This paper presents highly sensitive fluorescence detections of avidin and streptavidin using an optical interference mirror (OIM) slide consisting of a plane mirror covered with an optical interference layer. Compared with a common glass slide, the OIM slide can enhance the fluorescence from a dye by more than 100-fold. We fabricated an OIM slide by depositing an optical interference layer o...

Of 10,000 sera examined for infectious diseases by both the rapid slide agglutination and the tube agglutination tests, 128 were found positive for typhus fever and 257 for typhoid and paratyphoid infections. Of 84 of the last mentioned cases of typhoid and paratyphoid, which were confirmed by cultural examination, 45 (53.5%) were negative to the tube test, whereas only one (1.2%) was negative ...

1. Tabular data are the earliest form and remain a staple of official statistics data products. Familiar examples of tabular data products in official statistics include count data such as age-race-sex and other demographic data, concentration (or percentage) data such in financial or energy utilization statistics, and magnitude data such as total retail sales or air pollution data. Confidentia...

Indoor air quality (IAQ) is the problem that people increasingly pay attention to. With the development of Chinese railway undertaking, air-conditioned train is developing to the direction of higher speed and more comfortable. However, in China, people pay more attention to the temperature and the relative humidity in train compartments, but do not care for IAQ, so it leads to poor IAQ in train...
