The authors use machine learning on MRI images of brain tissue to predict tumor onset as an avenue for early detection of brain cancer.

The authors explored the effects of the Mount Laurel Doctrine on housing affordability, unemployment rate, and civilian labor force in Burlington County, New Jersey compared to nearby counties.

Here the authors explored the development of biodegradable bioplastic films derived from mango peels as a sustainable solution to plastic pollution and greenhouse gas emissions from fruit waste. They optimized the film's mechanical properties and water resistance through adjusting processing conditions and incorporating plasticizers and a hydrophobic coating, ultimately demonstrating its potential as a bacteriostatic and biodegradable alternative to conventional plastic food wrap.

This study explored the use of environmental DNA (eDNA) methods to detect native Hawaiian decapod species (‘opae), which are difficult to observe manually due to their low density.

The global issue of water quality has led to the use of machine learning models, like ANN and SVM, to predict water potability. However, these models can be complex and resource-intensive. This research aimed to find a simpler, more efficient model for water quality prediction.

This study investigated the impact of pH on the efficiency of calcium phosphate, used as a drug delivery agent.

Pediatric asthma remains a significant health issue for Dallas students. This study examined the relationship between microclimatic parameters, vegetation, and pediatric asthma vulnerability (PAV) in urban schools.

Robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery (RMIS) benefits from increased precision and faster recovery, with force feedback from the surgical tool being critical for control. Researchers tested the use of neural networks for detecting the vanishing point of the tool, a key element for force feedback.

This study examined the impact of erosion on the performance of a triangular aerofoil at a low Reynolds number (Re = 10,000), relevant for harsh conditions like those on Mars.

Here the authors investigated the use of an affordable gas sensor to detect volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions as an early indicator of tree disease, finding statistically significant differences in VOCs between diseased and non-diseased ash, beech, and maple trees. They suggest this sensor has potential for widespread early disease detection, but call for further research with larger sample sizes and diverse locations.
