The authors looked at whether retinal features, specifically lens clarity, optic nerve cupping, and hyperreflective foci, can serve as biomarkers for neuro-ophthalmological diseases, which share pathological mechanisms with neurodegeneration and may indicate broader neurological risk. Using multimodal clinical data and machine learning, they investigated the potential of retinal imaging as a complementary diagnostic tool for more accurate and accessible detection of neurological disorders.

The authors studied the accuracy of two commonly used explainable AI techniques for detecting pneumonia in chest x-rays.

Hydroponics is often promoted as a highly efficient alternative to traditional soil farming, but its effectiveness in small indoor polyculture systems is not well understood. In this study, students compared plant growth and maturity across hydroponic and soil-based indoor polycultures and found that soil grown plants were generally taller and more mature than those grown hydroponically. These results suggest that soil-based methods may outperform hydroponics in certain household polyculture settings.

This study examines how environmental conditions influence the abundance and ecological role of the sea cucumber Opheodesoma spectabilis in Kāneʻohe Bay. Field observations and laboratory experiments showed that the species is more common in algae-dominated sandy habitats, where it improves water clarity and increases dissolved oxygen through bioturbation. However, exposure to very high temperatures caused rapid mortality, suggesting that marine heat waves could threaten this species and the ecological functions it provides.

The authors investigated the efficacy of functionalized graphene oxide nanoparticles for turning saltwater to freshwater.

The authors access a panel of leaf traits across ten deciduous tree species to explore adaptive strategies between large and small trees.

The authors looked at using computer vision to evaluate the degree of exotropia in individuals with strabismus.

Detecting cervical spondylosis using deep learning

The authors looked at how the presence of difference antibiotic resistance genes would influence antibiotic resistance in Staphylococcus aureus.

The authors looked at unionization petitions from Starbucks workers between August 2021 and July 2024 to determine what factors influence votes for or against unionization.
