Delinquency and loss factors were utilized as the distinguishing criteria of credit problem areas.

influences of the American loyalists on Bahamian architecture
Title
The influences of the American loyalists on Bahamian architecture.
Creator
Whidden, Astrid Melzner., Florida Atlantic University, Curl, Donald W.
Abstract/Description
The architecture of the Bahamas was affected by the influx of fleeing American loyalists to that country in the late 1700s. They imported the Georgian style of architecture to the Bahamas popular in southern America's colonial towns. Fallacies over the exact nature of many Bahamian structures have dominated many discourses on this subject. By tracing the direct line of influence, using old, colonial structures these mistakes can be rectified. The loyalists managed to reshape the Bahamian...
Show moreThe architecture of the Bahamas was affected by the influx of fleeing American loyalists to that country in the late 1700s. They imported the Georgian style of architecture to the Bahamas popular in southern America's colonial towns. Fallacies over the exact nature of many Bahamian structures have dominated many discourses on this subject. By tracing the direct line of influence, using old, colonial structures these mistakes can be rectified. The loyalists managed to reshape the Bahamian capital of Nassau and develop many of the small Out Islands. Although their influence lasted only a short while, the loyalists altered the nature of the identity of the Bahamian people.

Title
THE LOGISTICAL AND FINANCIAL FEASIBILITY OF EFFECTING ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN PUBLIC SCHOOL BUILDINGS IN GREENVILLE COUNTY, SOUTH CAROLINA.
Creator
MARTIN, ALBERT ROLAND., Florida Atlantic University
Abstract/Description
This study was undertaken to determine the feasibility of renovating several school buildings in the School District of Greenville County, South Carolina, to make them more energy efficient. A review of the literature revealed that adaptations for energy efficiency, although initially costly, will pay for themselves in a relatively short period of time through reduced expenditures for energy. An in-depth analysis of fourteen schools showed much need for adding insulation, installing storm...
Show moreThis study was undertaken to determine the feasibility of renovating several school buildings in the School District of Greenville County, South Carolina, to make them more energy efficient. A review of the literature revealed that adaptations for energy efficiency, although initially costly, will pay for themselves in a relatively short period of time through reduced expenditures for energy. An in-depth analysis of fourteen schools showed much need for adding insulation, installing storm panels on windows, and making some changes in the heating, ventilating, and air conditioning systems. Recommendations were made accordingly, showing initial costs and payback schedules for each renovation.

Title
Reconstruction: photography and history in E.L. Doctorow's The March.
Creator
Seymour, Eric., Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College
Abstract/Description
This thesis presents an examination of the trope of photography in E. L. Doctorow's latest novel, The March, which takes General Sherman's march through Georgia and the Carolinas as its subject matter. The Civil War, as the first major American military conflict to be photographed, is the perfect vehicle for the novel's meditation upon the representation of significant political and cultural events.

Show moreThis thesis presents an examination of the trope of photography in E. L. Doctorow's latest novel, The March, which takes General Sherman's march through Georgia and the Carolinas as its subject matter. The Civil War, as the first major American military conflict to be photographed, is the perfect vehicle for the novel's meditation upon the representation of significant political and cultural events. As this paper argues, photography functions in the novel as a metaphor for visual culture in general. In particular, I argue that the discrepancies which the novel posits between the photographic record and lived experience function to trouble notions of media transparency. As the novel suggests, the popular conception of photography, which constructs it is an irreproachable and infallible medium, has lent itself to political manipulation. Thus, through photography, the novel depicts history as the conventional framing of events for posterity, not as a comprehensive record of events.
