    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, […]

    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 […]

    Neuro-Symbolic Mapping: Translating Visual Relational Triggers into Discrete DSL Programs
    Abstract Background/Objective: This study examines a controlled visual-to-program prediction task inspired by ARC-style relational reasoning. The task contains six valid four-token programs and is intended as a narrow testbed for studying sequence prediction, positional encoding, and shortcut sensitivity rather than as a direct evaluation on ARC-AGI.Methods: We train an autoregressive Transformer Executor to map flattened […]

    Music and Cognition: A Scoping Review Mapping Evidence Across Exposure, Training, Therapy, and Expertise in Four Cognitive Domains
    Abstract Current literature suggests musical interventions may facilitate enhanced cognition, but the available evidence spans several distinct forms of musical exposure and a wide range of outcome measures, and the scope and consistency of that evidence have not been mapped. This scoping review charts published research on relationships between music exposure and four cognitive domains: […]

    Psychosocial Impact of Chronic Pruritus: How Dimensions of Itch Relate to Mental Health and Quality of Life
    Abstract Chronic pruritus (itch persisting for more than six weeks) is a symptom present in conditions relating to the skin, nerves, and organs. Though it is primarily considered a physical condition, there is emerging evidence linking chronic pruritus with psychological and mental health outcomes like anxiety, depression, impaired sleep, and reduced quality of life. Existing […]

    Electrochemical Production of H2O2 for Fenton-Based Decolorization of Organic Dyes
    Abstract The treatment of organic wastewater remains a serious issue in sustainable development due to the presence of various persistent and toxic compounds. Currently, the advanced oxidation process, especially the Fenton reaction, is a promising method to redress this issue. However, this process needs a continuous addition of external H2O2, which is not only costly […]

    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 […]
