Abstract: According to implementations of the subject matter described herein, there is provided a solution for generating a summary of a document. In this solution, feature information of pages comprised in a document is extracted, which characterizes at least one type of content contained in each page. Respective importance of the pages is determined at least based on the extracted feature information. A summary of the document is generated for the document by selecting a predetermined number of pages less than the number of the pages based on the respective importance. Through the solution, instead of providing all the pages, pages containing important content may be determined automatically to serve as the summary of the document. This summary allows the user to learn quickly main content of the document, shorten the time consumed in browsing all documents and/or facilitate location of a document of interest as soon as possible.

Abstract: Implementations of the subject matter described herein provide a solution that enables a machine to automatically generate a melody. In this solution, user emotion and/or environment information is used to select a first melody feature parameter from a plurality of melody feature parameters, wherein each of the plurality of melody feature parameters corresponds to a music style of one of a plurality of reference melodies. The first melody feature parameter is further used to generate a first melody that conforms to the music style and is different from the reference melody. Thus, a melody that matches user emotions and/or environmental information may be automatically created.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides processes and systems for ethanol production. In one embodiment, a first beer column receives a first portion of a feed mixture including ethanol and water to form a first beer column bottom stream and a first beer column vaporous overhead stream. A beer column receives a second portion of the feed mixture. A first portion of the first beer column bottom stream is forwarded to a first beer column reboiler. A second portion of the first beer column bottom stream is forwarded to a plurality of evaporators. A condensed portion of the first beer column vaporous overhead stream is forwarded to a stripper column. The stripper column forms a feed stream, which is contacted with a separation system, thereby forming a permeate and a retentate. The permeate is forwarded directly to at least one selected from the first beer column and the stripper column.

Abstract: The present invention uses the CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing technology to rapidly create a male sterile line of tomato and application thereof, The present invention uses the CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing technology to edit the Solyc03g053130 gene of tomato, and then obtains a male sterile mutant which is homozygous and does not contain the CAS9 transgene by self-crossing. The present invention also discloses a method for assisting in identification of a male sterile plant, which is to detect the genotype of SNP1606 in the Solyc03g053130 gene in the genome of tomato, and if the genotype of SNP1606 of the genome of the tomato to be tested is homozygous T/T, the tomato to be tested is a male sterile plant or is a candidate male sterile plant. The male sterile line of tomato and the method for detecting male sterile plants created by the present invention can be applied to other tomato strains, and have great application prospect and economic value in breeding.

Abstract: Inserts can be formed with elution characteristics to cause the inserts to elute an antimicrobial agent when subject to a fluid within a medical device. An insert can be formed with a desired geometry to allow the insert to be compression fit within a medical device to prevent the insert from moving or becoming dislodged once inserted into the medical device. The material may also be hygroscopic so that the insert swells when subject to a fluid thereby enhancing the compression fit of the device within the medical device. In some cases, the material can be reinforced using an internal structure. Inserts can be formed in many ways including by casting, thermoforming, or extrusion. In some cases, the inserts can be formed using a peel-away sleeve or material. The peel-away sleeves can be formed of a non-sticky material which facilitates removal of the inserts once the inserts have cured.
