The invention provides for more rapid and efficient production of clays as a component in polymer-clay nanocomposites used in a variety of commercial applications.

The invention provides novel seed specific promoter regions and methods for controlling the expression seed products of interest and for specifically targeting and limiting expression to the seed at various developmental stages of the seed.

A compound that inhibits mycotoxin production, specifically, aflatoxin and deoxynivalenol (DON), for use as a post-harvest treatment for seeds, nuts and grains. A screening test for compounds that inhibit mycotoxin production, for the identification and development of new anti-mycotoxin compounds.

This invention provides a process for preparing crystalline polylactic acid (PLA) from a racemic mixture of D and L-lactide, and eliminates the need to produce enantiopure monomers for preparing crystalline materials.

The invention is a process for treating water to reduce pollutants using initial ozonation of the water and a fluidized bed with supporting microorganisms, with an added carbon source to promote efficient breakdown of the organics in the water by the microorganisms.

Method for producing ultrastable porous aluminosilicate structures for industrial catalysis in petroleum refinement and chemical conversion of large molecules.

A novel gene whose expression promotes differentiation of myeloid progenitor cells into neutrophils and/or monocytes/macrophages for use in cancer diagnostic or therapeutic development.

This invention provides divinyl ether synthase genes, proteins, and methods of producing them for protecting plants against insects and microbial pathogens.

Control system to optimize laser source in MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry providing improved efficiency to the proteomics and drug discovery industries.

An immortalized pluripotent human pancreatic ductal cell line which can (1)produce insulin for treating insulin dependent diabetes and (2)screen for the ability of a chemical to induce pancreatic stem cell differentiation or malignancy and (3)identify biomarkers for earlier diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.
