Multi-perspective drone imagery (adding oblique views to top-down shots) raised crop classification accuracy from 35.73% to 52.93% across five species. The improvement scaled with canopy complexity, from +4.2% for simple rice to +38.1% for structurally complex sugarcane.

The authors investigated the shedding characteristics of polygons at a Reynolds number of 200.

This paper discusses how the conditions at the center of stars affects the nuclear reactions that happen inside these stars. We focused on the effect of temperature and density and found that these two properties interacted to create a greater effect when combined than when separate.

The authors test the antioxidant content of Taiwanese high mountain teas grown in or processed under differing conditions.

The authors test symbiotic relationships among cyanobacteria species to generate more robust cultures for potential biofuel production.

This paper looks at the antibacterial and toxic effects of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) on Escherichia coli bacteria and Drosophila melanogaster fruit flies. They modified the AgNPs size, concentration, and surface coating to determine the effects on each of the organisms. For both organisms, increased AgNP concentration demonstrated increased toxicity but particle size and surface coating had opposing effects.

The authors assess incidence and mortality rates of two cancer types in relation to trihalomethane pollutant concentrations in drinking water.

The authors looked at the ability to use graphite from pencils in anodes of lithium-anode batteries.

The authors test the effects of common food industry preservatives on the heart rate of the freshwater crustacean Daphnia magna.

The authors looked at phytoremediation, the process by which plants are used to remove pollutants from our environment, and the ability of Lemna minor to perform phytoremediation in various simulated polluted environments. The authors found that L. minor could remove pollutants from the environment and that the addition of bacteria increased this removal.
