Abstract: An ice making assembly includes an ice mold and a pump assembly for urging an ice-building spray into the ice mold to form an ice billet. A controller operates the pump assembly to provide the ice-building spray at a first flow rate until the ice billet reaches a predetermined thickness and then operates the pump assembly to provide the ice-building spray at a second flow rate that is less than the first flow rate.

Abstract: A modified nucleoside or nucleotide, the 3?-OH of the modified nucleoside or nucleotide being reversibly blocked; meanwhile, the present invention also relates to a kit comprising the nucleoside or nucleotide, and a sequencing method based on the nucleoside or nucleotide.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a modified hydroxyethyl methyl cellulose for an enhanced ceramic tile adhesive, which is prepared from the following raw materials by mass percent: 54%-94% of hydroxyethyl methyl cellulose, 5%-40% of starch ether, 0.5%-3% of dispersing agent and 0.5%-3% of rheological agent, wherein the hydroxyethyl methyl cellulose is prepared from cellulose powder, granular caustic soda, liquid caustic soda, chloromethane and ethylene oxide. A preparation method includes: (1) weighing the raw materials; (2) mixing the cellulose powder, the granular caustic soda, the liquid caustic soda, the chloromethane and the ethylene oxide, carrying out etherification reaction, and then sequentially carrying out neutralization, washing, centrifugation, drying and crushing to obtain the hydroxyethyl methyl cellulose; and (3) mixing and stirring the hydroxyethyl methyl cellulose, the starch ether, the dispersing agent and the rheological agent to obtain the modified hydroxyethyl methyl cellulose.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a modified hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose for an enhanced ceramic tile adhesive, which is prepared from the following raw materials by mass percent: 54%-94% of hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, 5%-40% of starch ether, 0.5%-3% of dispersing agent and 0.5%-3% of rheological agent, wherein the hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose is prepared from cellulose powder, granular caustic soda, liquid caustic soda, chloromethane and propylene oxide. A preparation method includes: (1) weighing the raw materials; (2) mixing the cellulose powder, the granular caustic soda, the liquid caustic soda, the chloromethane and the propylene oxide, carrying out etherification reaction, and then sequentially carrying out neutralization, washing, centrifugation, drying and crushing to obtain the hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose; and (3) mixing and stirring the hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, the starch ether, the dispersing agent and the rheological agent to obtain the modified hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a modified chitosan, a preparation method thereof, and an additive for a tile adhesive, and belongs to the technical field of building additives. In the disclosure, chitosan, an inorganic base, a dispersant having a hydroxyl group and an etherifying agent are added at one time, avoiding the tedious operation of adding inorganic alkali or etherifying agent multiple times. In addition, the etherification reaction is continuously performed under the conditions of gradual temperature increase and pressure increase.

Abstract: A real-time and localized matching method for group purchase includes the following steps: a group purchase database, which stores information of several present group purchase activities, is provided. A present position of a client is received. Nearby group purchase activities held near the client are sifted from the present group purchase activities and provided to the client. A selection message, which includes information of a group purchase activity selected from the nearby group purchase, is received from the client. The client's shopping list for the selected group purchase activity is obtained from the client to register the client's shopping list to the shopping list of the selected group purchase activity in the group purchase database. The contact information of the selected group purchase activity is transmitted to the client if the registered shopping list of the selected group purchase activity satisfies the discount condition of the selected group purchase activity.
