Abstract: The present invention generally relates to systems and methods for imaging or determining nucleic acids, for instance, within cells. In some embodiments, the transcriptome of a cell may be determined. Certain embodiments are directed to determining nucleic acids, such as mRNA, within cells at relatively high resolutions. In some embodiments, a plurality of nucleic acid probes may be applied to a sample, and their binding within the sample determined, e.g., using fluorescence, to determine locations of the nucleic acid probes within the sample. In some embodiments, codewords may be based on the binding of the plurality of nucleic acid probes, and in some cases, the codewords may define an error-correcting code to reduce or prevent misidentification of the nucleic acids. In certain cases, a relatively large number of different targets may be identified using a relatively small number of labels, e.g., by using various combinatorial approaches.

Abstract: Provided is a method for determining whitening efficacy of a cosmetic raw material. In the disclosure, specific binding of melanocyte-stimulating hormone (?-MSH) to melanocortical receptor I (MC1R) on melanocytes activates adenylyl cyclase (AC). The AC could catalyze the conversion of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) into cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), causing an increased level of intracellular cAMP. Increased CAMP level activates tyrosinase through protein kinase A (PKA), thereby promoting melanin production, and then achieving the determination of a relative melanin content.

Abstract: A glass rear cover includes a light-transmitting region. The light-transmitting region at least partially overlaps with a camera assembly in a thickness direction of the glass rear cover. The light-transmitting region allows light out of the glass rear cover to pass through the light-transmitting region to enter the camera assembly. The glass rear cover includes a first predetermined region and a second predetermined region. The first predetermined region is configured close to the light-transmitting region, and a strength of the first predetermined region is less than a strength of the second predetermined region. Therefore, when the glass rear cover is stressed, an extension direction of the crack on the glass rear cover is turned at the first predetermined region without reaching the light-transmitting region, avoiding the impact on image capturing of the camera assembly.
