  • Publication number: 20240264321
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method and system provide the ability to detect an earthquake. Distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) data is obtained. A deep neural network model that picks seismic phase arrival times on the DAS data is acquired. A semi-supervised learning approach is utilized to train the deep neural network model. The semi-supervised learning approach utilizes existing labels from a defined seismic dataset to generate pseudo labels on the DAS data. An earthquake is detected by applying the trained deep neural network model to new DAS data.

  • Publication number: 20230270757
    Abstract: A salfaprodil freeze-dried powder injection, and a preparation method thereof and the use thereof are proposed. The preparation method may include adding salfaprodil into water for injection, filtering after the salfaprodil is completely dissolved, and adjusting pH of filtrate with an alkaline substance water solution. The method may also include adding the injection water to achieve a constant volume, filling with an inert gas for protection, and performing sterilization and filtration to obtain a salfaprodil solution, which is then freeze-dried to obtain the -salfaprodil freeze-dried powder injection.

  • Publication number: 20170334885
    Abstract: This invention relates to pyrazole compounds or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. Compounds of this invention are inhibitors of methionine aminopeptidase 2 (MetAP2) and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4). MetAP2 is a metalloproteinase that cleaves initiator methionine from nascent peptide emerging from the ribosomes. WO 2010/065879 reports small molecule MetAP2 inhibitors for obesity treatment. DPP-4 inhibitors are an established drug class to improve glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Compounds with dual inhibitory activity in both MetAP2 and DPP-4 are desired. The present invention provides novel compounds with dual MetAP2 and DPP-4 inhibitition. These dual inhibitor compounds can be useful in the treatment of a MetAP2 and DPP-4 mediated condition. The present invention provides a compound of the following Formula (I); or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
