Abstract: Systems and methods for Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) auto-sequential scanning with expansion multiplexer(s) and auxiliary circuit configuration control(s). In some embodiments, an electronic circuit may include: a multiplexer; an Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) coupled to the multiplexer; and a control circuit coupled to the ADC and to the multiplexer, where the control circuit is configured to, as part of an auto-sequential scan, select one of a plurality of input channels coupled to the multiplexer via an expansion multiplexer.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to methods for characterizing proteins in a sample using native capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry. The present invention pertains to methods for detecting and/or discriminating between post-translational modification variants of an antibody of interest in a sample, detecting and/or discriminating between antibodies in an antibody mixture, and characterizing monospecific antibody side products in a bispecific antibody sample.

Abstract: An application of farnesene in preparing a plant-derived urease inhibitor is provided. The compound can effectively inhibit activities of Canavalia ensiformis urease and soil urease, and has an effect that is equivalent to that of commercial urease inhibitor acetohydroxamic acid. The urease inhibitor in the present disclosure, derived from plants, has “pollution-free” characteristics of natural products, high biological safety, simple and stable chemical structure and remarkable urease inhibition effect, can solve the problems of conventional chemically-synthesized urease inhibitor such as high toxicity, easy degradation and poor stability, also provides a new concept for creating a biological ecological technology for efficiently inhibiting the rapid hydrolysis of urea in farmland and increasing the utilization rate of urea nitrogen fertilizer, and has good application value and development prospect.

Abstract: Methods for identifying viral protein constituents and quantifying the relative abundance of such viral protein constituents in a sample of viral particles are disclosed. In embodiments, the methods include first-dimension chromatography to separate intact viral capsid components of the sample, online denaturation of the viral capsid components to produce intact viral proteins, second-dimension chromatography to separate the viral proteins, and mass spectrometry to determine the masses of the viral proteins and identify the viral protein constituents of the sample.

Abstract: Disclosed are a coating liquid of a lithium ion battery separator, a lithium ion battery separator, and a lithium ion battery. The raw materials of the coating liquid include a nanowire, ceramic powder, an adhesive, and a solvent; the nanowire is at least one of nano cellulose, carbon nanotube, silver nanowire, boron carbide nanowire, copper hydroxide nanowire, aramid nano fiber, silicon monoxide nanowire, and hydroxyapatite nanowire; the diameter of the nanowire is 1-100 nm, and the length is 0.1-100 ?m.
