The authors test the effects of pH level on different kinds of dental cement to model the long-term effects of reflux-induced stomach acid exposure.

Understanding and predicting cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease

Textile waste from the fashion industry is a major environmental pollutant, but recycling waste into novel building material is a strategy to reduce the negative effects. This manuscript characterized five different binders that can be used to repurpose textile waste into bricks for construction purposes. Water-based glue, cement, white cement, plaster of Paris, and epoxy resin were mixed with shredded textile waste, and the mechanical characteristics and thermal insulation of each brick type were measured. Bricks with increased mechanical strength had the poorest thermal resistance, and the contrasting properties would suit different building purposes. This work provides a first step in generating recycled textile bricks for construction in a circular economy framework.

This study investigates how the hyperparameters epochs and batch size affect the classification accuracy of a convolutional neural network (CNN) trained on pulsar candidate data. Our results reveal that accuracy improves with increasing number of epochs and smaller batch sizes, suggesting that with optimized hyperparameters, high accuracy may be achievable with minimal training. These findings offer insights that could help create more efficient machine learning classification models for pulsar signal detection, with the potential of accelerating pulsar discovery and advancing astrophysical research.

Detecting cervical spondylosis using deep learning

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 developed a quantum inspired model for stock market fluctuations.

The authors looked at how the length of an audio clip used of a song impacted the ability to properly classify it by musical genre.

The authors survey teenagers within the United States regarding the effect of social media use on sleep quality and attention span.

The authors combine fine needle aspiration biopsy and machine learning algorithms to develop a breast cancer detection method suitable for resource-constrained regions that lack access to mammograms.
