by the Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) for predicting daily ET0 in Khenchela province, northeastern Algeria. Utilizing meteorological and soil data from 2000 to 2024 at 16 representative stations (Babar...

This paper is devoted to the normalized solutions of the two-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii system with a microwave field and inhomogeneous interactions. By investigating the relevant  L²-critical constrained variational problem, we get the existence and nonexistence of the normalized solutions under suitable assumptions about the interaction potentials. We establish the existence and nonexistence of minimizers of   via a threshold  , where   is the square ...

In the context of the deepening implementation of the national cultural digitalization strategy, the international dissemination models for large-scale archaeological sites urgently require innovation. The Jinan Longshan Cultural City Wall Site serves as crucial evidence for tracing the origins of Chinese civilization. Its traditional display and dissemination have long been constrained by three core issues: low physical accessibility, insufficient international interpretation, and a lack of int...

Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) was widely used as a minimally invasive and reversible bariatric procedure; however, mid- and long-term follow-up has revealed a significant incidence of late complications and suboptimal results. Although band removal is generally considered curative, persistent or delayed gastric obstruction due to a retained fibrous capsule is increasingly recognized and remains underreported in the literature. We report the case of a 54-year-old woman with a his...

Pedestal Prejudice Bias (PPB) is advanced here as a trauma-informed cognitive moral process in which perceived righteousness produces self-exemption from accountability. PPB is proposed as a patterned alteration in moral information processing whereby individuals or groups experience their identity, cause, or suffering as inherently incapable of wrongdoing. In this state, corrective feedback is reinterpreted as an attack, and ethically inconsistent behavior is reframed as justified action while ...

In Malawi, rural households that rely on rain-fed agriculture for livelihood face income loss due to frequent extreme weather events as a result of the changing climate. This study examines the impact of extreme weather events on farmers’ income, followed by the evaluation of their perceptions and coping strategies in the rural areas of Nsanje district, Malawi. Primary data was collected through a structured questionnaire survey of 385 randomly selected farmers and was analyzed through descripti...

Based on the Mental Space Mapping theory from Cognitive Linguistics, this paper investigates the cognitive transformation mechanisms involved in translating Chinese idioms into English in Mo Yan’s novels. The study focuses on the pervasive implicit agentive and patientive meaning in the semantic construal of Chinese idioms, and examines how these are explicated in cross-linguistic transfer through mental-space operations of mapping, integration, and elaboration. The main findings are as follows:...

This study discusses how corporate culture becomes a critical success factor in hotel operation. This research employed qualitative in-depth interviewing to interview 27 hotel owners and managers and the results indicated that every hotel has a corporate culture. Some cultures are positive, allowing the hotel to adapt successfully to the changing needs of the market and to outperform its peers on a consistent basis. Others are negative, which adversely affects performance and may threaten the ho...
