20140302567 | METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS USING LIGNOLYTIC ENZYMES AND MEDIATORS TO REDUCE AND REFORM LIGNIN CONTENTS IN LIGNOCELLULOSIC BIOMASS - Embodiments of the present disclosure include methods of treating a biomass, in particular lignocellulosic biomass (e.g., switch grass, sweet sorghum, miscanthus, pine wood, corn stover, and the like), under appropriate conditions to effectively reduce and/or reform the lignin contents in lignocellulosic biomass without significantly reducing its sugar contents. | 10-09-2014 |
20140242866 | PHOTOCHEMICAL CROSS-LINKABLE POLYMERS, METHODS OF MAKING PHOTOCHEMICAL CROSS-LINKABLE POLYMERS, METHODS OF USING PHOTOCHEMICAL CROSS-LINKABLE POLYMERS, AND METHODS OF MAKING ARTICLES CONTAINING PHOTOCHEMICAL CROSS-LINKABLE POLYMERS - Embodiments of the present disclosure, in one aspect, relate to polymer compositions, methods of making polymer compositions, structures having the polymer composition covalently bonded to the surface of the structure, methods of attaching the polymer to the surface of the structure, methods of decreasing the amount of microorganisms formed on a structure, materials, methods of attaching materials, and the like. | 08-28-2014 |
20140065690 | Avian Transgenesis and Exogenous Proteins - This invention provides vectors and methods for the stable introduction of exogenous nucleic acid sequences into the genome of a bird and for expressing said exogenous sequences to alter the phenotype of the bird or to produce desired proteins. In particular, transgenic chickens are produced which express exogenous sequences in their oviducts. Eggs which contain exogenous proteins are also produced. | 03-06-2014 |
20120007599 | UPPER STACK FOR A NUCLEAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE SPECTROMETER APPARATUS AND ASSOCIATED METHOD OF OPERATING A NUCLEAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE SPECTROMETER APPARATUS - An upper stack for a nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer apparatus includes a cryostat having one or more chambers for holding samples in a frozen state. A sample loading tube that also allows He delivery extends to the cryostat, and a sample changer mechanism is disposable at least in part proximate to the cryostat for moving specimens from the cryostat to an NMR probe where they can be heated and melted using inductive heating. A sample ejection tube extends from the sample changer mechanism allowing a clear path for heating a sample in an NMR probe using a laser beam. | 01-12-2012 |
20110277049 | PRODUCTION OF CLONED OFFSPRING FROM COOLED CARCASSES - Genetic material is derived from animals post-mortem, and used in nuclear transfer processes to produce cloned embryos and live cloned animals having genetic make-ups identical to the post mortem animals. The method has particular applicability to the management and breeding of livestock, to the production of animals having desired genetic traits, and to the integration of those genetic traits into selective breeding operations. | 11-10-2011 |
20110201549 | Enhancement of Bacillus Thuringiensis Cry Toxicities to Lesser Mealworm Alphitobius Diaperinus - The subject invention relates in part to the discovery that BtBooster (BtB) peptides enhance Bt strain and Cry protein toxicity to the lesser mealworm. The subject invention also relates in part to the discovery that Bt | 08-18-2011 |
20110183896 | ENHANCEMENT OF BACILLUS THURINGIENSIS CRY PROTEIN TOXICITIES TO COLEOPTERANS, AND NOVEL INSECT CADHERIN FRAGMENTS - The subject invention relates in part to the discovery that a fragment from a cadherin of the western corn rootworm enhances Cry3 toxicity to larvae of naturally susceptible species. The subject invention also relates in part to the discovery that a cadherin fragment from a beetle enhances Cry3Aa and Cry3Bb toxicity to coleopteran larvae, particularly those in the family Chrysomelidae. Such cadherin fragments are referred to as Bt Boosters (BtBs). The subject invention can be extended to the use of BtBs with other coleopteran-toxic Cry proteins for controlling a wide range of coleopterans. | 07-28-2011 |
20100093678 | Compositions and methods of the treatment of obesity and osteoporosis - The present invention relates to naturally occurring compositions comprising vitamin D3 or related analog and methods for treating obesity and/or osteoporosis and reducing body fat or enhancing a bone graft in patients in need thereof. | 04-15-2010 |
20100066346 | Fabrication of microstructures integrated with nanopillars along with their applications as electrodes in sensors - This invention presents microstructures enhanced with nanopillars. The invention also provides ways for manufacturing nanopillar-enhanced microstructures. In some embodiments, the invention also provides methods of use for the nanopillar-enhanced microstructures. | 03-18-2010 |
20090297913 | Nanostructure-Enhanced stereo-electrodes for fuel cells and biosensors - This application provides nanostructure-enhanced stereo-electrodes. The application also provides novel ways to manufacture nanostructure-enhanced electrodes. In some embodiments, the invention also provides methods of use for devices equipped with the nanostructure-enhanced stereo-electrodes. | 12-03-2009 |
20080274446 | Cryopreserved human neuronal cultures - Cryopreserved cultures of post-mitotic neuronal or neural-like cells are provided having a viability after thaw of greater than 10%, typically greater than 50%. Once thawed, the cells are capable of further differentiation. In one embodiment, less than 20% of the cryopreserved cells are self-proliferating cells. The cells can be provided in a kit including a container of the cryopreserved neuronal or neural-like cells, optionally including additional cell culture reagents and materials. Method for preparing the cryopreserved neuronal or neural-like cells derived from embryonic stem cells, preferably human embryonic stem cells, are also provided. | 11-06-2008 |
