This study compares traditional and discovery-based instructional methods in online middle school mathematics education. Findings show that discovery-based learning significantly improves students’ academic performance and attitudes, highlighting the value of inquiry-driven instruction for enhancing both understanding and motivation.

Classical financial forecasting models often fail to capture the complex, nonlinear dynamics of the stock market. This study demonstrates that incorporating a single variable to represent the 'geometric curvature' of a time series dramatically improves the accuracy of standard econometric forecasts. Our findings highlight that geometric properties are a significant predictive factor, opening new avenues for more powerful financial modeling.

The relationship between meteorological factors and air quality in Washington D.C. metropolitan area
The authors studied the relationship between air quality and weather conditions (wind speed, precipitation, and temperature) in the Washington D.C. area.

Autonomous drone imaging combined with machine learning offers a promising approach for early detection of invasive species. In this study, students built an autonomous drone and compared three models: CNN, SGDC, and XGBoost, to identify Brassica nigra from aerial footage. Their results show that CNNs most effectively recognize key visual features, demonstrating strong potential for supporting conservation and invasive plant management.

Online review platforms often provide different reviews on the same product, potentially confusing consumers. In this study, we found that the number of raters on Amazon is lower for the same book, while ratings on Amazon were higher than those on Goodreads. Furthermore, these differences in ratings and rater counts were larger for fiction books than for non‑fiction books.

This study investigated perceptions of the emerging workforce toward the use of artificial intelligence in hiring, specifically for assessing subjective "culture fit." Through a mixed-methods survey of 150 high school and early-college students in Nepal, we found a significant disconnect between organizational adoption of AI and the profound skepticism of young job candidates, who express deep concerns about fairness, transparency, and the potential for AI to perpetuate systemic discrimination.
