We propose a system that predicts bacterial diseases in stone fruit trees and almond trees. The solution developed by SUMACROP integrates the use of defensive elicitor peptides (Pep1 and Pep2) with the XapCAST predictive system, which identifies the optimal timing for treatment application, maximizi[…]

The accumulation of carbon dioxide (CO₂) in indoor spaces without adequate ventilation can exceed standard maximum thresholds by up to six times and trigger health problems. To address this, the LEQUIA research group proposes an efficient, low-cost and modular system, easily integrable with current […]

Air pollution represents a significant public health problem, but the uneven distribution of meteorological stations and the omission of the spatio-temporal dependence of pollutants makes it difficult to make accurate estimations of their actual exposure in the population. The proposed solution uses[…]

Conventional processes for removing ions from water by precipitation require the use of chemical agents such as sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and/or sulphuric acid (H2SO4), but their use entails high costs, risks and environmental problems. The proposed RECOPRESA solution, based on electrochemistry, contr[…]

Fiber-reinforced composite laminates often suffer from cracks in the matrix, affecting mechanical strength and durability, which are especially critical in aeronautical, automotive and gas and liquid storage applications. The proposed solution uses a new type of resins, vitrimeric resins, to generat[…]

The current treatments, against the epidermal growth factor (EGFR), have resistances, lack of specificity, limited efficacy, side effects and an increased cost, which limit their usage. The proposed solution, the derivative tEGFha, mimics the natural ligand, blocks its activation and inhibits the tu[…]

We 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[…]

We propose a technology that involves the use of a hydrophobic membrane to allow for a controllable, adjustable, cost-effective, and energy-free diffussion of hexanoate precursors. This new method will increase the production efficiency and purity of those valuable chemicals.[…]

We propose a simple technology that allows for the mechanical bonding of metal and composite materials, with reduced costs and cycle times. This technology also minimizes the damage to the composite material and does not increase the final weight of the piece. It is an easy implementation in the aut[…]
