John Wesley created an independent Methodist Church in 1784 in order to provide the sacraments to its members in America. The system created, however, did not seem to have the same understanding of the Lord's Supper that Wesley had, and it did not allow for the frequency to receive Communion that Wesley desired. Steven Bruns analyzes the writings of Wesley and those early Methodists involved in this process to discover what actually happened and why. In this book, Bruns looks at figures such as Francis Asbury, Freeborn Garrettson, Thomas Coke, William Waters, and many other leading figures of American Methodism to uncover their understanding of God's grace, the Lord's Supper, and the nature of the Church.

Revised and edited, this new third edition reference covers the full scope of energy management techniques and applications for new and existing buildings, with emphasis on the "systems" approach to developing an effective overall energy management strategy. Foremost in the enhancements to the new edition is content that reflects the emphasis on conservation for "green energy" awareness. Also examined are building structural considerations, such as heat loss and gain, windows, and insulation. A thorough discussion of heating and cooling systems basics is provided, along with energy management guidelines. Also covered are energy conservation measures that may be applied for lighting systems, water systems, and electrical systems. Specific energy management technologies and their application are discussed in detail, including solar energy systems, energy management systems, and alternative energy technologies. • Covers the full scope of energy management techniques and applications for new and existing buildings • Emphasizes a "systems" approach to developing an effective overall energy management strategy • Includes enhanced content that reflects the emphasis on conservation for "green energy" awareness

Experiments are conducted in the Arizona State University Unsteady Wind Tunnel to investigate acoustic receptivity in the leading-edge region of a Blasius boundary layer. The experiment utilizes two different flat-plate models. One model has a leading edge with a special geometry that limits the receptivity mechanism to the leading edge. The second model is a tapered elliptical-leading-edge flat plate with a junction. A Blasius basic state isolates the instability mechanism to a Tollmien-Schlichting wave and symmetric flow around the leading edge is established for each model. The acoustic disturbances are digitally generated and broadcast into the test section creating sound pressure levels ranging from 90 to 130 dB. Several techniques are examined for separating the Tollmien-Schlichting wave from the background noise. These include hot-wire signal separation in the complex plane, the Kendall differential microphone, a multiple-microphone technique, and a sound burst technique. Receptivity coefficients show the same focusing characteristics of the T-S wave amplitude for a narrow band of frequencies documented in previous experiments. This suggests that the focusing behavior is not due to the special geometry of tl0e leading edge. Boundary-layer measurements indicate some spanwise variation that could contribute to the focusing behavior. The work is now extended to include very high disturbance levels.
