Abstract
This paper examines three issues concerning the metabolism of ethanol, one of the major forms of alcohol, and then compares how the ethanol found in beer is metabolized to how the ethanol found in the over-the-counter cold suppressant, Nyquil, gets metabolized.
From the Paper
"Although this research project concerns the metabolism of ethanol, one of the three major forms of alcohol, the major topic will discuss three distinct yet similar issues concerning the metabolism of ethanol. The first issue is the means by which the liver metabolizes ethanol the second and third issues discuss the variances involved when comparing how ethanol found in beer is metabolized with the ethanol found in one of the more popular cough suppressants. For simplicity and clarity the cough syrup being used in this study is Nyquil...."

Abstract
This paper discusses the anatomical and physiological processes of cellular metabolism and anabolism, including what each is and what each does, the distinguishing characteristics between the two, how enzymes control the metabolic process, how cells access energy for their activities, how metabolic pathways are regulated and what the metabolic pathways of carbohydrate metabolism are.
From the Paper
"Metabolism is a chemical process that is performed by any living organism, at the cellular level, in order to balance energy. This energy balance is done by processing nutrients that come into the body at the cellular level, and the end result is the maintenance of life. Metabolism, really, is a combination of two separate types of reactions. The first type of reaction that makes up metabolism is catabolism. Catabolism is a decomposition reaction and thus is exergonic, which means that this type of reaction produces more energy than it consumes. Another term for this would be exothermic, that catabolism produces heat. Catabolic reactions take the energy stored in organic molecules and release this energy. Some important catabolic reactions that take place at the cellular level are the Krebs cycle, the electron transport chain, and glycolysis. In many ways, anabolism is the opposite of catabolism. "

Abstract
The paper discusses the history of beer in early civilization, in the Middle Ages, in modern times and in America. The paper describes how the first beers were different from beer we know today; they were cloudy, bitter and perhaps even filled with mash. The paper traces how those ancient beers became transformed into one of the world's most popular beverages today.
Outline:
Introduction
Beer in Early Civilization
Beer in the Middle Ages
Beer in Modern Times
Beer in America
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Some people speculate that beer first made an appearance in the world at least 9,000 years ago, but there is no written proof to back up these claims. The first written records belong to the Sumerians, who lived in the land between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, which now encompasses Iraq. Historians believe the Sumerians discovered fermentation (the process necessary to make beer and other alcoholic beverages), totally by chance. However, they did write about their discovery, and so most historians believe the first rudimentary beers were brewed in this area."

Financial Information
From the Paper
"As far as the brewing strategies that the company uses, it must be mentioned that they are two. On the one hand, Boston Beer relies upon brewery ownership. On the other hand, it makes use of contract brewing, using the excess capacity of other breweries. This provides the company with several advantages. First and foremost, it offers it flexibility. This allows it to respond better to the market changes as well as to avoid situations that might cause crisis situations. In addition, the mix of the two strategies mentioned above provides the company with cost advantages. It is highly important to mention the fact that the company chooses its collaborators on strict criteria which reflect the very beliefs that lay at the basis of the company's functioning."

Abstract
This paper relates that Switzerland is a country with a robust economy, good prospects and no impediments to imports. The author points out that, although geographically Switzerland is land-locked and despite the presence of the Alps, excellent transit routes connect it to the Belgian Stella Artois plant. The paper relates that, politically, the country is a stable democracy with a somewhat right-wing government that actively promote business and investment by minimizing bureaucratic hindrances to foreign investors. The author concludes that this report did not identify any facts that would seem to contraindicate expansion into the Swiss market except for the fact that domestic consumption of beer has dropped. The paper includes charts.

Abstract
This paper studies beer and liquor sales, with particular reference to the United States. It includes a brief history of beer and liquor, the prohibition era and the effect it had on these industries. It also describes the marketing and advertising tools used by the beer and liquor industries and brief histories of some famous brands. Included are tables of financial information regarding consumption, sales and revenue of beer and liquor and an analysis of Anheuser-Busch, a very large beer and liquor company. Finally, the author reveals his personal opinion about the topic and a summary of the research is presented.
From the Paper
"The exact origins of alcoholic drink are rather obscure, but most historians and anthropologists suggest that, even though our ancestors may not have understood the process of fermentation at the time, alcoholic drinks were made and drunk as early as 10,000 years (or perhaps even 25,000 years) ago. Some experts have even suggested that the beginning of agriculture could be attributed to the desire of early humans to produce beer rather than food.
The discovery or making of liquor through the distillation process, of course, came much later. Nevertheless, the Chinese are known to have distilled a beverage from rice as early as 800 BC. Europeans and Arabs are also said to have produced distilled alcoholic drinks in the early days but production of distilled liquor remained limited until about the 8th century AD. Improvement in distilling techniques gradually led to greater production of distilled spirits and various governments realizing the potential of earning revenues from the sale of liquor placed controls on the production and sale of liquor. In some countries, revenue from liquor sales has been the bedrock of their economies. For example in Russia, revenue from vodka sales was more than 40% of all state revenue in the last century. More recently, towards the end of the Soviet era, vodka sales constituted 15-20% of the value of all retail trade turnovers. "

Abstract
This paper looks at a study who's aim is to prepare an ale beer by fermentation and to investigate the microbiological aspects of the fermentation of malted barley extracts. It looks at how the study emphasizes yeast growth and factors that affect it (contaminants, temperature, pH). In the experiment the ale beer is prepared using a wort [Muntons Pale Ale Beer Kit] and yeast; saccharomyces cerevisiae. A control treatment (yeast + wort) is compared to a contaminant treatment containing acetic acid bacteria. The pH, temperature and concentration of yeast cells are also observed among the treatments on three different days.

Discussion
From the Paper
"The microbiological aspects of ale production were studied over a period of a 1 week. The study emphasized on yeast growth and on factors that affect it (contaminants, temperature, pH). On days 0, 1 , 4 of inoculation, a control treatment consisting of yeast; Saccharomyces cerevisiae and wort was compared to a contaminant treatment consisting of wort, yeast; Saccharomyces cerevisiae and an additional inoculum of acetic acid bacteria;vinegar. Throughout the main processes of beer production, the pH of the wort from the contaminant treatment was lower than the control, thus more acidic. Yeast concentration was higher in the in the contaminant treatment for both day 0 and day 1. A lower pH and higher yeast concentration suggest that the yeast cells are reproducing and utilization phosphate. After 4 days of inoculation, yeast concentration and pH was higher in the control treatment. "

Beer-Making, 2007.
This paper describes the history and complexity of beer-making.
1,420 words (approx. 5.7 pages), 11 sources, APA, £ 33.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that beer-making, which is a complex process involving the conversion of grains into usable sugars and requiring much skill and patience, has not changed fundamentally in centuries. The author points out that some people believe that beer-making originated about 10,000 years ago in Africa and was apparently made then, as it is now, from cereal grains. The paper relates that beer-making is captive to a sequential process, including a variety of essential ingredients, which must be closely adhered to if it is to achieve its full potential, at least in the eyes and palates of beer connoisseurs.
From the Paper
"For their part, hops and yeast also play key roles in the creation of commendable beer. To wit, the former is a "twining vine" that grows in the summer months and is commonly eaten as a vegetable with the leaves "blanched" and used a soup. But most of all, hops serve to add "bitterness and aroma" to a beer - even if they are considered an integral part of every brewing operation. Finally, yeast is another significant ingredient in the "typical" beer and it serves to convert fermentable sugars into alcohol - and into beer flavors."

Abstract
This paper discusses the production of bio-ethanol fuel as an alternative to fossil fuels, in Brazil. The paper begins by giving a summary of the political and economic background of Brazil and goes on to describe why the production of bio-ethanol has been so successful in Brazil. The paper presents the pros and cons of bio-ethanol production and concludes that, at this stage, the advantages of producing ethanol for fuel use appear to outweigh the disadvantages.
From the Paper
"Overall, the advantages of producing ethanol for fuel use appear to outweigh the disadvantages, which at this stage, are believed to be manageable. The first benefit is the decrease of the net output of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, since the amount of carbon dioxide released in the manufacture would be cyclically absorbed in the production of the new fuel crops (Wikipedia 2006). The burning of fossil fuels brings up massive amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere without creating damage. But this advantage can be derived only from agricultural ethanol, not petroleum ethanol. It is also assumed that production processes, like distillation and fertilizer production, would not exact large amounts of energy and done without using fossil fuels (Wikipedia)."

Abstract
This paper examines advertising and the art of persuasion used in the Molson Beer advertisement "I am Canadian". It asserts that beer advertisements typically employ a marketing campaign that uses sexual innuendo, such as pretty girls to sell their products. It points out however, that the Molson beer ad uses a different mechanism, which centers on nationalism and cultural determinism, rather than on the common persuasive tool of sex to market the product. The paper concludes that the ad's strong emotional appeal, embedded within a social and cultural context, makes for extremely unique and effective advertising.
Outline:
Introduction
Defining the Target Audiences
Molson Beer Advertisement: Style, Appeal, and Strategy
Relationship Between Verbal and Visual Content
Meaning and Value in the "I Am a Canadian" Ad
Prevalent Symbols Displayed in the Ad
The Role of the Molson Ad
Emotional and Intellectual Appeal of the Ad
Crucial Aspects of the Molson Canadian Advertisement
Building Relationships and Trust with the Consumer
Is the Ad Memorable?
From the Paper
"The Molson ad was in the form of a rant, which added to its overall success. The verbal style of the ad was to outline some of the major facets of Canadian culture and present them as something that individuals should feel proud of. It is interesting to note that the ad also focused on stereotypes of Canadians by Americans, and focused on dispelling some of these myths. There was also, the presentation of issues surrounding American lifestyle, and a comparison of how Canadians supposedly completed these actions differently and more effectively. Lines like "I believe in peace keeping, NOT policing. DIVERSITY, NOT assimilation", posit to the fact that the ad was trying to show the clear difference between the two cultures and was trying to evoke a sense of national pride with these statements."

Abstract
In this paper the author takes an in-depth look at Ethanol. The author makes mention of the different ways that it can be produced, its various characteristics, chemical composition and uses. The paper concludes with various arguments as to why ethanol has so many benefits and is so useful and argues why it may well be the ?fuel of the future?.
From the paper:
?Ethanol (ethyl alcohol, grain alcohol) is a clear, colorless liquid with a characteristic, agreeable odor. In dilute aqueous solution, it has a somewhat sweet flavor, but in more concentrated solutions it has a burning taste. Ethanol, CH3CH2OH, is an alcohol, a group of chemical compounds whose molecules contain a hydroxyl group, ? OH ? bonded to a carbon atom.?

Abstract
This paper explores the progress of ethanol as a fuel derived from renewable crops. It particularly focuses on cellulosic ethanol, which can be produced from agricultural, municipal and forestry waste, corn stalks, sawdust and waste paper. The paper discusses all of these options, as well as the viability of being able to produce enough to significantly reduce the United States dependence on foreign oil.
Table of Contents:
History of Ethanol
Current Uses of Ethanol
Arguments For and Against Ethanol as a Major Alternative Fuel
Retooling for Ethanol
Conclusion
From the Paper
"United States would require an "area of energy crops as large as the current area of food crops grown in the United States. Additional land use of this magnitude would be staggering and contentious" (p. 18). According to Haroon S. Kheshgi, an engineer for EXXonMobil Research, nothing will replace petroleum because to run an average U. S. car with corn-derived ethanol for a year would require 14 acres of cropland--about nine times more land than is needed to feed one person the same length of time. Aside from the fact that Kheshgi is invested in the oil industry, this argument, does not consider the use of agricultural waste products as the source or use of the by-products of distilling ethanol. If the land were still used to grow food, and the wastes were used for ethanol, benefits to the environment would be great. Also, if hydrogen power is the ultimate goal, ethanol could be "part of a transition strategy for shifting from today's internal combustion engine technology to tomorrow's hydrogen-based engines" (Issues in Science & Technology, 2002, p. 17)."

Causes in Market Shifts
Response of Companies and the Government
Subgroups Affected
Conclusions of Experts
My Personal Position
From the Paper
"Not only is petroleum a depleting resource, but vehicle emissions running on petroleum have created a pollution problem in the United States and most of the industrialized world. These emissions have increased the green house gases in the earth's atmosphere and in turn have led to global warming. Billionaire businessman Ted Turner has helped bring this issue to the forefront of the energy debate, stating, "'I think dealing with climate change is going to be the biggest single challenge humanity has ever faced, and we're facing it now'" (Dittrick, 2007, p. 26)."
