 The global transition toward clean energy has intensified research on green hydrogen production through water electrolysis. However, seawater cannot be used directly because dissolved salts, minerals, and organic impurities interfere with the electrochemical reactions. Therefore, seawater must undergo multiple purification stages through desalination technologies such as Reverse Osmosis , which gradually improve water quality before it becomes suitable for electrolysis. Understanding how water quality changes at each desalination stage and how it influences hydrogen generation efficiency is crucial for sustainable energy systems. 🌱🔬 🌊 1. Raw Seawater Characteristics Raw seawater contains high concentrations of salts, magnesium, calcium, sulfates, microorganisms, and suspended solids . These contaminants can damage electrolyzer electrodes, cause scaling, and reduce hydrogen yield. If untreated seawater is used in electrolysis, it may lead to unwanted chemical reactions such as...

  🌍 1. Introduction to Emerging Environmental Stressors Rapid industrialization and urban expansion have intensified the release of atmospheric pollutants such as dust particles and microplastics . These contaminants settle on plant surfaces, particularly leaves, influencing physiological and ecological functions. Understanding how plants respond to these pollutants is essential for sustainable ecosystem management and urban environmental planning. 🌱 🍃 2. Leaf Functional Traits and Their Ecological Importance Leaf functional traits refer to measurable characteristics of leaves that influence plant survival, productivity, and adaptation. Traits such as leaf surface roughness, trichome density, wax composition, stomatal density, and leaf thickness play critical roles in determining how leaves interact with environmental particles. Plants with rough or hairy leaf surfaces often capture more airborne particles, while smooth and waxy leaves may reduce deposition. These structural...

  Chalcohalides are an emerging class of semiconductor materials that combine chalcogen elements (such as sulfur, selenium, or tellurium) with halogens (like chlorine, bromine, or iodine). These hybrid compounds possess fascinating optical and electronic properties, making them promising candidates for photovoltaic devices, photodetectors, and optoelectronic technologies . However, discovering suitable chalcohalide materials with optimal energy band gaps through conventional experimental methods is time-consuming and expensive. This challenge has motivated researchers to adopt Machine Learning (ML) as a powerful predictive tool. 🚀 🧠 Role of Machine Learning in Materials Discovery Machine Learning enables scientists to analyze massive datasets and identify hidden patterns within complex material structures. By training ML models with known experimental and computational data, researchers can predict the band gap values of unexplored chalcohalide compounds with remarkable accu...

Hyperspectral imaging is transforming modern agriculture and environmental monitoring by capturing detailed spectral information across hundreds of narrow wavelength bands. Unlike traditional RGB imaging, hyperspectral sensors collect rich data that reflects subtle biochemical and structural properties of plants. 🌾 This technology enables researchers to observe crop health, detect stress conditions, and monitor plant development stages with remarkable precision. When integrated with Artificial Intelligence (AI), hyperspectral data becomes even more powerful, allowing automated classification and interpretation of complex spectral patterns. 🤖 Role of Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) Artificial Intelligence models such as deep learning and machine learning algorithms can analyze hyperspectral datasets efficiently. However, many AI models function as “black boxes,” making it difficult to understand how decisions are made. Explainable AI (XAI) addresses this challenge by provid...

  🏗️ Introduction to Structural Strength Enhancement Modern civil engineering continuously seeks innovative ways to enhance the durability and strength of aging structures. One such method is Externally Bonded Reinforcement (EBR) , where advanced materials like fiber-reinforced polymers are bonded to structural elements to improve load-bearing capacity. However, the efficiency of this reinforcement highly depends on bond strength , especially in grooved surfaces where adhesion plays a critical role. Understanding fracture energy and predicting groove bond behavior has become essential for designing reliable reinforcement systems. ✨ 🔬 Fracture Energy and Bond Behavior Fracture energy refers to the energy required to propagate a crack in a material. In reinforced structures, cracks may occur between the substrate and the bonded reinforcement layer. By studying fracture energy, engineers can better understand how cracks initiate, grow, and ultimately affect the bond performance. G...
