AQUAMER MEDICAL CORPORATION (OTCBB: AQUM)
(Company will soon be changing its name to Aquamer Urban Agricultural Corporation)
Detailed Quote: http://www.otcpicks.com/quotes/AQUM.php
Company Profile: http://www.otcpicks.com/Aquamer-Urban-Agricultural.htm
To conduct its urban indoor farming business, Urban Agricultural will be utilizing TerraSphere's proprietary system of vertically stacked growing trays that precisely controls light, temperature, water and nutrition to grow fruits and vegetables indoors. These systems are automated, software driven and sensitive to environmental concerns.
Aquamer believes that the market for urban indoor farming is significant. It is estimated that by the year 2050 the world's population will increase by an additional three billion people to well over nine billion inhabitants, with as much as 70 percent of the world's population living in cities or urban areas by 2050, up from 49 percent today. Considering that only about 10 percent of the earth's land is arable, and that more than 80 percent of this agriculturally suitable land is already being exploited, it is projected that there will not be enough horizontal growing space to feed this substantially increasing population. For decades, humans have increasingly sought the economic and physical protection offered by urban centers, but our food production has primarily remained outside these locations where it is subject to the whims of the environment. Urban indoor farming offers the promise of feeding an increasingly hungry world in a highly productive and environmentally friendly manner.
Urban Ag's goal is to promote the sustainable consumption of natural resources through clean technologies, to demonstrate environmentally and socially responsible business practices and to provide good jobs to empower a diverse community-based workforce while at the same time creating shareholder value. Urban Ag's farming activities will offer consumers a healthy, local, sustainable, eco-friendly alternative to large-scale industrial farming, which is highly dependent upon the use of agricultural fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides that may be harmful to consumers and both the agricultural products themselves and also the environment in which they are grown. TerraSphere has provided data showing that its patented vertical farming technology reduces water consumption through a highly efficient closed loop design that requires up to 75 percent less water than conventional field agriculture watering practices. Using these techniques, Urban Ag expects to be able to produce over 50 pounds of product per square foot per year, utilizing a short growing cycle of approximately 42 days versus 50 days for average greenhouse production and as compared to up to 70 days for traditional farming methodologies.
Vertical farming offers a solution for increasing fruit, produce and herb production due to the high density production providing for a much reduced physical footprint and fewer resources relative to field agriculture. Vertical farming systems have the potential for increasing urban food supplies while decreasing the ecological impact of farming including a smaller carbon footprint due to the reduction in fuel required transporting product across the country. Urban Ag's system of pesticide and herbicide free production with closed loop systems that conserves water provides significant potential for the realization of environmentally sustainable urban food production.

August 30 - Pluristem's Placenta Derived Cells Chosen by European Commission's Seventh Framework Program (FP7) Study for Treatment of Diastolic Heart Failure (DHF) in Type 2 Diabetic Patients
Pluristem Therapeutics Inc. (Nasdaq: PSTI) (DAX: PJT) announced that its PLX cell therapy product, derived from human placenta, a non-controversial, non-embryonic, adult stem cell source, was selected as the only cell therapy product candidate to enter into a study seeking treatments for diastolic heart failure (DHF) in the European Commission’s Seventh Framework Program (FP7). Pluristem is to receive a grant from the FP7 to cover study related R&D expenses.
The study will test the effects of PLX (PLacental eXpanded) cells on various heart cell types under high glucose conditions. Uncontrolled high glucose levels in type 2 diabetes patients can lead to oxidative stress in the heart. This condition can cause local inflammation which can result in fibrosis of the heart muscle and the development of diastolic heart failure (DHF). The properties of Pluristem’s PLX cells may prevent or delay the development of this extremely common but devastating disease.
"There has been a growing interest in the potential of PLX cells to treat a variety of clinical indications following the release of the PLX-PAD clinical study interim results, which demonstrated safety and shows a trend of efficacy. The decision to use our PLX cells in this DHF study is further verification of the uniqueness of Pluristem’s PLX cells as an off-the-shelf product that requires no tissue matching prior to administration," said Zami Aberman, chairman and CEO of Pluristem. “There is a significant unmet medical need for the treatment of DHF, not only in Europe but also globally, and Pluristem’s placenta-derived cell therapy may provide patients and physicians with an effective and safe treatment option for this disease.”
Approximately 15 million people worldwide suffer from DHF with the prevalence increasing as the population ages. Heart failure has now become the leading cause of hospitalization among patients over the age of 65 and it has been estimated that the cost of treating the disease in 2010 will exceed $39 Billion in the U.S. alone.
The Study consortium consists of 19 partners from 12 countries. Its objective is to investigate how metabolic derangements contribute to DHF, how diagnostic algorithms for DHF can be improved by assessing metabolic risk and how the correction of metabolic risk or of metabolic risk-induced cardiac abnormalities can open new therapeutic perspectives for DHF.

August 27 - mPhase Technologies Inc. Notes That General Electric Is Also Exploring Hydrophobic Nano-Engineered Surfaces
mPhase Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: XDSL) announced that it has noted, with enthusiasm, the recent announcement by General Electric that as part of its push into high-tech products that it will explore hydrophobic nano-engineered surfaces to improve the performance of other industrial products. Such surfaces can repel a wide range of liquids but be made to temporarily lose their liquid repelling properties using a technique known as "electrowetting." The research will be conducted in the Nanocoatings Subscale Lab at General Electric's Research Center in Niskayuna, New York.
General Electric joins a number of companies in its research and development of hydrophobic surface spaces including mPhase Technologies, Inc. mPhase has recently received a United States patent for the concept of a porous membrane made from silicon that is capable of controlling the flow of a wide range of liquids, including electrolytes, used in both primary and rechargeable batteries. The concepts behind the porous membrane are being used in the development of the Smart NanoBattery to create a new type of reserve battery that has a very long shelf life and can be activated or triggered on command based upon an external event.
mPhase CEO Ron Durando said, "Smaller companies like mPhase do a lot of the initial development of various technologies, and when these new technologies reach the cusp of commercialization, companies such as GE step into the market to leverage their deep pockets and research capacities — following the trail mPhase and others have blazed. We believe that GE's interest in hydrophobic nano-engineering surfaces is another great validation of our research and adds value to our portfolio of intellectual property."

August 27 - GoSolarUSA Funds the Development of PREEcharge for iPAD and Kindle
Agreement Entitles GSLO to Future PREEcharge Income From the iPAD and Kindle Applications
GoSolarUSA (OTC: GSLO) announced that management has inked another groundbreaking deal with PREE Corp to configure its proprietary PREEcharge technology for use with the iPAD and Kindle. On Monday, GSLO President Tyson Rohde met with the PREE team to discuss the patent application, development and future capital needs for the commercialization of PREEcharge technology. By Friday they had reached another deal.
“I was blown away by the potential of this new technology,” stated Tyson Rohde, President of GoSolarUSA. “The engineers and business development team at PREE are doing something profound, and I think people will understand its value fast.”
The PREEcharge technology captures electrons from LAN and Bluetooth waves and converts it into power to recharge batteries for wireless devices. The technology also incorporates a small solar panel to augment the charge with solar energy. To date, the entire product development has been focused on configuration for use with smaller wireless devices such as Apple’s (Nasdaq: AAPL), iPhone, Google’s (Nasdaq: GOOG) Android, and Research in Motion’s (Nasdaq: RIMM) BlackBerry. Now with the funding from GoSolarUSA, PREE will be able to accelerate the development of the PREEcharge for use with wireless PC tablets.
“Why are the iPAD, Kindle and other PC tablets ideal for the PREEcharge?” asked Mr. Rohde. “The answer is simple,” he continued. “The surface area of an iPhone is 10.39 square inches, and the surface area of an iPAD is 71.41 square inches. More surface area means bigger circuit boards, more antennas for receiving wireless signals, and ultimately a lot more power. In fact, if this proportion holds, the PREEcharge could have the potential to generate seven times more power for the iPAD than it makes for the iPhone,” he concluded.
According to Apple, users can run the iPAD for up to 10 hours while surfing the web on Wi-Fi, watching videos, or listening to music. With the PREEcharge technology, it is expected that battery life can be substantially increased to meet the high power needs of today’s tablet PC users.
The wireless tablet PC market is expected to grow at alarming rates in the coming years. While 305.8 million units shipped worldwide in 2009, Gartner forecasts 2010 shipments to reach 366.1 million units, with spending reaching $245 billion — an increase of 12.1 percent over 2009 spending.
Further, the tablet PC space, rejuvenated by the Jan. 27 introduction of the Apple iPad, is being reconsidered by many, according to Gartner, and 2010 could see shipments of up to 10.5 million “tablets and next-generation tablet devices” worldwide. Technology researcher, Gartner, delivers technology research to global technology business leaders to make informed decisions on key initiatives.
