{image_1} As Japan continues to pick up the pieces after its devastating earthquake and tsunami, Israeli geologists have unveiled a new tool that allows researchers to learn critical lessons for the future by understanding patterns of seismic activity in the past. Developed by Professor Shmuel Marco of Tel Aviv University, the tool, which he calls a “fossil seismograph,” examines geological formations to find historical patterns of earthquakes reaching far back into the ancient past.

{image_1} Old, used tires are an environmental nuisance, but now a new “green” project in Israel intends to recycle the rubber from old tires and use as many as 1,400 tires per kilometer of new paved highway. In a pilot trial, a 1.1 kilometer [0.68 mile] section of road was paved using an experimental mixture that included hundreds of recycled tires and a blend of asphalt. At no greater cost than paving a regular road, this new product can increase the life of the pavement by one-third without, the developers believe, compromising safety.

{image_1}Researchers from Tel Aviv University [TAU] are working on a nasal two-in-one vaccine that could protect against both Alzheimer's disease and stroke. The proposed vaccine appears to repair vascular damage in the brain by rounding up “troops” from the body's own immune system. The vaccine not only has a preventative function but could also help fight Alzheimer's symptoms that are already present. This breakthrough is of extraordinary interest to American pharmaceutical makers, given that one in eight Americans will develop the memory-loss disease and because it is often associated with vascular damage in the brain.

{image_1} Worldwide, the need for clean drinking water is overwhelming. Only 0.74% of the world's water is safe for drinking, and some 2 billion people either lack access to sufficient quantities of water or are supplied with unsafe water. It is estimated that about 1.6 million children under the age of five die from drinking untreated water in developing nations.

{image_1}The first software in the world to receive an endorsement from the Global Eco-labeling Network (GEN) was developed by Preton, a Tel Aviv startup that provides print optimization software for business and home users. Last year, a leading independent lab analyst in the printing and imaging industry dubbed Preton “the most recommended solution for saving money and going green.” Independent investigation verified the company's claim of nearly 70% cost savings. The patent-pending software optimizes the use of toner and ink and provides a printing management system.

{image_1} Each year, it is estimated that several thousand epilepsy patients in the United States alone will die or suffer severe brain damage from an unattended epileptic seizure. There is an urgent need for patients to be able to notify caregivers about the onset of a seizure. Studies have shown that getting care during a seizure can prevent many more serious problems. However, someone in the grip of an attack, particularly a child, cannot call for help.

“Spectacles” have been around for at least 700 years, and while they seem to have been doing an adequate job, they have several disadvantages, such as limiting focus, reducing the usable field of view, and color distortion. Ze'ev Zalevsky, a Bar Ilan University professor, is the inventor of a unique system to help improve the eyesight of those suffering from presbyopia, the weakening of the ability to focus on near objects. Rather than make do with the partial solutions available today, he suggests a monofocal lens, which can focus light from between 13 inches away up to the horizon.

Last year, TransPharma Medical, an Israeli specialty pharmaceutical company, completed a successful clinical trial using its new ViaDerm System for the treatment of osteoporosis. However, the system is designed to be used for any number of drug substances and is currently being tested on three. It is very user- friendly and intended for home use.
