This invention provides a single-strand DNA-polypyrrole based biosensor for the detection of Escherichia coli (E. coli), using synthetic oligonucleotides as a model of rapid detection of bacterial select bioterrorism agents.

This invention provides methods and compositions for increasing oil content in transgenic plants by over-expressing F-box proteins with seed-specific promoters.

Method for a continuous reactive distillation process to make an enhanced biodiesel fuel.

The invention includes two new metal alloys, Ti-15Al-33Nb(at.%) and Ti-21Al-29Nb(at.%), for use in biomedical implant applications.

The invention is a new magnetic resonance imaging technique that enhances the current diffusion tensor imaging approach by providing the ability to measure both spatial-direction variation and spatial-location variation in tissues, and thus offers a noninvasive imaging tool to simultaneously investigate the intravoxel inhomogeneity and anisotropy of tissue structures.

This invention provides a transgenic method for protecting plants from herbivorous insects by causing over expression of a protein that is harmful to the insects when ingested.

This invention is a method and apparatus (a biosensor) for detecting microorganisms using DNA hybridization and cyclic voltammetry.

This invention describes a method for determining antigenic diversity and clonal composition of Group B streptococci through the use polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

This technology describes a potential approach for control of cancer cells that express a mutated form of the H-Ras oncogene. The invention works by reducing expression of the Sprouty protein, which, in the presence of activated H-Ras, promotes malignancy.

Plant extracts and specific chemical compounds with antifeedent properties against Colorado Potato Beetle and other arthropod pests prepared from Verbascum species.
