[Letter from Russell S. Stephens to T. N. Carswell - April 12, 1938]
No full textA letter written to Mr. T. N. Carswell, Clifton Forge, Virginia from Russell S. Stephens, Abilene Printing & Stationery Co., dated April 12, 1938. Humorous gab regarding his own reaction to Charlie Barnes' oil deal. He expresses his dismay that Carswell has flu deeming it unwise to undertake a return trip until he has recovered. He advises that heavy snow killed the fruit but that in spite of the loss they "will have a fine year in West Texas". He expresses his hope that Carswell has an early recovery and returns soon "full of enthusiasm and zeal for your adopted West Texas home"

An estimate of the secondary-proton spectrum at small atmospheric depths
No full textWe have calculated the energy spectrum of secondary protons produced in the atmosphere as a function of the atmospheric depth and zenith angles at a location with zero geomagnetic cut-off. In this calculation, we have included all relevant energy losses and production processes. It is shown that the protons produced from the target nuclei through recoil and evaporation processes dominate the spectrum below 350 MeV. These calculations have been carried out over an energy region from 20 MeV to 40 GeV and up to a depth of 40 g/cm2 of the atmosphere over a latitude with zero geomagnetic cut-off for both the periods of minimum and maximum solar modulation
Evaluating Dual Task Neurological Costs with Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy: A Preliminary Report in Healthy Athletes
No full textBackground: Dual task assessments, which simultaneously challenge and assess cognitive and motor performance, have been used to improve the assessment of athletes with sports-related concussions (SRC). Our lab created a Dual Task Screen (DTS) to evaluate athletes with SRCs, and we have established that it is a valid behavioral measure, as it consistently elicits poorer behavioral performance under dual, compared to single, task conditions. Here, we used a Neuroimaging-Compatible (NC) version of the DTS, named the NC-DTS, which uses portable functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to assess behavioral performance and neural recruitment during single and dual tasks. Our study objective was to evaluate healthy athletes and establish whether the NC-DTS is a valid dual task neurological assessment that can elicit different patterns of neural recruitment during dual versus single task conditions. Methods: Twenty-five healthy collegiate athletes completed the NC-DTS in a single laboratory visit. The NC-DTS includes a lower and upper extremity subtask; both include single motor, single cognitive, and dual task conditions. The NC-DTS was administered in a block design, where conditions (i.e., single motor, single cognitive, and dual task) were repeated five times to generate average behavioral performance and task-dependent neural recruitment in superficial cortical regions including: prefrontal cortex, bilateral primary motor and sensory cortices, and posterior parietal cortex. Neural recruitment was measured with fNIRS and quantified using oxygenated hemoglobin (HbO) and deoxygenated hemoglobin (HbR) metrics. A single-tailed, within subject t-test was used to compare average dual task behavioral performance to average single task behavioral performance. Pairwise comparisons, that were family-wise-error (FWE) corrected, were used to compare localized neural recruitment during dual versus single task conditions. Results: As observed in previous studies, the NC-DTS elicited significantly poorer behavioral performance under dual, compared to single, task conditions. Additionally, dual task conditions of the NC-DTS elicited significantly greater neural recruitment in regions of the brain associated with attention allocation and task-specific demands in three of four comparisons. Conclusions: These preliminary results suggest that the NC-DTS is a valid dual task neurological assessment which warrants future work using the NC-DTS to evaluate athletes with SRCs
Correspondence regarding the construction of a museum
No full textThis 1945 correspondence, from Thurman Leatherwood to George M. Stephens, discusses the construction of a museum in Swain County, North Carolina. The letter is among the Horace Kephart papers. Horace Kephart (1862-1931) was a noted naturalist, woodsman, journalist, and author and promoter of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.|<?4-5"

Dear Mr. Stephens:
Mr. Stupka, of the Park Service, x'jas here a few days
ago to see about the Kephart property.
As I understand they plan to construct a museum in Swain
County as soon as possible after the war and would like to
place the property in the museum. This would be a fine thing
and I believe would meet the approval of all Mr. Kephart!s
friends. In the meantime, however, until the museum is constructed, I think it ?jould be well for us to hold the property.
I have talked with Mr. Kelly Bennett, who is a member of the
Kephart committee, and this, of course, meets with his approval,
Yours truly,
Sgd. Thurman Leatherwood.
