    Powering the Future:  Comprehensive Strategies for Enhancing Efficiency and Stability in Organic Photovoltaic Cells
    Abstract Organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells hold great promise for sustainable energy generation, offering a low-cost and eco-friendly alternative to traditional solar cells. However, their efficiency and stability remain key challenges. This paper addresses these challenges through a systematic analysis of three optimization strategies: side-chain modifications, interfacial layer engineering, and morphology optimization. Data tables highlight the […]

    Predictive Modelling of a Chess Player’s Style using Machine Learning
    Abstract For many novice and professional chess players, the emergence of ‘unbeatable’ artificial intelligence (AI) chess models has caused an increase reliance on this technology for memorization, losing the creative and analysis provoking aspect of the game. In this paper, I propose the use of AI in chess to enhance the creative aspect of chess […]

  • Evaluation of Future Policies for Stabilizing the Yellowstone Ecosystem through the Advanced Lotka–Volterra Predator-Prey Model
    Abstract Due to increase in human activity, gray wolves in Yellowstone became extinct, which resulted in the exponential growth of elk populations. Although Yellowstone’s decision in 1995 to reintroduce gray wolves stabilized the ecosystem temporarily, the elk population has reincreased again from 2013, which might unstabilize Yellowstone ecosystem again. Due to the lack of research […]

  • How Do Cosmologists Use the CMB to Measure Properties of the Early Universe?
    Abstract The Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) is a relic of the early universe that is essentially a snapshot of the universe shortly after recombination. This paper presents a comprehensive review of CMB Cosmology and the tools used to probe it, synthesizing foundational concepts from textbooks and complementary information from peer-reviewed literature. Beginning with the theory […]

    How Algorithmic Models Affect Public Attitudes and Ethical Considerations Across Different Fields
    Abstract The widespread adoption of advanced Artificial Intelligence models has integrated algorithmic decision-making into numerous fields, providing both benefits and drawbacks that intensify concerns in domains that depend on human nuance. As algorithmic systems adopt roles once reserved for humans, understanding how people evaluate and respond to decisions made by these systems becomes increasingly crucial. […]

    Optimizing Nanoparticle Decoration: Effects of Ligand Valency and Diversity on Nanoparticle Performance in Biomedicine
    Abstract Nanoparticles (NPs) have emerged as valuable tools for various biomedical applications; however, their applications are often limited due to a lack of specificity which leads to adverse side effects. The functionalization of NPs with ligands offers many benefits: improved biocompatibility, extended circulation times, facilitated active targeting, improved receptor-mediated uptake, and induced cellular responses. These […]

    Integrin αVβ8 Structure Prediction and Extension by Changing the Torsion Angles of One Residue in Each Genu
    Abstract Integrins are heterodimeric cell adhesion molecules composed of an alpha subunit and a beta subunit that have many roles in biological processes. Integrins have a bent confirmation with a low affinity for ligands and can switch to an extended conformation with a higher affinity with inside-out activation or binding. Of integrins, αVβ8 plays an […]

    A Queueing Theory and Behavioral Analysis of Pre-Performance Stress in Marching Band Competitions
    Abstract  Marching band competitions require members to perform under pressure after long periods of time waiting before they start the first note of their performance. This study examines the competitive environment of marching band performance and its effects on performers’ emotional states. In particular, the waiting process before performance may influence how nervous, excited, or […]

    A Comparison of the NFW and Isothermal Dark Matter Halo Models in the Andromeda Galaxy
    Abstract The core-cusp problem remains an important problem in the understanding of dark matter halo structures. This paper aims to use mixed tracer Zhang 2024 sources of the rotation curve of the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) to compare the cuspy Navarro-Frenk-White (NFW) and cored Isothermal dark matter density models. We model the galaxy using multiple functions […]

    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 […]

    Global Classification of Ocean Microplastic Concentration Levels Using Machine Learning with Geo-Embeddings
    Abstract Microplastics are a global environmental concern with widespread impacts on marine ecosystems. Predicting oceanic microplastic concentration remains underexplored, as most machine-learning approaches focus on regional settings and rely on features not consistently available worldwide. We propose a global framework that uses universally available spatial inputs (latitude, longitude, ocean, month) augmented with 256-dimensional satellite-derived geo-embeddings. […]

    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 […]
