Abstract: A broad-spectrum disease resistance-related protein derived from wheat and related biomaterials and use thereof are provided. The protein is selected from the group consisting of A1) a protein with the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1; A2) a protein having more than 80% identity to, having a same function as the protein with the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, and obtained by substitutions and/or deletions and/or additions of amino acid residues thereof; and A3) a fusion protein with a same function obtained by joining a tag at N-terminus and/or C-terminus of A1) or A2). The TaCNGC5.1 overexpression lines showed significantly improved disease resistance, thus suggesting that TaCNGC5.1 may play an important role in breeding plants with improved resistance to stripe rust.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for using real-time Natural Language Processing (NLP) to extract key phrases from text associated with actions being taken by an attendee of a live event. Using that key phrase data, the system can build a weighted collection of key phrases associated with contacts, attendees, sessions, and/or other areas of interest, and provide suggestions to the user/attendee regarding who to meet, what sessions to attend, what exhibitors to visit, etc.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable media of providing a predicted rate based on information about the property, the customer, and the amenities that a supplier has proposed. The rate may be based on many factors that can be extracted or derived from the historical bid data, including, but not limited to: location and market tier of the property, length of relationship with the channel (which may be an account or customer), the included amenities, the cancellation policy, the size of the account's or channel's event, the season of the booking, the proximity of the channel's offices of the account or channel to the property. Increased confidence that a customer is getting a fair rate facilitates negotiations between contracting parties.

Abstract: Disclosed is a drying-wetting separated filling method and a filling apparatus for an electrowetting display device. The filling method comprises filling a non-polar solution into pixel grids on a lower substrate of an electrowetting display device in air, and filling a polar solution to immediately cover the non-polar solution filled after filling the non-polar solution into the pixel grids. Compared with filling the non-polar solution into the polar solution, directly filling the non-polar solution in air has better filling uniformity, easier operation and control. With the method, the fillings of the polar solution and the non-polar solution are easy, having a higher filling efficiency, and no air bubble residue.

Abstract: The present invention discloses an integrated broadband chaotic semiconductor laser using optical microcavities. The arc-shaped hexagonal laser outputs light. Part of the light is totally reflected through the deformed microcavity and then reflected out of the deformed microcavity from the passive waveguide II; after entering the passive feedback waveguide, another part of the light is fed back into the deformed microcavity by the high reflection film, passes through an in-cavity ray track and then is also reflected out of the deformed microcavity from the passive waveguide II; the two-path light is coupled into the arc-shaped hexagonal laser, and finally generated chaotic laser light is directionally coupled and output through the passive waveguide I at the other end of the arc-shaped hexagonal laser. The present invention has wide broadband, flat spectrum, compact structure, and no time delay signature.
