Read More...The optical possibilities of gelatin
Here the authors investigated the optical possibilities of gelatin and acrylic in regards to potential implementations at soft contact lenses. They fabricated lenses of different shapes and evaluated the refraction of laser light finding that gelatin needed to be thickened or increased in curvature to account for its lower refractive index compared to plastics, or used in a mixture to strengthen the lens.

The authors compare nutritional content of foods found in Western versus Asian grocery stores to determine whether one cultural diet is healthier than the other.
Read More...A colorimetric investigation of copper(II) solutions
In this study, the authors investigate the effects of acetone on the color of copper chloride (CuCl2) solution, which has important implications for detecting copper in the environment.
Read More...An analysis of junior rower performance and how it is affected by rower's features
In this study, with consideration for the increasing participation of high school students in indoor rowing, the authors analyzed World Indoor Rowing Championship data. Statistical analysis revealed two key features that can determine the performance of a rower as well as increasing competitiveness in nearly all categories considered. They conclude by offering a 2000-meter ergometer time distribution that can help junior rowers assess their current performance relative to the world competition.

Minimal Change Disease (MCD) is a degenerative kidney disease. Researchers know very little about the cause of this disorder, however some research has suggested that T lymphocytes may be involved. In this study, the authors measure CD4 and CD8 T cell subpopulations in patients with MCD to investigate whether irregular T lymphocyte populations may be involved in MCD pathogenesis.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder and is difficult to diagnose in young children. Here magnetoencephalography was used to compare the brain activity in patients with ASD to patients in a control group. The results show that patients with ASD have a high level of activity in different areas of the brain than those in the control group.
Read More...Decline in vocabulary richness in individuals with Alzheimer's disease
The authors looked at how vocabulary is impacted in Alzheimer's disease and whether it could be used a predictor of disease onset.
Read More...Visualizing black holes and wormholes through raytracing
The authors visualized black holes and wormholes using code and ray-tracing programs.
Read More...The effect of calcium on mealworm iron metabolism
The authors looked at the impact of calcium on iron absorption in mealworms, hypothesizing that calcium would inhibit iron absorption.
