Comparison of Evaluation, Measurement & Verification Processes: Arkansas to Bordering States

The purpose of this paper is to compare Evaluation, Measurement, and Verification (EM&V) standards established by Arkansas and surrounding states. EM&V is the process to quantify the energy savings of an energy management project. This paper details the rules and regulation regarding the EM&V proceedings required by investor-owned utilities in providing energy-saving projects. By comparison of each state’s requirement, a clear understanding is found on where Arkansas stands in maturity of its program requirements. The reader will find Arkansas on the forefront of EM&V standardization that represents a model that surrounding states are striving to emulate

Inspiration

Citation: Banning, William Burgess. Inspiration. Senior thesis, Kansas State Agricultural College, 1904.Morse Department of Special CollectionsIntroduction: Inspiration, - literally a breathing of new thought and life into a human being, - is as old as the human race. And what a fascinating subject for most people! Speak of it and instantly one’s thoughts turn to supernatural agencies, to visions of angels, to the insistent power of the still small voice and to times in his own life when his heart was strongly warmed and his mind on fire with an almost irresistible impulse to action, induced by a clear intellectual light that comes almost inexplicably from, - no one knows where. Theologically, Inspiration means a divine influence working in man's soul by which he is qualified to receive and teach divine moral and religious truth with authority. Ordinarily, and in the profane sense, the word means the act of exercising an elevating, stimulating, influence on the intellect and emotions of man. The physiological meaning we shall not consider

The ship in the forest: New England maritime industries and coastal environment, 1630-1850

This work examines the relationship between New England\u27s maritime industries and the coastal ecotone, from Massachusetts Bay to Penobscot Bay and occasionally beyond, between 1630 and 1850. It begins with the early English use of the littoral ecosystem, and describes the effects of expanding maritime development and related industries---shipbuilding, fishing, farming and forestry---on that ecosystem until the late ante-bellum era. It also investigates the role of the coastal ecosystem in the development of New England\u27s colonial and early Federal political structure and economies, and describes in some detail the role of strategic coastal resources in the wars of the 17th and 18th centuries, as well as the effects of those wars on the ecosystem. The principal conclusions are these: First, that the ecosystem played a crucial role in the development of New England. Second, that the topography was instrumental in determining the nature of regional economy and social structure for two centuries. Third, that a century of intermittent pre-industrial warfare was actually beneficial for the natural resources, allowing them time to recover from early depredations. Fourth, that the topography and technology led to the formation of a communitarian capitalism that was peculiar to the New England coast, that lasted into the 19th century, and that contributed, consciously or not, to the maintenance of a sustainable relationship between harvest and regeneration of the natural resources until it was overcome by the corporate capitalism of the burgeoning industrial revolution. In the second quarter of the 19th century, this communitarian capitalism was overwhelmed by a larger and more sophisticated corporate capitalism, and its disappearance led to unbalanced depletion of the near-coastal resources, and perhaps irreversible changes in the landscape
