Abstract: A system for enabling escrow-free, secure, and convenient atomic asset swaps between blockchains are provided. In detail, when any group of users reach an agreement on the content of cross-chain asset swap transactions, each participant creates an individual signature on the content of each transaction, employs a reversible signature aggregate function to produce an aggregate signature from all his/her individual signatures, and optionally generates a proof to prove the relationship between the aggregated signature and the transaction contents. Sequentially, all the participants exchange these aggregated signatures and optional proofs. Once a participant publishes one of his/her individual signature, the other parties can use both signatures—one from the sender and the other from the recipient—to construct a complete transaction. Once a transaction is broadcast, its corresponding transactions are constructed, and broadcast.

Abstract: A fault-tolerant asset transferring method is provided to prevent financial losses caused by human errors, specifically unintentional mistakes made by the payer. The system introduces a new definition for blockchain transaction parameters, allowing for multi-input transactions. Each payment transaction includes the payee's signature for confirmation and the payer's signature. In addition, a system is designed to handle multi-input asset transfer transactions which incorporate the payer's confirmation. Upon reaching an agreement on the transaction content, each participant generates an independent off-chain signature on the transaction's content. In the event that participants generate a signature on the erroneous content of a transaction, the transaction will be accepted in the blockchain with very low probability due to transaction validation.

Abstract: A method for forecasting server demand includes collecting a historical number of scoring requests from a network using a serverless architecture. A scoring request capacity per server is determined using the historical number of scoring requests. A prediction model predicts a first future value of scoring requests for a first future time span. A current number of servers in a pool of servers handling the scoring requests. Using the prediction model, a determination of whether the current number of servers is capable of handling the first future value of scoring requests for the first future time span is made. Upon determining that the current number of servers is incapable of handling the first future value of scoring requests, one or more additional servers are warmed up. The warmed-up additional servers are added to the pool of servers prior to an arrival of the first future time span.

In present invention the 39 amino acids of the N-terminal ?-helix part of surface protein Ata (Acinetobacter trimeric autotransporter) of Acinetobacter baumannii, was took to fuse with CTB, and express in BL21. The protein was purified by a nickel column, and used to intraperitoneally immunize mouses by 2.5 ?g/mouse. Its immunogenicity and immunoprotection was verified through the animal experiments, which proves it has a good effect of anti-infection of Acinetobacter baumannii.
