The authors investigated adoption rates of solar photovoltaic power at K-12 schools in California.
Read More...Ultraviolet exposure and thermal mass variation on surface temperature responses in building materials
The authors studied the response of various construction materials to UV solar radiation and heat.
Read More...Fire detection using subterranean soil sensors
The authors looked at how soil temperature changes with fire to develop a sensor system that could aid in earlier detection of fires.

The authors train a neural network to detect text-based emotions including joy, sadness, anger, fear, love, and surprise.
Read More...PID and fuzzy logic optimization of the pitch control of wind turbines
Wind turbines are a valuable source of renewable energy, but face challenges related to unpredictable wind speed. The turbine must be able to control its angle to catch enough wind to generate electricity, while avoiding excess wind that may damage the turbine. Zhou and Wang explore different types of smart turbine controllers to see which appears optimal for electricity generation.

Here, the authors compared financial advice output by chat-GPT to actual Reddit comments from the "r/Financial Planning" subreddit. By assessing the model's response content, length, and advice they found that while artificial intelligence can deliver information, it failed in its delivery, clarity, and decisiveness.
