Abstract	This study aims to investigate the feasibility of using an Artificial Lateral Line system for predicting the real-time position and pose of an undulating swimmer with Carangiform swimming patterns. We established a 3D Computational Fluid Dynamics simulation to replicate the swimming dynamics of a freely swimming mackerel under various motion parameters, calculating the corresponding pressure fields. Using the simulated lateral line data, we trained an artificial neural network to predict the centroid coordinates and orientation of the swimmer. A comprehensive analysis was further conducted to explore the impact of sensor quantity, distribution, noise amplitude and sampling intervals of the Artificial Lateral Line array on predicting performance. Additionally, to quantitatively assess the reliability of the localization network, we trained another neural network to evaluate error magnitudes for different input signals. These findings provide valuable insights for guiding future research on mutual sensing and schooling in underwater robotic fish.

Abstract	Some weakly electric fish can use electric signals to interact and communicate with each other in dark and complex underwater environments where traditional underwater communication fails. In our previous work, we developed a bio-inspired electrocommunication system (BECS) that serves as an effective alternative to traditional methods in this challenging underwater scenario performing communication at a speed of approximately 1200 bps (bits per second) within approximately 3 m. In this study, a novel underwater wireless communication system (BECS-II) is proposed to upgrade the BECS with much better performance. We first propose theoretical and simulation models for electrocommunication, including the effects of the angular frequency and electrode impedance. A custom-made digital communication system is employed in BECS-II to improve the anti-interference ability and channel capacity of the BECS. In addition, a novel circuit optimization strategy was used to develop a customized circuit to enhance the transmitting and receiving capabilities of the BECS-II. Dual-frequency communication is proposed to meet the communication demands of different tasks by taking inspiration from the task allocation and evolution mechanisms of weakly electric fish. The experimental results showed that BECS-II outperformed BECS in high-frequency mode at both the communication speed (approximately 20 kbps) and distance (approximately 10 m), whereas in low-frequency mode, it extended the communication range by transmitting data up to a distance of approximately 20 m at a speed of approximately 200 bps. A substantial increase in the communication distance can expand the robot motion space in a group and improve group flexibility.

Abstract	In this article, the pose regulation control problem of a robotic fish is investigated by formulating it as a Markov decision process (MDP). Such a typical task that requires the robot to arrive at the desired position with the desired orientation remains a challenge, since two objectives (position and orientation) may be conflicted during optimization. To handle the challenge, we adopt the sparse reward scheme, i.e., the robot will be rewarded if and only if it completes the pose regulation task. Although deep reinforcement learning (DRL) can achieve such an MDP with sparse rewards, the absence of immediate reward hinders the robot from efficient learning. To this end, we propose a novel imitation learning (IL) method that learns DRL-based policies from demonstrations with inverse reward shaping to overcome the challenge raised by extremely sparse rewards. Moreover, we design a demonstrator to generate various trajectory demonstrations based on one simple example from a nonexpert helper, which greatly reduces the time consumption of collecting robot samples. The simulation results evaluate the effectiveness of our proposed demonstrator and the state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance of our proposed IL method. Furthermore, we deploy the trained IL policy on a physical robotic fish to perform pose regulation in a swimming tank without/with external disturbances. The experimental results verify the effectiveness and robustness of our proposed methods in real world. Therefore, we believe this article is a step forward in the field of biomimetic underwater robot learning.

Abstract	Background and aims: Excessive use of cell phones can take up college students' time and energy, and the sleep quality will inevitably be affected. A high level of psychological resilience can help them to maintain a positive attitude and cope with stressful events. However, few studies were conducted to investigate the effects of psychological resilience buffering cell phone addiction on sleep quality. In our hypothesis, psychological toughness would mitigate the worsening impact of cell phone addiction on sleep quality. Methods: The sample consisted of 7,234 Chinese college students who completed an electronic questionnaire that included demographic characteristics, such as the Mobile Phone Addiction Index (MPAI), the Psychological Resilience Index (CD-RISC), and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). SPSS 26.0 was used for data analysis, the measurement data were described by Results: The mean scores of cell phone addiction and psychological resilience were 45.00 ( Conclusion: Cell phone addiction has an impact on sleep quality both directly and indirectly through the mediating effect of psychological resilience. Increased psychological resilience has the potential effect to buffer the exacerbating of cell phone addiction on sleep quality. These findings provide an evidence for cell phone addiction prevention, psychological management, and sleep improvement in China.

Abstract	Objective: To evaluate the role of POGLUT2 in pan-cancer through bioinformatics analysis and experimental verification. Methods: Expression, gene mutation and amplification, methylation, and copy number alteration (CNA) of POGLUT2 were evaluated using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia (CCLE), and Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) databases. Moreover, POGLUT2 on survival and disease progression in pan-cancer was performed using TCGA data. Immune infiltration and tumor microenvironment evaluations were assessed by ImmuneScore, ImmuCellAI, and TIMER databases. POGLUT2 correlated drug resistance analysis was performed using the GDSC2 database. Furthermore, POGLUT2 knockdown of breast cancer cells was established, followed by Results: Increased levels of POGLUT2 were found in multiple types of cancer tissues and cell lines. Moreover, increased gene mutation and amplification, methylation, and CNA of POGLUT2 were found in several types of cancers. POGLUT2 was mainly expressed in stromal cells as verified by StromalScore, ESTIMATEScore, ImmuneScore, and Tumor purity, and POGLUT2 was positively correlated with cancer-associated fibroblasts, macrophages, monocytes, and neutrophils in the tumor microenvironment. Conclusions: Increased levels of POGLUT2 could result in the dysregulated immune cell infiltration and tumor microenvironment and showed a significant regulatory effect on the progression of breast cancer through Notch-related signaling.

Abstract	Recently, reputation-based indirect reciprocity has been widely applied to the study on fairness behavior. Previous works mainly investigate indirect reciprocity by considering compulsory participation. While in reality, individuals may choose voluntary participation according to the opponent's reputation. It is still unclear how such reputation-based voluntary participation influences the evolution of fairness. To address this question, we introduce indirect reciprocity with voluntary participation into the dictator game (DG). We respectively consider good dictators or recipients can voluntarily participate in games when the opponents are assessed as bad. We theoretically calculate the fairness level under all social norms of third-order information. Our findings reveal that several social norms induce the high fairness level in both scenarios. However, more social norms lead to a high fairness level for voluntary participation of recipients, compared with the one of good dictators. The results also hold when the probability of voluntary participation is not low. Our results demonstrate that recipients' voluntary participation is more effective in promoting the emergence of fairness behavior.

Abstract	Carbonation technology resolves the volume expansion of steel slag by combining CO₂ with f-CaO, but the previous stringent carbonation conditions (99%vol) significantly limit the application prospect of steel slag. To achieve the carbonation of steel slag at lower CO₂ concentrations, a novel cold-bonded artificial aggregates (CASSAs) based on steel slag and biochar is produced in this paper. The carbon capture capacities of CASSAs with different biochar contents (5 wt%, 10 wt%, and 15 wt%) are investigated in a low-CO₂ concentration environment (10.79 % vol) and natural environment using the porosity and CO₂ adsorption capacity of biochar. The changes in the performance of CASSAs before and after carbonation are investigated at different curing ages (7 d and 28 d). The results reveal that biochar increases the pores of the CASSAs. At 7 d, B15 achieves complete carbonation at low concentrations and can uptake 6.5 wt% of CO₂. CO₂ adsorption capacity by biochar in the natural environment facilitates the diffusion of CO₂ in CASSAs. Regarding mechanical properties, the addition of biochar makes B15 at 7 d half as strong as B0, but B15 exhibits long-term strength development. B15 at 7 d has a strength of 8.49 MPa after carbonation, which is almost the same as B0. In addition, B15 achieves a net CO₂ emission of −39.9 kg/ton. This study combines biochar with CASSAs to provide a potential method to carbonate steel slag at low CO₂ concentrations. A new methodology was also used to quantitatively assess the ability of biochar CASSAs to solidify CO₂ under low concentration conditions and natural environments from a macroscopic perspective. Biochar CASSAs have great potential to realize resource utilization and carbon capture from steel slag.

Abstract	Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common selective and progressive neurodegenerative disorder of nigrostriatal dopaminergic (DA) neurons. Quercetin is a bioflavonoid with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-aging and anti-cancer properties. However, the exact mechanism by which quercetin exerts its protective effect on DAergic neurons remains unclear. Purpose: To investigate the underlying molecular mechanism of quercetin's protective effect on DA neurons using 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP+)-induced PD ferroptosis model Methods: MPP+ was used to induce cytotoxicity in SH-SY5Y/primary neurons. Cell viability and apoptosis were assessed by CCK-8 assay and flow cytometry. The expression levels of ferroptosis-related proteins (NCOA4, SLC7A11, Nrf2, and GPX4) were determined by Western blotting. Malondialdehyde (MDA), iron, and GPX4 levels were assesed using corresponding assay kits. Lipid peroxidation was assessed by C11-BODIPY staining. Results: In the MPP+-induced ferroptosis model of SH-SY5Y cells, the expressions of SLC7A11 and GPX4 were inhibited, and the expression of NCOA4 protein was increased, causing the overproduction of MDA and lipid peroxidation. Quercetin can reduce the above changes caused by MPP+, that is, reduce the protein expression of NCOA4 in SH-SY5Y cells, increase SLC7A11 and GPX4 partially inhibited by MPP+, and reduce MDA overproduction and lipid peroxidation to protect DA neurons. Nrf2 inhibitor ML385 could inhibit quercetin-induced increase of GPX4 and SLC7A11 protein expression, indicating that the protective effect of quercetin was mediated through Nrf2. Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that quercetin regulates ferroptosis through Nrf2-dependent signaling pathways, thereby inhibiting MPP+-induced neurotoxicity in SH-SY5Y/primary neurons.
