\section{Introduction}

The Introduction section serves to set the stage for your research by providing background information, outlining the research problem, and stating the study's objectives.

\section{Methods}

The methods section should provide a detailed description of the research design and methodologies used to conduct the study.

\subsection{Level 2 heading}

\subsubsection{Level 3 heading}

\textit{Tips:}

\begin{itemize}
	\item \textit{Research design: Specify whether the study is qualitative, quantitative, or mixed-methods and justify the choice.}
	\item \textit{Data collection: Describe how data were collected (e.g., experiments, simulations, site visits, design evaluations, user studies, computational modeling).}
	\item \textit{Materials and tools: List key tools, software, or materials used (e.g., CAD software, models, analytical frameworks).}
	\item \textit{Procedure: Outline the research process step by step to ensure reproducibility.}
	\item \textit{Data analysis: Explain how data were analyzed (e.g., statistical, thematic, or visual analysis methods).}
\end{itemize}

\section{Results and Discussion}

In the Results and Discussion section, authors should organize the content around key themes or research questions, presenting results followed immediately by their discussion. Use figures, tables, and graphs to illustrate findings, emphasizing key results relevant to the study objectives. Interpret results in context, compare them with existing literature, and address any unexpected outcomes with possible explanations. Finally, synthesize the overall findings to highlight major patterns, theoretical insights, and practical implications, demonstrating how the study advances the field or suggests future research directions.

\textbf{Table 1} (other forms: Table 1 and Table 2), \textbf{Figure 1} (other forms: Figure 1A,B; Figure 2a,b,c; Figure 1 and Figure 2A) and \textbf{Equation (1)} [other forms: Equation (2) and Equation (3)] show the examples of diagrams. All the tables, figures and equations should be cited in sequence in the main content near to the first time they appear. For supplementary material, authors may cite table, equation and figure like \textbf{Table S1}, \textbf{Figure S1} and \textbf{Equation S(1)}.
