Abstract: A method and a kit for detecting Mycobacterium tuberculosis are provided. The method includes a step of performing a nested qPCR assay to a specimen. The nested qPCR assay includes a first round of amplification using external primers and a second round of amplification using internal primers and a probe. The external primers have sequences of SEQ ID NOs. 1 and 2, and the internal primers and the probe have sequences of SEQ ID NOs. 3 to 5.

Abstract: A device includes a first channel layer, a second channel layer, a gate structure, a source/drain epitaxial structure, and a source/drain contact. The first channel layer and the second channel layer are arranged above the first channel layer in a spaced apart manner over a substrate. The gate structure surrounds the first and second channel layers. The source/drain epitaxial structure is connected to the first and second channel layers. The source/drain contact is connected to the source/drain epitaxial structure. The second channel layer is closer to the source/drain contact than the first channel layer is to the source/drain contact, and the first channel layer is thicker than the second channel layer.

Abstract: A method for generating and outputting a message is implemented using an electronic device the stores a computer program product and a text database. The text database includes a main message template, a template text that includes a placeholder, and a word group that includes a plurality of preset words for replacing the placeholder. The method includes: in response to receipt of a command for execution of the computer program product, displaying an editing interface including the main message template; in response to receipt of user operation of a selection of the main message template, displaying the template text; in response to receipt of user operation of a selection of one of the preset words via the user interface, generating an edited text by replacing the placeholder with the one of the preset words in the template text; and outputting the edited text as a message.

Abstract: An electronic device, such as a computer peripheral device, includes a comfortable holding-sheath. The holding-sheath has a sleeve portion that extends around the electronic device, and a holding portion graspable by a user to enable the user to more comfortably hold the device and facilitate its operation. The holding-sheath further has a protection portion extending therefrom so as to protect at least a button, switch, or connecting portion of the device from being contaminated.

Abstract: A support for a computer peripheral device has a first coupling portion arranged to couple to a second coupling portion of the computer peripheral device. The first coupling portion has a first magnetic pole, and the second coupling portion has a second magnetic pole. Therefore, the first and second magnetic pole can be strongly attracted each other so as to hold the peripheral device at a desired angular position, while still permitting the device to be pivoted to any other desired angular position.
