Abstract: The present application relates to antibodies that bind to small molecules such as cyclophosphamide, ifosfamide, and analogs thereof, and immunological assays for determining the presence and/or quantifying the amount of cyclophosphamide and/or ifosfamide in a sample. By way of example, such immunological assays can be used for environmental testing.

Abstract: A heat exchanger that includes a membrane of graphene oxide is disclosed, as is a heat exchange system employing such a heat exchanger. The heat exchanger permits the use of water from non-traditional sources, such as waste water, brackish and sea water, in a cooling loop. Clean water and sensible heat permeate through the membrane, simultaneously cooling and purifying water in the cooling loop.

Abstract: A low-cost, water treatment system and method for reducing arsenic contamination in small community water storage tanks. Arsenic is removed by using a submersible pump, sitting at the bottom of the tank, which continuously recirculates (at a low flow rate) arsenic-contaminated water through an attached and enclosed filter bed containing arsenic-sorbing media. The pump and treatment column can be either placed inside the tank (In-Tank) by manually-lowering through an access hole, or attached to the outside of the tank (Out-of-Tank), for easy replacement of the sorption media.

Abstract: An improved method and apparatus for injecting particulate media into the ground for constructing underground permeable reactive barriers, which are used for environmental remediation of subsurface contaminated soil and water. A media injector sub-assembly attached to a triple wall drill string pipe sprays a mixture of active particulate media suspended in a carrier fluid radially outwards from the sub-assembly, at the same time that a mixing fluid is sprayed radially outwards. The media spray intersects the mixing spray at a relatively close distance from the point of injection, which entrains the particulate media into the mixing spray and ensures a uniform and deep dispersion of the active media in the surrounding soil. The media injector sub-assembly can optionally include channels for supplying compressed air to an attached down-the-hole hammer drive assembly for use during drilling.

Abstract: The present invention provides non-radioactively labeled synthetic substrates for enzymatic reactions which exhibit markedly improved solubility having the general structure *F-R1-L1-R2-PHc1-PS-PHc2-(R3-L-R4-T)y. These substrates may be designed to carry a charge to allow electrophoretic separation of substrates and reaction products. The invention also provides enzymatic activity assays for protein kinases, phosphatases and proteases utilizing the substrates of the invention, as well as methods of producing these substrates. In addition, the invention also provides libraries of the substrates, and methods of utilizing these libraries to select optimal synthetic peptide enzyme substrates for high-throughput screening assays.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for constructing a underground barrier wall structure using a jet grout injector subassembly comprising a pair of primary nozzles and a plurality of secondary nozzles, the secondary nozzles having a smaller diameter than the primary nozzles, for injecting grout in directions other than the primary direction, which creates a barrier wall panel having a substantially uniform wall thickess. This invention addresses the problem of the weak “bow-tie” shape that is formed during conventional jet injection when using only a pair of primary nozzles. The improvement is accomplished by using at least four secondary nozzles, of smaller diameter, located on both sides of the primary nozzles. These additional secondary nozzles spray grout or permeable reactive materials in other directions optimized to fill in the thin regions of the bow-tie shape. The result is a panel with increased strength and substantially uniform wall thickness.
