    Syn4MD: Aiding Medical Diagnosis through Image Synthesis and Classification
    Abstract Medical trainees depend on diverse visual reference material to develop diagnostic pattern-recognition skills, yet such material is often limited in diversity and accessibility. This paper presents a classifier-in-the-loop generative framework for synthesising realistic histopathology images: a Stable Diffusion v1.5 model is fine-tuned using Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) on the PathMNIST dataset, consisting of nine colorectal […]

    DiaBreath: Multivariate Analysis of a Non-Selective Low-Cost Metal Oxide (MOX) Sensor Array for Breath-Based Diabetes Screening
    Abstract The number of diabetes patients is increasing worldwide, but many cases stay undiagnosed in low-resource regions. The A1C blood test is invasive and costly, therefore it is often not available in these regions. In this research, DiaBreath is proposed as a low-cost noninvasive screening system based on exhaled breath analysis. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) […]

    A Statistical Physics Approach to Market Dynamics: Regime Shifts in Digital vs. Local Vendor Choice
    Abstract Digital commerce platforms compete with local vendors under frictions of time, price, and visibility. We test whether an interpretable choice model with reinforcement and social influence can yield substantial changes in aggregate market share as control parameters vary. We simulate repeated customer choice among vendors using a utility function that combines vendor attributes (price, […]

    Predicting Limited Service Zones Using GIS-Integrated Machine Learning: A Case Study of Three Cities
    Abstract Local businesses are important to neighborhood service access, but access to these services is limited in some areas. This study uses GIS and machine learning to identify possible limited service zones for restaurants and supermarkets across Dublin, Pleasanton, and Livermore in Alameda County, California. The model dataset included 1,134 Alameda County census block groups, […]

    Estimating Earth’s Temperature Response with Transformed and Augmented OLS
    Abstract The long-term relationship between radiative forcing and surface temperature is central to predicting the impacts of climate change. This study employs multicointegration to characterize this relationship and provides the first application of the Transformed and Augmented Ordinary Least Squares (TAOLS) estimator to estimate the multicointegration model. The main objective is to estimate the Equilibrium […]

    Waste Orange Peel–Derived Electrocatalysts for Efficient Air Cathodes in Zinc-Air Batteries
    Abstract Zinc-air batteries have attracted increasing attention as sustainable energy storage systems due to their high theoretical energy density and low cost. However, their practical application is limited by the reliance on expensive and scarce platinum-based catalysts. In this study, we aimed to develop an iron-doped biomass-derived electrocatalyst from waste orange peels through a high-temperature […]

    The Effect of Natural Error and Eavesdropping on the Performance of the BB84 Quantum Key Distribution Protocol
    Abstract Due to the advent of quantum computing, traditional encryption methods will be rendered vulnerable. To combat this risk, quantum key distribution protocols were developed. The Bennett-Brassard-84 (BB84) protocol is a quantum key distribution protocol designed to securely communicate one-time keys between two parties. One-time keys are a series of binary digits used to encrypt […]

    Examining Median Hourly Wage Differences Between Housed and Homeless Workers Through Descriptive Analysis
    Abstract This observational and cross-sectional study aims to examine the correlation between housing status and hourly wages within the United States, using public microdata from the American Community Survey through IPUMS from 2018 to 2023, while controlling for education, race, sex, and age. Housing inequality is a rising issue in the United States that inhibits […]

    Register Classification of Pedagogical and Commentarial Sanskrit Under Data Scarcity: A Domain-Specific BERT Approach
    Abstract Morphologically rich languages pose challenges for Natural Language Processing (NLP). With highly inflected morphology and sandhi, and under data scarcity, Sanskrit presents a challenge for building natural language processing tools. The default solution for such languages is generic multilingual models, which do not fully solve the problem because Sanskrit is poorly represented in their […]

    A PCA-Based Framework for Injury Risk Profiling Using Basketball Training and Biomechanical Datasets
    Abstract Athlete monitoring for injury surveillance in basketball generates a large amount of data pertaining to player health and training. A number of collected variables may be correlated, which makes injury risk analysis challenging. In this study, a Principal Component Analysis (PCA) based framework was developed for injury risk profiling and evaluated using three publicly […]

    Environmental Suitability Modeling for Solar Installations Using Convolutional Neural Networks
    Abstract As technology has increased, energy demand has also increased. Conventional methods of producing energy also produce harmful byproducts that damage the environment. Due to this issue, people have turned to renewable energy sources like solar power as an alternative. However, few consider the environmental impact of these solar panels. Most studies evaluate the production […]

    Comparative Performance Analysis of Hollow and Annular Combustors in Rotating Detonation Engines
    Abstract Rotating detonation engines (RDEs) have emerged as a promising propulsion technology, offering superior thermodynamic efficiency over conventional Brayton-cycle engines due to their utilization of detonation combustion. Annular combustors (with inner and outer walls) are typically used in RDEs. However, hollow—lacking an inner wall—combustors are emerging as a promising alternative due to their potential mitigation […]

    Numerical Exploration of HOBO vs. QUBO: Using Sudoku as a Benchmark
    Abstract Sudoku, with its complex combinatorial structure, provides a natural NP-hard benchmark for testing optimization models. In this study, we quantitatively compare Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization (QUBO) and Higher-Order Binary Optimization (HOBO). While QUBO is compatible with quantum computers, it is often evaluated on classical simulators known as quantum simulators which calculates with tensor network […]

    Climate, Wealth, and the Share of Roads that Are Bike Lanes Across Cities
    Abstract This paper explores how local climate is related to the creation of urban cycling systems. We examine an international sample of cities to establish whether such elements as temperature and precipitation are related to the degree of committed bike infrastructure. With the help of OpenStreetMap data, in the form of the OSMnx, and climate […]
