Ford roadster on railroad track
No full textThis 1922 photograph shows Dr. Eld Bryson’s Ford roadster with a group of men. From left to right is Leslie Brooks, Dr. Bryson, J. S. Higdon driving, his son Earl behind him, Woody Zachary, and Weaver Gray. Dr. Bryson was the physician for Blackwood Lumber Company and used the automobile, equipped by Mr. Higdon with flange wheels, on the lumber company's railroad to visit his patients from one end of the line to the other. Mr. Higdon had the first automobile dealership established west of Asheville and built the first gas station in Sylva. He was the Ford dealer until 1938 and owned the New Jackson Hotel from 1925-1935. At the time of this photograph, Leslie Brooks and Woody Zachary were Blackwood Company officials, and Weaver Gray was Jackson County Farm Demonstration Agent

Fort Harry ford on west prong of Little Pigeon River
No full textPaul M. Fink (1892-1980) of Jonesborough, Tennessee, was an early advocate for the establishment of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. This collection of photographs from 1914 through the 1930s was taken while Fink thoroughly explored the Great Smoky Mountains and surrounding area. A banker and a conservationist, Fink kept a journal of his explorations and published his entries in Backpacking Was the Only Way (1975). This photograph was taken on August 8, 1925 during a seven-day exploratory trip through the Great Smoky Mountains with Milton Ailes, Jr., Morgan Gilbert, Walter S. Diehl, and Paul M. Fink. On the back of this photograph Fink wrote: The Fort Harry ford, on the west prong of the Little Pigeon. The road leading into Tennessee from Indian Gap passes through this ford

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
