Summary: This article introduces a tool, arPLS GUI, which utilizes the asymmetrically reweighted Penalized Least Squares (arPLS) method for baseline correction. Implemented in Mathworks Matlab, the tool provides a convenient graphical user interface (GUI) for fast and accurate baseline correction. It also includes a Genetic Algorithm Optimizer for parameter adjustment. The manuscript provides a detailed description of the tool and examples of its application, which can be easily reproduced.

Summary: This work presents the design and implementation of a Zero-Length Column system for measuring diffusion coefficients and adsorption isotherm parameters. The system includes a graphical user interface developed in LabVIEW for semi-automatic operation. The system is unique as it integrates these functionalities without the need for mass spectrometry. Validation experiments using different adsorbents and adsorbates showed consistent results with previous studies. The combination of the experimental setup and GUI significantly reduces the required sample quantity and measurement time compared to conventional methods. The proposed system is relatively inexpensive, robust, easy to construct, and capable of reproducibility.

Summary: This study introduces R-SWAT, an interactive graphical user interface tool for parameter calibration, sensitivity analysis, uncertainty analysis, and visualization of the widely-used eco-hydrological model, SWAT. R-SWAT incorporates various R functions/packages for calibration, sensitivity analysis, and uncertainty analysis, and allows for easy integration of third-party packages. The tool's functionality is demonstrated through a test case study. Overall, R-SWAT has the potential to facilitate the development and testing of new sensitivity or optimization packages, and enhance the understanding of hydrological processes using open-source SWAT and R.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a surge of interest in digital technologies for museums. This study reveals that while museums engaged in numerous online activities during the early phase of the pandemic, they faced various challenges that hindered their ability to offer new forms of digital engagement. Digital solutions served as a temporary substitute for in-person museum experiences, rather than a catalyst for a new digital paradigm in cultural mediation.

Summary: This study explores the design ideas of the public for future digital cultural collections in museums through a series of co-creation workshops. By involving non-experts in ideation and rapid prototyping activities, the researchers investigate how the general public envisions digital interactivity with museums. The analysis reveals the design space of digital collections across three dimensions: individual/social, creation/consumption, and complementary/standalone. The study concludes with design implications for museum professionals to apply these dimensions in the design and implementation of digital collections.

Summary: Virtual reality applications can be effective for emotion regulation and supporting emotional well-being. However, current applications mainly focus on inducing positive emotions, with little research on how users can autonomously express emotions at home. Therefore, there is a need to investigate how emotions can be independently expressed in virtual environments.
