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).

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...Mitigating open-set misclassification in a colorectal cancer detecting neural network
The authors develop a machine learning method to reduce misclassification of objects in safety-critical applications such as medical diagnosis.
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...Recombinant preparation and characterization of ADH1C and ALDH2 in alcohol metabolism
The authors test the activity of two purified human alcohol detoxification enzymes, alcohol dehydrogenase and aldehyde dehydrogenase.
Read More...Does emotion regulation moderate the relationship between self-esteem and social desirability?
The authors investigate the relationship between self-esteem, social desirability, and emotion regulation in children and adolescents.
Read More...Evaluating the antimicrobial activity of maitake mushroom extract against Staphylococcus epidermidis
Here, seeking to explore new antimicrobial therapies, the authors investigated the antimicrobial activity of Maitake mushroom extract against Staphylococcus epidermidis, a common cause of antibiotic resistant hospital-acquired infections. They found that Maitake extract showed potent antimicrobial activity, with higher concentrations showing inhibition comparable to tetracycline.
Read More...Investigating momentum transfer with gall-forming wasps
The authors use the unique movements of the jumping gall wasp to study momentum transfer with potential applications in robotics and extraterrestrial research.
Read More...Using neural networks to detect and categorize sounds
The authors test different machine learning algorithms to remove background noise from audio to help people with hearing loss differentiate between important sounds and distracting noise.
Read More...Impacts of the gut microbiota on arginine synthesis
In this article the authors looked at arginine synthesis across different bacteria commonly found in different regional diets. They found that B. megaterium and C. sporogenes both caused a higher pH to occur on their agar plates compared to other bacteria tested indicating a greater amount of arginine synthesis.
