Upgrading of AMTRAN on the datacraft DC 6024
A number of new software extensions and modifications to the AMTRAN system were completed. These modifications include input/output alterations, one-dimensional and two-dimensional array improvements, and disk storage of data enhancements. In order to promote a better understanding of the AMTRAN system software structure, a general description of the AMTRAN modules and their interrelationships was provided. A few sample statements have also been traced through the compilation and execution stages in order to illustrate the flow of system logic. In addition, the previous documentation was updated to reflect these modifications
Coupled Barrier Island Shoreline and Shoreface Dynamics
In Louisiana, barrier islands are undergoing morphological change driven by high rates of relative sea-level rise and interior wetland loss. Previous works utilized historical region-scale bathymetry and shoreline change analyses to assess coastal evolution. However, more localized assessments considering the role of sediment transport processes in regional evolution are lacking. This is essential to predicting coastal change trajectories and allocating limited sand resources for nourishment. Using bathymetric and shoreline data, 100-m spaced shore-normal transects were created to track meter-scale elevation change for 1880s, 1930s, 1980s, 2006, and 2015. An automated framework was used to quantify and track parameters such as shoreline change, barrier island area and width, bathymetric isobath migration, and shoreface slope. Our results illustrate that monitoring subaerial island erosion rates are insufficient for evaluating regional sediment dynamics of transgressive coastal systems. Advances in understanding these processes will facilitate more informed planning, management, and mitigation of transgressive barrier islands
Agency -- 1964 Tennessee Survey
During the period covered by this Survey several cases have raised rather interesting points for consideration under the law of agency. On one occasion the Tennessee Supreme Court declined the opportunity of joining the ranks of the majority of states in moving toward a more modern rule on employer\u27s liability with respect to an employee\u27s child injured negligently by the employee. In this and other decisions, the courts have followed Tennessee precedent rather closely, with the result that there are few changes in the law of agency

Annual Survey of Tennessee Law
The Union Carbide and Ferguson cases were suits to recover Tennessee sales taxes and use taxes paid under protest for 1956 and 1958. Carbide and Ferguson urged that since they were under contract to the Atomic Energy Commission, the legal incidence of the tax was on the United States directly and therefore invalid. Carbide had been secured in 1943 to manage and operate certain plants involved in work on the atomic bomb, and Ferguson had subsequently been engaged to build additional facilities for this purpose. Both contended that their relationship with the United States and the Atomic Energy Commission was one of agency, and that they were therefore within the implied immunity of the United States from state tax
Point-contact tunneling spectroscopy measurement of CuTiSe: disorder-enhanced Coulomb effects
We performed point-contact spectroscopy tunneling measurements on
CuTiSe bulk with and at temperatures ranging from
K and observe a suppression in the density of states around zero-bias
that we attribute to enhanced Coulomb interactions due to disorder. We find
that the correlation gap associated with this suppression is related to the
zero-temperature resistivity. We use our results to estimate the disorder-free
transition temperature and find that the clean limit is close to the
experimentally observed .Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
