Abstract: Described herein is a method of preparing an unbiased library of phage variants, comprising (a) preparing a population of “acceptor phage”; (b) removing an endogenous target gene and inserting gene variants into the acceptor phage genomes; (c) enriching the recombined phages; and (d) expressing the library for selection. The acceptor phage is a lytic phage comprising a synthetic genome wherein the target gene of interest is flanked by recombinase sites. The acceptor phage infects a first host bacteria expressing a recombination plasmid facilitating recombination. The phages then infect a second host bacteria expressing a counterselection system that accumulates recombined phage variants and selecting against non-recombined phages. The accumulated phage variants infect a third host bacteria. The phage library may then be sequenced and characterized.

Abstract: A method for impact test on a lower abdomen of a vehicle crash test dummy includes: controlling an arc-shaped hammer head to impact a lower abdomen of a preset dummy at a preset speed; obtaining displacements from a displacement sensor, wherein the displacements are generated by the lower abdomen of the preset dummy and the arc-shaped hammer head during the impact; obtaining a pressure from a pressure sensor, wherein the pressure is borne by the lower abdomen of the preset dummy during the impact; and determining, based on the displacements and the pressure, whether the preset dummy satisfies a biological simulation standard. The method is capable of testing whether the current dummy satisfies the biological simulation standard, so as to ensure the accuracy of test data in subsequent vehicle crash tests using the dummy.
