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.

Depression affects millions globally, yet identifying symptoms remains challenging. This study explored detecting depression-related patterns in social media texts using natural language processing and machine learning algorithms, including decision trees and random forests. Our findings suggest that analyzing online text activity can serve as a viable method for screening mental disorders, potentially improving diagnosis accuracy by incorporating both physical and psychological indicators.

Pay is a widely debated factor in workplace motivation, influencing both incentives and job satisfaction. This work analyzed employee reviews across various industries to examine the relationship between pay importance and job satisfaction. Findings suggest that job satisfaction decreases as the importance of pay increases, particularly in construction, food, and finance industries, as well as among entry-level and experienced workers, though the results were not statistically significant.

Building on previous work by earlier astronomers, the authors investigate the correlation between the density and size of celestial objects in the universe, including neutron stars, galaxies, and galaxy clusters.

Authors examine the impact of environmental noise on cognitive processes in teenagers, focusing on five different noise conditions: two types of noise (aircraft and construction) at two different decibel levels (30 dBA and 60 dBA) and a quiet condition.
