  • Publication number: 20140045220
    Abstract: A composition for a biosample treatment and method for nucleic acid amplification using the same are provided. The composition for biosample treatment includes at least one halocarbon, at least one polyether and at least one surfactant. The composition contains 1˜70% by weight of the halocarbon based on the total weight of the composition. Accordingly, a biosample can be lysed and homogenized in a single tube at one step. Furthermore, reagents for use in nucleic acid amplification can be directly added in the same tube for nucleic acid amplification at the next step. The process, operation periods and risks of contamination can be therefore reduced and a result of nucleic acid amplification with less background noises can be therefore obtained as well.

  • Publication number: 20120213272
    Abstract: In a method for adjusting video or audio quality of a video stream, a video stream request for requesting an original target video stream from a client is received. Then, information about a connection bandwidth of the client is obtained, and a step is performed for determining if the connection bandwidth of the client is sufficient for receiving the target video stream. When it is determined that the connection bandwidth of the client is insufficient, at least one video or audio parameter is selected according to the information about the connection bandwidth of the client to adjust and reduce the video or audio quality of the target video stream, and the quality-reduced target video stream is transmitted to the client. Information about connection bandwidth of the client is continually obtained for transmitting all of the target video stream to the client.
