| 20090018805 | Optically selective coatings for plant tissues - The present invention provides optically selective coatings for plant tissues, such as agricultural products. The coatings are designed to transmit a desired spectrum of light, while preventing harmful intensities of radiation in given wavelength ranges from damaging the plant tissues. For example, a coating may be tailored to perform as a low-pass filter preferentially allowing shorter wavelengths to penetrate the coating, a high-pass filter preferentially passing longer wavelengths, or a band-pass filter, preferentially passing visible light to the plant tissues while minimizing the penetration of ultraviolet and infrared light. An exemplary embodiment comprises making an optically selective coating by determining a desired transmission spectrum for the coating, then calculating the film properties (such as thickness, particle size, and/or index of refraction, for example) of one or more materials to obtain the desired transmission spectrum for the film to be applied to the surface to be protected. | 01-15-2009 |
| 20100024072 | Methods to Increase Crop Yield - Provided herein are exemplary methods for increasing crop yield. One exemplary method for increasing a yield of a crop includes controlling plant tissue stress by at least partially coating a plant tissue with a composition comprising an agricultural sunscreen formulation and a second agricultural chemical. The agricultural sunscreen formulation and the second agricultural chemical may be applied to the plant tissue from separate containers, wherein each container either contains the agricultural sunscreen formulation or the second agricultural chemical. Further, the agricultural sunscreen formulation and the second agricultural chemical may be applied to the crop at or near the same time. Alternatively, the agricultural sunscreen formulation and the second agricultural chemical may be applied to the crop from a shared container, wherein the shared container contains both the agricultural sunscreen formulation and the second agricultural chemical. | 01-28-2010 |

| 20090155370 | METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR SELECTIVELY REMOVING POTASSIUM ION FROM THE GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT OF A MAMMAL - The present invention provides methods and compositions for the treatment of ion imbalances using core-shell composites and compositions comprising such core-shell composites. In particular, the invention provides core-shell particles and compositions comprising potassium binding polymers, and core-shell particles and compositions comprising sodium binding polymers, and in each case, pharmaceutical compositions thereof. Methods of use of the polymeric and pharmaceutical compositions for therapeutic and/or prophylactic benefits are also disclosed. The compositions and methods of the invention offer improved approaches for treatment of hyperkalemia and other indications related to potassium ion homeostasis, and for treatment of hypertension and other indicates related to sodium ion homeostasis. | 06-18-2009 |
| 20100029897 | ANION-BINDING POLYMERS AND USES THEREOF - Anion-binding polymers are described. The anion-binding polymers in some cases are low swelling anion-binding polymers. In some cases, the anion-binding polymers have a pore volume distribution such that a fraction of the polymer is not available for non-interacting solutes above a certain percentage of the MW of the target ion for the polymer. In some cases, the anion-binding polymers are characterized by low ion-binding interference, where the interference is measured in, for example, a gastrointestinal simulant, relative to non-interfering buffer. Pharmaceutical composition, methods of use, and kits are also described. | 02-04-2010 |
