It was so little, it couldn't grow big, un-huh! un-huh!
He built him a pen, so neat, so nice, what! what!

Got up next morning, little pig was dead, un-huh! un-huh!
The old man grieved himself to death, what! what!

Because the little pig couldn't get his breath, un-huh!
The old lady she died so very soon after, what! what!

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
