Introduction to Ethanol:

There are several different kinds of fuels that are used in automobiles and they all have their pros and cons. Ethanol, also known as ethyl alcohol is a commonly used fuel of automobiles that serves as a biofuel additive for gasoline. It is the same alcohol that is used in liquor or beverage drinks. Modern day vehicles are made such that they can run on 100% of ethanol without any addition of substance. This fuel is majorly extracted from sugarcane.

Advantages of Ethanol:

The first and most important advantage of using ethanol in vehicles are that it has a very ...

The paper also gives the various applications for the smart food packaging technologies.

Oxygen Absorbers

Oxygen absorbers/scavengers refer to smart packaging technologies that work by absorbing oxygen from foods while reducing oxygen metabolism in the packaged food (Latou et al. 2010). The process is designed to decrease oxidative rancidity and stop any unintended oxidation of ...

E85 is a fuel form that contains 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline. Ethanol is a renewable fuel derived from organic matter through fermentation. In the United States, ethanol is produced from plants such as corn, grasses, and sugarcane (Ethanol par. 1). Ethanol blended fuels such as E85 are deemed desirable as they reduce overdependence on fossil fuels and lower greenhouse emissions from vehicles. The economy has been receptive to blended fuels as consumption rose from 1.7 to 13.2 billion gallons between 2001 and 2013. However, ethanol use is contentious because the fuel can only be used in flexible-fuel cars. Also, ethanol ...

Briefing Paper 1

a.) The “act of state doctrine” provides that a court in the United States, cannot pass judgement on the actions of a foreign government taken within their own country or territory that it has jurisdiction over (Cheeseman, 2012). In essence, the doctrine bars U.S. courts from interfering in the domestic policy actions of another government in their own country.
b.) Under a communist theory of the world, the government of Cuba did act ethically when it appropriately the Glens’ property. From an American perspective, the expropriation was not only ethically questionable but most likely illegal. Club Med, under the ...

Introduction

In the adsorption-membrane hybrid system for ethanol steam reforming: Thermodynamics analysis by Dang, Amornchai, Yaneeporn, and Suttichai, (2011, International Journal of Hydrogen Energy), the authors seek to explain how an adsorption-membrane hybrid system, which uses a carbon (IV) oxide as an adsorbent can be used to eliminate unwanted carbon (IV) oxide in the hydrogen separation process. The authors aimed at improving the ethanol steam reforming performance through comparison of thermodynamic analysis that comprised of adsorptive, as well as membrane reactor. Then the authors were able to find that membrane separation process for the hydrogen removal had a higher impact ...

Food and Agriculture

The use of modern technology in food production in the United States has led to mechanization and the production of agrochemicals that kill weeds and pests and act as crop fertilizers. This has resulted in farms shifting to monoculture as a preferred method of crop production. This method involves the use of large tracts of land to produce the same species of crops every year. Modern Biotechnology has also enabled the creation of Genetically Modified Organism that are crops whose genetic structure have been artificially modified to give them some desired characteristics.
The use of monoculture as a method ...

According to scientific American, only two out of ten ears of corn are used as human food. The rest (8) are used as a source of ethanol and as animal feeds. They share the percentage of the remainder in half. In the past one year, five billion bushels have been used for human and animal consumption, while 5.5 billion other bushels were used for fuel. They continue by clarifying that the American farmers are now using little amount of corn on animal feed while the US bio fuel industry has increased its use of corn as a source of energy. This ...

Introduction/ Thesis

Ethanol is the main ingredient in alcohol. It is also the ingredient that makes a person drunk and can be found in grapes and grains after they have been fermented and their sugars digested by yeasts. The ethanol in alcohol can have a number of powerful effects on a person’s mind and body. The use of alcohol can lower inhibitions by reducing shyness allowing them to act more freely, this can result in them doing things that they later regret. This paper will argue that despite the negative cogitations that surround alcohol consumption that there are positive benefits ...

Abstract
In today's fast moving constantly changing world every person might need some certain means for relaxation once in a while, thus, it will be very difficult to find a person who has never tasted alcohol in his life. Alcohol is one of the lightest forms of addictive substances, but still the danger of becoming addicted is huge, especially if drink alcoholic beverages on a usual basis. Of course it does not mean that our human body has any physical need for alcoholic beverages at all. This need, if appeared, is only psychological, that is why psychological programming is extremely popular ...

Biofuels are fuels in the gaseous or liquid form and can be rapidly regenerated from sources like crops, plants and municipal waste. Existing biofuels are generated from carbohydrates such as sugar and starch (wheat and sugarcane crops). Existing biofuels, such as ethanol, have a lesser energy content (volumetric energy density) relative to conventional hydrocarbon fuels natural gas and petroleum . Furfural and Levulinic acid are molecules that can be obtained from biomass and converted into biofuels. Levulinic acid can be synthesized in greater amounts (>70%) from inedible hexose bio-polymers such as cellulose, which is a polymer of glucose ...

The extreme dependence of our present day civilization on Fossil Fuels is a matter of much debate. Coal, natural gas and oil accounted for 87 percent of the world's primary energy consumption, predominantly led by the US as the largest consumer of these fuels. (Cusick, 2013) The US leads the race in the use of these fuels with other emerging nations too vying for the spot. In the US, the recent discovery of shale gas has ensured that the US will continue to dominate the global scene in the usage of conventional fossil fuels. Further, the US has also seen a ...

It would be tough to choose between the positives and negatives of an electric car, because along with the number of positives it carries, it does have its share of negatives as well. However, going by the popular view that with gasoline depleting and carbon emission increasing, electric cars would be best suited for modern transport; the positives undoubtedly outnumber the negatives. As the world population grows, the need for housing and food has slowly by surely started eating into the forests, and man finds himself fighting for space with animals. As growth has to be supplemented by development, ...

Therefore it Should be Illegal

Coffee has become the liquid gold of the world; in the article, “Coffee as a Social Drug,” it is clearly stated that coffee is a globalized drug; therefore coffee should be declared illegal and taken from the market.
The first warm drink that almost all children are exposed to is chocolate and as he or she gets older and enter adolescences he or she is introduced to coffee. Once presented, with coffee a lifelong intimate relationship is formed and going without it is unthinkable. Coffee is the one drug that does not have any social barrier; the rich enjoys it and ...

Bio-fuels

Bio-fuel is a form of energy which is obtained from renewable animal and plant materials. They include; Ethanol, biodiesel, green diesel and biogas. The development of bio-fuels can be categorized into three generations; the first, second and third. Bio-fuel crops such as sunflower, corn, sugarcane, and rapeseed are used to directly produce and process the first generation of bio-fuels. A good example is ethanol. In the United States, ethanol is manufactured from corn, whereas in Brazil sugarcane is used. In the case of second generation, bio-fuels are manufactured from plant lingo-cellulosic materials. Agricultural waste materials, forestry, poplar, willow, perennial grasses ...

Law of Conservation

The law of conservation describes the way that energy is not lost or created but cycled through the energy system. That means that energy moves in a closed system unless energy is added or subtracted. Even though energy moves through a closed system it can be converted from one type of energy into a different type of energy. Kinetic energy is the amount of energy minus the potential energy. When a car sits at the top of a hill there is potential energy present, when the car gets shoved down the hill that is kinetic energy. Both geothermal and coal can ...

Guo (2012) gives the explanation for the concept of price elasticity of demand. It is simple and, when you think of it, obvious. With a very few exceptions, price increases will drive demand down. Interestingly enough, the controversy over EpiPens in the news today provides a good example of price elasticity of demand. The classic example is a drug addict or the slightly less addicted cigarette smoker. Price was essentially irrelevant to demand to these groups of consumers.
The converse condition is also, then, true. Products that are commodities are essentially perfectly price elastic. Gas wars, for example, are ...

A drug is a substance that brings about physiological effects when introduced into the body of a human being. Drug analysis deals with the technical process of determining the presence or the absence of particular parent drugs or in other words their metabolites. Drugs are classified into various groups, and these include depressants, stimulants, and hallucinogens. For an individual to use these types of drugs, various reasons may contribute to this and can be elaborated through specific theories.
Depressants are drugs that when introduced to the body lowers the neural transmission levels thus depressing the stimulation or arousal in ...

In most cases, hypolactasia (lactase deficiency) appears during the early childhood stage, and gradually increases in intensity as age increases. Note that the lactase enzyme (lactase-phlorhizin hydrolase) is an enzyme enabling the digestion and absorption of lactose, a carbohydrate found in dairy products and other food sources, which include milk and cheese. As effect, individuals with lactase deficiency experience lactose maldigestion (or malabsorption) when eating food rich in lactose. This symptom is most commonly referred to as lactose intolerance.
A common characteristic of hypolactasia is that the condition first manifests as early as childhood. The condition can be diagnosed ...

Introduction

Sharp fluctuation in oil price since the 1970s and its impact on the economy, both macro and micro, have gained huge attention from scholars. Speculative factors alongside immense instability in demand and supply have caused an aggressive increase in oil prices, especially in the previous decades (Hacioglu & Dincer, 2013). Thus, research on this issue intensified and a number of studies tried to explain the core relationship between oil prices and price levels in the economy. In relation to this, researchers have analysed the correlation between oil prices and manufacturing or industrial production, oil prices and balance of trade, oil ...

There is a strong association between alcohol consumption and development of cancer. Data from 2009 suggested that alcohol consumption was responsible for approximately 3.5% of all cancer deaths in the US (Nelson et al., 2013). In addition, alcohol-associated cancers were responsible for 17.0 to 19.1 years of potential life lost for each death (Nelson et al., 2013). The chances of developing alcohol-related cancer are higher among persons with higher regular alcohol intake over time. Alcoholism might influence the development of cancer depending on the quantity of alcohol consumed and duration of that consumption.
The risk of developing alcohol-related cancer ...

Question 1: Comparing alcohol problems in the United States among adolescents and adults as compared to the 1970s in the United States as well as other societies today

Viewing the long-term per capita alcohol consumption in any community or society provides the historical outlook of the alcoholic beverage consumption among the members of that particular community or society. Currently, the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism publishes the annual surveillance report on the per capita ethanol consumption. Te results of these reports indicate that, considering three alcoholic beverages such as spirits, wine, and beer, the historical trends ...

Energy is the most important aspect in modern world, as the dependency on energy is inseparable from people’s life. Furthermore, the needs to travel using automobiles create an insatiable need for fossil fuel to power the movements. Unfortunately, fossil fuel is a non-renewable resource that is estimated to be depleted in 2042 (Shafiee and Topal 181). From environmental point of view, fossil fuel combustion from diesel and gasoline vehicles has high contribution to the pollution level in urban areas (Chow and Watson 222). In addition to the pollution level, combustion of fossil fuel releases CO2 a greenhouse gas that contributes ...

Introduction

The United States of America is one of the leading countries where fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas are used to satisfy more or less 80% of the energy needs. Fossil fuels are utilized extensively for heating homes, running vehicles, providing power to the industrial sector, and for other significant purposes, especially the provision of electricity. However, it is also not an untold secret that the fossil fuels will eventually reduce considering the known reserves of the mentioned fossil fuels. It is also apparent that there has been a considerable increase in the costs related to the ...

Abstract

All cells in a living organism require energy to drive various cellular activities such as transport of molecules and movement among others. The rate of cellular respiration may be affected by the substrate concentration, pH level and enzyme concentration among other factors. This experiment aimed to study the rate of cellular respiration in isolated mitochondria under different conditions. It was hypothesized that if the concentration of the substrate is increased then there will be an increase in the rate of cellular respiration. Mitochondrial suspension was used as the source of succinate that was used as the substrate. The level of ...

There are four transitions of food production that cultures have utilized. The first is foraging where people hunt wild animals and gather plants. The second is pastoralism where people herd domesticated animals. The third is horticulture where people farm in small scales. The last is intensive agriculture where people also farm but in a larger scale (O’Neil).
Each of these types uses at least one of the three main power sources of agricultural mechanization. The first is human power. The second is animal power, and the third is mechanical power. These mechanizations, especially the machineries from the third ...
