    Abstract Momentum transfer from the water surface is strongly related to the dynamical scale and morphology of jumping animals. Here, we investigate the scale-dependent momentum transfer of various jumping organisms and engineered systems at an air-water interface. A simplified analytical model for calculating the maximum momentum transfer identifies an intermediate dynamical scale region highly disadvantageous for jumping on water. The Weber number of the systems should be designed far from 1 to achieve high jumping performance on water. We design a relatively large water-jumping robot in the drag-dominant scale range, having a high Weber number, for maximum jumping height and distance. The jumping robot, around 10 times larger than water striders, has a take-off speed of 3.6 m/s facilitated by drag-based propulsion, which is the highest value reported thus far. The scale-dependent hydrodynamics of water jumpers provides a useful framework for understanding nature and robotic system interacting with the water surface.

    Abstract Graphislactone A (GPA), a secondary metabolite derived from a mycobiont found in the lichens of the genus Graphis, exhibits antioxidant properties. However, the potential biological functions and therapeutic applications of GPA at the cellular and animal levels have not yet been investigated. In the present study, we explored the therapeutic potential of GPA in mitigating non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and its underlying mechanisms through a series of experiments using various cell lines and animal models. GPA demonstrated antioxidant capacity on a par with that of vitamin C in cultured hepatocytes and reduced the inflammatory response induced by lipopolysaccharide in primary macrophages. However, in animal studies using an NAFLD mouse model, GPA had a milder impact on liver inflammation while markedly attenuating hepatic steatosis. This effect was confirmed in an animal model of early fatty liver disease without inflammation. Mechanistically, GPA inhibited lipogenesis rather than fat oxidation in cultured hepatocytes. Similarly, RNA sequencing data revealed intriguing associations between GPA and the adipogenic pathways during adipocyte differentiation. GPA effectively reduced lipid accumulation and suppressed lipogenic gene expression in AML12 hepatocytes and 3T3-L1 adipocytes. In summary, our study demonstrates the potential application of GPA to protect against hepatic steatosis in vivo and suggests a novel role for GPA as an underlying mechanism in lipogenesis, paving the way for future exploration of its therapeutic potential.

    Abstract Patent classification is an essential task in patent information management and patent knowledge mining. It is very important to classify patents related to artificial intelligence, which is the biggest topic these days. However, artificial intelligence-related patents are very difficult to classify because it is a mixture of complex technologies and legal terms. Moreover, due to the unsatisfactory performance of current algorithms, it is still mostly done manually, wasting a lot of time and money. Therefore, we present a method for classifying artificial intelligence-related patents published by the USPTO using natural language processing technique and deep learning methodology. We use deformed BERT and sentence attention overcome the limitations of BERT. Our experiment result is highest performance compared to other deep learning methods.

    Abstract A 51-year-old male patient had four times of massive hematochezia episode three days before arrival. Carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9 level was extremely elevated. Computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and positron emission tomography-computed tomography identified 5.7 cm sized periampullary duodenal cancer with regional metastatic lymph nodes and vascular invasion to aberrant right hepatic artery, main portal vein, and superior mesenteric vein. Diagnosed as duodenal adenocarcinoma through endoscopic biopsy, 16 times of FOLFIRI (5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, irinotecan) was conducted. The regimen changed to XELOX (capecitabine, oxaliplatine), four times of administration was done, and the CA19-9 level dramatically decreased. The tumor decreased to 2.1 cm. After R0 laparoscopic pylorus preserving pancreatoduodenectomy, no adjuvant therapy was given. No sign of recurrence or metastasis was reported, and the patient reached complete remission after five years. We reported a case where neoadjuvant chemotherapy for locally advanced duodenal adenocarcinoma was shown to be effective.

    Abstract With the growing impact of ESG on businesses, research related to renewable energy is receiving great attention. Solar cells are one of them, and accordingly, it can be said that the research value of solar cell patent analysis is very high. Patent documents have high research value. Being able to accurately analyze and classify patent documents can reveal several important technical relationships. It can also describe the business trends in that technology. And when it comes to investment, new industrial solutions will also be inspired and proposed to make important decisions. Therefore, we must carefully analyze patent documents and utilize the value of patents. To solve the solar cell patent classification problem, we propose a keyword extraction method and a deep neural network-based solar cell patent classification method. First, solar cell patents are analyzed for pretreatment. It then uses the KeyBERT algorithm to extract keywords and key phrases from the patent abstract to construct a lexical dictionary. We then build a solar cell patent classification model according to the deep neural network. Finally, we use a deep neural network-based solar cell patent classification model to classify power patents, and the training accuracy is greater than 95%. Also, the validation accuracy is about 87.5%. It can be seen that the deep neural network method can not only realize the classification of complex and difficult solar cell patents, but also have a good classification effect.

    Abstract The agile and power-efficient locomotion of a water strider has inspired many water-walking devices. These bioinspired water strider robots generally adopt a DC motor to create a sculling trajectory of the driving leg. These robots are, thus, inevitably heavy with many supporting legs decreasing the velocity of the robots. There have only been a few attempts to employ smart materials despite their advantages of being lightweight and having high power densities. This paper proposes an artificial muscle-based water-walking robot capable of moving forward and turning with four degrees of freedom. A compliant amplified shape memory alloy actuator (CASA) used to amplify the strain of a shape memory alloy wire enables a wide sculling motion of the actuation leg with only four supporting legs to support the entire weight of the robot. Design parameters to increase the actuation strain of the actuator and to achieve a desired swing angle (80°) are analyzed. Finally, experiments to measure the forward speed and angular velocities of the robot are carried out to compare with other robots. The robot weighs only 0.236 g and has a maximum and average speed of 1.56, 0.31 body length per second and a maximum and average angular velocity of 145.05°/s and 14.72°/s.

    Abstract Hydrogels have diverse chemical properties and can exhibit reversibly large mechanical deformations in response to external stimuli; these characteristics suggest that hydrogels are promising materials for soft robots. However, reported actuators based on hydrogels generally suffer from slow response speed and/or poor controllability due to intrinsic material limitations and electrode fabrication technologies. Here, we report a hydrogel actuator that operates at low voltages (<3 volts) with high performance (strain > 50%, energy density > 7 × 10

    Abstract There are about ninety full-scale anaerobic digestion (AD) plants in South Korea that treat food waste (FW); however, the key diff ;erences in the microbial communities in different seasons and the effects of ammonia in AD remain poorly understood. In this study, the seasonal changes in microbial communities associated with operational parameters of two full-scale ADs (C and W plants) treating FW were analyzed. The organic loading rate (OLR) variability had an influence on the seasonal CH₄ yield; the W plant had a lower CH₄ yield with an unstable AD performance while the C plant had a higher CH₄ yield with a stable AD performance. It was mainly due to the substantially different NH₄⁺ concentration; the W plant had a NH₄⁺ concentration nearly 1.6 times higher compared to the C plant. The high NH₄⁺ presence in the W plant led to the dominance of class Clostridia, and methanogenesis was mostly done by hydrogenotrophs (Methanomassiliicoccus luminyensis). Additionally, the members belonging to Clostridia and Bacteroidia were found at both plants in each season (share ≥0.5%) implying their indispensable role during the anaerobic digestion of FW.

    Abstract As the safety of a human body is the main priority while interacting with robots, the field of tactile sensors has expanded for acquiring tactile information and ensuring safe human-robot interaction (HRI). Existing lightweight and thin tactile sensors exhibit high performance in detecting their surroundings. However, unexpected collisions caused by malfunctions or sudden external collisions can still cause injuries to rigid robots with thin tactile sensors. In this study, we present a sensitive balloon sensor for contact sensing and alleviating physical collisions over a large area of rigid robots. The balloon sensor is a pressure sensor composed of an inflatable body of low-density polyethylene (LDPE), and a highly sensitive and flexible strain sensor laminated onto it. The mechanical crack-based strain sensor with high sensitivity enables the detection of extremely small changes in the strain of the balloon. Adjusting the geometric parameters of the balloon allows for a large and easily customizable sensing area. The weight of the balloon sensor was approximately 2 g. The sensor is employed with a servo motor and detects a finger or a sheet of rolled paper gently touching it, without being damaged.
