Rail Transportation Of Ethanol: Will There Be Enough Capacity?John Schmitter
The document discusses whether there will be enough rail capacity to transport increasing volumes of ethanol. It summarizes that railroads have been making large investments in capacity expansion and are expected to continue doing so to meet demand. Railroads currently have monopoly or duopoly power over most routes, which allows them to maintain pricing discipline and prioritize more profitable shipments like unit trains. However, capacity issues could temporarily arise if demand increases sharply. The outlook could also change if the ethanol industry struggles financially, regulations alter railroad pricing, or proposed legislation expands rail infrastructure.
The document describes various Al's Day events held by different offices in 2010 and 2009, where employees volunteered in their local communities. Some of the events discussed include employees in Chicago helping to clean a conservation area, the London office climbing mountains to raise money for cancer support, the Orange County team helping at a local shelter, and the Dubai team organizing games for a special needs institution.

The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
Our team worked with Legacy and other organizations to launch the truth® youth smoking prevention campaign, which included events like the truth summit and truth tour. truth® significantly reduced youth smoking rates and is considered one of the most effective social marketing campaigns. We also managed publicity for the "Bob Quits" and "Mary Quits" campaigns which told the real stories of people quitting smoking through online reality shows. These efforts generated over 17 million media impressions. We developed national and local media strategies for the EX® smoking cessation resource, generating over 193 million impressions for its launch. We helped create a youth activism program through initiatives like a speaker's bureau and advocacy internships, training over 20,000 youth. We also simplified complex research

Over the past 20 years or so I have been reading, studying, talking and writing about the work of my namesake: Prof. Carroll Quigley. For forty years he lectured, finally obtaining a Professorship at the School of Foreign Service, Georgetown University, Washington. During his Presidency Bill Clinton, a former student, quoted Quigley extensively on such matters as history, political structure and foreign policy. Prof. Quigley's seminal work "Tragedy and Hope" was a watershed in contemporary understanding of the history of the West, in general, and the United States, in particular. In this book Carroll Quigley explained his understanding of the realpolitik of power structures of the world and many might say this cost him dearly. However, his perspective on life was that you should endeavour to do your best, regardless of consequences. In 1976, one month before he died, he delivered a series of three lectures on one central topic "Public Authority and the State in the Western Tradition: A Thousand Years of Growth 976-1976. Remarkably, 32 years later, this lecture series is timely.

2. 4.1. Introducció
Malgrat que en un primer moment, no hi han gaires
motius per sentir-se identificat amb els vegetals, la
qüestió següent ens resulta innegable: l’aigua és
imprescindible per a la vida. Ho és per a nosaltres i per
a qualsevol ésser viu sobre el planeta Terra.
Les plantes contenen un percentatge d’aquest fluid molt
més elevat que nosaltres els humans (i que els animals
en general), però els usos són els mateixos en ambdós
casos: nutrició, estructura i transport de substàncies i partícules a través de conductes
interns.
Pel que fa a la funció de nutrició, l’aigua (H2O) s’utilitza
juntament amb el diòxid de carboni (CO2) en el procés de la fotosíntesi
per crear la substància més important per la vida de les plantes: la
glucosa (sucre o glúcids).
Les cèl·lules, tant vegetals a com animals, tenen la necessitat
d’aigua per a formar-se, donat que proporciona volum a aquests
elements. És aquí on queda destacada la seva importància estructural.
Els minerals del sòl no podrien ser absorbits per les plantes si
no estiguessin diluïts en aigua. Els nutrients que s’obtenen del
substrat, per mitigar de les arrels, sent l’aigua la que fa que circulin per
l’interior de la tija (formant en conjunt la saba bruta) fins les fulles. I
d’aquí ja en forma de saba elaborada es reparteix cap a les diferents
part del vegetal.
És doncs comprensible, que quanta més aigua tingui a l’abast una planta (sense superar
ni apropar-se als nivells que poden resultar-li nocius), podrà satisfer en major grau
aquestes tres accions. En especial la primera, ja que la segona, creiem, només es
realitza en la mesura necessària (mentre el vegetal pugui accedir a una quantitat bàsica) i
la tercera depèn de la quantitat de minerals, i no de l’aigua.
Pàgina 13
3. 4.2. Hipòtesi
Sabent que l’aigua és imprescindible per als éssers vius i que en el cas de les plantes en
concret les no llenyoses, representa el 95% (aprox.) de la seva constitució, modificarem
la velocitat de creixement dels subjectes variant-ne la quantitat que en reben.
Creiem que el grup que rebi més quantitat d’aigua (sense proporcionar a cap d’ells menys
de la que necessiten ni sobrepassar la quantitat màxima que poden suportar) en sortirà
més beneficiada.
4.3. Experimentació
Aquet experiment consisteix en agafar dos grups de quinze subjectes cada un. Plantem
els dos grups de llavors prèviament germinades (per estalviar temps) en dos testos amb
terra, en les mateixes condicions.
Els subjectes del grup 1 es troben permanentment envoltats d’un substrat humit. Això
hauria d’aportar-els-hi una reserva contínua; pel contrari les plantes del grup 2 només
disposaran d’aigua de forma periòdica, deixarem que aquesta s’evapori i quan el substrat
estigui bastant sec es deixaran passar dos dies fins que es tornin a regar.

2na setmana:
Tan en el grup 1 com en el 2 hi ha varies llavors que encara no han germinat.
En el test del grup 2, una llavor sense brot sobresurt del substrat, possiblement
per un error comès a l’hora de ser plantada, o per l’acció de l’aigua al regar-la.

4.5. Conclusions
L’experiment ha transcorregut tal i com indica la hipòtesi.
Les plantes del grup 1 que rebien aigua a diari han crescut de mitjana 2,84 cm més que
les del grup 2 que en rebien nomes cada tres dies.

A l’iniciar l’experiment els subjectes del grup 2 eren una mica més grans que els del grup
1, això es un fet casual, les llavors dels dos grups es van fer començar a germinar juntes i
més tard es van repartir aleatòriament entre els dos testos, però sense que ens
n’adonéssim va coincidir que les plantes del grup 2 eren mínimament més grans. De
seguida les plantes del grup 1 van començar a créixer a una major velocitat i van igualar i
superat les del grup 2. La diferencia entre tots dos grups de plantes va anar augmentant
durant el transcurs de l’experiment i si aquest hagués durat més temps segurament
hauria continuat fent-ho d’igual forma.
