Abstract: The present disclosure provides a smart device control method, a smart device control apparatus, an electronic device, and a non-transitory computer readable medium. The method includes: determining a target relay node connected to a current terminal after the current terminal enters a target group network; identifying a scene label carried by the target relay node, the scene label being a label of a target area where the target relay node is located, each area including one relay node and at least one proxy node, and each node corresponding to one smart device; and sending a control instruction to the target relay node in a case that it is determined that scene label is labeled correctly, and transmitting, by the target relay node, the control instruction to the proxy node in the target area.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a network configuration method and a network configuration apparatus, a computer device, and a storage medium. The method includes: sending a network configuration request; acquiring a response signal; acquiring a preset network configuration level of a current intelligent device, if a signal intensity corresponding to the response signal is greater than or equal to a preset signal intensity; and acquiring network configuration information according to the preset network configuration level. The network configuration information is used for configuring a network with a router. When the network configuration is performed for various intelligent devices based on the method, the network configuration can be performed according to the preset network configuration level set by a user, thereby meeting personalized network configuration requirements of the user.

Abstract: A method protects a daemon in an operating system of a host computer. The operating system detects that there is an access of a plist file of a daemon by a process in the computer. If so, then it executes a callback function registered for the plist file. The callback function sends to a kernel extension a notification of the attempted access. The kernel extension returns a value to the operating system indicating that the access should be denied. The operating system denies access to the plist file of the daemon by the process. The extension may also notify an application which prompts the user for instruction. The kernel extension also protects itself by executing its exit function when a command is given to unload the extension, and the exit function determines whether or not the command is invoked by an authorized application, such as by checking a flag.

Abstract: Biomarkers that can be used for the detection or diagnosis of disease states, preferably inflammatory bowel disease states, the identification of a treatment regimen for inflammatory bowel disease, and/or to indicate the responsiveness to the treatment regimen for inflammatory bowel disease in a subject are described. Also described are probes capable of detecting the biomarkers and related methods and kits for determining inflammatory bowel disease states and/or identification of treatment regimens for the inflammatory bowel disease states.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for wireless network configuration, a storage medium and a processor. The method includes: monitoring an execution result of a network configuration step in a wireless network configuration process; determining a corresponding failure reason when the execution result of the network configuration step is failure; and executing an operation corresponding to the failure reason. The operation comprises one of the following: outputting prompt information containing the failure reason and adjusting parameters of a network configuration device.

Abstract: Biomarkers that are indicative of the response to the therapy of the inflammatory bowel disease, including ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD), are described. Also described are probes capable of detecting the biomarkers and related methods and kits for predicting the response to the therapy of the inflammatory bowel disease.

Abstract: An echo cancellation method includes receiving an echo reference signal, receiving a microphone signal, decomposing, with a first filter bank, the echo reference signal into a series of subband echo reference signals, decomposing, with a second filter bank, the microphone signal into a series of subband microphone signals, estimating a group delay between the echo reference signal and the microphone signal using the series of subband echo reference signals and the series of subband microphone signals, estimating, using adaptive filters, acoustic echoes in the echo reference signal based at least in part on the group delay, subtracting the acoustic echoes from the series of subband microphone signals to obtain a series of acoustic echo removed subband signals, combining the series of acoustic echo removed subband signals into a single time domain echo removed signal, and sending the single time domain echo removed signal to a host operating system.

Abstract: A method for prognostic or diagnostic assessment of a gastrointestinal-related disorder, such as ulcerative colitis, in a subject correlates the presence, absence, and/or magnitude of a gene in a sample with a reference standard to determine the presence and/or severity of the disorder, and/or the response to treatment for the disorder. The method enables identification of the effectiveness of candidate therapies.

Abstract: Methods of treating disorders related to Oxytocin Receptor activity utilize OXYTOCIN RECEPTOR antagonists, such as antibodies, including specified portions or variants, polypeptides, polynucleotides, small molecule drugs, siRNA, shRNA, and DNAzymes. Disorders related to Oxytocin Receptor activity include inflammatory disorders, such as pulmonary disorders, for example, asthma, emphysema, and COPD.

Abstract: A method for prognostic or diagnostic assessment of a skin-related disorder, such as psoriasis, in a subject correlates the presence, absence, and/or magnitude of a gene in a sample with a reference standard to determine the presence and/or severity of the disorder, and/or the response to treatment for the disorder. The method enables identification of the effectiveness of candidate therapies.

Abstract: A method for assessment of the suitability of a target therapy for a gastrointestinal-related disorder, such as ulcerative colitis, in a subject evaluates the presence, absence, and/or magnitude of expression of one or more genes in a 19- or 5-member gene panel in a sample. The method enables identification of the effectiveness of target therapies prior to starting a patient on such therapies.

Abstract: CNGH0011 polypeptides and nucleic acids encoding a variety of proteins have diagnostic, preventive, therapeutic, and other uses for a number of human and other animal disorders. Nucleic acid antagonist molecules (siRNA, shRNA, among others), expression vectors containing nucleic acid molecules, host cells into which the expression vectors have been introduced, fusion polypeptides, antigenic peptides and antibodies can be utilized to control the level of protein and regulate a variety of cellular processes in diagnostic, screening, and therapeutic methods.
