Item Sherman's Preparations for the Atlanta Campaign: The Rome and Snake Gap Plans(University of Alabama Libraries, 1974) Stafford, Jon MichaelThis paper covers the history of Sherman's spring campaign from the date he acceded to the command of the Military Division of the Mississippi on March 18, 1864, until the end of the Snake Creek Gap affair on May 13, 1864. It includes a history of both the Rome and Snake Creek Gap plans, with emphasis on how they were affected by strategic cooperation, and by Sherman's logistics difficulties. Studies of Forrest's invasion and Polk's Department of Alabama, Mississippi and East Louisiana point out the lack of direction in Confederate efforts and weaknesses in their departmental system. Three maps are provided: Two in the text--one showing Forrest's invasion of west Tennessee, and one showing the Snake Creek Gap movement; a third in the rear of the paper shows the entire theatre. The maps are not referred to in the text.Item Integrated geophysical and geological investigation of a heterogeneous fluvial aquifer in Columbus, Mississippi(University of Alabama Libraries, 2005) Bowling, Jerry ClarkAn integrated field and modeling study is used to test the applicability of geophysical methods for characterizing flow and contaminant transport in a heterogeneous fluvial aquifer at the Macro-Dispersion Experiment (MADE) site in Columbus, Mississippi. An outcrop located 1 km southeast of the MADE site was examined to quantify the relationship between geophysical attributes and lithostratigraphic properties. Seismic reflection, ground penetrating radar (GPR), and DC resistivity profiles were compared with outcrop descriptions, laboratory resistivity measurements, and grain-size analyses conducted on a core collected near the quarry wall. The aquifer is found to be composed of an upper sandy clay meandering fluvial system and a lower gravelly sand braided fluvial system separated by an erosional surface. The meandering fluvial facies is characterized by relatively low resistivity values (500-1250 m) and laterally continuous high-amplitude GPR reflectors. Lateral GPR reflection terminations indicate onlap at channel boundaries, which are filled with silty clay and clayey silt with low resistivity values (50-400 ohm-m). The braided fluvial facies is characterized by higher resistivity values (1600-2600 ohm-m) and low amplitude short bidirectional dipping reflectors. Seismic reflection data images the terrace, but depositional structures within the aquifer are below seismic resolution. Resistivity measurements on the core show a linear correlation to clay fraction, allowing the surface resistivity data to be used as a predictor of clay content in the aquifer. A grid of two dimensional GPR and DC resistivity data collected at the MADE site show similar geophysical facies. A geological model is developed on the basis of these data that agrees with previously collected hydraulic conductivity measurements and migration patterns of a tritium plume produced in a natural gradient tracer test. The tracer experiment is simulated using a hydraulic conductivity field derived from the DC resistivity data, calibrated by an empirical log-log relationship between hydraulic conductivity and DC resistivity derived at one borehole. The agreement between the simulated and observed tritium plumes demonstrates that extremely heterogeneous aquifers can be modeled with minimal hydrological data supplemented with geophysical data at least as well as previous models of the site using extensive well-based hydrologic data.Item A residual equity theory of liabilities(University of Alabama Libraries, 1970) Walker, Charles G.Item Administrators' and professional student personnel workers' perceptions of student development services in the private colleges of Alabama(University of Alabama Libraries, 1977) Ward, Richard M.Item Development and use of an instrument for evaluating student opinion of the interim term(University of Alabama Libraries, 1970) Walker, Gloria SueItem A follow-up study of the effect of fiscal control on current school expenditures(University of Alabama Libraries, 1961) Walker, Joseph ClydeItem A planning guide for the development and use of formulas for recommending appropriations to Alabama state junior colleges(University of Alabama Libraries, 1974) Wallace, Pat Thomas DarrellItem Addition of nitrosyl chloride to cyclopentene and cyclopentadiene(University of Alabama Libraries, 1970) Walker, Phineas LeonItem A study of certain factors reported by teachers as affecting continuity of children's learning experiences in school(University of Alabama Libraries, 1960) Walley, Bertha L.Item The influence of field forces on the perception of brief temporal forms(University of Alabama Libraries, 1966) Warm, Joel SeymourItem The effects of temporal variables, monetary incentive, and method of informative feedback on the paired-associate learning of retardates(University of Alabama Libraries, 1969) Ward, L.
