Single Step Multiplexed Metagenome Sequencing based Bacterial/Viral Pathogen Detection for Bovine Respiratory Disease

BACKGROUND Traditional pathogen identification is a cornerstone of both veterinary and medical diagnostics. For decades, methods such as Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and bacterial or culturing have been widely used. However, these techniques are often time-consuming and resource intensive. Typically, only a limited number of pathogens can be detected...

Downdraft Gasifier with Internal Cyclonic Combustion Chamber

BACKGROUND The gasification process offers significant potential for converting biomass materials into energy fuels and chemicals in an efficient and environmentally friendly manner. Traditional throat-type downdraft gasifiers have been able to convert solid biomass into producer gas, but with several major limitations. The throat section can obstruct...

Use of Chloroplast translation factor for increasing photosynthesis, biomass and yield

BACKGROUND Our world currently faces the urgent challenge of increasing global food and feed production to meet rapidly growing demand. By 2050, food demand is projected to raise as much as 98%, not only to nourish expanding human and animal populations, but also to supply plant biomass for alternative energy sources. Achieving this growth depends...

Nanoporous carbon adsorbents derived from spent coffee grounds for CO2 capture

BACKGROUND Climate change has quickly emerged as a critical global challenge, with carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions considered the largest contributor to this climate crisis. These emissions are directly linked to shifts in weather patterns, an increase in extreme weather events, and the accelerated melting of polar ice caps. As climate impacts intensify,...

Single Step, Multiplexed, Metagenome Sequencing based Bacterial Pathogen Detection for Gastrointestinal Disturbances (Salmonella spp., C. perfringens, E. coli, Klebsiella spp.)

BACKGROUND Gastrointestinal disturbances can be caused by a wide range of pathogens or an overabundance of certain microbial families. Detecting pathogenic bacteria and analyzing the overall microbial composition of the gut can help identify imbalances that may lead to dysbiosis. Current diagnostic technologies often struggle to detect more than a...

Fishery Analysis Applications

BACKGROUND Fisheries professionals routinely collect fish data for population monitoring. These data are often collected and analyzed in regional offices. A centralized data management application would be preferable because it provides a central data storage repository of all data for an agency (with backup), standardizes the analysis approach used...

Redox-based Meat Discoloration Monitoring Tool

BACKGROUND Meat is a vital food source, rich in protein, minerals, and vitamins, that form a critical component of the human diet. However, meat quality and freshness are largely determined by its color, which consumers worldwide use as a primary indicator when making purchasing or meat use decisions. The red color of fresh meat primarily originates...

Novel fungal glycosyl hydrolases, their production and uses thereof

BACKGROUND In the biofuels industry, enzymes are used to convert agricultural residues, such as sorghum stover, into simple sugars for fuel and chemical production. Conventional biological conversion relies on pretreating the biomass, which is expensive and requires the use of harsh chemicals. Conversely, fungi-derived enzymes (cellulases, hemicellulases,...

Protein engineering and protein optimization based on ancestral sequence reconstruction using evolutionary molecular meandering and fitness well dragging

BACKGROUND An Ancestral Sequence Reconstruction (ASR) highlights the evolutionary pathway of proteins and how some protein homologs have differed in both structural and functional composition throughout evolution. These differing compositions have resulted in proteins with variable abilities, which may have previously been overlooked due to the lack...

Nitrate removal from water by means of carbon adsorbents derived from spent coffee grounds

BACKGROUND High levels of nitrate ions in drinking water can pose health risks to humans and livestock. These nitrates can infiltrate drinking water by means of agricultural activities and wastewater. Fertilizers used in agriculture can be carried away by rainwater into nearby lakes and rivers. Wastewater from failed septic systems can also find its...
