Abstract: The present disclosure provides an application of TRPM8 agonist, TRPA1 agonist or TRPV1-4 agonist as a substance for masking bitterness, an application of one or more substances as a taste masking agent, an application of one or more substances in an oral spray or mouthwash for masking bitterness, and an oral spray or taste masking agent for masking bitterness. The present disclosure finds that TRPM8 receptor agonists and TRPV1-4 and TRPA1 agonists all have the effect of masking the perception of oral bitterness. TRPM8 receptor agonists stimulate cold channels, and TRPV1-4 and TRPA1 stimulate hot channels. The cool feeling can be used to neutralize the heat feeling, eliminating the uncomfortable and hot pain and bringing a relatively cool and pleasant pleasure.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products are provided for saving memory during training of knowledge graph neural networks. The method includes receiving a training dataset including a first set of knowledge graph embeddings associated with a plurality of entities for a first layer of a knowledge graph, inputting the training dataset into a knowledge graph neural network to generate at least one further set of knowledge graph embeddings associated with the plurality of entities for at least one further layer of the knowledge graph, quantizing the at least one further set of knowledge graph embeddings to provide at least one set of quantized knowledge graph embeddings, storing the at least one set of quantized knowledge graph embeddings in a memory, and dequantizing the at least one set of quantized knowledge graph embeddings to provide at least one set of dequantized knowledge graph embeddings.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for synthesizing realistic time series data that may be used to better identify outliers within the synthesized realistic time series data. Noise can be introduced to a time domain representation of time series data and can introduce noise to a frequency domain representation of the time series data. Further, labeled anomalous points can be inserted into the time series data. The time series data may then be used for training a machine learning model to identify anomalies within new time series data.

Abstract: Disclosed is a microwave chemical method for totally extracting fluorine and rare earth from bastnaesite concentrate, including: alkaline conversion defluorination of bastnaesite through microwave irradiation, microwave-assisted leaching of fluorine, solid-liquid separation of leaching solution and microwave-assisted leaching of rare earth. The rare earth hydrochloric acid solution for leaching contains no fluorine ion, so that the fluorine interference of subsequent processes such as impurity removal can be completely avoided; the fluorine and the rare earth are leached with microwaves, which does not need the stirring, so that the automatic control is easy to implement; the fluorine and rare earth leaching speed is high, the leaching time is short and the complete leaching of fluorine and little residual alkali in the slag can be realized by two-time leaching; and no fluorine-containing waste water is discharged, and the total extraction of the rare earth can be realized by one-time leaching.

Abstract: A method of designing supports for an underground mine opening comprising the steps of: receiving mine slope information including at least one of site location, entry length, entry grade, entry orientation, size of opening, surface topology, adjacent borehole data and rock mechanics test data, historical roof fall height, and expected steel set support capacity; conducting stress and geological condition evaluation of the mine opening using a finite element computer modeling program based on the mine opening information; and designing structural supports for the mine opening utilizing the stress and geological condition evaluation of the mine opening.

Abstract: A truss shoe for a roof support system includes a bolt receiving section, an intermediate section, and a cable engaging section. The cable receiving section has a passageway having a first open end spaced from, and in facing relationship, to the bolt receiving section and an opposite second end, wherein the passageway has a cone-shaped portion having a decreasing diameter as the distance from the first end of the passageway increases to receive a wedge shaped cable retention assembly. The surface of the intermediate section includes a cut out portion that extends from the first opening of the passageway toward the bolt receiving section and terminating at a riser. A locking tube has one end in the passageway in facing relationship to the retention assembly and the other end in engagement with the riser to prevent the retention assembly from moving out of the first opening of the passageway.
