    Abstract In modern society, people face expedited information communication, fast-paced life, and high-pressure work. People are eager for the natural environment of relaxation. The government in Taiwan has paid special attention to the development of leisure agriculture. Events that incorporate farm landscape and agriculture have been held, and rural living has been promoted. Through public engagement and experience, it is expected that agriculture can be promoted into a leisure industry with unique recreational features, in order to bring in additional incomes for the farmers, drive the regional economic development, elevate the living standards of the farmers, promote employment, protect and develop rural culture, and realize ecological conservation. This paper explores the factors for brand building in leisure agricultural area, and treats Chiang Ma Yuan Recreational Farm Area in Dahu Township, Miaoli County, as the target. Literature review was first conducted to develop the semi-open questionnaire. Then modified Delphi method was adopted for expert interviews, in order to collect expert consensus, and identify the constructs and elements for the brands in hierarchal analysis. The results were used to analyze the constructs and elements of brand building in Chiang Ma Yuan Farm Area, and suggest its future development direction.

    Abstract Backgrounds: Alcoholic hepatitis (AH) is a major health problem worldwide. There is increasing evidence that immune cells, iron metabolism and copper metabolism play important roles in the development of AH. We aimed to explore biomarkers that are co-associated with M1 macrophages, ferroptosis and cuproptosis in AH patients.
    Methods: GSE28619 and GSE103580 datasets were integrated, CIBERSORT algorithm was used to analyze the infiltration of 22 types of immune cells and GSVA algorithm was used to calculate ferroptosis and cuproptosis scores. Using the "WGCNA" R package, we established a gene co-expression network and analyzed the correlation between M1 macrophages, ferroptosis and cuproptosis scores and module characteristic genes. Subsequently, candidate genes were screened by WGCNA and differential expression gene analysis. The LASSO-SVM analysis was used to identify biomarkers co-associated with M1 macrophages, ferroptosis and cuproptosis. Finally, we validated these potential biomarkers using GEO datasets (GSE155907, GSE142530 and GSE97234) and a mouse model of AH.
    Results: The infiltration level of M1 macrophages was significantly increased in AH patients. Ferroptosis and cuproptosis scores were also increased in AH patients. In addition, M1 macrophages, ferroptosis and cuproptosis were positively correlated with each other. Combining bioinformatics analysis with a mouse model of AH, we found that ALDOA, COL3A1, LUM, THBS2 and TIMP1 may be potential biomarkers co-associated with M1 macrophages, ferroptosis and cuproptosis in AH patients.
    Conclusion: We identified 5 potential biomarkers that are promising new targets for the treatment and diagnosis of AH patients.

    Abstract The defect-based single-photon emitters (SPEs) in gallium nitride (GaN) have attracted considerable research interest due to their high emission rate, narrow line width, and room-temperature operation. However, the quenching effect greatly restricts the applications of these SPEs, and the origin of the quenching mechanism is still unclear. Here, based on systematic ab initio calculations, we reveal a possible quenching mechanism originating from the transformation between two different structures of the defect-pair N

    Abstract Purpose: This work proposed a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based method trained with images acquired with electron density phantoms to reduce quantum noise for coronary artery calcium (CAC) scans reconstructed with slice thickness less than 3 mm.
    Methods: A DenseNet model was used to estimate quantum noise for CAC scans reconstructed with slice thickness of 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 mm. Training data was acquired using electron density phantoms in three different sizes. The label images of the CNN model were real noise maps, while the input images of the CNN model were pseudo noise maps. Image denoising was conducted by subtracting the CNN output images from thin-sliced CAC scans. The efficacy of the proposed method was verified through both phantom study and patient study.
    Results: By means of phantom study, the proposed method was proven effective in reducing quantum noise in CAC scans reconstructed with 1.5-mm slice thickness without causing significant texture change or variation in HU values. With regard to patient study, calcifications were more clear on the denoised CAC scans reconstructed with slice thickness of 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 mm than on 3-mm slice images, while over-smooth changes were not observed in the denoised CAC scans reconstructed with 1.5-mm slice thickness.
    Conclusion: Our results demonstrated that the electron density phantoms can be used to generate training data for the proposed CNN-based denoising method to reduce quantum noise for CAC scans reconstructed with 1.5-mm slice thickness. Because anthropomorphic phantom is not a necessity, our method could make image denoising more practical in routine clinical practice.

    Abstract This study explores the conversion of agricultural waste into valuable industrial precursors, specifically focusing on the production of silica nanoparticles from rice husk (RH) via calcination and sol-gel processes. The synthesized particles underwent detailed analysis to assess their chemical composition, structural features, morphological characteristics, and size distribution. This comparative analysis evaluates the effectiveness of various methods in generating silica from RH and examines the impact of different drying techniques, including freeze-drying and conventional thermal drying, on the properties of the resulting silica nanoparticles. Utilizing a combination of sol-gel and freeze-drying techniques produced spherical nanoparticles with diameters of 10 to 20 nm, characterized by size uniformity, clear contours, and minimal aggregation. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis identified the amorphous nature of the silica, as evidenced by diffraction peaks typical of amorphous silica in the RH-derived samples processed via different methods. Significantly, the XRD patterns of the calcination-derived silica showed no foreign peaks, indicating a purer amorphous state. The findings of this study are anticipated to contribute to the development of innovative and efficient silica nanomaterials, fostering the sustainable use of agricultural waste.

    Abstract Ecosystem carbon storage (ECS) is a critical consideration in reducing the impact of global warming and tackling environmental challenges, positioning it at the forefront of contemporary research. Due to the significant differences in the influence of land usage patterns on ECS in various policy contexts and China's commitment to attaining a carbon-neutral status, a model simulating different scenarios is needed to analyze the spatiotemporal characteristics and evolutionary process of carbon storage in terrestrial ecosystems accurately. To address this challenge, this study established a coupling model of "Geographical analysis -Evolution analysis -Predicting (GEP)" for assessing ecosystem ECS and analyzing its spatial characteristics and evolutionary patterns and projecting the spatial distribution of ECS under various developmental scenarios, which analyzed variations in ECS across different levels of magnitude and delineated the changing areas across a range of varying scenarios in the future additionally. The outcomes suggested that the ECS decreased by 1.17 × 10
