    Abstract: A predicting method of cell deconvolution based on a convolutional neural network is provided. The convolutional neural network technology is used to speculate the cell type composition proportion of a tissue from single-cell RNA sequencing data. Compared with a traditional cell deconvolution algorithm, the predicting method of cell deconvolution based on a convolutional neural network overcomes the defects that the traditional cell deconvolution algorithm needs to carry out complex data preprocessing and needs to design a mathematical algorithm to standardize the single-cell sequencing data. According to the convolutional neural network designed by the present disclosure, hidden features can be extracted from the single-cell RNA sequencing data, network nodes have very high robustness to noise and errors of the data, and internal relations among various genes are fully mined, so that the cell deconvolution performance is improved.

  • Patent number: 10308516
    Abstract: Provided is a method for continuous production of zeolite in which a starting material is continuously supplied to a tubular reactor to produce an aluminophosphate zeolite that contains, in the framework structure, at least aluminum atoms and phosphorus atoms or an aluminosilicate zeolite having 5?SiO2/Al2O3?2000. The tubular reactor is heated using a heat medium; a ratio (volume)/(lateral surface area) of the volume (inner capacity) to the lateral surface area of the tubular reactor is 0.75 cm or smaller; and seed crystals are added to the starting material. Through using a small-diameter tubular reactor and heating with a heat medium, it becomes possible to heat sufficiently the entirety of a starting material (zeolite precursor gel) in a short time, and to allow reaction to proceed at a high rate. The occurrence of irregular pressure fluctuations during continuous production of the zeolite can be prevented by adding seed crystals.
