Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein generally relate to technologies for evaluating a biological sample obtained from a subject with respect to a sepsis state or coronavirus disease (COVID). Some methods relating to the technologies can include receiving peptide structure data corresponding to the biological sample obtained from the subject, identifying a peptide structure profile for the biological sample using the peptide structure data, and computing a disease indicator using the peptide structure profile and a model. The disease indicator can indicate whether the biological sample is positive for the sepsis state. The disease indicator can indicate whether the biological sample is positive for COVID. The peptide structure profile can comprise quantification data for a set of peptide structures associated with the sepsis state. The peptide structure profile can include peptides that are glycosylated, aglycosylated, or both.

Abstract: Generative adversarial models have several benefits; however, due to mode collapse, these generators face a quality-diversity trade-off (i.e., the generator models sacrifice generation diversity for increased generation quality). Presented herein are embodiments that improve the performance of adversarial content generation by decelerating mode collapse. In one or more embodiments, a cooperative training paradigm is employed where a second model is cooperatively trained with the generator and helps efficiently shape the data distribution of the generator against mode collapse. Moreover, embodiments of a meta learning mechanism may be used, where the cooperative update to the generator serves as a high-level meta task and which helps ensures the generator parameters after the adversarial update stay resistant against mode collapse. In experiments, tested employments demonstrated efficient slowdown of mode collapse for the adversarial text generators.

Abstract: An information verification method based on a cloud security technology is provided. Before transmitting to-be-verified information including user information, a terminal device performs encryption processing on the to-be-verified information by using random numbers and a public key issued by a verification server, to obtain to-be-verified ciphertext information, which is to be used throughout transmission for logging into a server of a third-party application. The server of the third-party application cannot decrypt the to-be-verified information and the to-be-verified information may be obtained only by the verification server. The verification server transmits an application login success message to the terminal device based on decryption processing on the to-be-verified ciphertext information. In this way, the server of the third-party application may be logged in to without exposing privacy information of a user to the third-party application, thereby improving the security of identity verification.

Abstract: Disclosed are an aperture-adjustable mixed-flow nozzle and its atomization method. The nozzle includes a cylindrical shell with an airflow chamber and a mixed-flow chamber. The airflow chamber is connected to an air inlet, and the mixed-flow chamber is connected to a liquid inlet.
