Modeling tools would enable one to analyze various options and to examine the most efficient strategies to assemble a least-cost supply chain. This workshop is designed to provide attendees with a review of the principles of logistics, and to allow them to hear from logistics practitioners and to become with modeling tools. The workshop begins with an overview of logistics outlining elements and characteristics of supply chains. Dr. Sandra Eksioglu, education coordinator of the National Center for Intermodal Transportation, and chair of the Transportation Working Group at Mississippi State University, will be the lead instructor for this topic. The next segment of the workshop will cover commercial examples of logistics networks. Ms. Melanie Kelly of Agi Logistics International will be the lead instructor for this session. The last segment of the workshop covers a new approach to modeling and optimization of logistics network. Examples will be drawn from handling biomass feedstocks and bioproducts. ASABE member Dr. Shahab Sokhansanj, of Oak Ridge National Laboratory, the developer of the IBSAL (Integrated Biomass Supply and Logistics) modeling environment, will outline the internal structure of this model and its user interface with practical examples. About IBSAL – The Integrated Biomass Supply Analysis and Logistics (IBSAL) model was developed to simulate biomass supply chains from the field to the biorefinery. The model, written in ExtendSim (www.imaginethatinc.com), consists of a network of operational modules threaded into a complete supply chain. Each module contains mathematical equations to describe a process or event. The process modules are drying, wetting, and dry matter loss. The events are operations such as cutting or chipping, loading, transporting, stacking, densifying and storing. Modules interact with an external Excel spreadsheet to receive input data and write output data. Biomass flows from one module to the next through a connector. To date, more than 60 modules have been developed. Additional modules to simulate advanced harvesting operations and new biomass feedstocks are planned.

Distinguished Lecture Location: W224F Moderator: Ken Brodbeck, Firestone “Nonroad Diesel Engine Emissions and Technology Options for Meeting Them” Xinqun Gui, Danan Dou, and Richard Winsor, Product Engineering Center, Deere and Company The U.S. government enacted clean air legislation for the automotive industry in the 1970s, followed by the truck engine industry in the late 1980s, and nonroad engine industry in the 1990s. Criteria for vehicle or engine exhaust gas emissions were established for nitric oxide, hydrocarbon, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter. These emissions have been referred to as criteria pollutants. Following the lead of the U.S., countries around the globe enacted emission regulations. Billions of dollars have been invested in research, engineering development and manufacturing to reduce criteria pollutants by the auto and engine industry. As a result, we breathe cleaner air and we live in a healthier environment. This lecture will focus on emissions reduction of nonroad diesel engines, although we will refer to onroad diesel engines often. We will highlight global emissions criteria and test procedures for the nonroad engines and compare them with onroad requirements. We will describe critical components and system integration technologies as building blocks for meeting emissions criteria. We will describe engine development through emissions tiers with emphasis on Tier 4. We will provide an outlook for what comes beyond criteria pollutant reduction. The primary focus of this discussion will be emissions; however, brief attention will also be given to other product attributes, such as reliability. 1:30PM-3:15PM III.

Fluid power is energy transmitted and controlled by means of a pressurized fluid, either liquid or gas. The term fluid power applies to both hydraulics and pneumatics. Hydraulics uses pressurized liquid, for example, oil or water; pneumatics uses compressed air or other neutral gases. Fluid power can be effectively combined with other technologies through the use of sensors, transducers and microprocessors. Fluid power innovation is progressing at an astonishing rate—so quickly that some experts cite more progress in the last ten years than in the 50 preceding years combined. -5- AETC-prg-final-2 1/6/10 8:52 AM Page 6 MONDAY, JANUARY 11 The advantages of fluid power: Fluid power systems provide many benefits to users including: • Multiplication and variation of force • Low speed torque • Easy, accurate control • Constant force or torque • Multi-function control • Safety in hazardous environment • High horsepower, low weight ratio • Established standards and engineering Don’t miss this rare opportunity to hear about the recent advances in fluid power technology directly from these world class manufacturers. 3:15PM 3:30PM-4:30PM Break CONCURRENT SESSIONS IV, V, VI IV.
