This study used an improved CMS-seq method to profile 5hmC in ormalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples from HNC tumors and adjacent normal tissues, identifying three genes (PRKD2, HADHA, and AIPL1) with promising potential as biomarkers for Head and neck cancer (HNC) diagnosis.

The authors looked at the correlation between being able to speak more than one language (multilingualism) and visual imagery. They found multilingual individuals had higher visual imagery as measured by the VVIQ.

The authors found that SARIMAX-GARCH is more accurate than SARIMAX for load forecasting with respect to energy consumption.

Inherent bias is often the unconscious driver of human behavior, and the first step towards overcoming these biases is our awareness of them. In this article the authors investigate whether race, gender or species affect the choice of charity by middle class Spaniards. Their conclusions serve as a starting point for further studies that could help charities refine their campaigns in light of these biases effectively transcending them or taking advantage of them to improve their fundraising attempts.

Here, beginning from an initial interest in the possibility to use a computer to automatically solve a geometry diagram parser, the authors developed their own Fast Geometry Diagram Parser (FastGDP) that uses clustering and corner information. They compared their own methods to a more widely available, method, GeoSolver, finding their own to be an order of magnitude faster in most cases that they considered.

This study examines how anchoring—providing numerical suggestions like "2 for $4"—can influence consumer purchasing decisions and increase revenue. The researchers tested three types of price anchors on 29 high school students shopping in a mock store.

The authors looked at hydrogen gas production and how reaction temperature, concentration and alkaline solution used impacted the overall reaction with silicon. They found that all alkaline solutions tested would be viable options for using silicon waste to produce hydrogen gas to be used a renewable energy source.

Chronic alcohol consumption can cause cardiac myopathy, which afflicts about 500,000 Americans annually. Gunturi et al. wanted to understand the effects of alcohol on heart rate and confirm the role of nitric oxide (NO) signaling in heart rate regulation. Using the model organism Daphnia magna, a water crustacean with a large, transparent heart, they found that the heart rate of Daphnia magna was reduced after treatment with alcohol. This depression could be reversed after treatment with inhibitors of NO synthesis and signaling. Their work has important implications for how we understand alcohol-induced effects on heart rate and potential treatments to reverse heart rate depression as a result of alcohol consumption.
