  • Patent number: 11945744
    Abstract: Disclosed are a method and apparatus for reusing wastewater. The method for reusing wastewater disclosed herein includes: generating a mixed wastewater by mixing multiple types of wastewater (S20); performing a first purification by passing the mixed wastewater through a flocculation-sedimentation unit (S40); performing a second purification by passing an effluent of the flocculation-sedimentation unit through a membrane bioreactor (MBR) (S60); performing a third purification by passing an effluent of the MBR through a reverse-osmosis membrane unit (S80); and reusing an effluent of the reverse-osmosis membrane unit as cooling water or industrial water (S100).

  • Patent number: 10619188
    Abstract: Cloning vectors encoding endonuclease capable of removing false positives. Attempts to diagnose and/or select appropriate treatment methods via genetic screening can be rendered inaccurate do the presence of false positive. The error causing false positives may include double-stranded nucleic acids comprising a bulge and/or Y-junction. Expression vectors encoding an endonuclease capable of removing such error causing false positives are disclosed, along with methods of utilizing the encoded endonucleases to increase diagnostic accuracy and permit selection of more appropriate treatments.

  • Publication number: 20160264987
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for enhancing non-biological stress resistance in plants and a composition for accelerating germination. A nucleotide sequence of the present invention is involved in the resistance against the drying stresses in plants, and a transformed plant in which the nucleotide sequence is overexpressed has prominent resistance against various kinds of non-biological stress, including drought stress. In addition, the nucleotide sequence of the present invention is involved in ABA hormone sensitivity in plants, and germination is greatly improved in a plant in which the nucleotide sequence expression is suppressed. Therefore, the composition of the present invention can be useful as new functional crops regardless of the climate of the cultivation area, or as seeds for long-term storage with an increased storage period.
