The authors test electrocardiography biofeedback as a treatment for individuals with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome.
Read More...Primary source of dietary protein is correlated with differences in the intestinal microbiome diversity
We know relatively little about how vegan diets and non-vegan diets compare when it comes to the gut microbiome. Gollamudi and Gollamudi tackle this challenge by investigating how changes in a participant's diet affected the diversity of their intestinal microbiome.
Read More...Applying centrality analysis on a protein interaction network to predict colorectal cancer driver genes
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 article the authors look at the lung microbiome in patients with cystic fibrosis to determine what the major bacterial species present are.
Read More...Implementing machine learning algorithms on criminal databases to develop a criminal activity index
The authors look at using publicly available data and machine learning to see if they can develop a criminal activity index for counties within the state of California.
Read More...A chemical and overwintering honey bee apiary field study comparing new and expired amitraz miticide
In this study, the authors test the longevity of a anti-mite compound, amitraz, in commercially-sold strips and the age-dependent efficacy of these strips in preventing honey bee colony collapse by ectoparasitic mite Varroa destructor.
Read More...The effect of workspace tidiness on schoolwork performance of high school students
In this study, the authors investigate the effect of disorganization and messiness on high school students' ability to perform well on a standardized test.

The authors set to test a system that would help with the dehumidification and overall management of greehouses.
Read More...The study of technology and the use of individual cognitive effort
A trial study was performed in 2021 to investigate the link between technology and transactive memory. Transactive memory is shared knowledge in which members share the responsibility to encode, store, and retrieve certain tasks or assignments, leading to a successful and collective performance. We hypothesize that a participants’ expected access to an external source affects the recall rate and retrieval of information.
