Abstract: A method and system for exchanging data between one or more RFID readers and one or more non-tag devices in an RFID system using RFID air interface protocol. An RFID system includes one or more non-tag devices in data communication with one or more RFID readers over an interrogation zone. Non-tag devices utilize RFID air interface protocol to transmit and receive wireless data signals to and from the RFID readers, obviating the need to implement a separate communication infrastructure. The RFID readers may forward the data to an RFID backscatter enabled host computer for processing the received signals. Non-tag devices acting as readpoints communicate with other non-tag devices to establish a parent/child readpoint hierarchy. One or more multiplexers may facilitate the data exchange between RFID readers and the non-tag devices in order to provide an even more robust communication network.

Abstract: In this study, pork-specific real-time PCR assay is developed for Halal authentication. Three species of meat samples are employed, which were pork, beef and chicken. The se three type of poultry meat are among the commonly consumed meat in Malaysia and are easily available in the market. DNA from each raw meat sample was successfully extracted using DNeasy.RTM. Blood & Tissue Kit (Qiagen,Hilden,Germany). Concentration of DNA extracted is estimated by UV absorption spectrophotometry using the Biophotometer (Eppendorf AG,Hamburg,Germany) prior to real-time PCR reaction. The annealing temperature for the primers i s at 58.degree.C. To verify the specificity of primers designed, reaction is carried out to test the primers against the other two meat samples to detect possible cross-reactions. The reaction only amplified pork DNA at Ct~22.83. The real-time PC assay described in this paper proved to be very sensitive with a low detection limit when samples were tested. The assay is done by preparing a 1 0- fold dilution series starting from 100 ng DNA were used to determine the sensitivity of th e reaction. The sensitivity threshold was up to 0.001 ng pork DNA. It has been reported that a detection limit of 0.1 ng pork DNA using conventional PCR. In this context, the method would be useful in the detection of porcine DNA in food products.

Abstract: Wallboards, as well as other building materials, are produced by methods which use significantly reduced embodied energy, generating far less greenhouse gases when compared with the energy used to fabricate gypsum wallboard. A novel cementitious core, consisting in one embodiment of post-industrial waste such as slag and combined with pH modifiers, provides a controlled exothermic reaction to create a gypsum- wallboard-like core which can be wrapped in a selected material such as recycled paper and manufactured on a conveyor system to appear, weigh and handle similar to gypsum wallboard, but without the large amounts of energy required to make gypsum wallboard. The manufacturing process results in lower greenhouse gas emissions than the processes used to make gypsum wallboard.
