Gamma radiation can be produced by both natural and man-made sources and abnormally high exposure levels could lead to an increase in cell damage. In this study, gamma radiation was measured at different locations and any correlation with various geographic factors, such as distance from a city center, elevation and proximity to the nearest nuclear reactor, was determined.

In this study, the authors use high-throughput virtual screening to design and evaluate a set of non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors for binding affinity to the protein reverse transcriptase. These studies have important applications toward HIV therapies.

To explore the parent-child relationship during college planning, authors surveyed high school juniors from two private schools (boarding school vs. non-boarding parochial school). After coding, survey answers indicate students at boarding schools were found to have greater fear of parental control and disappointment, while students at non-boarding parochial schoolexpressed a greater need for parental assistance.

Hydrogen sulfide is toxic at high concentrations, but at low concentrations may be helpful for plant growth. This study characterizes the effect of hydrogen sulfide exposure on leafy plant growth. Bok choy hearts were grown in the presence of hydrogen sulfide, and measured for new leaf growth and flowering.

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 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.

This study investigates the migration intentions of Syrian high school and university students amid ongoing conflict and economic instability. Drawing on survey data, the research examines how academic stage influences migration motivations, preferred destinations, and return intentions. The findings reveal a widespread desire to emigrate, driven by educational, economic, and security concerns, highlighting significant implications for Syria’s future workforce and post-conflict recovery.

Black goji berries have attracted interest for their high levels of anthocyanin pigment, which believed to have health-boosting effects. Yu and Zhu research a method for measuring goji berry quality by detecting anthocyanin content under different conditions.

Zoos offer educational and scientific advantages but face high maintenance costs and challenges in animal care due to diverse species' habits. Challenges include tracking animals, detecting illnesses, and creating suitable habitats. We developed a deep learning framework called SmartZoo to address these issues and enable efficient animal monitoring, condition alerts, and data aggregation. We discovered that the data generated by our model is closer to real data than random data, and we were able to demonstrate that the model excels at generating data that resembles real-world data.

In this study, the authors conduct a survey of high school students to evaluate the effects of screen time and habits on motivation.
