THE EXISTING US Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) makes commercial-scale cellulosic ethanol a priority, calling for 16 billion gallons of cellulosic biofuel production by 2022, sourced from grasses, trees, agricultural residues, and municipal waste. The US Department of Energy “US Billion-Ton Update” study (Downing et al. 2011) suggests that to meet the mandates in the RFS, approximately 66 million...
متن کاملPhysics 215 B QFT Winter 2018 Assignment
(a) Consider scattering of an electron (e−) and a positron (e) into e−e+ (so a = b in the notation above). We wish to consider the contribution to the imaginary part of the amplitude for this process which is proportional to QeQ 2 μ where Qe and Qμ are the electric charges of the electron and muon (which are in fact numerically equal but never mind that). Draw the relevant Feynman diagram, and ...

متن کاملHome advantage in the Winter Olympics (1908-1998).
We obtained indices of home advantage, based on the medals won by competing nations, for each event held at the Winter Olympics from 1908 to 1998. These indices were designed to assess home advantage while controlling for nation strength, changes in the number of medals on offer and the performance of 'non-hosting' nations. Some evidence of home advantage was found in figure skating, freestyle ...
