Scientific discoveries in recent years suggest that some serious conditions could be cured by adding “good” bacteria to your digestive tract. Now several companies are racing to develop drugs that do so.
It’s a jungle in there: massive populations of microbes, immune cells, and cells of the gut tissue are interacting and exchanging countless chemical and physical signals. Disruptions to this complex ecosystem, often called the microbiome, have been linked not only to gastrointestinal problems but also to metabolic, immunological, and even neurological disorders.
La SPRI, Sociedad para la Transformación Competitiva, convoca las “Ayudas para la realización de inversiones científico-tecnológicas en la CAPV 2016”, cuyo objetivo es impulsar las inversiones de empresas ubicadas en la Comunidad Autónoma del País Vasco en infraestructuras científico-tecnológicas y en equipamiento, mediante el acceso a financiación de riesgo, mediante la concesión de créditos. El plazo de presentación permanecerá abierto hasta el 11 de febrero. Esta línea cuenta con un presupuesto de21,34 millones de euros.
Las herramientas de fabricación digital van adquiriendo cada vez más peso en los centros educativos-formativos de toda Euskadi, pero también empiezan a ser más accesibles a los usuarios y emprendedores a través de laboratorios de creación o tiendas especializadas a pie de calle. La autofabricación o el ‘Do it yourself’ está ya al alcance de cualquier persona.
Neura, a platform that helps users personalize connected devices while guarding their data, will promote its new software development kit after raising a $11 million Series A. The round was led by AXA Strategic Partners and Pitango Venture Capital, with participation from Liberty Israel Venture Fund and Lenovo Group.
Neura, which can currently be integrated with more than 55 devices and software channels, just held a beta program with “tens of thousands of users,” and expects that number to increase significantly after launching its SDK. Co-founder and chief executive officer Gilad Meiri says Neura will use its new funding to promote the SDK, strike partnerships with tech companies, and hire more employees.
Ekonomia krisiak agerian utzi du ikastetxeetan hamar eta hamabost urteko ikasleengan ekintzailetasuna eta harekin lotutako zenbait konpetentzia (sormenezkoak, arriskuak hartzekoak) garatzen lagunduko duten programak martxan jartzea. Erronka horri aurre egiteko, Ikastolen Elkartea eta Mondragon Unibertsitateko Goi Eskola Politeknikoak YESict (Young Entrepreneurial Siklls by ICT) europar proiektuan parte hartzen ari dira.
Buy a new car these days and the chances are that it will be fitted with an array of driver-assistance technologies. These can match the speed of a car ahead, manage lane changing safely, and even apply the brakes to help prevent a collision. So an interesting question is how much better these safety systems can become before the inevitable occurs and the car takes over completely.
Today we get a partial answer thanks to the work of Ashesh Jain at Cornell University and a few pals, who have developed a system that can predict a human driver’s next maneuver some three seconds before he or she makes it. This information, they say, can then be used to identify and prevent potential accidents.
On a sunny day on the campus of the University of California, Berkeley, the peaceful rustling of eucalyptus trees belies the furious chemical activity happening inside every single leaf. Through photosynthesis, leaves use the energy in sunlight to turn water and carbon dioxide into substances that plants need, emitting only oxygen in the process. In a nearby lab, chemist Peidong Yang is building an artificial system that does the same, using arrays of nanowires coupled with engineered bacteria. If something like this is ever scaled up, it would churn out a better version of the fuels we use today—one that does not add to the total amount of carbon dioxide in the air.
El cierre de 269 locales en todo el mundo, más de 150 de ellos en Estados Unidos, representa un inusitado repliegue de Wal-Mart Stores Inc. en su mercado y culmina un año en el que los consumidores acuden menos a las tiendas y optan crecientemente por comprar en Internet.
La mayor cadena minorista del mundo cerrará 155 tiendas en América Latina, 60 de las cuales ya bajaron las persianas en Brasil, un mercado donde le ha costado expandir sus ventas y aprovechar su cadena de suministro para ser más rentable.
