New specific and optimized culture medium based on glycerine that increases the yield of processes for producing ethanol and hydrogenExploitation of the large amounts of glycerine produced as a by-product of the production of biodiesel and similar industrial processes. The employment of this culture medium increases the production yield of ethanol and hydrogen, in comparison with that obtained from the use of other sources of carbon. The effect of optimizing the culture medium is to reduce the costs and save energy in the industrial-scale fermentation process. No other alternative culture media exist that have been formulated and optimized for E. coli that would allow greater production yields of ethanol to be obtained. It represents a simple and attractive way of producing hydrogen and ethanol from a carbon source of low price and in plentiful supply. The high degree of reduction of the glycerine, in comparison with sugars, allows reduced chemical compounds such as succinate, xylitol, propionate, hydrogen and others to be obtained.Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - UPC posted this:

New sustainable adsorbent for bleaching efficient industrial effluentsMany industries, such as those belonging to the textile, wine, and paper industry, consume huge volumes of water and, as a result, generate a large amount of contaminated water containing persistent colour pollutant compounds. These compounds represent an environmental and health threat due to their well-known associated problems, such as carcinogenicity, toxicity and mutagenicity. Furthermore, they entail a great environmental impact when discharged in aquatic environments, perceptible at very low concentrations, creating an undesirable visual impact, which, in many cases, does not meet the degree of conformity under the current directives on the wastewater treatment for industrial effluents (Directive 91/271 / EEC). The solution proposed by the research group Chemical Engineering at the University of Vigo, is the use as adsorbent of peat, or a similar lignocellulosic material, immobilized in calcium alginate beads. This process is efficient, cheap and environmentally friendly, unlike other processes and technologies. In fact, the utilization of peat instead of activated carbon as industrial adsorbent has the advantage that peat requires no activation, unlike activated carbon, reducing operating costs. In addition, the low cost of the adsorbent would be translated into significant economic benefits. Moreover, depending on the contaminant removed from the waste effluent, the exhausted adsorbent may be used as soil fertilizer at its end of life.UNIVERSIDAD DE BURGOS posted this:

New system to modulate the degree of silencing of a gene of interest in plantsCSIC and UPV have developed a system that allows modulating the degree of silencing of any gene that is of interest in plants. Until now, the technologies used to regulate gene expression in plants only allowed to induce a high degree of silencing, but the level of silencing had not been regulated. This new system, through the use of small artificial RNAs (sRNAs), modulates the degree to which gene silencing occurs. This technology has a special interest in the case of wanting to silence a lethal gene and, for example, when the gene that is silenced is regulating the flowering time. Companies interested in patent licensing are sought for the development. An offer for Patent LicensingUniversitat de Lleida posted this:

New tools to improve the diagnosis and treatment of early atherosclerosisCardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death worldwide, with atherosclerosis (AT) being its main determinant. Currently, AT prevention is based on traditional scores that, however, fail to identify individuals at risk at early stages. The exact prevalence of subclinical atherosclerosis is impossible to determine, although it has been estimated in the USA that 50% of men and 64% of women who died of sudden cardiac death did not have a previous manifestation of the disease and most of them were not considered high risk according to the Framingham score. Subjects that suffer from CV events despite pharmacotherapy or those that are intolerant to it, emphasize the need for alternative treatments to be explored. CNIC researchers have discovered a metabolite as biomarker to identify individuals at risk at early stages, and the use of antagonist to this metabolite as new tool to improve the treatment of early AT. This treatment will be effective not only for AT, but also for autoinflammatory diseases.

New wheel slip reset controller for brake systemsThe main motivation for using reset control is the overcoming of fundamental limitations or trade-offs of conventional controllers: with the conventional controllers if we want a fast braking response, the system is fragile and sensitive to uncertainties; and if we want a robust system, this requires slower braking actions. Reset control is a novel technique that achieves more robust and fester braking responses in a way that no other conventional controller is able to produce.Larisa Sheloukhova posted this:
Next-Generation Lignocellulosic MaterialsSDG implementation dictates the utilization of renewable natural resources. Woody biomass is a useful renewable organic resource. Plant cell wall is mostly made of polysaccarides, cellulose and hemicellulose, and lignin, which are linked together in a highly complex structure and comprise the bulk of trees’ biomass. Despite high potential of lignin, it is mostly discarded or burnt as a byproduct in the pulp and paper industry. Therefore, among the structural biomass compounds only the polysaccharides are used for various applications. The present invention is a novel method of biopolymer isolation including high quality lignin.
