Engineered bacteria that degrade oil are currently being considered as a safe option for the treatment of oil spills. For this approach to be successful, the bacteria must effectively express oil-degrading genes they uptake as part of an external genoming vehicle called a "plasmid". Using a computational approach, the authors investigate plasmid-bacterium compatibility to find pairs that ensure high levels of gene expression.

This study examined behavioral and psychological predictors of burnout among high school and university students in Pakistan using survey data and machine-learning models. Shorter sleep and greater mental fatigue—especially fatigue—were associated with higher burnout risk, while a Random Forest model successfully identified students at risk of burnout.

The authors used Monte Carlo simulations to assess the impacts of various factors on neonatal seizure risk.

The authors train a neural network to detect text-based emotions including joy, sadness, anger, fear, love, and surprise.

AI analysis of brain scans offers promise for helping doctors diagnose brain tumors. Haider and Drosis explore this field by developing machine learning models that classify brain scans as "cancer" or "non-cancer" diagnoses.

The authors use machine learning to analyze electroencephalogram data and identify slowing patterns that can indicate undetected disorders like epilepsy or dementia

Pulmonary diseases like lung cancer and valley fever pose serious health challenges, making accurate and rapid diagnostics essential. This study developed a MATLAB-based software tool that uses computer vision techniques to differentiate between these diseases by analyzing features of lung nodules in CT scans, achieving higher precision than traditional methods.

There are believed to be ~20,000 nebulae in the Milky Way Galaxy. However, humans have only cataloged ~1,800 of them even though we have gathered 1.3 million nebula images. Classification of nebulae is important as it helps scientists understand the chemical composition of a nebula which in turn helps them understand the material of the original star. Our research on nebulae classification aims to make the process of classifying new nebulae faster and more accurate using a hybrid of deep learning and machine learning techniques.

In this article the authors created an interaction map of proteins involved in colorectal cancer to look for driver vs. non-driver genes. That is they wanted to see if they could determine what genes are more likely to drive the development and progression in colorectal cancer and which are present in altered states but not necessarily driving disease progression.

In this study the authors looked at developing a more efficient particle collision classification method with the goal of being able to more efficiently analyze particle trajectories from large-scale particle collisions without loss of accuracy.
