Abstract: A method for eliminating harmful algal blooms through optimized utilization of a modified clay method includes building a real-time state index and a standardized value grading system for eliminating a site harmful algal bloom or a harmful algal bloom in accordance with the features of monitored harmful algal bloom organisms and modified clay flocculates; acquiring corresponding grade codes of feature index values of the harmful algal bloom in a to-be-treated water body or harmful algal bloom elimination effect through the real-time site state index and the standardized value grading system; comparing the above grade codes with an expert system to obtain an operation solution for eliminating harmful algal blooms through optimized utilization of the modified clay method. The result is tracked and monitored in real time and the operation solution is optimized and adjusted in time according to the harmful algal bloom elimination effect.

Abstract: A device for treating harmful algal blooms using modified clay includes a power system, a screw conveying storage bin storing and conveying modified clay to a mixed flow system, the mixed flow system that continuously disperses the modified clay in water which is pumped in in site and endowed an impulse so that an adjustable turbulence is formed to instantly adopt the fed powder and then make sure the slurry uniform and ripened, a high-pressure sprinkling system for pressurizing a ripened modified clay slurry and sprinkling the slurry onto the surface of the bloomed water, and a central control system that controls the whole auxiliary device.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods for detecting nucleic acids by generating mass changes in a ligand on an SPR surface through target-dependent enzymatic reaction.

Abstract: The subject invention provides compounds useful as fluorogenic substrates for the hydrolytic enzymes. Upon hydrolysis of the hydrolyzable group, a halo-pyrene substituted molecule is developed which is highly fluorescent, water soluble and exhibits several desirable characteristics, including a large Stokes' shift.

Abstract: The present invention describes methods to construct circularization indexers and use them to selectively circularize, purify, and manipulate nucleic acids from a complex nucleic acid mixture. An assay is provided to detect nucleic acid without any amplification. Kits for preparing indexing nucleic acid targets and for high-level multiplexing DNA amplification are provided. The present invention also describes a method to construct a nucleic acids amplification assembly, in which the nucleic acid amplification is self-primed without the need for external primers. In this method, double stranded oligonucleotides with two cohesive ends (C-indexers) are used to circularize double-stranded or single-stranded nucleic acid targets in such a way that one of the strands is completely circularized while the other strand either contains a nick (if the targets are double-stranded) or is only hybridized to part of the targets (if the targets are single-stranded).

Abstract: A method for discovery of a polymorphism in a population is provided. The method includes the steps of obtaining samples of body tissue or fluid from a plurality of organisms; isolating a biopolymer from each sample; pooling each isolated biopolymer; optionally amplifying the amount of biopolymer; cleaving the pooled biopolymers to produce fragments thereof; obtaining a mass spectrum of the resulting fragments; and comparing the frequency of each fragment to identify fragments present in amounts lower than the average frequency, thereby identifying any polymorphisms.
