Abstract: In one example aspect, the present disclosure is directed to a device. The device includes an active region on a semiconductor substrate. The active region extends along a first direction. The device also includes a gate structure on the active region. The gate structure extends along a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction. Moreover, the gate structure engages with a channel on the active region. The device further includes a source/drain feature on the active region and connected to the channel. A projection of the source/drain feature onto the semiconductor substrate resembles a hexagon.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method for converting mobile allocation and an upper control node of a base station. The method for converting mobile allocation includes: determining that at least one cell in cells controlled by an upper control node of a base station requires mobile allocation (MA) conversion; and instructing a base station to which the at least one cell belongs to convert, according to a time slot cluster, an MA occupied by a time slot of the at least one cell, where the time slot cluster is formed by the same time slots on different carrier frequencies. The embodiments of the invention may implement dynamic MA conversion according to actual conditions of a network, thereby guaranteeing the performance of the network, and improving the calling experience of users.

Abstract: Method for controlling insect pests, pathogenic diseases, and pathogenic nematodes comprising the step of concurrent administration to the locus of an effective amount of iodized lipids or iodine complexes was disclosed.

Abstract: A composition and method for controlling diseases and pests on plants is provided. Specifically, the composition provides that polar glycerides selected from the group comprising monoglycerides, diglycerides, phospholipids, lysophospholipids, glycolipids, lysoglycolipids, or their derivatives control certain diseases or insect pests on plants.

Abstract: A composition and method for early bloom thinning of fruit trees and controlling cracking, wherein the composition provides that glyceride type of lipids are effective compounds for bloom thinning of fruit trees and controlling cracking of fruits and the method comprises making an aqueous emulsion with these lipids as active ingredients and spraying the emulsion on fruit trees at appropriate phenophases for blossom thinning or fruit cracking control. The composition further provides that copper compounds act as blossom thinning agents but cause phytotoxicity to trees and a mixture of the said lipid emulsion and copper compounds displays higher thinning effect than each applied alone and does not cause phytotoxicity to trees.
