Therefore, the interaction of PMV, color temperature and illuminance, and their effects on the lighting comfort, thermal comfort and learning efficiency under the learning behavior of college students was selected as the objective of study. Interestingly, 60 subjects were selected to conduct questionnaire survey and cognitive tests on the comfort of thermal and lighting environments. The comprehensive comfort factor model was developed to obtain the comprehensive comfort scores and rankings. Furthermore, the optimal learning environment suitable for college students were proposed. The results showed that the PMV has the greatest effect on the overall comfort perception of learning behavior, followed by color temperature and the lowest effect of illuminance. When the PMV is 0.87, it is appropriate to utilize a combination of high color temperature and high illuminance. Conversely, when the PMV is between 0.26 and -0.11, it is good to employ a combination of medium-high color temperature and medium-high illuminance. Conversely, in situations where the PMV is -0.54, a combination of low to medium color temperature and medium to high illuminance is acceptable. Similarly, a combination of low color temperature and medium illuminance is suitable for a PMV of -0.94. The most comfortable learning environment for college students is a combination of high color temperature 4400–4900 K and medium to high illuminance 500–800 lx at a PMV of 0.26.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":36919,"journal":{"name":"Results in Engineering","volume":"26 ","pages":"Article 104658"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143686080","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, these materials are very deficient because they do not have a large surface area. Therefore, it is important to generate advanced materials that combine their properties, as is the case of combining semiconductor materials with porous materials such as zeolites. In this work Titanium Oxide (TiO<sub>2)</sub> nanoparticles were synthesized by the Sol-Gel method, later natural Zeolites (Erionite, Clinoptilolite and Mordenite) were added to obtain TitaniumOxide /Zeolites (TiO<sub>2</sub>/Zeolites) compounds. Furthermore, these composite materials were subjected to heat treatment at 500 °C. Furthermore, the compounds were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and Nitrogen (N<sub>2</sub>) adsorption. Through XRD the different crystallographic structures were determined, being anatase (TiO<sub>2</sub>), hexagonal (Erionite), monoclinic (Clinoptilolite) and orthorhombic (Mordenite). In addition, thanks to EDS, the elemental composition of each compound in relation to oxides was determined. While pore diameters and pore volume were determined in N<sub>2</sub> adsorption by various methods (eg, BJH (Barret, Joiner and Halenda)). As a result, the average pore size ranges from 0.8 to 5.08 nm and the pore volumes are 0.0007–0.2614 cm<sup>3</sup>/g. In addition, the surface area was determined by BET (Brunauer-Emmett-Teller) and Langmuir, where the sample with the lowest surface area was Titanium Oxide -Clinoptilolite (25-75) (TiO<sub>2</sub>-Cli (25-75)) with a value of 14.1 m<sup>2</sup>/g and the one with the highest surface area was Titanium Oxide -Mordenite (25-75) (TiO<sub>2</sub>-Mor (25-75)) with a value of 456 m<sup>2</sup>/g, which means that this sample is the one with the highest adsorption.

The 1:2:2 nanocomposite demonstrated the highest specific laccase-like activity, with values of 8.9 U mg⁻¹ at pH 4 and 9.2 U mg⁻¹ at pH 5. In contrast, single-phase nanozymes exhibited much lower activities. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) revealed that the 1:2:2 composite had a MnFe₂O₄ core and a Mn₃O₄|CuO alloy shell. The study also evaluated natural and synthetic redox mediators—acetosyringone, syringaldehyde, vanillin, and 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HBT)—for their effect on methyl orange degradation. Acetosyringone was the most effective, achieving near-complete degradation at 50 µM and above, resulting in a 6.3-fold increase in degradation rate compared to treatments without mediators. Syringaldehyde and vanillin also enhanced degradation, with syringaldehyde reaching near-complete degradation at 75 µM and 100 µM, while vanillin required higher concentrations for 80 % degradation.

Traditional machine learning (ML) models often lack the predictive power needed for complex telecom data, while black-box models provide limited transparency, reducing trust and actionable insights. This study introduces XAI-Churn TriBoost, an interpretable and explainable data-driven model developed using a dataset of over 2 million records. The model combines extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), categorical boosting (CatBoost), and light gradient boosting machine (LightGBM) in a soft voting ensemble to enhance churn prediction. Data preprocessing included handling missing values through iterative imputation with a Bayesian ridge. Sequential data scaling was implemented by combining robust, standard, and min-max scaling methods to ensure feature consistency. Feature selection was conducted using the Boruta technique with a random forest (RF), and class imbalance in the training data was addressed using the synthetic minority oversampling technique (SMOTE). XAI-Churn TriBoost achieved high predictive performance, with an accuracy of 96.44%, precision of 92.82%, recall of 87.82%, and F1 score of 90.25%. To enhance model transparency, we incorporated explainable artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, specifically local interpretable model-agnostic explanations (LIME) and Shapley additive explanations (SHAP), to interpret individual predictions and identify critical features affecting churn. Key factors impacting churn include regularity and montant, offering TCI valuable insights for targeted retention strategies.
