The Biological Science & Technology category serves as a central platform for exploring contemporary technologies and the complexities of living organisms and the fundamental mechanisms that drive biological systems. We emphasize high-impact research spanning molecular biology, genetics, ecology, biotechnology, and physiological systems. This research helps us document vital discoveries, ranging from microscopic cellular processes to large-scale ecosystem dynamics, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of life in our rapidly changing environment.
Pneumonia, a fatal lung disease, is caused by infection of Streptococcus pneumoniae; it is detected by chest x-rays that reveal inflammation of the alveoli. However, the efficiency by which it is diagnosed can be improved through the use of artificial intelligence. Convolutional neural networks (CNN...
The areas of the brain that become active when formulating a lie, or “deceit patterns, are denoted on fMRI scans, yielding results that are more accurate than the polygraph. Using publicly available court records and fMRI results obtained from previous literature, the extent to wh...
This project applies a new theory in the field of intergroup conflict known as “Gateway group theory,” which posits that to decrease conflict between two groups, a third group with specific characteristics that appeal to both sides needs to be identified, enabling them to act as a medium...
Effective health insurance policies are of the utmost importance as they shape the lives of and provide safety to billions of people worldwide. Under the broader umbrella of general health insurance, the high-deductible health plan (HDHP) is a relatively recent idea. The HDHP essentially consists of...
Extreme weather events are becoming more prevalent with increasing global temperatures. In the Northeastern U.S., spring frost events are destroying forest ecosystems by defoliating newly budded trees. In order to grasp a better understanding of community dynamics and carbon fluxes, it is imperative...
Through platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, hotels are appealing to diverse audiences, leveraging influencer and celebrity voices that resonate with specific demographics. Combining social media, influencer partnerships, celebrity endorsements, and user-generated content provides a str...

Recently, publications displaying landfills dominated by wind turbine blades, composed primarily of composite materials, have caused public anxieties to rise. Though there has been much research analyzing the benefits of thermoplastic alternatives, such substances, though preferable, are limited by ...
