Abstract: A digital photo processing method, information processing apparatus, and non-transitory computer-readable medium. New digital photos are arranged in chronological order based on capture times of the new digital photos. A determination is made as to whether a subset of the new digital photos are related to each other based on one or a combination of the capture times of the new digital photos and locations at which the new digital photos were captured. One of a plurality of processing templates is selected based on one or a combination of at least one of the capture times of the subset of the new digital photos and at least one of the locations at which the subset of the new digital photos were captured. The subset of the new digital photos is processed according to the selected one of the plurality of processing templates to generate a single image.

Abstract: A picture processing method and apparatus are described. The method includes: detecting newly-added pictures in a photo album in a computing device; acquiring information about the newly-added pictures, the information including either or both of a photographing time and a photographing place; updating a to-be-processed picture set according to the information about the newly-added pictures; selecting a picture processing template matching the to-be-processed picture set; and processing pictures in the to-be-processed picture set by using the picture processing template. The method can automatically process a newly-added picture, thereby reducing time costs of a user for picture processing.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses an image processing method and apparatus. The image processing method comprises: obtaining a two-dimensional image; determining a target area on the two-dimensional image, wherein the two-dimensional image includes a background area and a target area, and the background area is an area outside of the target area; detecting a location of the target area on the two-dimensional image; selecting, according to the location of the target area on the two-dimensional image, a default processing manner used to perform blurring processing on pixels of the background area; and performing the blurring processing on the pixels of the background area according to the default processing manner. The present disclosure solves a problem that in the prior art, the blurring processing manner cannot be adjusted accordingly depending on different target areas on the an image. Therefore, for different target areas, corresponding blurring processing manners thereof are adopted.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods of inducing differentiation of a mammalian myoblast into a mammalian myocyte that include contacting a mammalian myoblast with an oligonucleotide that decreases Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase kinase 4 (Map4k4) mRNA expression in a mammalian myoblast or myocyte. Also provided are methods of inducing mammalian myoblasts or myocytes to form a myotube that include contacting two or more mammalian myoblasts or two or more mammalian myocytes with an oligonucleotide that decreases Map4k4 mRNA expression in a mammalian myoblast or myocyte. Also provided are methods of identifying a candidate agent useful for inducing muscle formation, and compositions containing an oligonucleotide that decreases Map4k4 mRNA expression in mammalian myoblast or myocyte and one or more additional muscle therapeutic agents and/or muscle-building neutraceuticals.
