摘要:
Non-invasive methods for monitoring the effect of an agent for treating colorectal cancer, comprising (1) collecting fecal samples from healthy subjects, subjects having precancerous lesions, and subject having precancerous lesions and being treated with an anti-cancer agent; (2) isolating total microbial genomic DNA from the fecal samples to provide total microbial genomic DNA; (3) comparing the total microbial genomic DNA using fingerprint spectrum analysis; (4) identifying key fingerprint bands correlated with the effect of the anti-cancer agent; (5) identifying key microorganisms associated with the key fingerprint bands; (6) designing microbial sequence-specific primers and probes; and (7) determining the quantitative differences of the key microorganisms in fecal samples to identify an indicator microorganism for monitoring the effect of the anti-cancer agent.
摘要:
A fume hood system having a decommissioned mode. A fume hood may be required to maintain a minimum flow from its enclosure holding fume type substances via an exhaust external to the hood. However, if the fume hood is considered not in use or not containing fume type substances, it may be put into a decommissioned mode not necessarily having a flow requirement. This mode may be entered by pressing a sequence of buttons on a monitor, operating a switch, receiving a signal from a building management system, or the like, provided that certain criteria for non-use are met by the fume hood. The decommissioned mode may also be entered or exited automatically. Status of the fume hood, as to in-use or decommissioned, may be reported to a building management system for monitoring, reporting, and/or command purposes.

Disclosed are apparatus and methods for providing machine-learning services. A context-identification system executing on a mobile platform can receive data comprising context-related data associated with the mobile platform and application-related data received from the mobile platform. The context-identification system can identify a context using the context-related data associated with the mobile platform and/or the application-related data received from the mobile platform. Based on at least one context identified, context-identification system can predict a communicative action associated with the mobile platform by performing a machine-learning operation on the received data. An instruction can be received to execute the communicative action associated with the mobile platform.

Disclosed are apparatus and methods for providing machine-learning services. A machine-learning service executing on a mobile platform can receive data related to a plurality of features. In some cases, the received data can include data related to features received from an application and data related to features received from the mobile platform. The machine-learning service can determine at least one feature based on the received data. The machine-learning service can generate an output by performing a machine-learning operation on the at least one feature. The machine-learning operation can be selected from among an operation of ranking the at least one feature, an operation of classifying the at least one feature, an operation of predicting the at least one feature, and an operation of clustering the at least one feature. The machine-learning service can send the output.
摘要:
The use of a lignin monomer synthetic gene 4-CL encoding 4-coumarate: CoA ligase from Populus tomentosa in increasing Sclerotinia resistance and lodging resistance. The 4-CL gene is responsible for catalyzing various cinnamic acids and their derivatives to produce respective coenzyme A esters, involved in the synthesis of various downstream secondary products, and is the key gene in the regulation of lignin synthesis. Results of the study show that, increase of lignin content improves plant's resistance against pathogenic infection, enhances the stem strength of rape, and thus significantly improves the lodging resistance. Specifically, the result shows that lignin content of transgenic rape increases more than 10% compared to lignin content of recipient control; lesion extension area of transgenic plant leaves decreases around 30% compared to recipient control; and stem strength of transgenic plant increases up to around 20% compared to control.
摘要:
A system and method for servoing on a moving target within a dynamic scene. According to one embodiment, the system includes a master variable pointing camera system and a plurality of slave variable pointing camera systems positioned around the scene. The system also includes a master control unit in communication with the master variable pointing camera system. The master control unit is for determining, based on parameters of the master variable pointing camera system, parameters for each of the slave variable pointing camera systems such that, at a point in time, the master variable pointing camera system and the slave variable pointing camera systems are aimed at the target and a size of the target in an image from each of the master variable pointing camera system and the slave variable pointing camera systems is substantially the same. The system also includes a plurality of slave camera control units in communication with the master control unit. The slave camera control units are for controlling at least one of the slave variable pointing camera systems based on the parameters for each of the slave variable pointing camera systems. The system may also include a video image sequence generator in communication with the master control unit and the slave camera control units. The video image sequence generator may generate a video image sequence of the target by outputting an image from certain of the master variable pointing camera system and the slave variable pointing camera systems in sequence according to the position of the master variable pointing camera system and the slave variable pointing camera systems around the scene.
