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
James H. Cathey Author of "Genesis of Lincoln"
No full textThis undated photograph showing James H. Cathey (1866-1929) is part of the William E. Bird Collection. 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. Bird served Western Carolina University in various capacities during his long career. Bird’s roles at WCU included head of the English Department, Dean of Men, Acting President, and President. In 1963, he published The History of Western Carolina College: The Progress of an Idea. He was married to Myrtle Wells (1891-1983)

Charlayne Hunter-Gault - Award-Winning Journalist and Author
No full textFrom Jim Crow America to Apartheid South Africa and Beyond: A Journalist\u27s Journey
Charlayne Hunter-Gault is an award-winning journalist and author whose career spans more than 40 years. She has reported on racism, Vietnam veterans, life under apartheid, drug abuse, and human rights issues. She was the first African American woman to enroll in the University of Georgia and was among the first African American women to graduate from the university.
Hunter-Gault gained national recognition after she joined the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) in 1978, becoming a national correspondent for its 60-minute MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour in 1983. In 1997 Hunter-Gault left PBS to become the Africa bureau chief for National Public Radio (NPR), and in 1999 she was named Johannesburg bureau chief for CNN, a post she held until 2005.
She is the author of a memoir on the American civil rights movement, In My Place (1992), and New News Out of Africa (2006), a book documenting the many aspects of the African Renaissance.
Her numerous awards include two Emmy awards and two Peabody awards, and in 2005 she was inducted into the National Association of Black Journalists Hall of Fame.

Hunter Success in the Creston Valley Wildlife Management Area
No full textForty-nine hunters were surveyed in the Six Mile Slough and Duck Lake Units during the 1984 waterfowl hunting season to determine the hunter success. The hunter success decreased slightly this year to last year (1.9 compared to 1.6 birds bagged per hunter per day). Also, the hunter success varied considerably between the two units. Twenty-six hunters were surveyed in the Six Mile Slough Unit, resulting in a success rate of 2.3 birds bagged/hunter/day. Twenty-three hunters were surveyed in the Duck Lake Unit and had a success rate of 0.9 birds bagged/hunter/day. Species composition changed as the season progressed, resulting in fewer species within the hunter's bag during the last half of the season. Overall, crippling losses increased this year from 13.6% to 30.8%. Also, the crippling loss was found to be higher in the Duck Lake Unit as opposed to the Six Mile Slough Unit (27.0% compared to 35.1%). Skybusting was not a problem in the beginning of the season, but increased as the season progressed. Also, there appeared to be more skybusting in the Duck Lake Unit as opposed to the Six Mile Slough Unit. Generally, the hunters using the Six Mile Slough Unit possessed better equipment and usually used more equipment to improve shooting conditions and insure better retrieval of waterfowl.Student paper submitted for Wildland Recreation 270
A New and Simple Technique to Normalize the HG Phase Function for Conserving Scattered Energy and Asymmetry Factor
No full textA new, yet simple, technique is formulated for normalizing the Henyey-Greenstein (HG) phase function by ensuring conservation of both scattered energy and asymmetry factor simultaneously, and is analyzed for use in determining accurate radiative transfer predictions in strongly anisotropic scattering media using the discrete ordinates method (DOM). Two recently published simple normalization techniques are able to conserve either scattered energy or asymmetry factor after discretization solely by normalization of the forward- scattering HG phase-function value. However, normalization of only the forward-scattering term cannot conserve two quantities simultaneously. The present technique normalizes both the forward-scattering and backward-scattering terms in order to conserve both scattered energy and asymmetry factor simultaneously and maintain most of the phase-function shape while retaining simplicity and efficiency. Analysis of radiative transfer predictions shows that results generated using the present technique conform accurately to finite-volume method (FVM) and Monte Carlo (MC) predictions, as well as to those generated using the authors’ previously developed matrix normalization technique, validating its accuracy.Peer reviewed
Comparison of the Discrete-Ordinates Method and the Finite-Volume Method for Steady-State and Ultrafast Radiative Transfer Analysis in Cylindrical Coordinates
No full textThe time-dependent equation of radiative transfer is solved for an axisymmetric cylindrical medium using both the discrete-ordinates method and the finite-volume method. Steady and transient flux profiles are determined for absorbing and scattering media. Results for each solution method are compared and shown for various grid numbers, scattering albedos, and optical thicknesses. A comparison of computational time and memory usage between the methods is presented. It is found that the finite-volume method uses more memory and has a longer convergence time than the discrete-ordinates method for all cases, due to the difference in angular treatment.Peer reviewed
