Historic figures of science and mathematics have legacies that still ring true today and apply to modern day industry.

Biomass is an environmentally clean alternative for producing fuels, chemicals, and bioproducts. Why then do we hear about cleaning or even washing biomass on occasion? Last week, I helped my wife preserve some of the bounty of our garden by canning bushels of tomatoes. There is nothing like fresh vegetables out of the garden. When I [...]
Short rotation woody crops are woody tree species that have been bred and selected to have extremely high rates of growth, allowing them to be harvested after a short growing period. They are an ideal feedstock component for biomass supply chains. While many hardwood species have full management rotations that may approach 50 years or [...]

For the most part, you put in a well sloped cylindrical cone bottom in storage bins and mechanically conveyed with belts and conveyors. Materials dropped and flowed well. [...]
Most companies have a safety incentive program. In theory, it makes sense: reward your employees for staying safe. But what we’ve come to learn is that how you administer your incentive program and the factors you base your results on make all the difference in the world.
