Traditional methods of hydrating nitriles to amides involve the use of strong bases or acids, enzymes, or heterogenous catalysts, but these traditional methods suffer from various drawbacks. Strong acids or bases are generally used in stoichiometric excess under harsh conditions, which often induces further hydrolysis of the desired amides to carboxylic acids which lowers the yield.

psuedomallei , the etiologic agent of melioidosis, causes severe disease in both humans and animals. Melioidosis is an emerging bacterial infectious disease that is being increasingly recognized in tropical regions around the world. Diagnosis and treatment of melioidosis can be challenging and no commercial vaccines currently exist. In 2015, the conservative estimated global burden of human melioidosis was ~165,000 cases with ~89,000 deaths which is equivalent to that of measles and exceeds morbidity due to leptospirosis and dengue infection.

Technology Summary With a production of more than 200 millions of tons per year, synthetic polymers are widely used materials and can be found in many consumer products including Teflon in non-stick pans, money, and super glu...Thu, 27 Jun 2013 17:00:40 GMTalexv@unr.eduhttp://unr_old.testtechnologypublisher.com/tech/Two-Dimensional_Membrane_and_PolymersUNR11-004http://unr_old.testtechnologypublisher.com/tech/High_Power-Density_Plane-Surface_Heating_ElementConventional flat-plate heating elements consist of a resistive element that is encapsulated in electrical insulation. With application of electrical power, current flows in the resistive element, generating heat. The resistive element temperature rises and heat is conducted across the insulation. At high power-density, the low thermal conductance of the insulation causes the resistive element to reach unacceptably high temperatures, and this limits performance. Consequently, power densities are generally limited to less than 50W/cm2 surface area. The High Power-Density Plane-Surface H...Tue, 24 Jul 2012 09:30:40 GMTalexv@unr.eduhttp://unr_old.testtechnologypublisher.com/tech/High_Power-Density_Plane-Surface_Heating_ElementUNR02-015http://unr_old.testtechnologypublisher.com/tech?title=Hybrid_human%2frobot_coordinated_joint_motion_control_architecture_for_application_in_unstructured_environments_involving_iterative_or_repetitive_tasksRobotics used in the manufacturing industry cannot be aptly applied in machinery operations that require complex operations and variable tasks or a changing environment that is unstructured and requires on-going adjustment. University of Nevada, Reno's Coordinated Joint Motion Control (JMC) architecture allows for artificial intelligence enhanced computerized control of a variety of machines from small robotics to heavy equipment such as large excavators. Using the novel JMC architecture, the human operator retains the master control of the main motion parameters, while the computer coo...Mon, 23 Apr 2012 11:06:54 GMTalexv@unr.eduhttp://unr_old.testtechnologypublisher.com/tech?title=Hybrid_human%2frobot_coordinated_joint_motion_control_architecture_for_application_in_unstructured_environments_involving_iterative_or_repetitive_tasksUNR11-011http://unr_old.testtechnologypublisher.com/tech/Cycloaddition_reaction_for_making_nitrogen-containing_7-membered_heterocyclic_compoundsResearch in the Jeffrey laboratory at UNR is focused on addressing important, unmet challenges in target directed synthesis.

This disease is increasingly important to address as its bacterial spores have been used in bioterrorism, where there is the use of antibiotic resistant strains.Early diagnosis and intervention before toxin production is vital for patient survival. However, the current methods of diagnosis with bacterial cultures take 12-14 hours for a preliminary diagnosis and further testing with sophisticated assays for more definitiv...Mon, 27 Feb 2012 13:54:51 GMTalexv@unr.eduhttp://unr_old.testtechnologypublisher.com/tech?title=Detection%2c_Prevention%2c_and_Treatment_of_Anthrax_and_Other_Infectious_DiseasesUNR08-023http://unr_old.testtechnologypublisher.com/tech/Electrical_Power_from_Wastewater_SludgeThe U.S. generates 8 million dry metric tons of sludge each year. The costs of disposing this sludge are roughly $2 billion dollars annually and the EPA spends about 1/5th of their budget ($1.4 billion dollars) on wastewater management. For individual wastewater treatment plants (WWTP), ‘dewatering’ the sludge is one of the primary operating costs. This, combined with a renewed focus on conversion of biosolids to fuel, has led to new and innovative approaches to wastewater processing. Drs. Chuck Coronella and Victor Vasquez at the University of Nevada-Reno have come up with an alternati...Thu, 09 Feb 2012 09:13:31 GMTalexv@unr.eduhttp://unr_old.testtechnologypublisher.com/tech/Electrical_Power_from_Wastewater_Sludge
