Novel biomass converter for smart agriculture with adaptation of the technology to the Southern Europe through Italian-Russian partnershipRussian engineering company has developed and patented a novel biomass converter for processing biomass and carbon containing wastes with generation of heat, energy carriers and fertilizers. The technology uses filtration combustion with superadiabatic heating and processing of materials in fluidized bed. The biomass converter can be used to process different carbon containing materials of natural and technological origin (e.g., wooden chips, wood processing wastes, agricultural wastes, textile production wastes, packaging, paper-making, cellulose, municipal wastes, etc.). The company field-tested the technology by processing very complex wastes such as poultry droppings (including wastes from broiler chickens raised in cage chicken houses), cattle manure, straw, wastes from seed oil production, wastes coal from refining. The biomass converter can produce heat, biocoal, and ash. This means that the companies using this technology can earn revenue from processing wastes, generating power stored in biocoal as well as from production of mineral fertilizers in the form of ash. There are different designs of a biomass converter depending on the type of wastes to be processed. The partnership may be developed within the project that in its own turn is dedicated to adaptation to the South European sources of biomass and streams of carbon containing wastes of an innovation equipment and method developed and patented by the Russian partner. The project will involve identification of biomass sources in the Southern Europe, primarily Italy by the conditions in which biomass is produced, by kinds of wastes, amounts of wastes, location of sources of wastes, location of consumers of biocoal and fertilizers and other factors. The project will result in a newly designed biomass converters each of which can be installed as nodes into a distributed network of alternative energy sources based on biomass. The equipment will have high potential for commercialization in Southern Europe and Russia. Pilot processing station will be built for demonstration and further commercialization in Italy.

Novel coaxial tunable bandpass filterBackground Tunable bandpass filter is one of the vital components of frequency reconfigurable (or frequency agile) wireless systems which facilitate effective utilization of allotted frequency spectrum. Frequency reconfigurable wireless systems can be a cost effective solution for wireless base-stations as well as for satellite & aero-space applications. In satellite application, on orbit flexible payload (or programmable payload) is one such encouraging development on the horizon. These systems inevitably require high Q (Quality factor) tunable bandpass filters with a constant absolute bandwidth over the tuning range. One of the important requirements for tunable filters in most applications is to maintain constant absolute bandwidth over the tuning range. The data rate is bandwidth dependent thus maintaining the same data rate over the tuning range requires maintaining the same bandwidth. In addition, most of communication system applications require maintaining certain isolation requirements outside the band, which cannot be satisfied if the bandwidth is changed. Thus, by maintaining a constant bandwidth over the tuning range, the achievable data rate and the filter isolation requirements remain the same over the entire tuning range, which is highly desirable.

Novel Combination Therapy For Improved Management of DepressionPsychiatric disorders, especially major depressive disorder (MDD), are leading causes of disability and premature death across the globe, with patients showing a heightened risk of self-harm and suicidal ideation. Prof. Alon Chen and his team found that the sustained antidepressant effects of Ketamine, an approved drug indicated for treatmentresistant depression, are mediated by the upregulation of the Kcnq2 gene. The team found that combination therapy comprised of Ketamine and retigabine, an approved KCNQ agonist, boosted the anti-depressive effects of Ketamine in mice. Therefore, the novel combination treatment of two approved drugs, Ketamine and retigabine, may improve current treatment protocols for psychiatric disorders, including depressive disorders MDD.

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.
