R3A Robot: Low-Cost Stair-Climbing Robot for Accessibility in Underserved Regions
In underserved regions, many elderly individuals and people with physical impairments face significant
mobility challenges, particularly when it comes to navigating staircases. To address this, we propose the development of a low-cost, reliable, and efficient stair-climbing robot capable of transporting goods and providing mobility assistance. This solution aims to improve quality of life by enabling safer and more convenient navigation in environments where elevators or ramps are unavailable. The robot will prioritize affordability, ease of use, and adaptability to various staircase types commonly found in rural and urban settings.

PureDae: A New Approach To Air Filtration Systems
Clean and breathable air is a fundamental human right, yet a substantial number of people across the globe face the consequences of imperceptible airborne pollution. Gas pollutants such as methane (CH4), ammonia (NH3), carbon dioxide (CO2), and VOCs are particularly harmful pollutants with grave health repercussions.
At PureDae, we are deeply committed to addressing this air quality crisis. Our vision revolves around the pursuit of clean air for all. We develop air filtration solutions that specifically target CH4, NH3, CO2, and VOCs caused by livestock emissions, effectively removing these pollutants from the air we breathe.
PureDae is committed to providing clean and safe air for everyone and fostering community awareness and engagement. We believe in a healthier, more sustainable world, where the air we breathe is free from harmful pollutants, and our efforts extend beyond protection to the restoration of vital air-related ecosystems.

KElight: A New Era in Eco- Friendly Lighting Solutions
Our Story begins with a challenge: traditional street lighting's heavy reliance on non-renewable energy sources, leading to not only environmental strain but also steep financial costs from maintenance. We recognized that even solar-powered LEDs, while more efficient, still grapple with issues like frequent battery replacements and their own environmental footprint.
Enter KElight, our innovative response to these challenges. We reimagined street lighting by harnessing the untapped potential of kinetic energy through the principles of permanent magnetism. This breakthrough eliminates the constant need for solar panel replacements, revolutionizing the sustainability of streetlights.

Impact of IAD on Teenagers Emotion Regulation and Anxiety
The probability of adolescents becoming addicted to the Internet has increased as a result of the increasing number of adolescents using the Internet and media. Internet addiction disorder (IAD) cannot be ignored for the mental health of adolescents. This study examines the harm of IAD on adolescents in terms of mental health from two perspectives: the impact of IAD on adolescents emotion regulation and the cause of adolescents anxiety disorders.

Utilization of Intestinal Probiotics to Improve the Degradation and Absorption of Food and Drug Homologous Flavonoids
Under the condition that the slow degradation rate of flavone in food in the gastrointestinal tract of the human body has long been a problem for researchers, we constructed and justified a protein to improve the degradation and absorption rate of flavone. The paper, through methods including polymerase chain reaction and gel electrophoresis, explores the possible solution for increasing degradation rate with a FLR gene.

Bacteriostasis of bacillus sp. 22T against penicillium expansum and comparison between its ability on pear and grape
In the biological lab of Zhejiang University, we justified and tested a type of bacillus to improve the anti-bacteria ability of commonly affecting diseases of fruits, such as pear and grape, which would lead to a large amount of economic loss and unpredictable negative influence if they were rotten before being sold.

Apolipoprotein A-1 in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction
With the gradual rejuvenation and rising popularity of acute myocardial infarction, more and more researchers have begun to investigate novel treatments for this disease. The treatment plan for continuing to increase high-density cholesterol based on apolipoprotein A-1 is gradually recognized by more and more people because of its theoretical and clinical practicability. However, there are relatively fewer experiments demonstrating the viability of apolipoprotein A-1 in clinical treatment compared to aspirin or other mature technologies. This review will state the important clinical trials of apolipoprotein A-1 in treating acute myocardial infarction in recent decades, summarize its clinical information, and analyze its proof of the feasibility for apolipoprotein therapy.

Reduce the harm of acid rain to plants by producing nitrogen fertilizer through neutralization
The phenomenon of dying trees and plants in areas affected by acid rain has become increasingly problematic in recent times. Is there any method to efficiently utilize the rainwater and reduce the harmfulne of acid rain or make it beneficial to plants? This study aimed to investigate the potential of neutralizing acid rainwater infiltrating the soil to increase soil pH, produce beneficial salts for plants, and support better plant growth.

The research of the water purification mechanism based on the symbiotic relationship between Aeromonas hydrophila and Epipremnum aureum
Water pollution in natural environments has become a major global problem in the last decades. Therefore, finding a balance in the water-related ecosystem regarding how it can repair itself without human industrial interference is crucial. This study not only used comparative experiments to investigate water purification by Aeromonas hydrophila and Epipremnum aureum individually but also to dive deep into their symbiotic relationship along with how this relationship benefits water conditions.

APOA2: New Target for Molecular Hydrogen Therapy in Sepsis-Related Lung Injury Based on Proteomic and Genomic Analysis
Target biomarkers for H2 at both the protein and genome levels are still unclear. In this study, quantitative proteomics acquired from a mouse model were first analyzed. At the same time, functional pathway analysis helped identify functional pathways at the protein level. Then, bioinformatics on mRNA sequencing data were conducted between sepsis and normal mouse models.
