The authors looked at the ability of machine learning algorithms to interpret language given their increasing use in moderating content on social media. Using an explainable model they were able to achieve 81% accuracy in detecting fake vs. real news based on language of posts alone.

Investigation of resonant vibration using cello model

Powered by the sociological framework that exposure to television bleeds into social biases, limiting media representation of women and minority groups may lead to real-world implications and manifestations of racial and gender disparities. To address this phenomenon, the researchers in this article take a look at primetime fictional representation of minorities and women as lawyers and physicians and compare television representation to census data of the same groups within real-world legal and medical occupations. The authors maintain the hypothesis that representation of female and minority groups as television lawyers and doctors is lower than that of their white male counterparts relative to population demographics - a trend that they expect to also be reflected in actual practice. With fictional racial and gender inequalities and corresponding real-world trends highlighted within this article, the researchers call for address towards representation biases that reinforce each other in both fictional and non-fictional spheres.

The authors use blood smears from individuals with sickle cell disease to correlate sickle cell frequency with the occurrence of vaso-occlusive crises.

The authors survey adults to assess how childhood adversity may impact adult relationships and ways of giving or receiving affection.

Investigating the green valley hypotheses of galaxy evolution

The authors looked at developing a PMMA nanoparticle fabric dye that would be more sustainable compared to traditional fabric dyes. They were able to create PMMA based dyes in different colors that were also durable (i.e., did not fade quickly on fabric).

This manuscript evaluates peak detection algorithms for feature extraction in EMG-based hand gesture recognition using a random forest classifier. The study demonstrates that wavelet-based peak detection features achieve the highest classification accuracy (96.5%), outperforming other methods. The results highlight the potential of peak features to improve EMG-based prosthetic control systems.

The authors studied the chemoreception of moon jellyfish in response to food, and developed an AI tool to identify track and quantify the pulsation of swimming jellyfish.

The authors use the unique movements of the jumping gall wasp to study momentum transfer with potential applications in robotics and extraterrestrial research.
