Abstract: Inorganic anions nitrate and nitrite influence metabolic rate and glucose homeostasis. Infusion of nitrite iv caused an acute drop in resting energy expenditure (oxygen consumption) and nitrate, when given perorally, caused a reduction in oxygen consumption during exercise and a depression of the increase in blood glucose observed after an oral glucose tolerance test. The doses of nitrate and nitrite did not cause any detectable change in methemoglobin levels of blood. Also, nitrate and nitrite did not alter lactate levels in blood. This discovery provides useful treatments to regulate the energy expenditure and glucose homeostasis of a mammal by administration of inorganic nitrite and/or nitrate.

Abstract: There is provide an extended release dosage form comprising a release modifying excipient comprising high amylose starch, cross-linked hydroxypropylated amylopectin, and a pre-gelatinized common starch; wherein the release modifying excipient is substantially free of crosslinks between amylose and amylopectin and substantially free of crosslinks between amylose and amylose. It has been found that the extended release properties of conventional cross-linked high amylose starches (e.g., Contramid®) can be reproduced by intimately mixing i) cross-linked chemically modified amylopectin; ii) a high amylose, non-chemically modified starch and; iii) a pre-gelatinized common starch. Producing a release modifying excipient in this way means that no chemical cross linking between (a) amylose and amylopectin or (b) amylose and amylose has occurred—properties heretofore considered vital for Contramid® function.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes a system, method, and computer program for predicting sentiment labels for audio speech utterances using an audio speech sentiment classifier pretrained with pseudo sentiment labels. A speech sentiment classifier for audio speech (“a speech sentiment classifier”) is pretrained in an unsupervised manner by leveraging a pseudo labeler previously trained to predict sentiments for text. Specifically, a text-trained pseudo labeler is used to autogenerate pseudo sentiment labels for the audio speech utterances using transcriptions of the utterances, and the speech sentiment classifier is trained to predict the pseudo sentiment labels given corresponding embeddings of the audio speech utterances. The speech sentiment classifier is then subsequently fine tuned using a sentiment-annotated dataset of audio speech utterances, which may be significantly smaller than the unannotated dataset used in the unsupervised pretraining phase.
