The viability of lignocellulosic ethanol production as a business endeavour in Canada
Creators: name: Stephen, James Duncan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: The competitiveness and operational viability of a wood-based lignocellulosic ethanol biorefinery located in Canada were assessed using techno-economic and logistical models, combined with fuel and feedstock market data analyses. Scenario analyses included the ability to compete for forest feedstocks with alternative bioenergy options; for market share with ethanol producers using alternative feedstocks (corn, sugarcane, Brazilian eucalyptus); and for financing, given the market risks and alternative investor options. The model variables used to identify the most competitive lignocellulosic ethanol production conditions included feedstock type and properties, feedstock logistics system design, facility site, facility scale, capital cost, pretreatment technology, operating tactics, co-products, ethanol and co-product revenues, enzymes and other process inputs, ethanol and co-product yields, and taxes and renewable energy support policies. It was determined that a wood-based lignocellulosic ethanol facility in Canada is technically viable, but will find sustainable profitability difficult at current energy prices and without a change in the historical volatility of those prices. Using scenario analyses, it was determined that the minimum ethanol selling price (MESP) of lignocellulosic ethanol produced from Canadian forest biomass is $0.80-1.10 L⁻¹, with most scenarios in the $0.90-0.95 L⁻¹ range. This compares with recent corn and sugarcane ethanol MESP of $0.30-0.40 L⁻¹, highlighting the difficulty of competing with these conventional biofuels. In addition, other bioenergy products, such as wood pellets and combined heat and power, will compete with lignocellulosic ethanol facilities for feedstock but offer more stable markets. Largely due to the lack of correlation between transportation fuel markets and forest feedstock costs, the gross processing margin of lignocellulosic ethanol production was shown to be decidedly volatile. This volatility results in an anticipated cost of capital (>11%) that exceeds other fuel production facilities. Although supplying large (e.g., 800 ML yr⁻¹) lignocellulosic ethanol facilities that maximize economies-of-scale (and minimize cost per unit) with feedstock is logistically possible, high feedstock costs, exceeding $100 bdt⁻¹, are projected to put Canadian producers at a disadvantage relative to tropical country producers. Significant production cost reductions must occur before lignocellulosic ethanol can compete for market share with gasoline and conventional ethanol.

Parrēsia ed exemplum. La parrēsia e i regimi aleturgici dell’exemplum a partire da L’ermeneutica del soggetto di Michel Foucault

Subjects: Michel Foucault; filosofia morale, filosofia antica; etica; soggettivazione; parrēsia; esemplarità; ascetismo

description: Questo articolo cerca di esplorare il rapporto tra parrēsia ed exemplum negli ultimi Corsi al Collège de France di Michel Foucault. A partire da L’ermeneutica del soggetto, viene analizzato il campo semantico e pratico relativo alla direzione di coscienza stoica ed epicurea, in cui Foucault oppone la parrēsia all’adulazione e alla retorica per collocarla invece all’interno di un’importante serie di concetti: la paradosis (la trasmissione dei discorsi di verità), il kairos (il momento giusto, la circostanza opportuna) e l’exemplum definito come «il cuore della parrēsia» poiché esso assicura l’adæquatio tra il soggetto di enunciazione e il soggetto di comportamento che si conforma alla verità espressa dal primo. Successivamente, viene posta l’attenzione sul legame tra parrēsia ed exemplum nell’ultimo Corso, Il coraggio della verità, per mettere in evidenza un’importante riconfigurazione all’interno della parrēsia cinica, in cui l’esempio appare come una categoria etica basata sulla permanenza e sull’identità a sé. Pertanto, esso si rivela inadeguato per questo regime aleturgico della parrēsia cinica, che invece consiste in un atteggiamento etico sperimentale, una mise à l’épreuve cui sottomettere la vita per arrivare a una trasformazione politica del mondo attraverso una continua e scandalosa provocazione degli altri, in grado di mettere in discussione la percezione di norme culturali e di abitudini consolidate.

description: In 2020, there were simultaneous increases in the number of private persons participating on the stock market as well as in the number of employees working from home. Indeed, working from home is a robust determinant of stock ownership and partially explains the increase in 2020, with households without children benefiting the most in this manner. Furthermore, the effect of working from home on stock ownership is largest for low-income earners. Thus, working more from home has complex distributional consequences: It tends to expand the stock owner base by, in a broader sense, decreasing the stock market participation cost. While economic policy should not mandate working from home for the sole purpose of increasing stock ownership, it can facilitate stock market participation in other ways, such as by improving financial education.

description: In this article, we consider the continuous analog of the celebrated Mandelbrot star equation with infinitely divisible weights. Mandelbrot introduced this equation to characterize the law of multiplicative cascades. We show existence and uniqueness of measures satisfying the aforementioned continuous equation. We obtain an explicit characterization of the structure of these measures, which reflects the constraints imposed by the continuous setting. In particular, we show that the continuous equation enjoys some specific properties that do not appear in the discrete star equation. To that purpose, we define a Lévy multiplicative chaos that generalizes the already existing constructions.

description: We extend the effective fragment molecular orbital method (EFMO) into treating fragments connected by covalent bonds. The accuracy of EFMO is compared to FMO and conventional ab initio electronic structure methods for polypeptides including proteins. Errors in energy for RHF and MP2 are within 2 kcal/mol for neutral polypeptides and 6 kcal/mol for charged polypeptides similar to FMO but obtained two to five times faster. For proteins, the errors are also within a few kcal/mol of the FMO results. We developed both the RHF and MP2 gradient for EFMO. Compared to ab initio, the EFMO optimized structures had an RMSD of 0.40 and 0.44 Å for RHF and MP2, respectively.

description: For r at least 3, p at least 2, we classify all actions of the groups Diff^r_c(R) and Diff^r_+(S1) by C^p -diffeomorphisms on the line and on the circle. This is the same as describing all nontrivial group homomorphisms between groups of compactly supported diffeomorphisms on 1- manifolds. We show that all such actions have an elementary form, which we call topologically diagonal. As an application, we answer a question of Ghys in the 1-manifold case: if M is any closed manifold, and Diff(M)_0 injects into the diffeomorphism group of a 1-manifold, must M be 1 dimensional? We show that the answer is yes, even under more general conditions. Several lemmas on subgroups of diffeomorphism groups are of independent interest, including results on commuting subgroups and flows.

description: In this paper, the chaos is analyzed and examined by means of its conversion of the chaotic series into network. The method used is phase space reconstruction. After a detailed presentation of the method of conversion of time series to network, the method is applied to chaotic time series constructed from the torus automorphism and from the Lorenz differential equation as well as to stochastic time series. All of the above analysis is carried out with plots and diagrams and network characteristics like degree distribution of the reconstructed complex network. The reason we choose degree distribution is because in many studies using phase space analysis it is claimed that the produced network is a scale free one. The purpose of this analysis is to examine whether the reconstructed networks from chaotic time series have the claimed properties. Our results confirm previous results on the degree distribution however we have found that the claims concerning degree distribution can not extended to all chaotic system as anticipated. An important advantage of this work is the fact that the data used are error-free.

Ο σκοπός αυτής της ανάλυσης είναι να διαπιστώσουμε αν τα ανακατασκευασμένα δίκτυα διατηρούν τις ιδιότητες της χαοτικής χρονοσειράς ή όχι. Τα αποτελέσματά μας επιβεβαιώνουν προηγούμενα αποτελέσματα σχετικά με την κατανομή βαθμού, ωστόσο διαπιστώσαμε πως η κατανομή βαθμού δεν μπορεί να επεκταθεί σε όλα τα χαοτικά συστήματα όπως αναμενόταν με βαση τους ισχυρισμούς που βρέθηκαν στη βιβλιογραφία. ΄Ενα σημαντικό πλεονέκτημα αυτής της εργασίας είναι το γεγονός ότι τα δεδομένα που χρησιμοποιήθηκαν είναι απαλλαγμένα από σφάλματα.

description: In mid-April 2023, the final three nuclear power plants in Germany will be taken offline permanently. At the same time, the energy crisis resulting from the Russian invasion of Ukraine has fueled calls for the construction of new nuclear reactors in Germany. A similar debate is taking place in many other countries in the context of the climate crisis. Since the 1950s, nuclear power has been one of the most expensive energy sources and remains so to this day. It is also not a quick solution, as it takes decades to build reactors. Moreover, no significant technological breakthroughs are foreseeable in the development of cost-competitive reactors; this applies to both SMR concepts (“small module reactors”) with lower capacity as well as for other types of reactors, such as fast breeder reactors. There is growing acceptance in the energy system modeling community, which previously predicted a substantial nuclear share while underestimating renewable energy sources due to overoptimistic assumptions, that there are no breakthroughs on the horizon.

To do so we study solutions to the radial and angular Teukolsky's equations with different spin weights, particulary $s=\pm 1$ representing electromagnetic perturbations, $s=\pm 1/2$ representing a perturbation by a Dirac field and $s=0$ representing perturbations by a scalar field. By analizing the properties of radial and angular eigenvalues we prove the existence of an infinite family of unstable modes.

description: We present a generalized method for calculating the k-shell structure of weighted networks. The method takes into account both the weight and the degree of a network, in such a way that in the absence of weights we resume the shell structure obtained by the classic k-shell decomposition. In the presence of weights, we show that the method is able to partition the network in a more refined way, without the need of any arbitrary threshold on the weight values. Furthermore, by simulating spreading processes using the susceptible-infectious-recovered model in four different weighted real-world networks, we show that the weighted k-shell decomposition method ranks the nodes more accurately, by placing nodes with higher spreading potential into shells closer to the core. In addition, we demonstrate our new method on a real economic network and show that the core calculated using the weighted k-shell method is more meaningful from an economic perspective when compared with the unweighted one.

description: While the gender pay gap between men and women in Germany remains at 18 percent, this figure is not the same for all employees. There are, for example, major differences by age. Beginning at age 30, the gender pay gap increases sharply and remains constantly high at 20 percent until retirement. Closely related to this is the gender care gap, the difference in unpaid care work between women and men. Based on data from the Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP), this Weekly Report shows that the gender care gap also increases up to middle age: At around nine hours per day, women between 35 and 39 perform more than twice as much care work as men of the same age. The time around the birth of a child thus remains decisive for the allocation of unpaid care work and for the wage development of many women. If policymakers want to change this, they must create incentives for a more equal distribution of care work between women and men. Expanding the number of months with parental leave benefits earmarked for each parent could be one starting point. Moreover, a reform of the joint income taxation of married couples (Ehegattensplitting) and the tax subsidies for minijob employees is also long overdue.

description: The two weight inequality for the Hilbert transform arises in the settings of analytic function spaces, operator theory, and spectral theory, and what would be most useful is a characterization in the simplest real-variable terms. We show that the $L^2$ to $L^2$ inequality holds if and only if two L^2 to weak-L^2 inequalities hold. This is a corollary to a characterization in terms of a two-weight Poisson inequality, and a pair of testing inequalities on bounded functions.

description: School-community partnerships enhance school districts’ capacity to provide effective educational services to their students. In under-resourced schools—such as small-to-mid-sized urban school districts—these partnerships play a crucial role, as resource limitations often inhibit the availability of services traditionally provided by public schools. Philanthropic foundations have played a vital role in catalyzing school-community education reform partnerships in urban school districts. Although bureaucratic challenges have limited the success of such partnerships in large urban school districts, small-to-mid-sized urban school districts are more amenable to school-community partnerships, having fewer layers of bureaucracy and greater financial need. Using correlational research methods, the present study examined the civic capacity characteristics of small-to-mid-sized urban school districts and the funding allocations of local philanthropic foundations to identify factors that delineate school districts receiving education reform grants from those not, illustrate the grantmaking preferences of local philanthropic foundations, and explain how school districts’ civic capacities are associated with their likelihood of receiving education reform grants.

subject: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This study intended to investigate how Chinese EFL learners’ reading motivation in L2 reading classrooms can be explained through the Dynamic Systems Theory (de Bot, 2008; Larsen-Freeman & Cameron, 2008). The study focused on exploring how different components of reading motivation interact with each other using a mixed method research (MMR) approach (QUAN-qual design). For the quantitative phase, a Reading Motivation Questionnaire (RMQ) and a reading comprehension test were administered to 59 freshmen Non-English major participants at Northeast Agricultural University in China. They filled out the RMQ and completed a former CET-4 reading comprehension test twice over a four-week time interval. For the qualitative phase, 10 participants were interviewed to elaborate on their reading motivation. The major findings were: (1) Chinese EFL learners were both intrinsically and extrinsically oriented to reading in English; (2) Nearly all the variables of RMQ were significantly and positively correlated with each other ranging from low to high over two RMQ administrations. Reading for grades motivation decreased significantly, which was attributable to reading outcomes and some contextual factors; (3) Reading motivation exerted no causal influence on reading outcomes but reading outcomes had a predictable influence on reading motivation. Theoretically, this study contributes to the dynamic nature and perspective of reading motivation. Practically, this study strengthens the teachers’ capability in pedagogical intervention and students’ understanding of their mental features to adjust different elements to enhance their language achievement.

description: Foucault come educatore non dirige da un luogo esterno verso di noi un insegnamento, una dottrina, piuttosto sente la responsabilità di cercare e di estrarre dal mondo «qualcosa» che possa animare l’esperienza che si fa del mondo, di mostrare da una prospettiva latente l’esperienza già fatta, come una scheggia di «reale» che nel mondo si manifesta. Foucault può essere un educatore se accettiamo che la verità è sempre ancora da fare, concretamente, che siamo sempre corresponsabili della verità che è in gioco nella nostra formazione. Può essere educatore, infatti, solo chi è disposto non tanto a «comprendere prima», ma a comprendere nuovamente ogni volta, ogni volta che si dà un’occasione formativa e a profanare eventualmente l’attualità e la solidità di quel che si sa nella condivisione del rischio e della libertà che ogni pratica di ricerca comporta.

description: We show that the effective spin-spin interaction between three-level atoms confined in a multimode optical cavity is long-ranged and sign-changing, like the RKKY interaction; therefore, ensembles of such atoms subject to frozen-in positional randomness can realize spin systems having disordered and frustrated interactions. We argue that, whenever the atoms couple to sufficiently many cavity modes, the cavity-mediated interactions give rise to a spin glass. In addition, we show that the quantum dynamics of cavity-confined spin systems is that of a Bose-Hubbard model with strongly disordered hopping but no on-site disorder; this model exhibits a random-singlet glass phase, absent in conventional optical-lattice realizations. We briefly discuss experimental signatures of the realizable phases.

description: Energy prices have risen sharply as a result of the coronavirus pandemic as well as the Russian attack on Ukraine in February 2022. The resulting consumer price inflation is forcing the European Central Bank (ECB) to act in accordance with its mandate. However, the ECB expresses doubts that it will be able to have an impact on the price increases. As this Weekly Report based on an analysis of structural relationships in the euro area emphasizes, the ECB is anything but powerless in regard to energy price developments: Following a 2022 Weekly Report that showed that fuel and heating costs generally fall in the wake of an interest rate hike, this Weekly Report identifies three channels of monetary policy through energy prices. In some cases, they have countervailing effects. However, the conclusion is clear: The ECB can actually dampen energy prices by raising the key interest rates.

description: The German Federal Government has expanded subsidies for employees with low gross wages (midijob employees) as of January 1, 2023, and raised the upper earnings limit to 2,000 euros. As a result, around 6.2 million midijob employees will benefit from paying reduced social security contributions while still receiving their full pension entitlements, made possible by a redistribution within the social insurance funds. Such redistribution, however, contradicts the equivalence principle on which the pension insurance system is based. This Weekly Report investigates the financial scope of the additional pension entitlements and how targeted this subsidy is. The statutory pension insurance (Gesetzliche Rentenversicherung, GRV) will lose revenue of around one billion euros per year as a result of the reduced contributions. Due to the midijob regulation, pension contributions are on average twelve euros a month lower per person benefiting from the subsidy. However, when viewing the subsidy by net income or individual gross hourly wages, it can be seen that this policy is poorly targeted: Individuals with high net incomes or high hourly wages but low employment levels also benefit from the subsidy. If policymakers want to redistribute funds in the statutory pension insurance system, they should readjust the redistribution to make it more targeted. To combat old-age poverty more effectively, the pension entitlements of those at risk should be targeted directly or the basic pension supplement should be expanded.

description: In a recent letter [Phys. Rev. Lett. 108, 172003 (2012), arXiv:1109.2480] we have reported on a lattice QCD calculation of the heavy-hadron axial couplings $g_1$, $g_2$, and $g_3$. These quantities are low-energy constants of heavy-hadron chiral perturbation theory (HH$χ$PT) and are related to the $B^*Bπ$, $Σ_b^*Σ_bπ$, and $Σ_b^{(*)}Λ_bπ$ couplings. In the following, we discuss important details of the calculation and give further results. To determine the axial couplings, we explicitly match the matrix elements of the axial current in QCD with the corresponding matrix elements in HH$χ$PT. We construct the ratios of correlation functions used to calculate the matrix elements in lattice QCD, and study the contributions from excited states. We present the complete numerical results and discuss the data analysis in depth. In particular, we demonstrate the convergence of $SU(4|2)$ HH$χ$PT for the axial-current matrix elements at pion masses up to about 400 MeV and show the impact of the nonanalytic loop contributions. Finally, we present additional predictions for strong and radiative decay widths of charm and bottom baryons.

description: Very recently, in the 2011 version of the Wien2K code, the long standing shortcome of the codes based on Density Functional Theory, namely, its impossibility to account for the experimental band gap value of semiconductors, was overcome. The novelty is the introduction of a new exchange and correlation potential, the modified Becke-Johnson potential (mBJLDA). In this paper, we report our detailed analysis of this recent work. We calculated using this code, the band structure of forty one semiconductors and found an important improvement in the overall agreement with experiment as Tran and Blaha [{\em Phys. Rev. Lett.} 102, 226401 (2009)] did before for a more reduced set of semiconductors. We find, nevertheless, within this enhanced set, that the deviation from the experimental gap value can reach even much more than 20%, in some cases. Furthermore, since there is no exchange and correlation energy term from which the mBJLDA potential can be deduced, a direct optimization procedure to get the lattice parameter in a consistent way is not possible as in the usual theory. These authors suggest that a LDA or a GGA optimization procedure is used previous to a band structure calculation and the resulting lattice parameter introduced into the 2011 code. This choice is important since small percentage differences in the lattice parameter can give rise to quite higher percentage deviations from experiment in the predicted band gap value.

description: A chiral quark-model approach is adopted to study the $γp\rightarrow η'p$ and $γn\rightarrow η' n$. Good descriptions of the recent observations from CLAS and CBELSA/TAPS are obtained. Both of the processes are governed by $S_{11}(1535)$ and $u$ channel background. Strong evidence of an $n=3$ shell resonance $D_{15}(2080)$ is found in the reactions, which accounts for the bump-like structure around $W=2.1$ GeV observed in the total cross section and excitation functions at very forward angles. The $S_{11}(1920)$ seems to be needed in the reactions, with which the total cross section near threshold for the $γp\rightarrow η' p$ is improved slightly. The polarized beam asymmetries show some sensitivities to $D_{13}(1520)$, although its effects on the differential cross sections and total cross sections are negligible. There is no obvious evidence of the $P$-, $D_{13}$-, $F$- and $G$-wave resonances with a mass around 2.0 GeV in the reactions.

description: In August 2022, the US Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), a comprehensive piece of legislation aiming to stimulate the US economy and to increase its resilience. At an estimated 430 billion euros, it is a massive government investment and spending program in the welfare state, federal infrastructure, climate action, and environmental protection. At the same time, the IRA is intended to secure the USA’s leading position as the largest energy producer in the long term, to support the reindustrialization of the US economy, and to provide a strong response to China’s economic and technological hegemonic aspirations. The program’s design provides enormous incentives and, in some cases, imposes obligations to relocate production to the US. These local content requirements can have a significant impact on the European economy if production is moved from the EU to the US. The IRA requires strategic economic policy responses that the EU has partially already announced, such as easing state aid rules. However, it must also make urgent changes in other areas, especially in the security of supply of critical raw materials.
