The demand for this compound is expected to continue increasing in the next few years. Our objective is to produce acetic acid from natural gas passing through three main units of the plant: syngas plant, methanol plant and acetic acid plant. The method that is utilized to manufacture acetic acid uses methanol and carbon monoxide as feed stocks. There are four main reactions that are taking place within the plant, one of which involves a catalyst that has a large impact on the operating cost. The quantity of acetic acid that is going to be produced is approximately 500MMlb/yr. The material balance requires 131.5 million lb/yr of natural gas; this is one of our major expenses since it is a main feed. The location of the plant has been selected to be in Ohio due to the readily available amount of shale gas. The cost estimation of the entire plant is $950 million. It is anticipated that the revenue will reach $330 million and yields a profit of $230 million. Based on our calculations and simulation, our payback period is about four years. Production of Cellulosic Ethanol using Ammonia Hydrolysis Mohammed Al Bader, Brandon Ruckman, Mashhor Aljabrine, Abdullah Alshaik, and Dan Asker Dr. Joseph Holles Department of Chemical Engineering University of Wyoming Oral Presentation Department of Chemical Engineering Laramie, WY Cellulosic ethanol is a biofuel that is produced from the inedible parts of plants. The demand for fuel sources and fuel additives such as cellulosic ethanol has become much greater due to the need for cleaner, renewable energy sources. Currently, the majority of cellulosic ethanol is made through a process known as acid hydrolysis. This is where the inedible parts of plants, such as corn stover, are treated with acid to release the sugars which can be fermented into ethanol. Although ethanol can be produced in this manner, it is not economically feasible. A more efficient method is to treat the feedstock with liquid anhydrous ammonia, known as ammonia hydrolysis. Our senior design project is to build an ethanol plant that will use this method to not only increase production of ethanol but also allow for the unfermentable parts of the plant, known as lignin, to be captured and sold as a value added by-product. One of the biggest benefits to using ammonia hydrolysis is the ability to recycle the ammonia, with only a small make-up stream, which is not possible with acid hydrolysis. Our plant will have the ability to produce a more economically feasible ethanol. Wyoming Undergraduate Research Day 2013 Page 6 Air Separation Unit to Create Zero-Emission Oxy-Combustion Energy Khalid Aldhahri, Thomas White, Daniel Marken, and Omar Alrajeh with Dr. Joseph Holles Chemical Engineering Department University of Wyoming Oral Presentation Laramie, WY The University of Wyoming has proposed the construction of a large wind tunnel that will draw 1-2 MW of electricity. This is a significant amount of energy that may affect the University and possibly all of Laramie. To avoid power outage throughout the city, the first part of the process is proposed to use a gas-powered turbine to provide the electricity for the wind tunnel. The turbine will use oxy-fuel combustion, combustion of pure oxygen as opposed to air, so that pure CO2 and water will be the sole emissions. With CO2 and water being the sole emissions our hope is we will create a suitable design for zero emission energy. The second part of the process is using an Air Separation Unit. Having an Air separation Unit will allow us to extract pure oxygen from the air. Finding an optimal method of air separation or oxygen concentration will be required to supply the oxygen for the combustion. This project is not cost effective because there are not really any products being sold. However, this project is still useful because the energy created will provide the wind tunnel its needed energy, which enhances academic prosperity.

Department of Plant Sciences/Agroecology program and 2 Department of Botany University of Wyoming Oral Presentation WyomingView Eden, WY The small town of Eden is located in the Eden Valley in southwest Wyoming. This small community, located in a semi-arid high desert region, consists mainly of agriculture. Growers in the area produce primarily Alfalfa for livestock fodder. Due to the semi-arid climate and sandy soil conditions, salt runoff into the Colorado River through irrigation caused problems prior to the 1980’s. The government established a program at this time to encourage Eden Valley farmers to change from flood to center pivot irrigation. Several growers did make the switch to center-pivot irrigation from flood irrigation system in order to minimize salt leaching from runoff waters as well as to conserve water. The research objective was to analyze the effect of the switch from flood to center pivot irrigation on crop growth through the use of Remote Sensing. Remote sensing has been used as a successful tool to analyze management practices in agricultural operations. Crop growth in a 140 acre of alfalfa grass mixture field in the Eden Valley was analyzed before (1984, 1985 and 1987) and after (1991 – 1993) the center-pivot irrigation system was installed.

    NAACL HLT 2015 2nd Workshop on Argumentation Mining Proceedings of the Workshop June 4, 2015 Denver, Colorado, USA c 2015 The Association for Computational Linguistics Order print-on-demand copies from: Curran Associates 57 Morehouse Lane Red Hook, New York 12571 USA Tel: +1-845-758-0400 Fax: +1-845-758-2633 [email protected] ISBN 978-1-941643-34-1 ii Background The goal of this workshop is to provide a follow-on forum to last year’s very successful Argumentation Mining workshop at ACL, the first research forum devoted to argumentation mining in all domains of discourse. Argumentation mining is a relatively new challenge in corpus-based discourse analysis that involves automatically identifying argumentative structures within a document, e.g., the premises, conclusion, and argumentation scheme of each argument, as well as argument-subargument and argument- counterargument relationships between pairs of arguments in the document. To date, researchers have investigated methods for argumentation mining of legal documents (Mochales and Moens 2011; Bach et al. 2013; Ashley and Walker 2013; Wyner et al. 2010), on-line debates (Cabrio and Villata 2012), product reviews (Villalba and Saint-Dizier 2012; Wyner et al. 2012), user comments on proposed regulations (Park and Cardie 2014), newspaper articles and court cases (Feng and Hirst 2011). A related older strand of research (that uses the term ’argumentative structure’ in a related but different sense than ours) has investigated automatically classifying the sentences of a scientific article’s abstract or full text in terms of their contribution of new knowledge to a field (e.g., Liakata et al.

JILL SIBLE 3 WELCOME FROM DIRECTOR OF THE OFFICE OF UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH, KERI SWABY 4 SUMMER RESEARCH PROGRAMS AT VT 5 - 8 INFORMATIONAL BOOTHS 9 ABSTRACTS (ALPHABETICAL) 10 Jill C. Sible, Ph.D. Associate Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education, Professor of Biological Sciences Welcome With great enthusiasm, I welcome all to the 2021 Summer Undergraduate Research Conference at Virginia Tech. This year is particularly exciting to feature both the work of students conducting research remotely as well those who were able to join us in person. Many students presenting today, have spent ten or more weeks immersed in a research project. Summer affords undergraduates the opportunities to dedicate significant time and effort to the planning, execution and analysis of a research project. They have also had the chance to become authentic members of research teams by working with faculty, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and research staff. Many thanks to all who have mentored undergraduates this summer. Your commitment to undergraduate research is always commendable, and especially this year given the extra challenges you overcame to offer safe and engaging research opportunities during the COVID-19 pandemic. Virginia Tech is pleased to offer these summer experiences not only to our own students, but also to undergraduates from all over the country. We hope that you have enjoyed your time working with Virginia Tech research teams, and we appreciate the diversity of ideas and cultures that you have brought to our research programs.

Man: I’d like to have an argument, please. Receptionist: Certainly, sir. Have you been here before? Man: No, this is my first time. Receptionist: I see. Do you want to have the full argument, or were you thinking of taking a course? Man: Well uh, what would be the cost? Receptionist: Well yes, it’s one pound for a five-minute argument, but only eight pounds for a course of ten. Man: Hmm, well I think it’s probably best if I start with the one and see how it goes from there, okay? Receptionist: Fine. I’ll see who’s free at the moment.
