20110034916 | NANOPARTICLE-MEDIATED MICROWAVE TREATMENT METHODS - A method is provided for using magnetic nanoparticles to enhance microwave therapies for treating cells and tissues. The nanoparticles are designed to transduce microwave radiation into heat and furthermore, the nanoparticles may include specific tissue targeting and other functionality for enhancing in situ effects. In one embodiment, nanoparticles are introduced into a tissue system and a microwave field is applied. The nanoparticles react to the microwave energy by releasing heat thus heating the tissue and inducing hyperthermia (below 50° C.) or thermotherapy (above 50° C.). The nanoparticles can be designed for optimal heat production response at specific microwave frequencies and/or ranges of microwave frequencies where these frequencies may span the entire microwave spectrum, namely 300 MHz (310 | 02-10-2011 |

20140272928 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETECTION OF CELLS USING ENGINEERED TRANSDUCTION PARTICLES - Systems and methods for detecting and/or identifying target cells (e.g., bacteria) using engineered transduction particles are described herein. In some embodiments, a method includes mixing a quantity of transduction particles within a sample. The transduction particles are associated with a target cell. The transduction particles are non-replicative, and are engineered to include a nucleic acid molecule formulated to cause the target cell to produce a series of reporter molecules. The sample and the transduction particles are maintained to express the series of the reporter molecules when target cell is present in the sample. A signal associated with a quantity of the reporter molecules is received. In some embodiments, a magnitude of the signal is independent from a quantity of the transduction particle above a predetermined quantity. | 09-18-2014 |

20100318455 | TRADING NITROGEN CREDITS DETERMINED BASED ON THE USE OF A GENETICALLY MODIFIED PLANT - To trade nitrogen credits on an electronic trading market, an amount of nitrogen applied or to be applied to obtain a desired crop yield using a genetically modified version of a plant is determined. The genetically modified version of the plant has a nitrogen utilization efficiency greater than a non-genetically modified version of the plant. A nitrogen credit is calculated based on the determined amount of nitrogen. The credit is conveyed to one or more potential buyers through the electronic trading market. | 12-16-2010 |
20110029422 | TRADING GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSION CREDITS DETERMINED BASED ON THE USE OF A GENETICALLY MODIFIED PLANT - To trade greenhouse gas emission credits on an electronic trading market, an amount of nitrogen applied or to be applied to obtain a desired crop yield using a genetically modified version of a plant is determined. The genetically modified version of the plant has a nitrogen utilization efficiency greater than a non-genetically modified version of the plant. An amount of greenhouse gas emission is determined based on the amount of nitrogen. A greenhouse gas credit is calculated based on the determined amount of greenhouse gas emission. The calculated greenhouse gas credit is conveyed to one or more potential buyers through the electronic trading market. | 02-03-2011 |
20110129428 | Safflower with Elevated Gamma-Linolenic Acid - The present invention relates to compositions and methods for preparing gamma-linoleic acid (GLA) in safflower plants, particularly from seeds of safflower. Nucleic acid sequences and constructs encoding one or more fatty acid desaturase sequences are used to generate transgenic safflower plants that contain and express one or more of these sequences and produce high levels of GLA in safflower seeds. Provided are transgenic safflower plants and seeds that produce high levels of GLA. Additionally provided are oils produced from seeds of this invention. The invention also relates to methods of treating a variety of diseases including nervous system disorders, inflammatory conditions, cancer and cardiovascular disorders using the oils of this invention. | 06-02-2011 |
