Open and Reproducible Approaches for Urban Climate and Building Performance Modelling
Introduction Buildings and construction remain a major driver of global environmental change, accounting for approximately 34% of global CO₂ emissions and 32% of global energy consumption. At the same time, climate change, urban heat, and increasing environmental stressors are intensifying the need for robust, transparent, and scalable approaches to urban and building performance assessment. Advances in digital technologies, open-source computational tools, urban datasets, and interoperable workflows are transforming how researchers and practitioners investigate urban environments, evaluate mitigation strategies, and support evidence-based decision-making. As urban environmental modelling becomes increasingly data- and computation-intensive, reproducibility, interoperability, transparency, and reusable workflows are emerging as critical scientific challenges. While significant advances have been made in simulation platforms, digital twins, AI-assisted analytics, and urban-scale environmental modelling, methodological fragmentation, limited reproducibility, inconsistent data practices, and software interoperability barriers continue to hinder knowledge transfer and large-scale implementation across different climatic and urban contexts. This issue, “ Open and Reproducible Approaches for Urban Climate and Building Performance Modelling ”, aims to advance open and transferable urban environmental modelling ecosystems capable of supporting climate-responsive research and practice across different climatic and urban contexts.

Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae Infection
Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp) is distinguished from classical K. pneumoniae by its ability to cause community-acquired, invasive infections, such as pyogenic liver abscess and endophthalmitis, even in healthy individuals, whereas the classical form typically leads to opportunistic healthcare-associated infections. Globally, the dominant clone responsible for these hypervirulent invasive infections is K. pneumoniae clonal group 23, which includes sequence type 23. Hypervirulent K. pneumoniae clones are typically characterized by the presence of capsular serotype K1 and a set of hypervirulence-associated genes, such as ybt , iuc , iro , rmpA , and rmpA2 , often encoded on dedicated hypervirulence plasmids. These genetic determinants are central to the hypervirulent phenotype. Although antimicrobial resistance has not traditionally been a hallmark of hvKp, the recent emergence of carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent K. pneumoniae has been increasingly reported worldwide. This topic showcases cutting-edge research on the mechanisms underlying hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae infections, with a particular focus on genetic and molecular factors driving both hypervirulence and antimicrobial resistance. We welcome the submission of original research articles, reviews, and perspectives that contribute to this rapidly evolving and exciting area of microbiology and medicine. Please contact Dr. Atsushi Togawa , Dr. Anthony R. Tam if you have any questions.

Multimodal Generative Models for Biomechanics Data Fusion and Simulation
Introduction In recent years, the rapid evolution of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has begun to reshape how we study, model, and interpret human movement and physiological processes. At the same time, advances in sensing technologies -ranging from wearable devices and motion capture systems to thermal imaging and biomedical sensors - have made it possible to collect increasingly rich and diverse streams of biomechanical data. These developments are creating new opportunities, but also new challenges, for researchers and practitioners working in healthcare, rehabilitation, and human performance science. One of the most promising directions emerging from this convergence is the use of multimodal generative models to integrate and simulate complex biomechanical information. Rather than analyzing individual data sources in isolation, these models allow researchers to bring together heterogeneous signals-such as kinematic measurements, thermal patterns, physiological indicators, and imaging data-into coherent representations that better reflect the dynamic nature of the human body. Beyond improving data integration, generative models are increasingly being used to address practical limitations that many researchers encounter in real-world settings. For example, they can help generate realistic synthetic datasets when clinical samples are limited, support personalized simulations for patient-specific rehabilitation planning, and enable predictive modeling of injury risk or recovery trajectories. In thermal and biomechanical applications, these capabilities are particularly valuable for monitoring physiological stress, understanding tissue responses, and designing adaptive intervention strategies. Looking ahead, the combination of multimodal sensing, generative modeling, and biomechanical simulation is likely to become a foundational component of next-generation digital health systems. Concepts such as digital twins, continuous health monitoring, and intelligent rehabilitation platforms are gradually moving from research prototypes toward practical deployment. Achieving this transition will require not only methodological innovation but also careful attention to reliability, interpretability, and integration with clinical workflows. This issue, “ Multimodal Generative Models for Biomechanics Data Fusion and Simulation ”, aims to provide a forum for researchers, engineers, clinicians, and practitioners who are exploring how multimodal generative models can support more realistic, scalable, and clinically meaningful biomechanical analysis and simulation. We particularly welcome contributions that bridge methodological development with practical implementation, and that demonstrate clear relevance to health informatics, rehabilitation, sports science, or biomedical engineering. The Issue Topics Multimodal Generative Modeling Generative AI (GenAI) models for multimodal biomechanical data integration Diffusion models, variational autoencoders, and Generative Adversarial Network (GAN)-based simulation Multimodal representation learning for physiological and motion data Synthetic data generation for healthcare and biomedical research Data-driven modeling under limited or noisy datasets Uncertainty-aware and probabilistic generative modeling Healthcare and Health Informatics Applications AI-enabled rehabilitation and recovery monitoring Remote health monitoring using multimodal sensors Intelligent decision support systems for clinical environments Personalized healthcare and adaptive treatment planning Assistive technologies for aging populations Movement analysis for neurological and musculoskeletal disorders Academic Editors Prof. Mu-Yen Chen, Ph.D (H-Index: 44) Email: mychen119@gs.ncku.edu.tw Affiliation: Department of Engineering Science, National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan Website: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=3LR7DhgAAAAJ&hl=zh-TW Dr. Mu-Yen Chen is a Distinguished Professor of Engineering Science at National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan.
