A potentiometer device and a method for determining a number of closed DIP switches is provided, which belongs to the field of potentiometers. A DIP switch structure is connected in parallel with a potentiometer. The DIP switch structure at least includes a branch circuit formed by connecting one DIP switch and one resistor in series. Compared with a wire-wound potentiometer, a carbon film potentiometer, a straight slide potentiometer, and a rotary potentiometer, a design of a potentiometer controls whether a resistor is connected to a circuit by a DIP switch, can achieve a required voltage division ratio, high debugging speed, and high efficiency only by closing the switch, and there is no problem of slide wear, resistor body wear, or the like. In addition, the DIP switch has certain stability, a closing/opening state of the DIP switch will not be changed easily.

Provided is a method for reducing methane production in animal stomachs by adding melatonin to gastric juice of the animal or feeding the animal with melatonin. In the method of the present disclosure, 10-7 mol/L to 10-3 mol/L of melatonin can reduce the methane production from the in vitro gastric fermentation fluid, and feeding melatonin of 8.0 to 35.0 mg/kg/day can reduce the methane production from the animal respiration from day 7 of feeding melatonin. The method of the present disclosure can reduce greenhouse gas emissions of animals, control environmental pollution and realize low-carbon farming.

Provided are chemical inducers of pluripotency (CIP) which include glycogen synthase kinase inhibitors, TGFβ receptor inhibitors, cyclic AMP agonists and S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase (SAH) inhibitors or histone acetylators. A method of inducing pluripotency in a partially or completely differentiated cell by using such chemical inducers of pluripotency is also provided. The method includes: (i) contacting a cell with the CIPs for a sufficient period of time to result in reprograming the cell into a pluripotent stem cell having ESC-like characteristics (CiPSC). Isolated chemically induced pluripotent stem cells (CiPSCs) and their progeny, produced by inducing differentiation of the CiPSCs, can be used in a number of applications, including but not limited to cell therapy and tissue engineering.
