A GDUTXIONG2 strain of Zavarzinia compransoris capable of degrading an organophosphorus flame retardant is obtained by research, the strain is preserved in China Center for Type Culture Collection (CCTCC) on 10 Jun. 2022, and the accession number is CCTCC NO: M2022855. The GDUTXIONG2 strain has an excellent degradation ability to an organophosphorus flame retardant, the rate of degradation on an organophosphorus flame retardant, i.e., Tris(1,3-dichloroisopropyl)phosphate (TDCPP) can reach more than 99.9%, and the GDUTXIONG2 strain is an efficient degrading bacterium. The GDUTXIONG2 strain can be used for preparing a degrading bacterial agent, is pollution-free and nuisance-free during use, and can be better used for used for the remediation and treatment of the environment polluted by organophosphorus flame retardants.

Abstract: To load and unload a trailer, an autonomous mobile robot determines its location and the location of objects within the trailer relative to the trailer itself, rather than relative to a warehouse. The autonomous mobile robot determines its location the location of objects within the trailer relative to the trailer. The autonomous mobile robot navigates within the trailer and manipulates objects within the trailer from the trailer's reference frame. Additionally, the autonomous mobile robot uses a centerline heuristic to compute a path for itself within the trailer. A centerline heuristic evaluates nodes within the trailer based on how far away those nodes are from the centerline. If the nodes are further away from the centerline, they are assigned a higher cost. Thus, when the autonomous mobile robot computes a path, the path is more likely to stay near the centerline of the trailer rather than get closer to the sides.

Abstract: The present invention provides an electroencephalogram measurement structure formed by an ear-hanging structure and a second circuit board. The ear-hanging structure includes a body. An ear-hanging member is disposed at the extension of the body. The body can be worn on the ear via the ear-hanging member. In addition, a first reference electrode and a second reference electrode are disposed on the body and coupled to a first circuit board. The first circuit board is coupled to an electrical jack; the second circuit board is coupled to the electrical jack via an electrical plug. Thereby, the electroencephalogram measurement can be performed simply by wearing the ear-hanging member on the ear of the person under test. Hence, the problems of complicated wiring and inconvenience in wearing can be solved concurrently.

Abstract: Compositions, articles, systems, and methods for sensing and/or authentication using luminescence imaging are generally provided. In some embodiments, an article (or packaging material of an article) is associated with an emissive material comprising an emissive species (e.g., a luminescent species). In some cases, the emissive species has an emission lifetime of at least 10 nanoseconds (ns). In some cases, a characteristic of an article (e.g., identity, authenticity, age, quality, purity) may be determined by obtaining an image (or series of images) comprising time-dependent information related to an emissive species. In certain instances, for example, the emission lifetime of an emissive species may be determined from an image (or series of images). Since the emission lifetime of an emissive species may be modified by a number of factors, including but not limited to binding or proximity to other molecules (e.g.

Abstract: A user agent (UA) .1 presents a selection screen for selecting function information for calling a function provided by a service in a network with use of the UA.1. Upon detecting that an import button is pressed on the selection screen, the UA.1 acquires a UA list with use of an Intent technique to display the UA list. Upon a selection of a UA.2 from this list, the UA.1 requests the function information to the UA.2, and presents the selection screen in such a manner that the function information acquired based on the request is further included in the selection screen.
