    摘要: The present invention is directed to the use of (1) mucin concentration in sputum; (2) individual airway mucins MUC5AC and MUC5B ratio (MUC5AC/MUC5B) in sputum; and (3) combination of both measurements (Kesimer MUCQuant index) that can be used as an objective biomarker for differential diagnosis of smoking status and chronic bronchitis (CB), disease severity of CB (mild, moderate, and severe), exacerbation status, monitoring progression of CB, and guiding of therapies for CB. In addition, the ratio of amount of IgGFc-binding protein (FCGBP) and the amount of bactericidal/permeability-increasing fold-containing family member A1 (BPIFA1 (or SPLUNC1)) present in a sputum sample from a subject may be used in combination with the Kesimer MUCQuant index (Kesimer MUCQuant Plus index) for differential diagnosis of smoking status and CB, disease severity of CB, exacerbation status, p monitoring progression of CB, and guiding of therapies for CB.

    摘要: Disclosed are a motorcade regulation method, a device, an electronic equipment and a storage medium. A diffusion region of pheromones is constructed by taking a first vehicle main body determined from a multi-cooperative task as a center; a second pheromone set of a second vehicle main body meeting with the first vehicle main body is perceived by using the first pheromone set generated outwardly by the first vehicle main body based on the neural autocrine mechanism; when the second vehicle main body satisfies a proximity condition and an affinity of the pheromones of the first and second vehicle main bodies satisfies a regulation condition, the second vehicle main body is selected to be regulated, and upon regulation, a formation is arranged according to the movement parameters of the first and second vehicle main bodies which are then moved towards the cluster position based on the arranged formation.

    摘要: An RNA location prediction method and apparatus, and a storage medium. The method comprises: acquiring sequence feature information and structure feature information of LncRNA to be located (101); performing calculation on the sequence feature information and/or the structure feature information on the basis of an attention mechanism, to obtain an attention value of the sequence feature information and/or the structure feature information (102); and inputting the attention value into a classification prediction model to obtain a location prediction result of the LncRNA to be located (103).

    摘要: A system and method for automated detection of the presence or absence of a quantity based on intensities expressed in terms of, or derived from frequency or time dependent data. According to one example intensities from mass spectrometry are identified using a non-linear mathematical model, such as an artificial neural network trained to find start and stop peaks of an intensity, from which an abundance may be determined.
