Worldwide need for alternatives to fossil fuels has driven significant research effort toward the development and scale-up of sustainable forms of energy. Second-generation biofuels, obtained from the breakdown of lignocellulosic biomass (e.g., agricultural residues), present a promising alternative. In biofuel production, the enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose to glucose is currently one of the most expensive steps in the biochemical breakdown of lignocellulosic biomass. Economic considerations for large-scale implementation of this process demand operation at high solids loadings of biomass (u003e15\% (w/w)) due to potential for higher product concentrations and reduction of water usage throughout the biorefining process. In the high-solids regime, however, biomass slurries form a high viscosity, non-Newtonian slurry that introduces processing challenges, especially during the initial stages of hydrolysis (liquefaction), due to the low availability of water in the bulk phase. Furthermore, a concomitant reduction in glucose yields with increase in solids loadings has been observed, a phenomenon that is not well understood, but if overcome could hold the key to achieving desirable yields during hydrolysis. In order to better understand liquefaction, a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) rheometer was used to perform in-line, in situ, real-time, and noninvasive studies on biomass slurries undergoing enzymatic hydrolysis. Batch and fed-batch experiments were done on lignocellulosic and cellulosic substrates with both purified and mixtures of enzymes, under various reaction conditions. The mechanism of liquefaction was found to be decoupled from the mechanism of saccharification. In addition, end product inhibition was found to have an impact on both saccharification and liquefaction during the initial stage of hydrolysis, which has an impact on scale-up of hydrolysis processes. Lastly, to address and overcome high-solids limitations, a fed-batch liquefaction process based on using real-time slurry yield stress as a process control variable was designed and tested with a delignified cellulosic substrate. The timing of enzyme addition relative to biomass addition influenced process efficiency, and the upper limit of solids loading was ultimately limited by end product inhibition. The impact of these findings on process kinetic modeling and scale-up are also discussed.

Datos breves biograficos Nacio en el ano 1939 en el barrio San Antonio del pueblo de Quebradillas en la Isla de Puerto Rico. Quedo huerfano de padre cuando tenia un ano y medio. Fue criado por su madre con las siguientes amonestaciones acerca de su padre, quien se llamaba tambien Jose: Tu padre hacia todas las cosas bien; era muy responsable en todo; toda la comunidad lo respetaba y era muy servicial. Su nombre \"Cardona,\" lo identificaba con una buena reputacion en el barrio. Ya viviendo en Bridgeport, CT y habiendo cumplido los 20 anos se caso con Adelaida y empezaron a formar una familia. Contaban con tres hijas cuando recibio el llamado de Dios para servirle y decidio comenzar la preparacion para servir a Dios; ya habia cumplido los 26 anos. Preparacion y servicio a Dios Graduado del Seminario Hispanoamericano de San Antonio, Texas y de la Universidad Mid-America de Kansas.

The author, Jose Cardona, knows firsthand of the dangerous consequences of trusting a so-called ¿doctor¿ or psychiatrist. Only because he suffered with insomnia and anxiety, caused by the paints he used in his painting and decorating business, he was immediately prescribed Dalmane, a benzodiazepine, which is a very addictive, lethal, mind-altering drug. He experienced the horrors of being withdrawn ¿cold turkey¿ from it by another so-called doctor, or psychiatrist, and barely survived with his sanity and life, to warn people about these ¿licensed¿ drug dealers and ¿licensed¿ drug pushers.

The Popular Gospels of Prosperity, and of Salvation by works, are not Biblical! Do not be deceived and scammed out of your hard earned money by preachers of these false gospels, preachers who are only after your money, and are out to control your life, and are as false as the \"unchristian\" gospels they preach!
