Abstract: Liquid compositions of chemically unstable pesticides and methods of using the same are provided.

Abstract: An apparatus for driving out a camera module between a locked position and an unlocked position includes a moving assembly, a mounting board, a self-locking switch, and an elastic element. The moving assembly slidably connects with the mounting board. The elastic element can be compressed on retraction to then drive out the moving assembly when released. The camera module when driven out is in an unlocked position.

Abstract: A heat-dissipating device configured to cool the battery pack of an electric vehicle includes a coolant circulating pump and a tank. The coolant circulating pump is configured to engage with the one or more heat dissipation pipes of the electric vehicle and communicate with the one or more heat dissipation pipes. The tank is configured to contain coolant which includes phase change material. When cooling is required, for example during battery recharging, the coolant circulating pump is configured to inject the coolant in the tank into the one or more heat dissipation pipes via the coolant inlet, drive the coolant to flow in the one or more heat dissipation pipes, and take the coolant out from the one or more heat dissipation pipes via the coolant outlet to the exterior. A related electric vehicle and a related heat dissipation method are also provided.

Abstract: A heat management structure able to disperse heat but also able to retain a proper working heat includes a heat dissipation layer, a receiving member, and a heat pipe. The receiving member is configured to receive a heating member. Ends of the heat pipe are coupled to the heat dissipation layer and the receiving member. A related unmanned aerial vehicle is also provided.

Abstract: Compositions and methods for treating diseases and conditions associated with dysregulation of mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) are disclosed. The invention is based in part on the discovery that protein mediator of amino acid signaling to mTOR (MORTOR) is involved in amino acid-induced translocation of mTORC1 to lysosomes where MORTOR forms a signaling complex with mTORC1, Ragulator, and Rag GTPases, which controls protein synthesis. In particular, the invention relates to the use of antagonists of MORTOR for treating diseases and conditions associated with dysregulation of mTORC1. Downregulation of expression of MORTOR by RNA interference has been shown to reduce cell proliferation of cancerous cells and may be useful for treating cancer.

Abstract: A method for preparing a boron fertilizer, including: (1) heating boric acid to a temperature of 180-200° C., maintaining the temperature for 20-30 min for dehydration of the boric acid to yield pyroboric acid; and (2) cooling down the pyroboric acid to a temperature of 40-60° C., crushing, and screening to yield a powdered, weakly acidic, high-content boron fertilizer. The method is energy-saving, environmentally friendly, and low in cost.

Abstract: Disclosed are transgenic non-human mammals, which useful for the screening of thrombopoietin mimetics, thrombopoietin receptor agonists, or thrombopoietin receptor antagonists active on the human thrombopoietin receptor. The transgenic non-human mammal has a genome that comprises a stably integrated transgene construct comprising a polynucleotide sequence encoding a humanized thrombopoietin receptor wherein said transgenic non-human mammal has a baseline blood platelet count corresponding to a physiological blood platelet count of a matched non-transgenic non-human mammal. The chimeric thrombopoietin receptor comprises either the transmembrane domain of a human thrombopoietin receptor or both the extracellular and transmembrane domains of a human thrombopoietin receptor operably coupled to a cytoplasmic domain of a non-human thrombopoietin receptor.
