Novel method to fabricate highly selective sensors for different substances of interestThe research group "Electro catalysis and Electrochemistry of Polymers", Department of Physical Chemistry at the University of Alicante has developed a novel method that allows highly selective electrode manufacture biometrics to detect any biochemical substance of interest, food or environmental. The method is based on the electro assisted deposit of molecularly imprinted silica layers on different electrodes. This allows a fast and efficient detection of the molecule of interest, independently of the other interfering. In addition, allows the regeneration of the electrode in a very simple way and lets its usage almost indefinitely. Innovative aspects The biometrical electrode manufacturing method is based on a electro assisted method of molecularly imprinted silica layers on different electrodes. With this new procedure, we obtain uniform and consistent layers of silica that allow highly selective detection of any biochemical substance of interest, food or environmental when these electrodes are used as amperometric, voltammetric, impedimetric and potentiometric sensors. Main advantatges of the technology The main advantage of the electro assisted deposit respect to conventional methods of thin film deposition (spin-coating or dip-coating), lies in the control of consistency and porosity of the layers. Due to the prevention of uncontrolled pore formation, avoids the indiscriminate passage of species from the solution to the electrode surface, reducing the interference in the detection of the analyte of interest. It has a high specificity and affinity for the molecule of interest. High control on the deposition of silica when is done by electro assisted mode. The possibility of varying the thickness of the silica layer and layer morphology allows for a highly consistent and reproducible layer. Electro assisted deposit method is capable of "self-healing", i.e. prevents the formation of holes in the assisted layer that interfere with the detection of the molecule of interest. With continued use, the sensor loses its effectiveness by the collapse of the pores with the species to be determined. In this case, the regeneration process is very simple: just repeat the procedure for removing the template molecule to be performed after the gel layer (electrochemical extraction or cleaning solvents). Thus, the pores of the sensing phase are released for use again. - Universidad de AlicanteUniversidad de Alicante

Novel method to increase production and extraction of phytosterolsThe research group "Proteomics and functional genomics of plants of the University of Alicante has developed a new procedure that increases the production and extraction of phytosterols in plant cell cultures in vitro. To do this, is added to the culture medium cyclodextrins and optionally methyl jasmonate. After growing under certain conditions, phytosterols are obtained with yields higher than the current extraction techniques from the plant material. This method allows a stable production of phytosterols, independent of geographical, seasonal and environmental factors, with reduced spaces requirements and easier process of purification and industrial scaling. The group is looking for companies interested in acquiring the technology for commercial exploitation. Innovative aspects Nowadays, the classical method of extracting phytosterols from vegetable raw materials has a very low yield. This, combined with the large amount of plant material needed to extract a significant amount of phytosterols from global natural sources (only could be supplied 10% of Western populations), causes a high cost of these products. With this new process of in vitro plant cell culture, it is possible to increase production and efficiency of extraction of phytosterols from natural resources for a greater percentage of the population that could benefit from the positive effects of phytosterols on health.

Novel Model of Multi Stages Ducted Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines StructureInvestigate and design a new structure of ducted horizontal axis wind turbines ordered in a line with an integrated passive flow control mechanism to vortices generation behind ducted wind turbines and to achieve optimum performance in wind energy harvesting in regions with low wind speed. The ducted wind turbines in the proposed design can be a big additive to other renewable energy sources and can be an alternative to the less efficient common types of wind turbines since they are adaptable to environments and produce higher amounts of energy, which makes use of wind energy as a clean, practical, economical, and environmentally friendly available alternative. The diffuser-augmented wind turbine (DAWT) turbine is being looked at as a way to increase the production of wind energy in low wind speed regions. The proposed design will be a good solution as: 1. Producing a maximum possible limit of energy in regions with low wind speeds that consider one of the challenges that restrict spreading techniques generation of energy from wind in mentioned regions. 2-Work as a micro-compact wind farm, which can be suitable for installation in small areas; the common types of wind farms with horizontal axis wind turbines need a large area to be installed because of the wake phenomenon behind wind turbines. 3. The proposed model will be friendly to wildlife and birds, and it will operate with a minimum limit of noise. 4: A suitable solution to support energy systems in buildings, trains, long vehicles, and ships as a source for energy in remote areas, as renewable energy, and as a supporter for efforts to reduce the dependency on fossil fuel sources.

NOVEL SARS-CoV-2 VACCINE CANDIDATES WITH ENHANCED EFFICACY AND SAFETYCurrent vaccines to protect against SARS-CoV-2 rely on the immunogenicity conferred by the viral Spike protein, the main viral target against which the elicitation of neutralizing and protective antibodies is intended through vaccination. The Spike presents an extremely high affinity for the human ACE-2 (Angiotensin Converting Enzyme-2) receptor, which has been reported to be expressed in diverse layers of the organism, such as the epidermis, endothelium, muscle and sweat glands. Such a strong affinity between both proteins, the Spike and ACE-2, might lead to the retention of the immunogen and a suboptimal distribution to reach the lymph nodes, key for a robust immune response. Thus, we propose modifications in the SARS-CoV-2 Spike vaccine protein that reduces the affinity for ACE-2 while preserving key epitopes for elicitation of neutralizing antibodies. This technology lies in minimal modifications of the Spike protein sequences that reduce ACE-2 binding, leading to the aforementioned proposed advantages at the immunological level in this new vaccination strategy. To date, accurate biochemical experiments to show a reduced ACE-2 binding capacity for our vaccine candidates have been carried out to demonstrate the viability of the proposed solution, the results of which have been surprising in terms of confirming the initial hypothesis.

Novel solar photothermal system for seawater desalination and superheated steam generationThe conversion of light-to-heat for steam production is an emerging technology that can be used for several purposes such as seawater desalination, sterilization, hydrogen production and electricity generation. The performance of solar photothermal steam generation (SSG) depends basically on the generation of localized heat on the surface of photothermal materials that can intensify the yield of heated steam under plausible solar intensity. The present invention provides a novel protocol for the generation of superheated steam under low solar intensity by designing a simple and low-cost photothermal system. It is composed of hydrophilic water supply cellulose fibre tube with head coated with innovative clay modified activated carbon/CuO. Black materials are commonly used as photothermal. This special SSG configuration shows outstanding superheated steam which reaches up to 160.9°C under half sun, which has never been reported in non-pressurized mode.

Novel Synchronization Process for Multi-carrier or Single-carrier CommunicationsThe research group “Communications, Multirate Systems, and Biomedical Engineering” of the University of Alcala presents a novel synchronization procedure for multicarrier or single carrier systems for narrowband and broadband communications. This procedure allows a precise estimation of the symbol timing offset (STO), and a coarse estimation of carrier frequency offset (CFO). The procedure is based on the inclusion of symmetric extensions in the transmitted symbols for the synchronization, which makes it useful not only for communications systems based on the discrete Fourier transform, but also for transceivers based on the discrete cosine transform (DCT). Among its main applications are communications through single-mode optical fiber, powerline communications, wireless and wireline systems, and in general, all the techniques that use multicarrier and single carrier modulations. The group seeks companies from the telecommunications sector to sign technical cooperation agreements, commercial agreement with technical assistance and patent licensing agreements.
