Abstract:
A system for adjusting a gas delivery mask is provided. The system may include a base, an arm pivotally coupled to the base, and an intermediate member slidably coupled to both the base and the arm. The arm may include a first threaded portion, and the intermediate member may include a second threaded portion coupled to the first threaded portion. Rotation of the second threaded portion relative to the first threaded portion may slide the intermediate member along the arm and relative to the base such that the arm pivots relative to the base.
Abstract:
Nucleoside analogues or base analogues having structure (I), where X=O or NH or S, Y=N or CHR6 or CR6, W=N or NR6 or CHR6 or CR6 or S, n=1 or 2; each R6 is independently H or O or alkyl or alkenyl or alkoxy or aryl or a reporter moiety; where necessary (i.e. when Y and/or W is N or CR6 where R6 is not O) a double bond is present between Y and W or W and W, and Q is H or a sugar or a sugar analogue or a nucleic acid backbone or backbone analogue.
Abstract:
The invention provides a method for maximization of artemisinin yield of the plant Artemisia annua, said method comprising sowing seeds of Artemisia annua plant on raised bed nursery during second and third week of December and maintaining the moisture throughout; transplanting seedlings thus obtained bearing at least 5-15 leaves into the main field fertilized with fertilizer, preferably NPK @ 80,40,40 kg/ha to achieve a population density of 50,000 to 200,000 per ha followed by light irrigation in the second week of March and irrigation every fortnight thereafter; harvesting the crop four times by cutting the plant tops leaving 75-100 cm part of plant for further regeneration, the said harvests are performed in a manner that the first harvest is done in fourth week of May, second harvest in third week of July, third harvest in second week of September and fourth harvest in third week of October of each year; and at each harvesting time care is taken to care at least one green branch, and extracting artemisinin from the plant tissue immediately after each harvest.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a tissue culture process for producing a large number of genetically transformed viable mint plants in vitro. The process of the present invention employs specified pieces of an internodal segment of the stem of the mint plant as the starting material and identifies medium, culture and transformation conditions for producing a large number of genetically transformed plants. Such plants can be selected for desirable characteristics.

Abstract:
This invention provides methods of using labeled primers or probes for nucleic acid target detection and to detect the identity or presence of a nucleotide at certain positions in nucleic acid sequences with single molecule sensitivity using nanopore detection, and sets of oligonucleotide primers for use in such methods, as well as methods of quantitative PCR coupled with nanopore detection.
Abstract:
This disclosure provides systems and methods for sequencing nucleic acids using nucleotide analogues and translocation of tags from incorporated nucleotide analogues through a nanopore. In aspects, this disclosure is related to composition, method, and system for sequencing a nucleic acid using tag molecules and detection of translocation through a nanopore of tags released from incorporation of the molecule.
Abstract:
Receipt of a radio broadcast signal by a mobile communication device is tracked based on a signal strength measurement signal and location information. The signal strength measurement signal indicate a signal strength of the radio broadcast signal, received via a communication channel and measured at the mobile communication device, over a particular time period. The location information indicates a location of the mobile communication device within a geographic area over the particular time period. Effectiveness of the radio broadcast signal is determined with respect to receipt of the radio broadcast signal by a plurality of mobile communication devices within the geographic area over the particular time period.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for sharing a service in a wireless network are disclosed. For example, the method receives a request for sharing a service from a first user endpoint device associated with a first customer, wherein the request is directed to a second user endpoint device associated with a second customer, performs an authentication of the first user endpoint device, determines whether the first user endpoint device has a subscription to a sharing service, determines whether the second user endpoint device has a subscription to the sharing service, attempts to obtain an authorization to enable the first user endpoint device to access the service that is associated with the second user endpoint device, wherein the service is related to a financial transaction privilege and provides a response granting the request for the sharing of the service, if the authorization is received.
