Abstract: The present invention discloses a methionine adenosyltransferase (MAT) activity assay method and a kit for measuring MAT activity. A sample and relevant reagents are mixed in certain way that MAT-catalyzed reaction occurs efficiently. The reaction and the competitive ELISA that quantifies the product S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) are carried out simultaneously. The MAT activity is calculated as the amount of SAM produced per unit time. SAM is calculated through spectral absorbance of the SAM produced and comparing it to that of the standard. The method of SAM quantification is via tracer-labelled anti-SAM antibody or SAM (or SAM analog) antigen through competitive ELISA, so that the produced SAM competes with the SAM antigen for binding anti-SAM antibody. The method and the kit described in the present invention are more sensitive, accurate, reliable, straightforward, easier and faster. The method was used to measure the MAT activities of normal and cancerous liver cells.

Abstract: The presently disclosed seismic acquisition technique employs a receiver array and a processing methodology that are designed to attenuate the naturally occurring seismic background noise recorded along with the seismic data during the acquisition. The approach leverages the knowledge that naturally occurring seismic background noise moves with a slower phase velocity than the seismic signals used for imaging and inversion and, in some embodiments, may arrive from particular preferred directions. The disclosed technique comprises two steps: 1) determining from the naturally occurring seismic background noise in the preliminary seismic data a range of phase velocities and amplitudes that contain primarily noise and the degree to which that noise needs to be attenuated, and 2) designing an acquisition and processing method to attenuate that noise relative to the desired signal.
