Loan Management Controls: Economic Friend or Foe of the Irrigator?

Irrigator incomes are highly sensitive to yield losses from load management irrigation system power interruptions. Should irrigators therefore avoid load management control programs? Under the conditions examined in this case study the answer is probably yes if irrigators are unable to opt out of the load control program during the irrigation season. If discretion to opt out is permitted however the answer is clearly the opposite no

Changes in the Economy of the Lummi Indians of Northwest Washington

A comparison and contrast of the Lummi Indian economy of northwest Washington between pre-white culture contact times and the present reveals a radical shift in the support base. There has been a decline in the traditional sustenance of fishing, and a movement toward industrial occupations as a means of livelihood. These new endeavors are spatially oriented away from the reservation. The purpose of this study is to confirm this trend and to analyze pertinent causal factors in the changing emphasis

Principles of Personalized Pathways for Sustainability Education: Educate, Act, Connect, and Communicate

Two educators describe how the model of Educate, Act, Connect, and Communicate can be utilized to address 21st century issues that concern middle grades students. The authors developed the model while using the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) to address global and local issues at two different middle schools. At Main Street Middle School, where Author One teaches, students work on the Green Team to delve deeply into the scientific and social impact of decreasing the school’s waste footprint and developing a re-use, reduce, and recycle ethos at the school. At Author Two’s school, Central Middle School, students create an eighth grade challenge that is project based, and addresses a local or global issue while aligned to the UNSDGs. The authors compare the challenges and benefits of using the Educate, Act, Connect, and Communicate framework to explore learning through the UNSDGs and make recommendations for other educators who are interested in moving toward a more integrative curriculum that highlights student voice, engagement and equity

Electric Rate Structures for Irrigation: A Tool for Energy Conservation

The major objective of the research performed under this WAPA Conservation and Renewable Energy contract is to determine if electric rate structures can be used to provide incentives to irrigators to make more efficient and or reduced use of electric power. A companion objective is to examine possibilities for electric rate structures to provide incentive for irrigators to use more electric energy for pumping irrigation water

A Methodology for Evaluation of Alternative Electric Irrigation Rate Structures

A mixed integer linear programming model is being developed to evaluate the effects of alternative electric rate structures on revenues to electric suppliers-distributors, returns to irrigators, and current and prospective demands for energy and water for irrigation. The model incorporates minimum, demand, and KWH charges for simultaneous analysis

Comparison of Alternative Configurations for Dense Warehousing Systems

In heavily constrained environments requiring very high density storage, traditional aisle-based warehousing may not provide viable options. One feasible manifestation of high density storage systems is the ‘puzzle-based’ system, in which unit loads are moved through the system via manipulation of empty (escort) locations to retrieve desired items. Another option would be the use of movable concentric rings, with escorts being utilized to enable lateral movements of unit loads between the rings. In this paper, the authors present analytical results to compare retrieval time performance for these two types of high density storage systems for randomly demanded items under various assumptions regarding the initial placement of escorts. The paper concludes that the use of movable concentric rings results in significant improvement to retrieval time performance in comparison to rectangular, puzzle-based systems, and further concludes that additional research is warranted
