THE TESTING FOR SALMONELLA CURRENTLY INVOLVES METHODOLOGY THAT REQUIRES 3-8 DAYS TO COMPLETE AND A FAIRLY SOPHISTICAT ED SKILL LEVEL TO PERFORM. THIS PROJECT IS DESIGNED TO D DEVELOP BOTH MANUAL AND BIOSENSOR-BASED HOMOGENEOUS ASSAYS THAT WILL REDUCE THE DETECTION TIME OF SALMONELLA TO WITHIN 24 HOURS AND BE TECHNICALLY SIMPLER TO PERFORM. THE NOVEL ASPECT IS THE USE OF A LIMPSOME-ENCAPSULATED ENZ ...

A NEW TYPE OF CLOSED-LOOP GREENHOUSE COOLING AND HEATING SYSTEM THAT PERMITS CO2 ENRICHMENT OF A VARIETY OF PRINCIPALCROP AND NATIVE SPECIES OVER LONG PERIODS OF TIME WITHOUT LOSS OF CO2 DURING VENTILATION WILL BE CONSTRUCTED, INSTALLED IN AN EXISTING GREENHOUSE, AND TESTED FOR ITS ABILITY TO ACHIEVE ENERGY BALANCE DURING A RANGE OF SELECTEDCOOLING/HEATING LOAD CONDITIONS PRODUCED IN THE GROWTH CH ...

IN 1987 RUTGERS PROFESSORS COMPLETED KEY RESEARCH ON SINGLE CLUSTER TOMATO PRODUCTION. THE RESULTS INDICATE THIS COUNTER INTUITIVE (I.E.; INNOVATIVE) IDEA CAN REVOLUTIONIZE TOMATO GROWING IN GREENHOUSES TO SUPPLY VINE RIPENED TOMATOES YEAR AROUND AT AN ATTRACTIVE PRICE. THE CURRENT TOMATO GROWING STRATEGY IS TO GROW PLANTS THROUGH AN ENTIRE SELLING SEASON. INTUITIVELY THIS STRATEGY IS REASONABLE S ...

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 ...

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 ...

NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARY: Industrial proteins produced in plants, particularly corn, offer a unique opportunity for industrial scale production of enzymes at competitive prices and yields that will address markets that cannot be addressed today. These corn-produced enzymes open the possibility to address such large markets as pulp bleaching, textile bleaching, bio-glues and enzymatic remediation of w ...
