摘要:
The present invention relates to a novel species of Enterobacter, Enterobacter sp. 638, and to its use in connection, for example, with a method for increasing growth in a plant, increasing biomass in a plant, increasing fruit and/or seed productivity in a plant, increasing disease tolerance and/or resistance in a plant, and increasing drought tolerance and/or resistance in a plant, as compared to a control or wild-type plant grown under identical conditions without application of the inventive method or composition. The methods include applying an effective amount of a composition, which includes an isolated culture of Enterobacter sp. 638, to the plant.

A device for removing an insulation jacket from a wire core of an insulated wire or cable is provided for encouraging recycling. The device employs cutting blades engaged to a first roller to cut a slice along the length of an inserted insulated wire or cable. A frictional engagement between the distal edge of the blade and an opposing recess surface provides for translation of the length of wire through the device during rotation of one or both of the blade and recess surface. Translational movement of the blades and a biasing force can enhance the frictional engagement and provide a distance of travel to prevent cutting of the insulated wire or cable.

The present invention provides for methods for detection, diagnosis and prognosis of beryllium-induced disease. In one embodiment, the methods include exposing immune cells from subjects suspected of having beryllium-induced disease to beryllium and assessing the Th-1 cytokines produced. Other embodiments include the use of exposing immune cells from subjects suspected of having beryllium-induced disease to beryllium and assessing Th-1 cytokines produced and using these assessments to indicate the stage of progression of the disease. Therapeutic methods involve assessing the onset or progression of beryllium-induced disease before during and after exposure to a treatment for the disease.
摘要:
A wastewater treatment system, including: an equalization tank arranged to receive wastewater; a flow tube including an interior space bounded by at least one side wall of the flow tube; a plurality of media particles disposed within the interior space; and a pump arranged to pump the wastewater from the equalization tank to the flow tube. The plurality of media particles has a mean diameter of at least 4 millimeters. The wastewater is arranged to drain to the equalization tank through the plurality of media particles and the interior space. The flow tube is arranged to reduce a concentration of an organic contaminant in the wastewater.

The present invention concerns methods and compositions for making and using Be complexes of defined compositions, which may have multiple functionalities and/or binding specificities. In various embodiment, Beryllium (Be) complexes may include Be such as 10Be and 7Be complexes. Such complexes find use in a wide variety of applications, particularly in the field of treatment, detection and/or diagnosis of infections, diseases and other health-related conditions, including but not limited to cancer, autoimmune disease, cardiovascular disease, metabolic diseases, degenerative diseases, and organ transplant rejection. In addition, a Be complex may be used in a BeLPT assay
摘要:
A current-mode D/A converter is described having variable output and offset control. According to an exemplary embodiment, a first D/A converter includes a number of first control inputs and an output capable of generating a first current proportional to a number of active first control inputs. A driver includes an input connected to the output of the first D/A converter, a number of second control inputs, and an output capable of generating a second current proportional to the first current based on a number of active second control inputs. A second D/A converter includes a number of third control inputs and an output capable of generating a third current proportional to a number of active third control inputs. Offset control circuitry includes an input connected to the output of the second D/A converter, an offset control input, and an output connected to the output of the driver. The offset control circuitry is capable of summing the second and third currents at the output of the driver when the control input is active.
摘要:
Based on received data descriptive of an event, a hierarchical data structure is constructed comprising structural elements associated with components of an event. A file folder hierarchy corresponding to the hierarchical data structure is created. User interfaces facilitate user access to files and folders in the hierarchies. Certain documents may be designated as documents of record and access to those documents is limited to processes that will not modify the original electronic document, thereby preserving it. Facilities for creating working copies of documents of records and associating them within the hierarchies are provided. A scanning information sheet that may have an electronically readable data imprint containing information about a document to be scanned is described for facilitating the migration of paper documents into an electronic file management system.
