(i.e., profits). The tax generated by the increased profits, even accounting for theprogram’s implementation rate, is greater than the DOE program funding. How many othergovernment-funded programs fund themselves? In addition to providing a valuable service toindustry that lowers plant operating costs, the program also improves energy education, andtrains engineering students [9].2.2. How the OSU IAC worksIAC work tasks can be divided into five main categories: (i) Management activities, (ii) Pre-assessment activities, (iii) On-site assessment activities, (iv) Post-assessment activities, and (v)Implementation activities.

However, there also exist distinct regions between resonantfrequencies where harmonic excitation may be quite ineffective.
