Abstract: Methods of treating soil contained in a volume of treatment in an underground site and forming a containment barrier within an underground site are contemplated herein. A treatment methodology may be administered upon soil having previously been contained in the volume of treatment. Such a treatment methodology may include the application of an adsorbent to this soil. A layer of micron-sized adsorbents may also be placed on one or more interfaces surrounding the volume of treatment to form a containment barrier operative to mitigate diffusion of contaminants into or from the volume of treatment. Soil in the volume of treatment may be removed to allow for the methods contemplated herein to be performed more simply and effectively. The volume of treatment may then be refilled with a filler.

Abstract: A portable computing device for displaying weather information. The device includes a transceiver configured to send and receive weather information, a display controller configured to generate a weather scene display including the weather information based on a received shaking input provide to the portable computing device and a display configured to present the generated weather scene display. The display controller is configured to display flitter configured to obscure the generated weather scene display during the receiving of the weather information and/or updating of the generated weather scene display.

Abstract: A herbicide resistant transformed sugar beet that is detectable by the specific primers developed to match the DNA sequences that flank the left and/or right border region of the inserted transgenic DNA and the method of identifying primer pairs containing plant genomic DNA/plasmid DNA. More specifically, the present invention covers a specific glyphosate resistant sugar beet plant having an insertion of the transgenic material identified as the T227-1 event. The present invention additionally covers primer pairs: plant genomic DNA/Plasmid DNA that are herein identified. Additionally, these primer pairs for either the left or the right flanking regions make an event specific test for the T227-1 insert of transgenic material.

Abstract: Our invention comprises a gene restorer line of Brassica napus which contains a Raphanus sativus restorer gene but is essentially free of Raphanus sativus genes which produce high glucosinolate. In particular, we provide a gene restorer line, and progeny derived therefrom, seed of which is low in glucosinolates. The Brassica napus restorer lines are free of glucosinolate-producing genes having a characteristic RFLP signature. The method of producing such lines which comprises crossing Brassica napus restorer lines and hybrids with desired Brassica napus germplasm and selecting progeny having a characteristic RFLP signature is also encompassed by the present invention.
