Using machine learning, research develops models and predicts high -risk gandelers.
Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public domain Federal -approved firearm dealers are important targets for restrictions and execution efforts aimed at reducing the supply of firearms to bypassing illegal markets, but measure the degree of dealers involved in illegal shifting firearms. It is difficult to do. In a new study using machine learning, researchers have examined firearm transactions and criminal gun collection records…

Research team develops more comprehensive method to monitor lobster industry
Credit: CC0 Public Domain Maine’s lobster fishery supports thousands of jobs across the state and is extensively monitored. Management efforts are informed by biological monitoring surveys that observe changes in lobster abundance and distribution, as well as dealer and harvester reports from the industry. But these statistics do not tell the whole story of an industry reeling from supply, market…

Team develops non-invasive biosensor for early detection of kidney disease
Researchers have developed a biosensor that uses affinity peptides to detect symmetrical dimethylarginine (SDMA), an early marker of kidney problems. This sensor measures SDMA levels in urine with high accuracy, making it a practical and cost-effective tool for early diagnosis and monitoring.

Team develops promising new form of antibiotic that causes bacterial cells to self-destruct
Credit: Journal of Medicinal Chemistry (2024). DOI: 10.1021/acs.jmedchem.4c00773 To address the global threat of antibiotic resistance, scientists are exploring new ways to bypass bacterial cell defense systems. Researchers at the University of Toronto (U of T) have used what they learned from previous research on cancer to develop a new compound that causes bacterial cells to self-destruct. The research team’s…
