Project LIBERTY aims to integrate cellulosic ethanol production with existing corn-based ethanol production. It will build the first commercial-scale cellulosic ethanol biorefinery using corn cobs as a feedstock. The project expects to produce 25 million gallons of ethanol annually from corn cobs and fiber, increasing total ethanol production from corn. It received an $80 million grant from the Department of Energy to design, construct, and operate the biorefinery.
This document discusses machinery innovations needed to meet the increasing demand for biomass harvesting to support expanding biofuel markets. It summarizes Iowa State University's role in supporting the development of corn stover supply chains and biorefineries. The document outlines several innovations including increased harvest rates through baler improvements, higher density bales, single-pass harvesting machines, windrowing corn headers, and telematics to increase efficiency. It also reviews a case study on corn stover production costs and sensitivity analysis showing the largest cost factors are related to baling and feedstock supply operations. The goal is to reduce gate-delivered corn stover costs from $122 per tonne to $52 per tonne through strategies like reducing collection areas and
This document summarizes DuPont's 2014 corn stover harvest from 60,000 acres in central Iowa. The harvest occurred from September 26th to December 7th, spanning 72 days, due to a late corn planting season with rain, drizzle and snow. Corn stover provides both conservation benefits like reducing soil erosion and maintaining soil organic matter, but also has agronomic limitations like interfering with early crop growth. Field trials showed improved soil conditions at planting and faster stand establishment with stover harvest. On average, stover harvest increased corn yields by 5.2 bushels per acre. A financial analysis estimated farmers could gain $32 per acre in net profit from stover income, fertilizer replacement value, and yield increases.

International Agricultural Robots Forum - 18/19 November 2016.
Naïo Technologies shared their view on agricultural robotics, which aim to improve access to healthy food for all, while respecting the environment.
“Over the last 60 years, world population has grown from 2 to 6.5 billion people. On the time scale of humanity, this increase is simply staggering,” stated Gaëtan Séverac, the Naïo Technologies COO. “Food is widely available in large quantities, but the increase in production has entailed undesirable consequences: a decrease in quality, a heavy burden on the environment, lots of waste and tough life conditions for farmers.” Naïo Technologies believes that the robotization of agricultural processes is inevitable to overcome these problems. Farmers will increasingly become farm managers, who will no longer have to execute repetitive tasks with little to no added value.
Subsequently, Aymeric Barthes, Naïo Technologies’ CEO, officially introduced the entire range of Naïo robots:
• The 2017 version of their -now famous- Oz robot, which weeds in between rows and is designed for vegetable, flower and tree farms. Today, 70 robots are already in use in France and across Europe;
• The Dino vegetable robot, a straddling robotic weeder for large-scale vegetable farms;
• The Ted vineyard robot, a straddling robotic weeder for vineyards;
• The Bob vineyard robot, a crawler robot for narrow vineyards.
The document is a service manual that provides wiring diagrams for trucks. It includes an example wiring diagram, an index of component wiring diagrams arranged by page number, and sections about fuses, relays, connectors, abbreviations and other reference information for the wiring diagrams. The purpose is to help technicians service vehicles by providing electrical system schematics.
This document discusses the key elements of tragedy and the tragic hero according to Aristotle. It defines tragedy as the literary representation of a serious action that ends in disaster for the protagonist. It explains that for Aristotle, the tragic hero is most effective if he is neither thoroughly good nor bad, but a mixture of both. The tragic hero must have four characteristics - nobility, a tragic flaw (hamartia), a reversal of fortune (peripetia) caused by his flaw, and recognition of his role in his downfall. Some other common traits of the tragic hero are that he suffers more than deserved, is noble but imperfect, understands his fate was self-inflicted, and arouses fear and empathy in the audience.
Elements of greek tragedy and the tragic herocafeharmon
Greek tragedy dealt with themes of love, loss, pride and the abuse of power. The protagonists typically commit a terrible crime without realizing their arrogance, and then as they realize their error, destruction ensues. Key playwrights included Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides. Satyr plays made light of tragedy's characters and were performed between tragic acts. The Greeks believed fate determined events and one should not act with excessive pride or hubris, as this could lead to downfall. Aristotle defined tragedy as evoking pity and fear through a noble protagonist's demise due to an error, bringing catharsis to audiences.
The document is a service manual for trucks that provides wiring diagrams and component information. It includes an index listing over 125 component wiring diagrams by page number. Each diagram shows the wiring for a specific component and includes symbols to identify things like connectors, fuses, splices and wire colors. The manual also includes sections with information on grounds, connectors, abbreviations and feedback.
Volvo Truck Corporation released a service bulletin providing wiring diagrams for trucks. The bulletin contains 81 pages of wiring diagrams and supporting documentation. The diagrams show electrical components, connection points, fuses, relays, and connectors. A list of 47 sub-diagrams is included, each covering a different electrical system for vehicles such as the starter, engine, lighting, and accessories.
