THE PROPOSED PROJECT WILL DETERMINE THE FEASIBILITY OF COMMERCIALIZING RURAL INTEGRATED TECHNOLOGY CENTERS (RITC'S)IN LOCAL COMMUNITIES FOR MODERNIZATION OF SERVICES AND GREATER ACCESS TO EXISTING AND FUTURE PROGRAM AND INFORMATION RESOURCES. RURAL COMMUNITIES FACE CHALLENGES INOBTAINING THE RESOURCES NEEDED FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND COMPETING WITH URBAN CENTERS TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN PROFESSION ...

SORBITOL, GLUCONIC ACID AND METAL GLUCONATES ARE USED IN MANY DIVERSE FIELDS, INCLUDING FOODS, PHARMACEUTICALS, COSMETICS, TEXTILES, AND POLYMERS. AT PRESENT, GLUCOSE IS COMMERCIALLY REDUCED TO SORBITOL BUT THE OPERATING CONDITIONS USED (HIGH TEMPERATURE AND HIGH HYDROGEN GAS PRESSURE) ARE UNDESIRABLE AND DANGEROUS. AN ALTERNATIVE APPROACH IS THE PAIRED ELECTROCHEMICAL SYSTHESIS OF SORBITOL AND GL ...

A HIGH EFFICIENCY ACTIVATED CARBON GRANULE WILL BE DEVELOPED FOR DRINKING WATER TREATMENT. THE FOUNDATION FOR THIS HIGH EFFICIENCY GRANULE IS A SUPERACTIVATED CARBON WITH A BET SURFACE AREA IN EXCESS OF 3000 M(2)/GM USING THE STANDARD PROCEDURE BY BRUNAUER, EMMETT, AND TELLER, AND AN IODINE NUMBER GREATER THAN 3000 MG/G. TWO GRANULATIN TECHNOLOGIES WILL BE EXPLORED: SPHERICAL AGGLOMERATION AND EXT ...

THIS PROPOSAL CONCERNS THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN INNOVATIVE APPROACH TO ENHANCING THE GROWTH OF ALGAE IN AQUACULTURE SYSTEMS. THIS NEW APPROACH INVOLVES AN ENZYME-BASED COLLECTION SYSTEM TO UTILIZE ATMOSPHERIC CARBON DIOXIDE ALLOWING DENSE, SUSTAINED ALGAL PRODUCTION. NATURALLY, ALGAE OBTAIN CARBON DIOXIDE, USED AS THEIR CARBON SOURCE, FROM SURROUNDING WATER WHICH IS SLOWLY REPLENISHED FROM ATMOSPHERI ...
