A new, effective method for obtaining common ash cuttings The subjest of this offer is a technology for obtaining common ash seedlings by indirect adventitious organogenesis. This method omits the stage of forming and development of the somatic embryo, and thus significantly reduces the number of passages and expensive components of culture media. Plant regeneration occurs directly from callus tissue, which results not only in lower costs of seedling production but also, what is very important, improved genetic stability compared with micro-propagation by the method of somatic embryogenesis. Besides, the developed method allows obtaining calluses with selected genotypes, e.g. resistant to negative abiotic or biotic factors (including pathogenic fungi). The obtained seedlings have genotypes identical to the callus genotype and therefore are also resistant to harmful biotic and abiotic environmental conditions.

Automatic feature descriptor in agriculture images using neural networks Software that recognizes user-defined objects in aerial images for agriculture and derives quantitative estimators for plant count (N), green area index (GAI), growth stage (GS), deficient leaf area fraction (DLAF), and weeds area fraction (WAF), and potentially further measures. It employs a pre-trained multi-layer neural network model to classify regions of an image. The network is trained based on good examples of distinct types of objects that are provided by experts in aerial photography for agriculture. Afterwards, any provided aerial image or video can be analyzed with the pretrained software trained once.

High-precision environmental monitoring UAV-mobile system Novosibirsk State University has developed a UAV-mobile complex for high-precision environmental monitoring. Due to the use of a high-frequency magnetometer, highly sensitive gamma-ray spectrometer, gas analyzer, as well as special software for data processing, the costs of environmental monitoring are reduced significantly, often by more than 3-5 times. The University seeks partners for scientific cooperation and service agreements

Potyvirus viral detection kit CSIC and the Universitat Politècnica de València have developed a method for the detection and quantification of all species of the viral genus Potyvirus present in plant samples. The different species of the genus Potyvirus cause losses of up to 90% of production in crops of high economic interest, such as potato, maize or sugar cane. So far, the only way to identify that the crop was being attacked by a virus of the genus Potyvirus was to make specific detections for each species of the genus. With this new system it is possible to determine if in the samples coming from a culture there is presence of one of the 148 known species of the genus Potyvirus or of some unknown variant of these species. Companies in the agro-food sector interested in incorporating this kit for viral detection are being sought. An offer for Patent Licensing

Effective method for plant wound healing CSIC and the Center for Research in Agricultural Genomics have developed an effective method for plant tissue regeneration that involves the use of a bacterial cellulose-based biopolymer. The application of this material directly in plant wounds enhances the formation of new cells layers which boosts the healing processes. Industrial partners are being sought to exploit the existing know-how through a patent license agreement. An offer for Patent Licensing

Formulation of dry scrubber with 80% H2S absorption capacity The formulation has been repeatedly tested in a laboratory, yielding an absorption capacity of > 80 g H2S/100 g product (using ASTM D6646). I am looking to find a company in the gas/air phase treatment industry that is keen on taking this product to the market. Given its superior absorption capacity, the operational costs are significantly lower than its competitors. Please contact me to further discuss.

System for fixing armours during concreting The research group “Materials and Construction Systems for Buildings”, from the Building and Urbanism Department of the University of Alicante, has developed a new and simple system that allows to fix any type of armours in concrete construction elements during the concreting process. This system avoids the movement of the armours in an efficient, technical and reusable way, and, therefore, also avoids future expensive treatments in case of unwanted movements. This new system is characterized by its low cost, light weight, ease of use and versatility for any constructive element. The research group is looking for companies interested in commercial exploitation.

Device for taking pictures of the treetops Researchers at the University of Alcalá present a novel device that allows non-destructive sampling of treetops from the ground to quantify the damage caused by biotic agents (pests) and abiotic (storms, hail, torrential rains) or to control production of fruits, without the need for artificial means of elevating the operator, reducing the risk to the observer and to the health of the tree itself. The research group seeks to achieve commercial or licensing agreements with companies in the forestry sector (wood, cork, ...), agriculture sector or agricultural insurers.

Innovative method for extraction of triterpenic acids It is a process that, with a simple set of unitary operations, allows to get extracts with high triterpenic acids contents , from crude extracts of eucalyptus bark. This process can be easily integrated with existing pulp production, allowing even the subsequent exploitation of bark for energy production.

iSeal: Advanced Surface Treatment for Protection against Tribocorrosion This invention is based on the application of a hybrid organic/inorganic treatment onto an exposed surface – either as a stand-alone treatment or as a sealant. The treatment is applied using an electrochemical deposition technique, allowing for the development of conformal coatings, irrespective of design complexity. Layer thicknesses are low (10-100nm) but resistance in corrosive marine environments indicate corrosion rates comparable to technologies currently employed by the aerospace and automotive industries. Corrosion rates are reduced by between 103 and 105 times, dependant on the nature of the porous coating. Tests on metallic coatings indicated a reduction in corrosion rates of approximately 103-104 while tests on ceramic coatings indicated a reduction in corrosion rates of approximately 105. By applying the hybrid treatment as a sealant treatment onto a porous wear resistant coating, concerns regarding the effect of mechanical damage are dramatically reduced. In addition, surface roughness levels are similar to electropolished finishes.

FORESTS FIRES INNOVATIVE SYSTEM EXTINCTION The developed system consists of foamed, flame retardant and biodegradable spheres that would help to put out the fires efficiently and at a distance, so that firefighters and other personnel who act to extinguish the forest fire would not live so much risk. The capsules can extinguish the fire or prevent it to advance almost instantaneously.

Sustainable mulching of liquid application for weed control in perennial crops.A sustainable mulch has been developed and validated that improves the existing mulches being free of environmentally harmful substances. This mulch is based on the blends of agricultural by-products and paper slurry and is applied in pasty conditions on the soil thus creating a sheet of the desired thickness on the soil. Weed control is high when the sheet dries out rapidly. At present, work is focused on designing a machine prototype to be able to apply the blends on the soil in a mechanized way.
