This project investigated whether previously identified genetic risk factors in non-Korean populations were associated with high gastric cancer incidence rates in Koreans.

This study analyzes over two decades of monitoring data (1999-2022) to investigate how legacy mining, reservoir water releases, and dredging activities influence toxic methylmercury (MeHg) levels in San Francisco Bay. The findings reveal a significant delayed correlation between river flow and San Francisco Bay MeHg, and counter to the authors' hypothesis, a strong association between increased MeHg concentrations in the bay and both total annual dredging volume and beneficial sediment reuse / upland sediment disposal.

This study compares traditional and discovery-based instructional methods in online middle school mathematics education. Findings show that discovery-based learning significantly improves students’ academic performance and attitudes, highlighting the value of inquiry-driven instruction for enhancing both understanding and motivation.

The sword is the most important piece of equipment a fencer uses. In this study, we compared the mechanical and physical properties of two of the most common types of swords used in foil fencing.We that found that maraging steel blades had a significantly greater stiffness and were damped more effectively than low carbon steel blades. These properties affect how the blade behaves during particular maneuvers and techniques, and our findings therefore provide useful insights for fencers who want to select the optimal sword configuration to suit their personal style.

The authors studied the effect of different substrates on mycelium biocomposites.

The authors evaluated the effectiveness of common stress-relief strategies used by high schoolers.

The explored the potential of an epitope-based vaccine for Rocio virus using computational methods and M13 bacteriophage technology. Researchers identified 30 promising B- and T-cell epitopes and designed vaccine candidates using both phage display and E. coli expression systems.

This study explored using iron oxide nanoparticles embedded in liposomes and coated with antibacterial chitosan as a potential alternative to antibiotics for treating bacterial meningitis. The nanoparticles were tested for their ability to cross a model blood–brain barrier and kill E. coli, with and without magnetic guidance.

This paper utilizes multiple publicly available cancer datasets to explore the abundance of different genetic dependencies across various cancer types. They explore this by looking at four genes highly associated with cancer and their genetic and pathogenic relationships.

This study combines gene expression, mutation profiling, and survival analysis of 17 clinically important genes in breast cancer, utilizing the TCGA-BRCA dataset. Our results show that there are different patterns of oncogene upregulation, different levels of tumor suppressor activity, and complicated survival associations. TP53 was the most frequently mutated gene in this cohort. The results underscore the significance of multidimensional genomic analyses for a comprehensive understanding of breast cancer biology and its therapeutic ramifications.
