Domestic waste classification using convolutional neural network

The authors developed and tested machine learning methods to diagnose tuberculosis from pulmonary X-ray scans.

Arrhythmias vary in type and treatment, and ECGs are used to detect them, though human interpretation can be inconsistent. The researchers tested four tree-based algorithms (gradient boosting, random forest, decision tree, and extra trees) on ECG data from over 10,000 patients.

This study explores auxin signaling in Chlorella vulgaris, a green alga with potential for sustainable biofuel and food production. Evidence from protoplast swelling experiments suggests that C. vulgaris secretes auxin and possesses auxin import proteins, highlighting previously uncharacterized signaling pathways. These findings could support more efficient cultivation and resource extraction strategies.

The authors describe the design and testing of new guide RNAs targeting the DMPK gene, which is responsible for myotonic dystrophy.

Predicting antibody structures and antibody-antigen complexes using AlphaFold

There is a need for safe and effective therapies to prevent platelet aggregation associated with cardiovascular diseases. Prabhakar and Prabhakar test to see whether dietary supplements claiming to reduce cardiovascular disease risk will affect aggregation of human platelets.

Here the authors examined the relationship between education levels and the gender wage gap (GWG) in the US and Puerto Rico from 2010 to 2022, hypothesizing that higher education would correlate with a lower GWG. Their analysis of income data revealed an inverse correlation, where higher education levels were associated with reduced gender wage disparities, suggesting that policies aimed at closing the gender gap in higher education could promote socioeconomic equality.

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.
