Abstract: An in-situ detection device for detecting water and fertilizer content in a crop cultivation substrate and a detection method thereof are provided. The in-situ detection device includes a water and fertilizer in-situ collector and a spectrum analysis device. The water and fertilizer in-situ collector that is pre-buried in the cultivation substrate is used to collect water and fertilizer in the cultivation substrate in real time to obtain a measurement sample. The spectral analysis device is used to emit a laser with a specific wavelength to detect and analyze content of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium in the measurement sample collected by the water and fertilizer in-situ collector; and a continuous sampling system for continuously transporting the measurement sample is provided between the water and fertilizer in-situ collector and the spectrum analysis device.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of double-stranded RNA (ds RNA) mediated gene silencing of root knot nematodes. The invention particularly provides an effective method for reducing the number of reproducing population and the number of progenies per individual of the root knot nematodes. The present invention also relates to host delivered dsRNA for controlling infection of root knot nematodes.

Abstract: A skin wound dressing is disclosed. The skin wound dressing comprises Tremella polysaccharide and alginate and is used to cover on a skin wound to accelerate wound healing. The Tremella polysaccharide is isolated from a hot water extract of Tremella fuciformis. The skin wound dressing is a Tremella polysaccharide composite fiber, a Tremella polysaccharide sponge or a Tremella polysaccharide hydrogel.

Abstract: A complex cap includes a coupling element, a shielding element and at least one filtering element. The coupling element has a first coupling part to be coupled with a neck portion of a bottle body, a recess formed in the first coupling part, and a first opening is formed in a bottom of the recess. The first opening is communicated with the mouth portion of the bottle body when the first coupling part is coupled with the neck portion of the bottle body. The shielding element is used for at least partially sheltering the first opening of the coupling element and comprises a second coupling part to be tight-fitted into the recess of the coupling element. The filtering element is mounted in the recess of the coupling element and arranged between the coupling element and the shielding element for filtering off external contaminants and controlling gas-permeable amount.

Abstract: A bioreactor includes a nutrient reservoir, a rotatable culture bed, at least one culture carrier medium, a mist generator and a mist delivery pipe. The nutrient reservoir stores therein a nutrient solution required for the fungus, plant cell, tissue, organ, hairy roots and plantlet. The rotatable culture bed is rotated at a specified speed. The at least one culture medium has thereon the fungus, plant cell, tissue, organ, hairy roots and plantlet and is supported on the rotatable culture bed. The mist generator is used for producing mists of the nutrient solution. The mist delivery pipe delivers therein the mists of the nutrient solution and has a mist-exit port adjusted to a desired level above the culture medium so as to discharge and spray the mists over the fungus, plant cell, tissue, organ, hairy roots and plantlet.

Abstract: It has been found that the polysaccharide isolated from a hot water extract of a Tremella mushroom without adding a chemical reagent has a novel effect of preventing and/or treating of intestinal disorder. The Tremella polysaccharide has excellent stability, water absorbing and holding ability, and swelling capacity, so it can be used to raise fecal water content and increase fecal volume, so as to improve intestinal disorder characterized by constipation and symptom caused by constipation.

Abstract: A packaging carton box for flower and plant transportation is disclosed. The flower and plant packaging carton box comprises a main body having a bottom surface, wherein the bottom surface comprises at least a first pore hole. While plural of the packaging carton boxes are piled up, an air flow channel is formed by the first pore holes at the bottom surfaces of the main bodies, so as to cooperate with the transport carrier having a cold air flow blowing from bottom to top. Therefore, the cold air flow may enter the interior of each of the main body of the packaging carton box through the first pore hole and the air flow channel for adjusting the interior temperature and humidity of the packaging carton box.

Abstract: It has been found that the polysaccharide isolated from a hot water extract of a Tremella mushroom without adding a chemical reagent has a novel effect of inhibiting melanin formation effects, so it can be used to lighten the spots on the skin when being applied to the skin. In addition, the Tremella polysaccharide of the present invention has excellent moisturizing effect.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for detecting mastitis in an animal, characterized by the steps of collecting milk from the animal, and assaying the milk for a substance produced in the animal in an anaerobic environment, and comparing the substance levels obtained with typical substance levels found in uninfected milk.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a protienaceous compound or functionally active derivative or part thereof having a binding site for a group represented by formula (I) which is part of a group of toxins derived from various cyanobacteria, to a method for its production, to diagnostic kits and to an affinty matrix (e.g. for use in immunoaffinity columns, online detection and purifications devices) containing the proteinaceous compound as well as to methods for substantially decreasing the amount of a compound containing the group represented by formula (I) in fluids or for concentrating compounds, e.g. toxins, containing the group represented by formula (I) from fluids such as crude water samples, extracts of algae or other tissue samples, e.g. to determine toxin concentrations.

Abstract: A process and apparatus are described for clarifying milkhouse wastewater, which is rich in phosphorus and also contains colloidal and suspended solids. This wastewater is obtained during the washing of milk pipelines of a dairy milking system. The wastewater is collected in a treatment vessel, with the ratio of suspended solids to phosphorus in the wastewater being lowered either before entering or while in the treatment vessel. To this wastewater of lowered suspended solids:phosphorus ratio, there is added sufficient calcium, preferably in the form of lime, to react with all of the phosphorus in the wastewater to form calcium hydroxyapatite precipitate. It has been discovered that, by lowering the ratio of suspended solids:phosphorus, sufficient calcium hydroxyapatite precipitate is formed to sweep with it during settling substantially all colloidal and suspended solids thereby leaving a clear, environmentally safe effluent water.
