Abstract: This application provides a tumor marker and its applications. The tumor marker includes any one, or a combination of at least two, of imprinted genes Z17, Z18, Z19, Z20, Z21, Z22, Z23, Z25, Z26, Z27, and Z28. If necessary, the tumor marker may further include any one, or a combination of at least two, of imprinted genes Z1, Z2, Z3, Z4, Z5, Z6, Z8, Z9, Z10, N11, Z12, Z13, Z14, Z15, and N16. The imprinted genes in this application have significant diagnostic sensitivity when used as tumor markers for tumor diagnosis and can therefore facilitate early diagnosis of tumors, help increase patients' survival rates, and thus contribute greatly to saving patients' lives. The imprinted genes can also provide important guidance on the treatment and medication of tumors.

Abstract: This invention relates in part to soybean event pDAB8264.44.06.1 and includes a novel expression cassettes and transgenic inserts comprising multiple traits conferring resistance to glyphosate, aryloxyalkanoate, and glufosinate herbicides. This invention also relates in part to methods of controlling resistant weeds, plant breeding and herbicide tolerant plants. In some embodiments, the event sequence can be “stacked” with other traits, including, for example, other herbicide tolerance gene(s) and/or insect-inhibitory proteins. This invention further relates in part to endpoint TaqMan PCR assays for the detection of Event pDAB8264.44.06.1 in soybeans and related plant material. Some embodiments can perform high throughput zygosity analysis of plant material and other embodiments can be used to uniquely identify the zygosity of and breed soybean lines comprising the event of the subject invention. Kits and conditions useful in conducting these assays are also provided.

Abstract: Disclosed are a grading model for detecting the benign and malignant degree of skin tumors and an application thereof. The model grades changes of imprinted genes in tumors by calculating the expression of the loss of imprinting of the imprinted genes, the expression of the copy number variation of the imprinted genes and the total expression of the imprinted genes. The detection model and device intuitively express the presentation of the loss of imprinting on tissue and cell samples of patients with skin tumors, detect the changes of imprinted genes by means of in-situ marking objectively, intuitively and accurately in an early phase, provide a quantitative model, and make a great contribution to the diagnosis of skin tumors.

Abstract: Foam compositions are provided including a polylactic acid polymer; second (e.g., polyvinyl acetate) polymer having a glass transition temperature (Tg) of at least 25° C.; and plasticizer. Also described are articles comprising the foam compositions, such as a sheet or hearing protection article. Methods of making and using the foam compositions are further described herein.

Abstract: A device capable of autonomous motion may process image data determined by one or more cameras to determine one or more properties of objects represented in the image data. The device may determine that two or more computer vision components correspond to a particular property. A first computer vision component may process the image data to determine first output data, and the second computer vision component may process the first output data to determine second output data corresponding to the property.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a dual-station vacuum processor that pumps uniformly, comprising two vacuum processing chambers that may act as a process processing chamber, and an offset-pumping port and a vacuum pump which are common to and communicate with the two vacuum processing chambers, wherein a damper having a set thickness in a vertical direction is provided in a region proximal to the offset-pumping port in each vacuum processing chamber, so as to lower a pumping rate of gas at the pumping port proximal end and balance the pumping rate with the pumping rate of the gas at the pumping port distal end, thereby ameliorating the impact of chamber offset on the uniformity process processing. The present invention may further provide, in a rib as the damper, a channel in communication with the atmospheric environment outside of the chamber, so as to facilitate connection between a cable pipeline in the chamber and the outside.
