Using a convolution neural network, these authors show machine learning can clinically diagnose breast cancer with high accuracy.

Here seeking to identify a possible solution to procrastination among college students, the authors used an online experiment that involved the random assignment of study partners that they shared their study time goal with. These partners were classified by status and group membership. The authors found that status and group membership did not significantly affect the likelihood of college students achieving their committed goals, and also suggest the potential of soft commitment devices that take advantage of social relationships to reduce procrastination.

Acid rain has caused devastating decreases in ecosystems across the globe. To mimic the effect of acid rain on the environment, the authors analyzed the growth of gram-negative (Escherichia coli) and gram-positive (Staphylococcus epidermidis) bacteria in agar solutions with different pH levels. Results show that in a given acidic environment there was a significant decrease in bacterial growth with an increase in vinegar concentration in the agar, suggesting that bacterial growth is impacted by the pH of the environment. Therefore, increased levels of acid rain could potentially harm the ecosystem by altering bacterial growth.

The authors looked at preferences of donors to donate between different animal-centered or humanitarian charities.

The authors looked at how injuries sustained during water tubing, that require treatment at an emergency department, differ between males and females.

The authors looked at the ability subjects to rotation a 4D cube and how the ability to practice cube rotation impact their ability to understand 4D space.

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 studied the response of various construction materials to UV solar radiation and heat.

The authors investigated alcohol content of foods during preparation and when ready to serve to determine how much alcohol remained in the food.

The authors looked at how students performed on standardized tests when they were taught material via memorization vs. conceptual based approaches.
