In a bid to identify which companies are more likely to succeed, researchers have developed machine-learning models trained on the historical performance of over 1 million companies. Their results, published in KeAi’s The Journal of Finance and Data Science, show that these models can predict the outcome of a company with up to 90% accuracy. This means that potentially 9 out of 10 companies are correctly assessed.

CO2ER, the electrocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2), offers an ideal route for mitigating the greenhouse effect and achieving green CO2 cycling. In recent years, most studies on CO2ER have focused on the intrinsic performance of the catalysts. While bicarbonate - an electrolyte or negatively-charged ion that is used by the body to help maintain its pH balance - is commonly used in CO2ER, a group of researchers from China set out to explore its role and behaviour in more detail.

Improving early detection of COVID-19, along with predictions around which patients are likely to develop severe symptoms, is a high priority. In this study published in Urine, researchers from the China and the US used urine proteomic profiling to distinguish a healthy control group from COVID-19 patients. In addition, they were able to identify specific proteome features in the urine of patients that indicated whether they had mild or severe COVID-19.

In a study published in the KeAi journal Data Science and Management, a group of researchers from China set out to assess the ability and applicability of using social media data to predict the development of COVID-19. Drawing on the existing Google Flu Trends (GFT) algorithm, they created a new, confirmed case prediction algorithm called Weibo COVID-19 Trends (WCT).

The ability to reliably and accurately detect levels of iodide ion and curcumin is crucial in the fields of food and life sciences. Bioactive Materials, researchers from China and the US developed nitrogen-doped fluorescent carbon dots (NCDs) as a multi-mechanism detection tool for iodide ion and curcumin in complex biological and food samples.

In a review published in the KeAi journal Sports Medicine and Health Science, a team of researchers from Austria and Switzerland examined recent study findings on the epidemiology and pathophysiology of high-altitude illnesses, along with options for prevention and treatment. These sicknesses include acute mountain sickness (AMS), high-altitude cerebral edema (HACE) and high-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE).

The study, which was published in the KeAi journal China Economic Quarterly International, found that, on average, a 10-unit increase in the API or air pollution index (a quantitative measure that describes ambient air quality) leads to a 4% reduction in the monthly piece-rate wages of inmates.

The major goal of cancer therapy is to destroy cancer cells while sparing the surrounding, healthy tissue. The term ‘tumour microenvironment’ (TME) describes the area around a tumour, which typically consists of blood vessels and immune cells etc. As the TME can impact tumour progression and metastasis, finding a way to control it is high on the wishlist of researchers. For many, nanoparticles – particles of matter that generally vary between 1 and 100 nanometres in size – offer a promising solution.
