Forensic science has long relied on two key methods: analyzing fingerprints and extracting DNA. Both are crucial in solving crimes. However, getting clear fingerprints and extracting DNA from the same sample can be tough. This is especially true when the fingerprints are not clear enough. In such ca
Water quality is a big deal. It's important for our environment and the systems we build. Alkalinity is a key part of water quality. It's been measured in many ways, from old-school titrations to fancy spectrophotometric and electrochemical methods. Each has its pros and cons. But what if there was
Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) and chronic headaches, like migraines and tension headaches, are common health issues that can greatly affect daily life. Recent studies suggest that these two conditions might be closely linked, with each one potentially influencing the other. To explore this c
Finding the perfect tool to help someone with a disability can be a daunting task. There are countless options available, and it can be overwhelming to sift through them all. This is where artificial intelligence (AI) steps in. AI has the potential to revolutionize the way assistive technology (AT)
Dairy farms in Wales are facing a significant challenge with antimicrobial resistance (AMR). To tackle this issue, it's crucial to understand what drives the use of antimicrobials (AMs) in these farms. A recent study delved into this by examining 21 dairy herds across Wales. The study collected a ma
Imagine trying to guess how busy a city street will be in an hour. It's not just about looking at past traffic data. You also need to think about things like the weather and what's happening nearby. Most methods out there only look at past traffic data for short periods. But what if we could use mor
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a sneaky condition that doesn't just cause joint pain. It also puts people at a higher risk of breaking bones. This was discovered by a big study that looked at data from 29 different groups of people from all over the world. The study found that both men and women with
Electric substations are the backbone of our power systems. They face many dangers like heat, noise, and even animal waste. These dangers can cause problems like cable failures, circuit breaker issues, and melted conductors. When these issues happen, the substation's reliability drops, and power los
Imagine trying to figure out what makes people stick to exercise routines. A recent study took a deep dive into this question. It used a massive dataset of over 11, 000 entries from a national health survey. The goal? To build models that could predict who would follow physical activity guidelines a
Endurance races push horses to their limits. To understand how these animals cope, scientists looked at how their bodies change during an 80 km race. They focused on proteins in the horses' blood, which can show what's happening inside the body. The scientists took blood samples from 13 horses befo
