The study explored converting Gracilaria seaweed waste—known for releasing toxic hydrogen sulfide when decomposed—into biochar as a sustainable solution for waste management and soil improvement.
Read More...Predicting clogs in water pipelines using sound sensors and machine learning linear regression
The authors looked the ability of sound sensors to predict clogged pipes when the sound intensity data is run through a machine learning algorithm.

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.
Read More...Growth of Staphylococcus epidermidis and Escherichia coli when exposed to anti-acne vitamin A
The authors looked at the impact of vitamin A (retinol) on growth of S. epidermidis (most abundant bacterium on the skin) and E. coli (found in the gut microbiome, but not on the skin).

The authors looked at whether they could induce the formation of new neurons from astrocytes via the upregulation of a microRNA (miR-124a). They found that upregulation of miR-124a started transdifferentiation of neurons, but was not enough to lead to full conversion of astrocytes to neurons.

The authors created a 1D model to diagnose hepatomegaly and cirrhosis via ultrasound of the liver.
Read More...Crystallization kinetics of vanillin thin films
In this study, the authors investigate the crystallization kinetics of vanillin thin films from a solution or a melt, as well as how a silane coating on the glass surface affects these properties.

Depression affects millions globally, yet identifying symptoms remains challenging. This study explored detecting depression-related patterns in social media texts using natural language processing and machine learning algorithms, including decision trees and random forests. Our findings suggest that analyzing online text activity can serve as a viable method for screening mental disorders, potentially improving diagnosis accuracy by incorporating both physical and psychological indicators.
