Chemicals used in fertilizers and pesticides often end up in nearby bodies of water due to runoff and may have negative impacts on these important ecosystems. In this study, the authors use water containing different nitrogen levels to investigate the effect on the growth of the English daisy.

Microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi live everywhere in the world around us. The authors here demonstrate that these predominantly harmless microbes can be isolated from many household locations that appear "clean." Further, they test the cleaning power of 70% ethanol and suggest that many "clean" surfaces are not in fact "sterile."

The authors studied hippocampal gene expression in Alzheimer's disease.

This study examined behavioral and psychological predictors of burnout among high school and university students in Pakistan using survey data and machine-learning models. Shorter sleep and greater mental fatigue—especially fatigue—were associated with higher burnout risk, while a Random Forest model successfully identified students at risk of burnout.

Tax incentives for sustainable technology are a key part of the push for a greener future. However, these incentives may not reach all income strata equally. Using a machine learning approach, this study analyzed the distributional effects of residential energy tax credits across different income levels in the United States.

Pathogenic bacteria cause major economic losses in agriculture, and widespread antibiotic use has led to increasing resistance. This study tested whether a low-cost DIY method could produce antibacterial colloidal silver effective against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive plant pathogens.

Understanding and predicting cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease

This paper looks at using spent coffee grounds as a partial substitute for titanium dioxide (TiO₂) as a catalyst for chemical reactions. Using UV-Vis spectrophotometry, they found that adding the coffee grounds to TiO₂ in a 3:1 ratio, there is still meaningful catalytic activity. This offers a cheaper solution than just using pure TiO₂.

The authors looked at the difference in investing in stock vs. mutual funds.

The authors looked at ways that seizures in patients with glioblastoma could be treated using C. elegans as a model system.
