Abstract: This disclosure provides systems and methods for sample processing and data analysis. Sample processing may include nucleic acid sample processing and subsequent sequencing. Some or all of a nucleic acid sample may be sequenced to provide sequence information, which may be stored or otherwise maintained in an electronic storage location. The sequence information may be analyzed with the aid of a computer processor, and the analyzed sequence information may be stored in an electronic storage location that may include a pool or collection of sequence information and analyzed sequence information generated from the nucleic acid sample. Methods and systems of the present disclosure can be used, for example, for the analysis of a nucleic acid sample, for producing one or more libraries, and for producing biomedical reports. Methods and systems of the disclosure can aid in the diagnosis, monitoring, treatment, and prevention of one or more diseases and conditions.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method and a system for acquiring seismic data of a four-component ocean bottom node (OBN). The method is implemented by the system, comprising controlling installations of a plurality of ocean bottom submerged buoys and a plurality of four-component OBN seismic data acquisition instruments and sending positioning signals and timing signals to the plurality of ocean bottom submerged buoys through armored opto-electronic composite cables. The method also includes obtaining real-time and uninterrupted water temperature data, pressure data, density data, and salt saturation data along the armored opto-electronic composite cables from the ocean surface to locations of the plurality of ocean bottom submerged buoys, and calculating real-time and three-dimensional data of waters of a whole measurement work area through interpolation.

Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of Rhododendron plant named ‘Spring Mate’, characterized by its upright to broadly spreading and mounding plant habit; moderately vigorous growth habit and moderate growth rate; freely branching habit and dense and bushy appearance; dark green-colored leaves; freely flowering habit; ruffled semi-double flowers that are vivid reddish orange in color; and good garden performance and temperature tolerance.
