2013年中国战略性新兴产业总体呈现良好发展态势，保持了相对较快的产业增速。展望2014年，全球经济将延续缓慢复苏的步伐，而中国转经济、调结构也进入攻坚期和深水区，战略性新兴产业有望迎来快速发展的最佳契机，成为引领经济增长的重要引擎。

前4个月，物流与生产资料市场运行基本平稳、结构优化。一方面，市场规模增速稳中小幅回落，但保持较快增长；另一方面，在增速回落的同时，市场结构向好转变、流通方式加快转型。当前经济运行中值得关注的问题，主要表现在两个方面：一是宏观层面上，投资需求偏弱;二是微观层面上，企业资金紧张、应收账款大幅上升。此外，企业经营面临的政策环境有待进一步优化。从后期走势看, PMI 指数连续两个月小幅回升，市场需求有所改善，生产资料市场价格呈现出趋稳走势，显示出宏观经济运行积极向好发展具有一定的基础。在此背景下, 行业保持平稳运行仍具备有利条件。

一季度，物流与生产资料市场开局平稳、总体良好。一方面，市场规模增速虽然有所回落，但仍保持较快增长，尤其是3 月份以来，呈现企稳运行走势；另一方面，更为重要的是，在增速回落的同时，市场结构向好转变、流通方式加快转型，市场发展质量提升。预计上半年物流市场与生产资料销售总额增速较一季度有所回升，能够支持宏观经济运行在合理适度区间。

Electrolytes, nano-structuring and graphene nanoplatelets for electrodes, and current collectors in batteries and supercapacitors were investigated. The following results were obtained: (1) Nano-structuring of graphene nanoplatelets with and without conduct.

The viability of biomass as transportation fuel depends upon the allocation of limited resources for fuel, power, and products. By focusing on mature markets, this report identifies how biomass is projected to be most economically used in the long term and the implications for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and petroleum use. In order to better understand competition for biomass between these markets and the potential for biofuel as a market-scale alternative to petroleum-based fuels, this report presents results of a micro-economic analysis conducted using the Biomass Allocation and Supply Equilibrium (BASE) modeling tool. The findings indicate that biofuels can outcompete biopower for feedstocks in mature markets if research and development targets are met. The BASE tool was developed for this project to analyze the impact of multiple biomass demand areas on mature energy markets. The model includes domestic supply curves for lignocellulosic biomass resources, corn for ethanol and butanol production, soybeans for biodiesel, and algae for diesel. This is one of a series of reports produced as a result of the Transportation Energy Futures (TEF) project, a Department of Energy-sponsored multi-agency project initiated to pinpoint underexplored strategies for abating GHGs and reducing petroleum dependence related to transportation.

This thesis presents three catalysts for the origins of the Department of the Navy's biofuel initiative: (1) Section 526 of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 effectively ended the Department of Defense s (DoD s) research program into synthetic fuels derived from fossil fuels; (2) the crude oil spot price reached a maximum daily price of $145.16 on July 14, 2008; and (3) the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 appropriated over one billion dollars for biomass research and development. Although cost volatility has impacted the DoD s budget, the DoD already has used the Defense Working Capital Fund to make perceived oil prices less volatile to DoD users. Drop-in replaceable biofuels would not remove petroleum price volatility because biofuels act as close substitutes. The governments of other countries reduce cost volatility by managing fuel price risk using futures contracts; opinions differ on whether the DoD should pursue this option. To mitigate cost volatility, the Defense Business Board recommended exploring intragovernmental transfers between the DoD and Department of the Interior on two occasions. Long-term contracts could reduce volatility, but the DoD risks losing competitors in supply.

Over the past two years, the federal government has released several reports highlighting the importance of biomass as a potential source of economic growth and energy independence. In January 2011, for example, the Congressional Research Service issued a report titled Agriculture-Based Biofuels: Overview and Emerging Issues that reviewed the evolution of the U.S. biofuels sector and the role that federal policy has played in shaping its development. In August, 2011, the Department of Energy (DOE) released 2011 U.S. Billion-Ton Update: Biomass Supply for a Bioenergy and Bioproducts Industry, which detailed U.S. biomass feedstock potential nationwide. The report examined the nation's capacity to produce a billion dry tons of biomass resources annually for energy uses without impacting other vital U.S. farm and forest products, such as food, feed, and fiber crops. Then in April 2012, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy issued the National Bioeconomy Blueprint, a large portion of which described the importance of biomass as a source of energy and chemicals for manufacturing.
