Abstract: A method and apparatus for dynamically implementing an application function is provided, wherein the method includes sending status information to a network device; obtaining a layout information function configuration file fed back from the network device; and creating a window body and a program control based on the layout information function configuration file and establishing a link between the program control and the application function. By creating, through a layout information function configuration file, a display window and a program control in a terminal device, the present invention creates a link between the program control and the application function, so as to achieve fast development, adaptation, and release of the application; besides, personalized adaptation for a specific resolution, launching of a new function, and problem fixing may be implemented without releasing a new-version application.

Abstract: An objective of the present application provides a method and apparatus for operating a target application on a corresponding device. Specifically, the first user equipment receives a desktop screenshot sent by the second user equipment, displays the desktop screenshot; in response to a corresponding user's select operation on the application identification information in the desktop screenshot, converts coordinates of the application identification information on the first user equipment's screen to coordinates of the application identification information on the second user equipment's screen; sends coordinates of the application identification information on the second user equipment's screen to the second user equipment; receives an application screenshot of the started target application sent from the second user equipment; and displays the application screenshot.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for providing information and a method and apparatus for providing a search result. The method for providing information comprises: acquiring a current hotspot event, and determining a first keyword corresponding to the current hotspot event; determining a second keyword matched with the first keyword in a pre-built first database, and determining an information provider suitable for hotspot correlation according to the second keyword, the first database comprising the information provider and the second keyword corresponding to the information provider; and generating hotspot information materials of the information provider suitable for hotspot correlation according to the first keyword, and making the hotspot information materials online so as to be provided for a user.

Abstract: Methods of identifying a single nucleotide polymorphism associated with a plant trait and methods of identifying a plant having an improved trait. The plant trait is correlated with at least one single nucleotide polymorphism in a microRNA region of a plant genome. Isolated nucleic acids, transgenic plants, and methods of producing the same are also disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for building a speech feature library, as well as a method, an apparatus, a device and corresponding non-volatile, non-transitory computer readable storage media for speech synthesis. Because the speech feature library used in the present invention saves at least one context corresponding to each piece of personalized textual information and at least one piece of textual information semantically identical to the personalized textual information, when performing speech synthesis, even if the provided textual information is not personalized textual information corresponding to the desired personalized speech, personalized textual information semantically identical to the textual information to be subject to speech synthesis may be first found in the speech feature library to thereby achieve personalized speech synthesis, such that use of the personalized speech will not be restricted by aging, sickness, and death of a person.

Abstract: Methods for introgressing an allele of interest of a locus associated with a yield trait into Zea mays germplasm are provided. In some embodiments, the methods include providing a Zea mays plant that contains an allele of interest of a locus associated with a yield trait, wherein the locus associated with the yield trait is identifiable by PCR amplification of a Zea mays nucleic acid with a pair of oligonucleotides primers as disclosed herein, and introgressing the allele of interest into Zea mays germplasm that lacks the allele. Also provided are methods for identifying Zea mays plants that contain at least one allele associated with improved yield, improved maize plants, elite Zea mays plants, biomass produced from improved Zea mays plants, isolated and purified genetic markers, and compositions that include an amplification primer pair capable of amplifying a Zea mays nucleic acid to generate a Zea mays marker amplicon.
