Cross country is a popular sport in the U.S. Both athletes and coaches are interested in the factors that make runners successful. In this study, the authors explore the relationship between runners' physical attributes and their race performance.

The authors examined the effect of varying glucose concentrations on cut rose longevity.

The authors looked at public knowledge regarding suggested daily limits for sugar intake and then looked at how sugar levels vary in the same drink obtained from different sources and across different days.

The authors looked at fertilizer derived from coffee ground tea leaves, measuring the effectiveness by measuring the height, weight, and number of leaves on basil plants.

The authors looked at the impacts of short-chain fatty acids on muscle fiber formation as well as insulin sensitivity using a model of mouse myoblasts.

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

Here, seeking to better understand how facial features provide important visual cues to help convey emotions, the authors evaluated the accuracy and reaction time of participants in regards to experimental photographs where a person's eyebrows were obscured and ones where they were not. Their findings revealed that removing eyebrows resulted in a significant decrease in a participant's ability to recognize anger, with adolescents most likely to misidentify emotions.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) can cause significant impairment, and studies indicate that delays in diagnosis and treatment lead to worse outcomes. This study aimed to assess whether these delays have improved over the past three decades and to identify their causes.

The authors use the Census Household Pulse Survey issued by the US Census Bureau to examine the prevalence of stress and depression among people across socioeconomic statuses.

This article explores the largely unstudied impact of noise pollution on plant life. By exposing Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings to urban traffic noise, the study found a significant increase in seedling growth, alongside substantial changes in gene expression. This research reveals critical insights into how noise pollution affects plant physiology and contributes to a broader understanding of its ecological impacts, helping to guide future efforts in ecosystem conservation.
