Wastewater treatment plants are under scrutiny for their role in releasing nitrous oxide, a potent greenhouse gas. With the rise of digital tech, scientists are turning to machine learning to predict and manage these emissions. This approach leverages vast amounts of data from various sources to mak
Wearable tech might just be the game-changer we need for tracking medication adherence. You know how it is—people often forget to take their meds, and doctors usually have to rely on patients' own reports, which aren't always accurate. But what if there was a better way? Enter wearable devices. The
Boko Haram's attacks on schools in Nigeria have been a grim reality for many years. These attacks often result in the abduction of students, with boys frequently forced into military roles and girls subjected to servitude or worse. To better understand and potentially predict these attacks, a detail
The ER is a busy place, especially when it comes to kids with fevers. Doctors often face a challenge: predicting which children might need to be admitted to the hospital, sent to the ICU, or stay longer than expected. This is where electronic health records (EHRs) come in. They hold a wealth of info
Living in a long-term care (LTC) home means heavy reliance on others for daily tasks due to physical and mental challenges. What's tricky is that medical treatment isn't always what residents want. It can make them uncomfortable with little benefit. This is where predictive models can help LTC provi
From 2016 to 2021, scientists studied Chile's air quality by using data from the National Air Quality Information System (SINCA). They focused on three cities: Quintero, Puchuncaví, and Coyhaique. The goal? To create models that can predict pollution levels like sulfur dioxide (SO2), tiny particles
Falling from heights is a serious health issue that often leads to multiple injuries. It's one of the top causes of severe trauma. Doctors find it tough to figure out how severe these injuries are when patients first arrive. Knowing how often these injuries happen and what makes them worse can help
Imagine trying to predict how much electricity we'll need tomorrow. It's like planning a picnic without knowing if it'll be sunny or rainy. That's where weather comes in. This research dug deep into how temperature, humidity, and wind affect our electricity demand. They used a fancy model called Enh
Ever wondered how a law starts in one state and then spreads across the entire country? In the U. S. , many national policies begin as state laws. But why do some state laws become national while others don't? Researchers have looked at where a law starts, what type it is, and even the wealth or pol
