Abstract: The present invention relates to a ceramic slate with a colored jade effect and a preparation method comprising: pressing and forming raw materials containing a ceramic base material and colored glass fragments to obtain a ceramic green body; drying and firing the ceramic green body to give a ceramic slate with colored jade effect particles dispersed on the surface of the green body; wherein, the colored glass fragments account for 3 wt % to 5 wt % of the ceramic base material. Since colored glass waste instead of frits and pigments is used to prepare the ceramic slate with the colored jade effect, the ceramic slate does not have the phenomenon of pigment dispersion after high-temperature firing, and the surface of the fired ceramic slate shows a shape of micro-protrusion, so that the polished tile surface is smoother and free from pits, resulting in a better tile surface effect.

Abstract: In a group chat-based instant messaging method, a message is received from a first messaging application of a first user in a first messaging group. The first messaging application is associated with a first messaging service. When the message is to be announced to all group members of the first messaging group, whether the first user is authorized to send the message is determined based on identity information of the first user. Based on the first user being authorized, protocol conversion on the message is performed based on a second messaging protocol of a second messaging service to output the message in a first preset announcement style for messages announced to all group members. The converted message is transmitted, via a second messaging server, to a second messaging application corresponding to one of the plurality of group members in the first messaging group.

Abstract: Techniques, systems, and devices are described for providing a computational frame for estimating high-dimensional stochastic behaviors. In one exemplary aspect, a method for performing numerical estimation includes receiving a set of measurements of a stochastic behavior. The set of correlated measurements follows a non-standard probability distribution and is non-linearly correlated. Also, a non-linear relationship exists between a set of system variables that describes the stochastic behavior and a corresponding set of measurements. The method includes determining, based on the set of measurements, a numerical model of the stochastic behavior. The numerical model comprises a feature space comprising non-correlated features corresponding to the stochastic behavior. The non-correlated features have a dimensionality of M and the set of measurements has a dimensionality of N, M being smaller than N.

Abstract: Disclosed is use of 5?-androst-3?,5,6?-triol or an analogue, a deuterated compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof in the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of cerebral small vessel disease in a patient. The cerebral small vessel disease is preferably cerebral microbleed. The cerebral microbleed is spontaneous cerebral microbleed, drug-related cerebral microbleed, or traumatic cerebral microbleed. The present invention demonstrates that these compounds significantly enhance the clearance of extravascular hemoglobin, and thus can be used to treat cerebral small vessel disease.

Abstract: Systems and methods implement a modular computing environment for Bayesian optimization, decoupling steps of Bayesian optimization across multiple modules; minimizing inter-module dependency; extending functionality of each module; and reusing computing resources and intermediate results within each module. Variable hyperparameterization may reduce computational costs of optimization iterations, while also averting overfitting and destabilization of the Gaussian kernel based on sparser observations of the objective function. Computational complexity of updating the Gaussian kernel may be reduced from the cube to the square of the set of sampled outputs, by deferring computing updates to each hyperparameter while the optimization iterations are ongoing.
