Abstract: A device and method for generating article markup information are provided. The method for generating article markup information includes the following. Segmentation processing is performed on an article to generate a segmentation result. Name entity recognition is performed on the segmentation result to generate a first recognition result. Whether the segmentation result includes any word in an expansion list is determined. Expanded entity classification conversion is performed on the first recognition result to generate a second recognition result. The second recognition result and the segmentation result are used as markup information.

Abstract: A device includes a first channel layer, a second channel layer, a gate structure, a source/drain epitaxial structure, and a source/drain contact. The first channel layer and the second channel layer are arranged above the first channel layer in a spaced apart manner over a substrate. The gate structure surrounds the first and second channel layers. The source/drain epitaxial structure is connected to the first and second channel layers. The source/drain contact is connected to the source/drain epitaxial structure. The second channel layer is closer to the source/drain contact than the first channel layer is to the source/drain contact, and the first channel layer is thicker than the second channel layer.

Abstract: A method for evaluating a risk of a subject getting a specific disease includes steps of: storing a reference database that contains original parameter sets; selecting target alleles from an SNP profile derived from genome sequencing data of a subject; selecting target parameter sets from among the original parameter sets; calculating, for each of the target parameter sets, a race factor based on a global risk allele frequency and a group-specific risk allele frequency included in the target parameter set; calculating a genetic factor based on statistics, global reference allele frequencies, the race factors for the target parameter sets, and numbers of chromosomes in homologous chromosome pairs included in the target parameter sets; calculating a citation factor based on numbers of citation times included in the target parameter sets; and calculating a risk score based on the genetic factor and the citation factor.

Abstract: A method for treating wastewater containing ertriazole compounds is provided. Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) having a neutral to slightly acidic pH value is added to the wastewater containing triazole compounds for reaction, thereby effectively reacting more than 90% of triazole compounds.

Abstract: A method for predicting clinical severity of a neurological disorder includes steps of: a) identifying, according to a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) image of a brain, brain image regions each of which contains a respective portion of diffusion index values of a diffusion index, which results from image processing performed on the MRI image; b) for one of the brain image regions, calculating a characteristic parameter based on the respective portion of the diffusion index values; and c) calculating a severity score that represents the clinical severity of the neurological disorder of the brain based on the characteristic parameter of the one of the brain image regions via a prediction model associated with the neurological disorder.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for forming tungsten features in semiconductor devices is provided. The method includes exposing a top opening of a feature formed in a substrate to a physical vapor deposition (PVD) process to deposit a tungsten liner layer within the feature. The PVD process is performed in a first processing region of a first processing chamber and the tungsten liner layer forms an overhang portion, which partially obstructs the top opening of the feature. The substrate is transferred from the first processing region of the first processing chamber to a second processing region of a second processing chamber without breaking vacuum. The overhang portion is exposed to nitrogen-containing radicals in the second processing region to inhibit subsequent growth of tungsten along the overhang portion. The feature is exposed to a tungsten-containing precursor gas to form a tungsten fill layer over the tungsten liner layer within the feature.
