Abstract: An apparatus was developed for treatment of biomass in which reactants are added to biomass and the biomass mixture is moved through the apparatus without compacting under force of a non-compacting piston. Treatment systems used in this reactor result in effectively treated biomass that is particularly suitable for subsequent saccharification to produce fermentable sugars.

Abstract: A strain of xylose-utilizing Zymomonas was engineered with a genetic modification to the glucose-fructose oxidoreductase gene resulting in reduced expression of GFOR enzyme activity. The engineered strain exhibits reduced production of xylitol, a detrimental by-product of xylose metabolism.lt also consumes more xylose and produces more ethanol during mixed sugar fermentation under process-relevant conditions.

Abstract: A method for screening silicon-based wafers (104, 106) used in the photovoltaic industry (110) is provided herewith. The wafers (104, 106) are placed on a conveyor belt (102), which carries the wafers through an illumination zone (112), and wherein each wafer receives a beam of light. Wafers having fatal cracks (114) may break as a result of the thermal stress, and so may be eliminated from further processing.

Abstract: An L-arabinose utilizing yeast strain is provided for the production of ethanol by introducing and expressing bacterial araA , araB and araD genes. L-arabinose transporters are also introduced into the yeast to enhance the uptake of arabinose. The yeast carries additional genomic mutations enabling it to consume L-arabinose, even as the only carbon source, and to produce ethanol. Methods of producing ethanol include utilizing these modified yeast strains.

Abstract: An adaptive for adjusting blade (312) pitch angle angle, and cotnrollers (350) implementing such method, for achieving higher pow coefficients. Average power coefficients are determined for first and second periods of operation for the wind tubine (310). When th average power coefficient for the second time period is larger than for the first, a pitch increment, which may generated based on th power coefficients, is added (or the sign is retained) to the nominal pitch angle value for the wind turbine (310). When the average power coefficient for the second time period is less than for the first, the pitch increment is subtracted (or the sign is changed). A control signal is generated based on the adapted pitch angle value and is sent to blade pitch actuators (318) that act to change the pit angle of the wind turbine (310) to the new or modified pitch angle setting, and this process is iteratively performed.
