Abstract: Techniques for generating a natural language question template for an artificial intelligence question and answer (QA) system are disclosed. A graph database query relating to a QA system is parsed using a predefined schema. The parsing includes extracting a first plurality of values from the graph database query relating to a where clause in the graph database query, extracting a second plurality of values from the graph database query relating to a return clause in the graph database query, identifying a QA template rule relating to the graph database query, based on a match clause in the graph database query. A natural language question template is generated based on the first plurality of values, the second plurality of values, and the identified QA template rule. The natural language question template is suitable for use by the QA system as part of generating a response to a natural language question.

Abstract: Provided is a method for preparing a liposomal composition. The method comprises the step of contacting a liposome solution with a mild acidic agent for a limited time. The liposome solution comprises a weak acid salt encapsulated within an aqueous interior space separated from the aqueous medium by a membrane comprised of a lipid mixture containing one or more lipids and a hydrophilic polymer conjugated lipid at a molar percentage of less than 3% based on the total amount of the lipid mixture. The time for encapsulating the agent to a desired amount at a predetermined ratio to lipids is dramatically reduced even under a condition without elevating the temperature to above ambient environment.

Abstract: A biomedical 3D rapid prototyping apparatus includes at least one bio-cartridge, a supply container, a construction platform, an identifying and monitoring device, a disinfection and temperature/humidity regulation device, a casing, and a negative pressure device. The bio-cartridge contains a bio-forming fluid, and has a printhead for ejecting the bio-forming fluid. The supply container stores a bio-building material. The bio-building material is spread in a construction chamber of the construction platform to form a construction layer, and the bio-cartridge is moved to the construction layer to print the bio-forming fluid on the construction layer, so that a cellular tissue is formed. The procedure of spreading the bio-building material and the procedure of printing the bio-forming fluid are repeatedly done, so that a transplantable living tissue or organ is quickly produced.
