The small-diameter high-speed submersible permanent magnet synchronous motor (SHS-PMSM) is essential equipment for rodless oil and gas extraction in slimhole wells and high-water content oil wells. The SHS-PMSM typically operates for extended periods of time underground in high temperatures. Because of its compact size, the heat is difficult to dissipate, which increases the risk of motor overheating and damage.

The importance of ovarian cortical cryopreservation in fertility preservation is receiving increasing attention from reproductive specialists, and mitochondrial dysfunction is an important cause of reduced ovarian tissue cryopreservation. Elamipretide (SS-31) is a novel mitochondria-targeted antioxidant. However, whether it has a protective effect on mouse ovarian tissue cryopreservation remains to be studied.

As a novel mitochondria-targeted antioxidant, Mito-tempo has been used for sperm cryopreservation. However, it is currently unknown what role it will play in the process of sperm ultra-rapid freezing.

A new label-free photoelectrochemical (PEC) immunosensor on the basis of BiWO/BiOBr nanocomposite materials has been successfully prepared for the test of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in human serum in this work. The AgS-sensitized BiWO/BiOBr heterojunction was used as a photosensitive material, which effectively improved the photocurrent response.

A single wavelength colorimetric microplate-based assay was developed using non-cytotoxic dye resazurin for the estimation of viable cell concentrations of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) and hybridoma cells. Experimental results showed variations in pH and temperature caused by cell cultivation and assay operations were well tolerated. Cell concentrations can be effectively determined in the range of 10(5)-10(7) cells ml(-1) using a microplate reader at the wavelength of 605 nm.

First of all, a strong growth-associated pattern was correlated between the production of MAb and growth of cells through the kinetic studies of batch cultures, suggesting the potential effectiveness of extending the duration of exponential growth in the improvement of MAb titers. Second, compositions of amino acids in the feeding solution were balanced stepwisely according to their stoichiometrical correlations with glucose uptake in batch and fed-batch cultures.
