    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, […]

  • Pathway-Level Immune Signatures Associated with Sublingual Immunotherapy in Allergic Rhinitis
    Abstract Allergic rhinitis is a common disorder characterized by an exaggerated immune response to environmental allergens such as pollen. Sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) has the potential to reduce symptoms and provide long-term clinical benefit, however, the transcriptomic signatures of treatment response are not fully characterized. Most of the previous studies have focused on identifying individual differentially […]

    SkinGuard: Design and Preliminary Engineering Feasibility of a Low-Cost Prototype for Longitudinal At-Home Eczema Self-Monitoring
    Abstract Background/Objective: Patients manage eczema at home with skin care between doctor visits. There are already some digital tools for eczema care, mainly focusing on photo analysis and information access. Eczema flare-ups are linked to many environmental factors. A patient’s condition changes over time, and each patient responds differently even under the same environmental conditions. […]

    A2A–cAMP–K⁺ Pathway Modeling in Dopamine-Depleted Striatal Medium Spiny Neurons
    Abstract Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease resulting in motor impairment due to the decline of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra. Adenosine A2A receptor antagonists have been identified as alternative adjunct therapeutic options for Parkinson’s disease motor fluctuations, but very few computational models have explicitly integrated A2A receptor signaling, cAMP signaling, and modulation […]

    Urban Heat Island Effects and Environmental Justice: An Exploratory Qualitative Pilot Study
    Abstract This exploratory, qualitative pilot study examined how residents of neighborhoods with elevated land surface temperatures describe the effects of urban heat exposure on their health, finances, and daily lives, and how those effects relate to pre-existing patterns of environmental injustice. Prior research has documented the physical causes and general mechanisms of urban heat islands […]

    Evaluating the Diagnostic Accuracy of Differential Gene Expression Profiles in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs) for Celiac Disease: A Systematic Review
    Abstract Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder triggered by gluten intake. The gliadin molecule, which is a substructure of gluten, induces an immune response by CD4+ T-cells when deamidated by the transglutaminase 2 enzyme. This reaction damages the small intestine lining, resulting in villous atrophy. Diagnosis is known to be invasive due to the use […]

    Daily Habits, Stress, and GPA: A Cross-Sectional Analysis of Lifestyle Factors Among College Students
    Abstract Objective: This research investigates the effect of behavioral and environmental factors on college students’ academic performance, measured by GPA. This was to examine the linear relationships of six daily habits: study time, sleeping, involvement in social activities, participation in extracurricular activities, physical exercise, and stress level. The research seeks to determine which habits have […]

    Misinformation Spread as a Graph Process: Network Topology, Structural Immunization, and Regime Dependence
    Abstract Network structure can alter how rapidly misinformation-like contagion spreads and which nodes are most valuable to protect. This study compared susceptible-infected-recovered-type diffusion on 1,000-node Erdős-Rényi (ER), Watts-Strogatz (WS), and Barabási-Albert (BA) networks. One hundred graph realizations per topology were analyzed without intervention, and eight structural-immunization strategies were tested at 1%, 5%, and 10% coverage: […]

    Torque Response to Input Currents in Electrically Excited Synchronous Motors Using Finite Element Method
    Abstract In this study, we constructed a two-dimensional magnetostatic finite element method (FEM) model that simulates the magnetic field distribution and calculates the torque generated by an electrically excited synchronous motor (EESM). A cross-sectional model of an EESM was created, with region-specific relative magnetic permeability and equivalent current densities in the windings. Specifically, our algorithm […]

    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 […]

    Historical Redlining, Pollution Burden, and SB 535 Designation in California
    Abstract In the 1930s, Home Owners’ Loan Corporation (HOLC) residential security maps divided city neighborhoods into grades, from A (“best”) to D (“hazardous”); those lower-grade neighborhoods have been regarded as related to lasting social and environmental inequalities, although the maps were not the sole mechanism by which such inequalities arose. We examined whether historical HOLC […]
