The major bottleneck for lipid extraction from the wet microalgae is the low extraction efficiency, because of the immiscibility of nonpolar organic solvents with water contained in wet microalgae {Yoo, 2012 #31} {Kim, 2013 #118}. Traditional method for lipid extraction from dry biomass uses a co-solvent system, which consist of a non-polar solvent and polar solvent {Halim, 2012 #7} {Kim, 2013 #118}. When the co-solvent system is directly applied to wet microalgal biomass, the microalgal cells…

Ideologies in the Mirror According to the political compass test we were assigned to take, I am a left libertarian; both my economic and social beliefs fell left of the scale. Given what I know about ideologies thus far, I 'm not surprised by these results. I 've often tended to side with more liberal sides of debates and have taken a few of these tests before in previous history classes. Whenever I do take tests like these, I often reflect back on why I hold the views that I do. Most of these…

A lush thriving metropolis, and a dark dank slum. Both of these house humans, but the difference is only one has energy. Energy is fundamental to the way people live their lives. Where energy, and specifically electricity, are available and reliable, homes, businesses, and governments can thrive. But when energy is unreliable, families struggle, businesses go bankrupt, and governments turn to anarchy. Is energy the only difference between these two extremes? No, but few understand how much…

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Lignocellulose Lignocellulose is the major component of biomass that has been generated through various agricultural practices, forest and industry (Anwar, Gulfraz and Irshad, 2014; Collard and Blin, 2014). It can be used as primary or secondary energy source to produce biofuel (Zeller and Grass, 2007). Table 1.1 illustrates the various sources of lignocellulosic biomass from the several sector with some examples. Lignocellulosic materials consist mainly of three…

flame length. The results collected when testing the length of the carbon chain affecting energy output partially indicates that as the length of the carbon chain increased there was a reduction in flame size. The results above stipulate that when ethanol (C_2 H_6 OH) is burned it produced a greater flame length with an average of 7cm then Butanol (C_4 H_9 OH) with an average of 5cm and Hexanol (C_6 H_14 OH) with an average of 5.33cm which produced significantly lower averages due to the less…

How a person copes with stress varies from person to person. While some people may work out to relieve stress, another individual may choose to partake in alcohol consumption. There have been many studies to date that study whether or not higher stress leads to more alcohol consumption in adults. Through my review of many literary sources, I have found that there is indeed a connection between stress in adults and their alcohol consumption. Alcohol consumption among adults has varying statistics…

Alcohol has been around longer than anyone can even remember. It has been linked with multiple unfortunate medical conditions and troubled relationships throughout history. It is also one of the main causes of many community mishaps. Alcohol consumption delivers many adverse consequences that affect the relationship, mental power and physical health of users. Even though no one really knows the exact time alcoholic beverage was actually invented or came into production many researchers…

On 7/16/2015, at 1933 hours, I was on duty, in uniform, and driving a marked police vehicle (0913). I was dispatched to the Clallam County Public Library (2210 S Peabody Street - which is in the city limits of Port Angeles, Clallam County, Washington State) on report of a male outside that was refusing to leave. The reporting party did not see the male consuming alcoholic beverage, but reported that he smelled as though he had consumed alcoholic beverage. I arrived in the area at 1935 hours.…

The use of alcohol depends on an individual’s social, cultural, or religious…
