Sniff Joustick, a new dimension in gaiming

An innovative and simple control device which enables full and accurate control of computer applications using nose sniffing. The device is based on nasal flow and in fact can replace the mouse and joystick. In the past several years the industry of computer gaming has grown from the personal com...

Liposomes highly efficient biocompatible based lubricantmaterial

Liposomes are vesicles formed by natural lipids commonly named phospholipids. Phospholipids contain the phosphocholine head group which has great impact on their characteristics. In general the use of natural lipids provides biocompatibility; liposomes are frequently used as drug delivery agents,...

Enzymatic Systems for Cellulose degradation

Enhanced hydrolysis of cellulosic biomass for biofuel production. Bacterial and enzymatic conversion of lignocellulosic biomass into fuel ethanol is gaining great attention due to the increasing prices of fossil fuel and enhanced concerns related to carbon dioxide and the greenhouse effect, as we...

Proteopedia

A wiki-based resource for sharing structural information of biological macromolecules. The information gleaned from structural biology studies is critical for understanding biological processes, and can facilitate drug discovery and design. A wealth of protein structures has been solved in recent...

Anti-glutamate Receptor GluR3B for Diagnosis, Research and Drug Discovery in Epilepsy

A monoclonal antibody against GluR3B, a peptide found in epilepsy patients, and especially in patients suffering from intractable, resistant forms of the disease, could be used in diagnosis kits as well as in drug development for this form of "autoimmune epilepsy".

Anti-ErbB ligand therapy for the treatment of cancer

ErbB ligand-binding molecule for blocking binding to ErbB recptors. The ErbB receptor family/epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) family is a family of four structurally related receptor tyrosine kinases. Tumor cells produce high level of epidermal growth factor (EGF), the ligand for ErbB1 rec...

Quantum Games

A series of games teaching quantum physics for non-physicists and children, the quantum programmers of tomorrow, has been developed.  Each game teaches a complementary aspect of quantum physics, such as superposition and entanglement, the uncertainty principle, etc. The games can be adjuste...

CCL2 for the Treatment of Inflammation

A method to treat inflammatory disorders. Malfunctions of the immune system are responsible for a series of inflammatory disorders. Two such disorders are rheumatoid arthritis and asthma, encompassing together approximately 23 million Americans. No definitive treatment is currently avail...

Monoclonal Anti-Ubiquitinated histone H2B antibody

A novel antibody which can be used, for the first time, to recognize ubiquitinated histone 2B. This technology is novel in its ability to recognize proteins and their destinations, and may serve in diagnostics and immunoprecipitation processes.

Treatment of Swimming Pool Water

Excess cyanuric acid, a by-product of chlorine products used to maintain water quality in swimming pools, over stabilizes the chlorine which in turn, interferes with the disinfection process and ultimately clouds the poolwater. Using highly selective enzymes, cyanuric acid can be degraded into a...
