摘要： Embodiments of the present disclosure enable rapid detection of viruses present in ambient air flows. A fan disposed in an ambient environment may be activated to direct an air flow to an ambient inlet of an analysis device. As an ambient air flow enters an inlet of the analysis device, a heating element may introduce heat into the air flow, causing VOCs to be released. A mass spectrometer-based analysis device may be used to analyze the VOCs to detect the presence of one or more target VOCs that indicate the presence of a virus or other harmful molecule in the ambient air flow.

摘要： A method can include receiving a protein sequence (S) of a hybrid repressor, determining an original compatibility score C(S), where the compatibility score C is a function of the protein sequence (S) and predicting, based on the compatibility score C, a performance of the hybrid repressor. The hybrid protein sequence includes a plurality of DNA-binding modules (DBMs) and a plurality of ligand-binding modules (LBMs).

摘要： Provided is an insert adapter for direct ink writing printers (DIW) and methods of fiber alignment in direct ink writing. The insert adapter is sized to fit snugly inside a print barrel DIW 3D printer. The adapter includes channels. The DIW printer with insert adapter, can be used in a passive method for microfiber alignment in DIW printing. The method includes feeding a non-Newtonian ink including microfibers through the print barrel such that the ink flows into the channels of the insert adapter before exiting through a print nozzle, causing the microfibers to align along the direction of ink flow.

摘要： Disruption of a Lipid Droplet Regulatory—Tudor Domain Containing (LRT1) gene in plants leads to accumulation of storage lipids in cells of the plants. An increased amount of lipids storage in these plants offers new possibilities for developing crops with more energy dense biomass and increased seed oil content.

摘要： Embodiments provide a skimming detection device including a one or more sensors configured to detect characteristics that may be used to detect the presence of a skimming device. Sensor data generated by the sensor(s) may be compared to reference sensor data to detect the presence of a skimming device. An output that indicates whether a skimming device is not present, likely present (e.g., the consumer or user should assume the scanned device contains a skimmer or has otherwise been compromised), or confirmed to be present may be generated and presented to a user. Such capabilities may enable user to quickly scan a device (e.g., an ATM, a fuel pump, etc.) to determine whether a skimming device is present and take action to mitigate the use of any detected skimming devices.

摘要： The present application relates to methods for depositing two-dimensional materials (e.g., MoS2, WS2, MoTe2, MoSe2, WSe2, BN, BN—C composite, and the like) onto lithium electrodes. Battery systems incorporating lithium metal electrodes coated with two-dimensional materials are also described. Methods may include intercalating the two-dimensional materials to facilitate flow of Lithium ions in and out of the lithium electrode. Two-dimensional material coated lithium electrodes provide for high cycling stability and significant performance improvements. Systems and methods further provide electrodes having carbon structures (e.g., carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene, porous carbon, free-standing 3D CNTs, etc.) with sulfur coatings.

摘要： The present invention includes a method for identifying a patient response to treatment for Alzheimer's Disease with a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) or an acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor drug comprising: obtaining a blood or serum sample from the patient; determining the presence of a proinflammatory endophenotype in the blood or serum sample of the patient; using the proinflammatory endophenotype to detect treatment response (a responder, a stable, a non-responder or an adverse responder); and treating the patient with the NSAID or the AChE inhibitor if the patient is in the responder or the stable treatment response phenotype group; or preventing a treatment with the NSAID or the AChE inhibitor if the patient is a non-responder or an adverse responder.
