Did the COVID-19 pandemic and travel restrictions improve air quality? The authors investigate this question in New York City using existing pollution data and forecasting trends.

Tax incentives for sustainable technology are a key part of the push for a greener future. However, these incentives may not reach all income strata equally. Using a machine learning approach, this study analyzed the distributional effects of residential energy tax credits across different income levels in the United States.

Autonomous drone imaging combined with machine learning offers a promising approach for early detection of invasive species. In this study, students built an autonomous drone and compared three models: CNN, SGDC, and XGBoost, to identify Brassica nigra from aerial footage. Their results show that CNNs most effectively recognize key visual features, demonstrating strong potential for supporting conservation and invasive plant management.

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.

This study used machine learning models to examine which factors most influenced U.S. household energy consumption in 2020 using data from 18,496 households.

This study shows the efficacy of leveraging transfer learning, specifically from residual networks, to detect CVDs and possible signs of CVDs. The findings indicate that leveraging transfer learning from residual networks alongside medical professionals is a highly promising approach for CVD detection and diagnosis, warranting further investigation.

The authors studied the effect of potassium bromate, a common food additive, to cell viability.

This study contributes to our understanding of how urban energy systems respond to climate variability and inform strategies for enhancing power grid resilience. The findings can help inform urban planners and infrastructure developers by identifying the factors that make regions within a power grid more vulnerable.

Understanding and predicting cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease

This manuscript evaluates peak detection algorithms for feature extraction in EMG-based hand gesture recognition using a random forest classifier. The study demonstrates that wavelet-based peak detection features achieve the highest classification accuracy (96.5%), outperforming other methods. The results highlight the potential of peak features to improve EMG-based prosthetic control systems.
