Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for extracting lithium using a resin adsorbent to pretreat low-grade deep brine, which relates to the technical field of lithium extraction from brine. In the present disclosure, resin adsorbent is used to perform adsorption pretreatment on the concentrated brine, which can adsorb organic impurities in the concentrated brine without adsorbing lithium ions, so that the concentration of lithium ions is almost unchanged compared with the feed material, with the subsequent manganese-based lithium adsorbent, the adsorption rate of lithium can be increased by 41%; At the same time, pretreating the concentrated brine using resin adsorbents has shorter steps, less materials, and does not produce a large amount of low-value product gypsum, which makes the lithium extraction process simpler and easier to operate, and reduces production costs.

Abstract: Various methods, apparatuses/systems, and media for automatic real-time identification of dissatisfaction data are disclosed. A receiver receives real-time stream of call transcript data generated during a call or a chat between a customer and an agent. A processor implements a machine learning model that includes predefined complaint data; applies the received call transcript data onto the machine learning model; compares, in response to applying, the call transcript data with predefined complaint data; generates a first similarity score, based on comparing, that identifies how similar the call transcript data is compared to the predefined complaint data; and automatically identifies the call transcript data as a first dissatisfaction data based on determining that the first similarity score is equal to or more than a predetermined threshold value.

Abstract: A digital integrated molding method for dental attachments includes 3D design, aiming at acquiring 3D data of an attachment itself through 3D scanning of an attachment preform, carrying out modeling design directly on the basis of acquired data, adjusting corresponding positions of an inner-crown and an attachment, or a bridge and an attachment by design software, and directly designing the attachments of the inner-crown and the bridge into a whole; data processing, aiming at slicing the integrated inner-crown and attachment or bridge and attachment for additive manufacturing; and additive manufacturing, aiming at processing an integrated inner-crown, bridge or attachment. The molding method can greatly improve the molding accuracy of dental attachments, and ensure the relative accuracy of inner-crowns, bridges or attachments.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are a duck hepatitis A virus type 3 (DHAV-3) mutant CH-P60-117C and a construction method thereof. The DHAV-3 mutant CH-P60-117C is constructed by mutating A at position 117 of 5?-UTR of the genome of the DHAV-3 virulent strain to C; mutating T at position 1142 to A to mutate tyrosine-164 of VP0 protein of the parent strain to asparagine; and mutating C at position 4334 to A so that leucine-71 of the viral protein 2C of the parent strain is mutated to isoleucine.

Abstract: A method for forming precise porous metal structure by selective laser melting, including 3D design, data processing, parameter setting and selective sintering, including the following steps: A. designing 3D model of precise and porous structure; B. adding support structure and slicing; C. setting parameters of laser scanning and beam offset; and D. arranging a soft recoater in the forming system. After coating the metal powder on the forming plate, the fiber laser emits a laser to melt the metal powder to form a single-layer cross section of the porous structure; E. lowering the forming plate by one layer, and repeating steps D-E, so that the metal powder is melted and accumulated layer by layer until the formed components of porous structure are obtained.
