Abstract: A measurable micro-communication device includes a main body, a camera and a measurement sensor, a display screen is provided at a front surface of the main body, and both the camera and the measurement sensor are configured at a top surface of the main body. Since the camera is configured at the top surface of the main body, thus if the measurable micro-communication device is lain on flat position, user can also take pictures by using the camera, without picking up the device. Thus the camera operation is more convenient. Furthermore, since the measurement sensor is configured at the top surface of the main body, by which distance and temperature can be measured, thereby enriching the utility function of the micro-communication device to satisfy the increasing user demands.

Abstract: A wearable device made by amorphous alloy with antibacterial function includes a functional part adapted for implementing using functions of the wearable device; and an amorphous alloy housing configured out of the functional part and adapted for cladding the functional part to prevent the functional part from directly contacting with a user. Since the wearable device has the amorphous alloy housing covering on the functional part, thus the amorphous alloy housing rather than the functional part will contact with the user skin directly. As the amorphous alloy has excellent bactericidal capability, thus user wearing such a wearable device will get a good user experience.

Abstract: A convenient and versatile method for preparing complex metal oxides is disclosed. The method uses a low temperature, environmentally friendly gel-collection method to form a single phase nanomaterial. In one embodiment, the nanomaterial consists of BaAMnBTiCOD in a controlled stoichiometry.

Abstract: A histone deacetylase gene OsHDT1 which enhances utilization of heterosis in rice is isolated and cloned, said gene consisting of: 1) the DNA sequence of positions 1-894 in SEQ ID NO:1 in the Sequence listing; or 2) a DNA sequence which encodes the same protein as that encoded by the DNA sequence of 1). The histone deacetylase gene OsHDT1 is associated with enhanced utilization of heterosis in rice. When the transgenic plants having no phenotype were crossed with “Zhenshan 97A”, the F1 overexpression hybrid plants have obviously earlier flowering period than F1 wild-type hybrid plants. Moreover, the RNAi inhibition hybrid plants have a decreased seed setting rate compared to the negative control hybrid plants, while the parent RNAi inhibition plants and negative control plants shows no evident difference in the trait of seed setting rate. Western blotting revealed that the gene is capable of deacetylating histone, mainly at H4K16 site.
