The ALA apparatus includes a main body having a plurality of edges, one or more light sources, a light blocking layer and a controller. The light source is mounted on at least one edge of the ALA apparatus. The main body comprises at least one light guide plate. The light blocking layer is disposed over a surface of the main body. The controller is coupled to the light source and the light blocking layer. The ALA apparatus further comprises at least one sensor coupled to the controller. The controller controls the light characteristics of the light source and/or the light blockage levels of the light blocking layer to adjust ambient light characteristics, according to a sensed result by the sensor or sensors.

Abstract: A method of regulating gene expression in eukaryote includes administrating a ligand-sensing RNA element to regulate the formation of regulatory hairpin upstream of programmed ribosomal frameshifting (PRF) site. Further, a method of regulating ribosome frameshifting efficiency in the protein translation of a eukaryotic cell includes contacting the eukaryotic cell with a molecule to control the upstream programmed ribosomal frameshifting (PRF) regulatory duplex element formation, which does not involve messenger RNA degradation by RNase H or RNAi.

Abstract: A method of preparing an organic-inorganic hybrid material is described. A M(OR)x and an organically modified Si-alkoxide having a predetermined functional group are dissolved in a first solvent and a second solvent to form a first solution and a second solution, respectively. The first solution and the second solution are then mixed and heated. As a result, the M(OR)x reacts with the organically modified Si-alkoxide to form a functionalized organic-inorganic hybrid material. Furthermore, the solid content of the functionalized organic-inorganic hybrid material is increased by transferring the same into another solvent. Therefore, a thick hybrid film is fabricated by means of the transferred functionalized organic-inorganic hybrid material.
