Kephart the Hunter
No full textThis article, pages 5 to 19, is titled, “Kephart the Hunter.” It appears in the January 1914 issue of The Berea Quarterly. On page 2 is a photograph taken from Kephart’s book “Our Southern Highlanders.” Horace Kephart (1862-1931) was a noted naturalist, woodsman, journalist, and author. In 1904, he left St. Louis and permanently moved to western North Carolina. Living and working in a cabin on Hazel Creek in Swain County, Kephart began to document life in the Great Smoky Mountains. “Our Southern Highlanders” was first published in 1913 and revised in 1922
Applicability of Phase-Function Normalization Techniques for Radiation Transfer Computation
No full textThe applicability of recently-developed four phase-function (PF) normalization techniques for modeling radiation transfer in strongly anisotropic scattering media is intensively examined using the discrete-ordinate method. The three simple techniques via normalization of only the forward- and/or backward-scattering directions were shown to reduce normalization complexity whilst retaining diffuse radiation computation accuracy for Henyey-Greenstein (HG) PFs. For Legendre PFs, however, such simple techniques are found to result in unphysical negative PF value at one or few correction direction in some cases. Additionally, negative PF values can occur for these simple techniques for ballistic radiation transfer for both HG and Legendre PF types. If negative-intensity correction is applied, however, radiative heat transfer calculation can still converge regardless of the appearance of negative PF values. The relatively complex Hunter and Guo 2012 technique, in which normalization is realized through a correction matrix covering all discrete directions, is shown to be applicable for diffuse and ballistic radiation for both PF types.Peer reviewed
Trips in the Smokies 1929
No full text“Trips in the Smokies” is a 4-page brochure written by Horace Kephart (1862-1931), author of “Camping and Woodcraft” (1906) and “Our Southern Highlanders” (1913). In this 2-page essay, Kephart provides advice about traveling into the Great Smoky Mountains. He notes that the region is not yet well mapped and suggests traveling with a guide. He suggests times to travel, routes to take, and lists camping equipment to take along. The brochure was the personal property of Kephart and was stamped as such, before being transferred to Hunter Library

On the back of the photograph is written “James H Cathey Senator from Jackson, Transylvania, Haywood, Swain. Author of ‘Genesis of Lincoln.’” William Ernest Bird (1890-1975) was born in the Qualla community of Jackson County, NC.

Ring-necked Pheasant and hunter interactions
No full textHunting has been declining as a pastime throughout the United States for decades. If this trend persists, it could have serious implications for the continuation of some wildlife agency programs that depend on hunters for political, financial, or harvest related support. In response, agencies have attempted to reverse this trend by focusing on providing quality hunting opportunities. However, there is little information examining the many factors (e.g., hunter experience, hunter space use, animal behavior) and interactions leading to hunter success and satisfaction. To improve the quality of hunting opportunities, the factors leading to hunter success (harvesting a game species) must be identified and understood. I investigated the behavior of both Ring-necked Pheasants (Phasianus colchicus) and hunters at two Pheasant Habitat Areas in central Illinois, which are owned and managed by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources to provide pheasant hunting opportunities and conserve grassland wildlife. To assess the behavior of pheasants, I radio-tagged male and female pheasants and established an Automated Radio Telemetry System on each site, which allowed for frequent tracking (every 3-5 min) of radio-tagged pheasants. To assess the behavior of hunters, they carried GPS units during their hunt and completed a pre- and post-hunt intercept survey. I also established a system of autonomous microphone recorders on the sites to identify gunshots. Hunters were generally satisfied with their hunt, and the number of pheasants harvested was positively correlated with satisfaction. Seven factors were identified leading to hunter success: previous site experience, time spent hunting, party size, number of dogs, day of the year, precipitation, and wind speed. There was also a difference in space use between experienced and inexperienced parties, with experienced hunters being more likely to be in areas with radio-tagged pheasants, this may explain some of the variation in harvest. The probability of a hunter encountering a pheasant remained approximately constant throughout the day, whereas the probability of a pheasant encountering a hunter increased throughout the day as pheasant activity increased (movements per hour). The number of gunshots increased hourly during the early morning, suggesting the increase in pheasant activity is leading to an increased detection of pheasants by hunters. However, after 10:00 AM the number of shots fell with decreasing hunter effort. Hunting provides critical resources for habitat acquisition and management, and while hunters at the two study areas were generally satisfied, there are several factors that could improve hunting. To improve their probability of harvesting pheasants, hunters should consider hunting in larger parties with experienced hunters and dogs. Finally, pheasant became more active as the day progressed thus hunting later in the day should also increase the probability of harvesting pheasants.Submission original under an indefinite embargo labeled 'Open Access'.

Teachers' voicing and silence periods during continuous speech in classrooms with different reverberation times
No full textThe relationship between reverberation times and the voicing and silence
accumulations of continuous speech was quantified in 22 primary-school teachers.
Teachers were divided into a high and a low reverberation time groups based on their
classroom reverberation time (higher and lower than 0.90 s). Reverberation times
higher than 0.90 s implicate higher voicing accumulations and higher accumulations of
the silences typical of turn taking in dialogue. These results suggest that vocal load,
which can lead to vocal fatigue, is influenced by classroom reverberation time.
Therefore, it may be considered a risk factor for occupational voice users
