Common Aspects of Acid Prehydrolysis and Steam Explosion for Pretreating Wood Hans E. Grethlein Michigan Biotechnology Institute‚ PO Box 27609‚ Lansing‚ Michigan 48909‚ USA & Alvin O. Converse Thayer School of Engineering‚ Dartmouth College‚ Hanover‚ New Hampshire 03755‚ USA Abstract The initial rate of hydrolysis using cellulase from Trichoderma reesei for various wood samples is directly proportional to the surface area available to the enzyme. Both dilute acid hydrolysis in a continuous

Acid Rain Introduction: Titrations are often recorded on graphs called titration curves‚ which generally contain the volume of the titrant as the independent variable and the pH of the solution as the dependent variable (because it changes depending on the composition of the two solutions). The equivalence point on the graph is where all of the starting solution (usually an acid) has been neutralized by the titrant (usually a base). One can easily find the pKa of the monoprotic acid by finding

The theory that best applies to my behavior change‚ is the self determination theory. The self determination theory looks at motivation and personality and combines aspects of behavioral self regulation as well as personality development (Ryan & Deci‚ 2000). It takes into account the psychological needs of the person‚ and also looks at a combination of these factors in order to determine the type of motivation a person has. According to Ryan and Deci‚ there are three needs that need to be met for

ACID RAIN Cantarelli‚ Ilaria García Díaz‚ Bianca Gressier‚ Emilie Martínez Rivas‚ Carmen What’s the acid rain? Acid rain is a rain or any other form of precipitaton that is unusually acidic. What causes acid rain? Acid rain is caused by the burning of fossil fuels. Burning oil‚ gas and coal in power statons releases Sulphur Dioxide into the atmosphere. Burning oil and petrol in motor vehicles puts nitrogen oxides into the atmosphere. These gases mix with water droplets in the atmosphere creatng

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Amino acids bind together to form polypeptide chains‚ and these polypeptides fold and coil together into specific conformations to form proteins. There are 20 different amino acids‚ each amino acid consisting of four distinct partners. The first is a carboxyl group. A carboxyl group has very weak acids that are able to donate hydrogen ions to biological reactions. The second partner is the amino acid group. Amino acid groups act as the base which‚

continually shows us his determination. Pip had fallen for a girl who was in a higher class than himself. He was determined to learn to read and dress of a higher class so that he could impress Estella‚ Miss Havisham’s adopted daughter. Estella was a rude upper-class woman who continually demeaned Pip. Through all the offensive remarks made towards him‚ he still stopped at nothing to impress her and win her heart. He was a very hard-working man‚ and through his hard work and determination‚ he became wealthy

With my head down‚ I put my thumbs behind my ear. Allaah Akbar‚ I said. I place my right hand over my left and began to say Subhaana ala huuma wa bihamdika… (pg 33)” The significance of this quote shows how mentally strong Aminata is‚ even though both of her parents were killed and she was captured as a slave by the toubabu.
