A method and system of authenticating a computer resource such as an application or data on a mobile device uses a contactless token to provide multi-factor user authentication. User credentials are stored on the token in the form of private keys, and encrypted data and passwords are stored on the device. When an application user requires access to the resource an encrypted password is transmitted to and decrypted on the token using a stored key. An unencrypted data encryption key or password is then transmitted back to the device under the protection of a cryptographic session key which is generated as a result of strong mutual authentication between the device and the token.

The present invention relates to recombinant fragments of C. difficile TcdA and TcdB that may be used in the development of vaccines against C. difficile associated disease. More particularly it relates to combinations comprising a ToxB-GT antigen and a TcdA antigen or a ToxA-GT antigen and a TcdB antigen.

The invention relates to application of a micromolecular heat shock protein gene improving stress resistance of oryza sativa. The gene improving various stress resistances of oryza sativa is Oryza sativa Heat Shock Protein18 (OsHSP18), with the nucleotide sequence being shown in SEQ ID NO:1 in a sequence table. The full-length coding sequence of the gene in SEQ ID NO:1 is inserted into a eukaryotic vector to obtain a eukaryotic recombinant plasmid over-expressed by the gene OsHSP18, and the eukaryotic recombinant plasmid is transformed into oryza sativa to obtain a transgenic plant over-expressed by the OsHSP18. Experiments show that the expression level of the gene OsHSP18 is obviously raised when oryza sativa is subjected to heat, drought, salt and low temperature stress, and the transgenic oryza sativa over-expressed by the OsHSP18 can enhance the resistance of the plant to various adversities (high temperature, drought, salt and cold damages) and does not have obvious impacts on agronomic traits such as plant height, tillering and the like. Thus, the gene can be applied to improvement of stress resistance of crops.

The invention belongs to the field of gene engineering, and relates to an improved promoter, a vector formed by the improved promoter and application of the improved promoter. The improved promoter isused for mutating nucleotide sequences from a -35 area to a -10 area in a promoter region into recognition sites of endonuclease. The improved promoter can be used for solving the problem that the cloning cannot be achieved, which is caused as a transcription or a translation product of an exogenous gene, which is promoted by a strong promoter existing in a vector adopting blue and white screening, possibly has toxicity to a host, can be used for avoiding the defect that the vector loses 1bp to 2bp at an enzyme digestion site to cause the frame shift mutation of a gene to generate false positive cloning, and can be used for eliminating the false negative phenomenon that a plate all has locus ceruleus, which is caused as an extraneous DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) fragment is smaller and moreover a reading frame of the gene is not changed by the insertion of extraneous DNA.
