Process for the photocatalytic oxidation of alkanes and aromatic hydrocarbonsWe propose a technology that allows the conversion of alkanes, alkyl fragments and alkenes to alcohols using only water, oxygen/air, ultraviolet light, and a recoverable metal catalyst (Bor-Cat). The process is performed in a single step, with a high production efficiency of between 90 to 99%, which is much higher than current techniques. The dimensions and uses of the photoreactor can be adapted to specific demands, particularly in the environmental, energy, and industrial synthesis sectors.

Process for the purification of xylooligosaccharidesProcess for the purification of xylooligosaccharides based on the use of diafiltration. The present invention, entitled "process for the purification of xylooligosaccharides based on the use of diafiltration", claims a process applicable to the purification of xylooligosaccharides obtained by hydrolytic degradation (chemically and/or enzymatically) of the hemicellulosic fraction of plant biomass in aqueous medium. The hydrolysis liquors contain xylooligosaccharides together with other unwanted components, which must be eliminated to allow the use of xylooligosaccharides for food purposes. This objective is achieved through diafiltration (possibly, in combination with other physical-chemical operations that are described in the text of the application). The use of fractions containing purified xylooligosaccharides as food ingredients with prebiotic properties, applicable in human nutrition and animal feed, is claimed.Dr. Thomas Kallimopoulos posted this:

Process to prepare amine-functionalized cellulose nanocrystals for applications such as an antimicrobial agent or catalystThis technology relates to a process for preparing coated cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs). These new CNC hybrid nanomaterials are useful for conjugation and electrostatic complexation with various functional moieties such as free metal ions, carboxylic acids, and epoxy and aldehyde derivatives. This technology also relates to a method to fabricate N-doped carbon nanomaterial from the coated CNCs. The production of stable nanotemplates using green solvents are challenging, and this technology offers an environmentally process to produce these useful nanomaterials. Waterloo researchers developed a green approach to produce coated cellulose nanomaterials in aqueous medium, and this process is readily scalable. As an example, CNC’s were coated with polydopamine (PD) and thereafter metallic silver (Ag) was reduced on the surface of the CNC-PD scaffold to produce a hybrid Ag-CNC-PD nanoparticle for use as an antibacterial coating material. The dispersion stability of this hybrid nanoparticle was significantly enhanced by the CNC, which in turn resulted in more than fourfold increase in antibacterial activity based on antibacterial studies using Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis.

Processor SoftwareAn arithmetic formula is discovered that can be used to reduce logic to arithmetic. The formula enables a logic algorithm to be reduced to an arithmetic algorithm without the use of logical trees, thereby converting a logical operation to an arithmetic operation. Therefore, it is possible to develop software that functions similar to a real processor.

Production of D-panose through an innovative microbial fermentation processD-panose (α-D-Glucopyranosyl-(1->6)-α-D-glucopyranosyl-(1->4)-D-glucose) is a high value tri-saccharide molecule that has been proposed as a low caloric content sugar (i), as a promoter for probiotics (ii) and having outstanding anti-oxidant. anti-tumoral properties (iii). Currently this rare sugar is obtained by chemical synthesis, and this is the reason for its extremely high cost/ price (1) and poor industrial uses (2). At Biochemize SL we have developed a (very simple) production process that leads the production of high pure (more than 99%) D-panose, through a microbial fermentation process using a recombinant bacteria strain engineered by us, at a significantly lower operational/production cost. We offer this process to be operated by/ be licensed to a manufacturing company operating in this area.

Project: Innovative pilot production modified compounds by PE125 standard for multifunctional applications.Producing PE125 using GRAFTALEN™ MP-UHHD. Consumer properties, which should be taken into consideration: 1) The unique toughness of the material (the highest rate of all known polymers), namely, Over 160 kJ/m2 2) High abrasion resistance 3) Low friction coefficient (self-lubricating) 4) High resistance to chemically aggressive reagents (media) 5) High creep resistance (geometric stability) Ordinary way - This type of process is quite expensive. Production of PE125, in compounding with bimodal PE100, from 8 to 45% of supermolecular polyethylene is injected, reaching dispersion by multiple compounding (4 stages) in an extruder cascade (XXXXX technology). GRAFTALEN™ MP-UHHD (alloy) is a MELT-PROCESSABLE concentrate of UHMWPE on an HDPE matrix. As HDPE, you can choose the most affordable HDPE (pipe) grade. To obtain polyethylene according to the standards PE125 (with a minimum strength indicator MRS> 13.8-14 MPa, in comparison PE100 has MRS only 10 MPa), a significant improvement in the resistance against hydrostatic pressure is required. For a conventional bimodal HDPE, this indicator is difficult to achieve, since it directly correlates with the impact strength/density indicators and with simple extrapolation, it turns out that the required indicator for PE125 simply does not reach the bimodal HDPE matrix. Another problem - the difficulty in maintaining the geometric stability of the pipe (the thickness at the top of the pipe is often less than at the bottom) due to the sagging effect (the phenomenon of the gravitational flow of a polymer melt). This phenomenon is more pronounced for thick-walled pipes. The specific blend of HDPE with UHMWPE allows solving these problems above.

Prosody Based Speech AnalysisA major part of human communication is conveyed through intonation, or prosody – the music of speech. It is the least conscious, most instinctive activity of speech conveying all non-verbal linguistic information including sentiment, emphasis, conversation action and a large variety of signals: whether we are happy, irritated or even truthful can be detected through the way in which we utter the words. Remarkably, this aspect of communication has not yet been analyzed in a comprehensive, quantitative manner. A group of researchers from the Weizmann Institute of Science has created a model for analyzing prosodic patterns that enables access to non-verbal communication in speech, based on computational analysis of intonation-unit modulation. The model relies on a segmentation method that adds a compact layer of basic algorithmic analysis within a speech recognition engine, adding very little computational load. This provides the basis for universally describing prosody and grants access to non-verbal information in speech.

Protein Based Treatment for Duchene Muscular Dystrophy and CancerDuchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a disease that affects approximately 1 in 3,500 boys with a life expectancy of ~26 years. Newly approved FDA treatments are designed to treat specific mutations that account for only 25% of the patients, leaving an unmet need for an effective treatment for the clinical pathologies of the disease. Many of these pathologies are caused by dysregulation of the extracellular matrix (ECM). The lab of prof. Irit Sagi has developed an antibody-like inhibitor for a key ECM remodeling enzyme. This inhibitor is specific, stable and was proved beneficial in a DMD mouse model.

Protein coupling using cystein-free inteinsTraceless covalent modification of proteins, including joining peptides or adding chemical groups, is extremely useful for numerous applications in chemical biology, protein chemistry, and biotechnology. A powerful tool currently used rely on Inteins, protein domains that auto-catalyze peptide bond formation. However, since inteins contain cysteine in their catalytic site, the reaction can only be made under reducing conditions, thus limiting the scope of proteins that can be modified. Prof. Pietrokovski and his collaborators at the University of Münster developed cysteine-less inteins that efficiently modify proteins under native and physiological conditions. They demonstrated their use with a full-length IgG antibody, an Fc fragment of an IgG, and nanobodies.
