Abstract: The present disclosure provides adaptive cascaded equalization circuits for frequency spectrum compensation. The cascaded equalization are formed in circuit configurations to achieve configurable roll-up frequency responses to compensate for the loss of signal channels in the wire-line or optical communications, particularly but not exclusively, for the loss of signal trace in the wire-line communications, and photodetectors used in the optical communications. These cascaded equalization circuits include two or more stages of equalizers. The peaking frequencies of each stage are set to be different from each other, so that the overall frequency response characteristic has a unique frequency response with a roll-up slope. The equalization function is automatically tuned by an adaptive feedback control loop.

Abstract: The invention relates to the usage of Exocyst complex component or Sec3 or its homolog as a molecular marker for monitoring an exogenous molecule like nucleic acid in transit and optimizing the delivery of the exogenous molecule to a cell. Delivery of the molecule is monitored by detecting expression of an Exocyst complex component or Sec3 or its homolog in said cell, wherein the expression of the Exocyst complex component or Sec 3 or its homolog indicates that the cell is competent to receive the exogenous molecule. The invention may be used (a) to determine the efficiency of delivery; (b) to control the copy number of DNA delivery; (c) to identify the cells transformed with an exogenous DNA; (d) to identify molecular markers associated with transformation competency of a cell; (e) identifying, characterizing and producing cells competent to receive exogenous nucleic acid.

Abstract: This invention relates to methods and kits for determining the level of H2O2 inside a cell, and for determining whether a test compound has ability to scavenge a reactive oxygen species (ROS). The methods and diagnostic kits of this invention employ a cell containing a promoter which is inducible by an ROS, such as the H2O2-inducible KatA promoter of Agrobacterium tumefacines; the promoter is used to drive expression of a reporter gene. The expression level of the reporter gene correlates with the level of ROS, specifically H2O2, inside the cell. When the cell is exposed to a test compound, either intra-cellularly or extra-cellularly, if the level of ROS-inducible expression of the reporter is reduced, then this indicates that the test compound is a scavenger of the ROS.
