Preferably, a second annular shield is arranged in front of the first shield with the interposition of an annular seal; wherein the sleeve portion of the first shield is delimited by a conic-truncated lateral mounting surface having a tapering facing so as to have a greater diameter arranged on the side of the flange portion and intended to couple in use with a mounting seat of the rotating member formed by a shallow recess delimited by a conic-truncated bottom wall having the same tapering as the lateral mounting surface and by an axial shoulder which is arranged on the side opposite to the flange portion.

The invention discloses a method for improving growth and drought-resistant ability of wheat by using arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi to bring the reciprocal symbiosis relation between AM fungi and host plants under drought stress into play reasonably and efficiently. According to the method, the AM fungi having a close symbiotic relation with the wheat are selectively used, and the symbiotic relation between the AM fungi and the wheat is built in a condition control mode to promote the wheat growth and improve drought adaptability. The AM fungi comprise one of glomus monosporum and acaulospora laevis, the two kinds of AM fungi are respectively propagated in an expanding mode in an expanding propagation matrix by using red clovers, and then two AM fungi inoculants and the wheat are cultured together in a symbiotic culture medium. The effective path for profitable symbiosis of the AM fungi and the host plants in adversity conditions is provided, the infection and symbiosis relation with the host plants of the AM fungi is improved in a man-made mode, and the yield of dry crops is improved.

A surface acoustic wave (SAW) performs a rapid, label-free detection of biological species. Biosensing and detection of multiple analytes multiplexed by an array of sensing lanes is configured to enable bio-amplification using engineered DNA encoded libraries as the probe through a phage display procedure to enhance specificity, capture statistics for the detection, screening and analyzing of the analyte in vitro. A biochemical formulation minimizes the limit of detection (LOD) at a threshold magnitude on the order of a femtomolar concentration. Additional enhancement of the apparatus is achieved by use of an analog front end to amplify biochemical events.
