The authors looked at the impact of vitamin A (retinol) on growth of S. epidermidis (most abundant bacterium on the skin) and E. coli (found in the gut microbiome, but not on the skin).
Read More...Stress-induced genetic memory inheritance and retention in Planarian biological model
This study explored whether planaria, known for their regenerative abilities, can retain learned memories after regeneration and how stressors like alcohol affect memory.
Read More...Knowledge gaps for recommended daily sugar intake and variations in McDonald’s Coca-Cola sugar levels
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.
Read More...The efficacy of spent green tea leaves and coffee grounds on the growth of Ocimum basilicum
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.
Read More...Investigating sustainable insulation materials: Analysis of biofoams and petroleum-derived foams
The authors looked into eco-friendly alternatives for insulating material. They ultimately found that a polyurethane derived from eggshells was an effective insulator and further research into it is warranted.
Read More...Strain selective in vitro and in silico structure activity relationship of tetracycline antibiotics
The authors looked at four members of the tetracycline antibiotic family/class against four different species of bacteria.
Read More...The effects of varied N-acetylcysteine concentration and electronegativity on bovine mucus hydrolysis
The authors evaluated the effect of concentration and variant of N-Acetylcysteine in hydrolyzing mucus.
Read More...Comparative life cycle analysis: Solvent recycling and improved dewatering scenarios in PHB plastic production
The authors looked at alternative production processes for PHB plastic in an effort to reduce environmental impact. They found that no alternative process was able to significantly decrease the environmental impact of PHB production, but that optimizing dewatering steps during production could lead to the largest improvement on environmental impact.
Read More...Levering machine learning to distinguish between optimal and suboptimal basketball shooting forms
The authors looked at different ways to build computational resources that would analyze shooting form for basketball players.
Read More...Investigating consumers’ motivations for luxury brand consumption and its impact on mental health
The luxury market has grown through digital marketing, with many brands benefiting from exclusivity, which limits product availability. While exclusivity boosts sales, it may negatively affect consumers' mental health.
