Abstract: There is disclosed a composition of an aqueous solution comprising, consisting or consisting essentially of a flap endonuclease, a bulking agent and an organic buffer, wherein the aqueous solution has an inorganic salt concentration of 5 mM or less and wherein the composition is substantially free of glycerol.

Abstract: Provided herein are compositions, kits, and methods for detecting methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) nucleic acids. In some embodiments, the compositions, kits, and methods can be used to detect one or more of type i, ii, iii, iv, v, vi, vii, viii, ix, xii, xiii, xiv, xv, or xxi SCCmec right extremity junction (MREJ) MRSA nucleic acids and one or more of mecA, mecC, and/or an additional S. aureus-specific gene.

Abstract: A roof frame (1) for a roof structure (2) of a motor vehicle is closed in the circumferential direction and can be mounted on a body shell structure of the motor vehicle and connected to a roof outer shell (3). The roof frame (1) is produced from a fiber composite material. A side of the roof frame (1) that faces the body shell structure of the motor vehicle has height-adjustable installation domes (5) and spacer elements (6) are attached to each of the installation domes (5). The roof frame (1) and the roof outer shell (3) are connected to each other in an integrally bonded manner.

Abstract: A commodity splitter for granular agricultural material includes a chamber having a central section located between an input port and multiple output ports. The central chamber section includes upper and lower planar walls joined by parallel, vertical side walls. First individual upright diverting fins are joined to and extend towards the bottom wall from the upper wall and have respective lower longitudinally extending edges spaced above upper longitudinal edges of second individual upright diverting fins joined to and extend toward the upper wall from the lower wall. The first and second upright fins, respectively, together with the top and bottom walls and opposite side walls form upper and lower vertically spaced material directing channels for directing material from the input port to the outlet ports. The space between the upper and lower channels defines a blockage preventing and pressure-equalizing open area.

Abstract: A commodity splitter (80) for granular agricultural material includes a chamber (84) with an input port (92) and multiple output ports (94, 96, 98), the chamber (84) having first and second walls (110,112) and upright diverting fins (114, 116) connected to and extending from the first horizontal wall (110) towards the second wall (112). The fins (114, 116) terminate in longitudinal edges (114e, 116e) offset from the second wall (112) to form material directing channels (94c, 96c, 98c) of similar cross-sections for directing an amount of the entrained material to each of the multiple outputs (94, 96, 98). The surfaces of the fins (114, 116) mechanically divert material not fully entrained in the air flow and break clumps. A blockage preventing and pressure-equalizing open area (129) is defined within the chamber (84) to allow passage of material clumps and to equalize pressure in the material directing channels (94c, 96c, 98c) for uniform commodity flow.
