Meditation In Qualitative Research For Bracketing And Beyond, Katalin Grajzel

Research Methods and Statistics: Graduate Student Scholarship

In this study, I recounted my experience using mantra meditation during a phenomenological study for the purposes of bracketing. The efficacy and purpose of bracketing have been debated from Husserl (1931), whose aimed was to achieve objectivity, to Heidegger (1962) who advocated for immersion of the researcher, through the French school (Merleau-Ponty, 1964) of middle ground, by whom bracketing was seen as the process to unearth and suspend biases for the better understanding of participants’ experiences (Arsel, 2017; Creswell & Creswell, 2017; Creswell & Poth, 2016; Fischer & Guzel, 2023). In this study, however, I propose another approach to bracketing …

Physics

This article presents constraints on dark-matter-electron interactions obtained from the first underground data-taking campaign with multiple SuperCDMS HVeV detectors operated in the same housing. An exposure of 7.63  g−days is used to set upper limits on the dark-matter-electron scattering cross section for dark matter masses between 0.5 and 1000  MeV/𝑐², as well as upper limits on dark photon kinetic mixing and axionlike particle axioelectric coupling for masses between 1.2 and 23.3  eV/𝑐². Compared to an earlier HVeV search, sensitivity was improved as a result of an increased overburden of 225 meters of water equivalent, an anticoincidence …

In this case, the risks of mine water inrushes increase significantly due to the complex deep hydrogeological conditions, a significant increase in the number of hidden disaster-causing factors, and the existence of faults. Methods Using a deformation-seepage experiment system for fractured rocks, this study investigated the characteristics of compressive deformations and seepage-induced erosion of fractured rocks in faults. By analyzing the impacts of particle-size distribution combinations, saturation state, and seepage pressure, on the deformation-permeability characteristics of fractured rocks under confined axial compression, this study investigated the …

An Intelligent Lithology Identification Method For Sandstone And Mudstone Strata And Its Applications: A Case Study Of The Jurassic Strata In The Lunnan Area, Xinjiang, China, Cai Ming, Zhou Qingwen, Yang Cong, Chen Feng, Wu Dong, Lin Wang, Zhang Chengguang, Zhang Yuanjun, Miao Yuxin

Coal Geology & Exploration

Objective Lithology identification lays the foundation for fine-scale reservoir evaluation. However, traditional identification methods generally utilize the interactive relationships between only 2‒3 logging parameters, suffering from low utilization rates of logging information and low identification accuracy for strata with small differences in logging responses. This seriously restricts the effects of old well reexamination. The efficient, intelligent CatBoost classification algorithm can fully mine the correlations between multi-source logging information and lithology. Methods This study investigated the Jurassic sandstone and mudstone reservoirs in the Lunnan area, Xinjiang, China. Using five logging parameters determined through sensitivity analysis, i.e., natural gamma-ray value, spontaneous potential, …

Coal Geology & Exploration

Objective In coal mines, the uneven distribution of dust haze and complex illumination conditions caused by underground coal mining and dust removal lead to blurred video images, as well as the loss of information and details. Hence, this study proposed a dehazing and enhancement algorithm for heterogeneous images of underground mining environments. Methods Initially, hazy images were segmented into zones with different brightness values, for which the average ambient light intensity of global dark channels was calculated. The calculation results were integrated through weighting with the ambient light of local bright channels, which was obtained using adaptive gamma correction and …

An Analytical Method For The Desorption Superposition Effect In Commingled Production Of Coalbed Methane And Its Application: A Case Study Of The Xiaotun Mine Field In Western Guizhou Province, China, Guo Chen, Ji Yan, Zhao Chenyi, Lu Lingling, Yu Xinhang, Gao Junzhe, Li Houqiang, Zhang Xuyang, Wang Xiang, He Hongbin, Zhang Runhan

Coal Geology & Exploration

Objective The commingled production of coalbed methane (CBM) serves as a significant means to increase single-well production. However, production practices reveal that the commingled production of CBM exhibits complex and varied effects and controlling factors, facing technical challenges of identifying gas-producing contributions, predicting gas-producing potential, and optimizing pay interval combinations. The superposition of desorption for gas production among different coal seams determines whether high CBM production can be achieved using commingled production. Methods This study proposed an analytical method for the desorption superposition effect in the commingled production of CBM, involving determining desorption sequences, analyzing the superposition of desorption intervals …

Optical-Electrical-Acoustic Wave Multiparameter Response Characteristics Of Typical Rocks In Coal-Bearing Strata Throughout The Loading Process, Zhang Pingsong, Liu Chang

Dynamic parameter capture assists in characterizing the generation, propagation, and closure processes of fractures, serving as a significant method for assessing rock quality. Methods Using a multiparameter test system, this study synchronously acquired strain measured using distributed optic fibers, electrode current, and compressional wave (P-wave) velocities of rock specimens under uniaxial loading. Accordingly, this study determined strength vs. parameter characteristic relationship graphs and parametric tomography results, finely describing the multiparameter spatiotemporal evolutionary characteristics of three typical rocks (i.e., sandstone, limestone, and mudstone) throughout the loading …

A U-Net-Based Denoising Method For Semi-Airborne Transient Electromagnetic Data And Its Application, Liu Dong, Feng Hao, Wang Yongxin, Zhou Xiaosheng, Yao Yuhong, Sun Huaifeng

Coal Geology & Exploration

Objective and Methods The semi-airborne transient electromagnetic (SATEM) method, an efficient geophysical exploration technique, has been extensively applied to mineral resource exploration, groundwater surveys, and geothermal resource surveys. However, the collected data are frequently susceptible to noise interference, significantly affecting the accuracy of subsequent data processing and interpretation. To address issues such as residual noise and the loss of effective signals, enhance denoising effects, and reduce the influence of subjective factors, this study proposed a denoising method for SATEM data based on the U-Net deep learning architecture (also referred to as the U-Net-based method) by applying U-Net to SATEM data …

Break It Down - Examining Paradigmatic Shifts And Intersectional Devaluation Through Quantitative Exploration: Martial Arts And Narrative Inquiry As Pathways For Community Wellness Programming, Kenisha Coy

Educational Studies Dissertations

Despite growing awareness of health disparities and social exclusion, there remains a significant gap in understanding how devaluation affects both individual well-being and broader community cohesion. Historically, mental health services have been dominated by clinical settings, such as hospitals and private practices, yet this approach has limitations in reaching underserved populations. "Alternative" and "non-traditional" wellness practices offer promising avenues for promoting emotional well-being outside these traditional settings, leveraging community resources and social support networks, yet they are often overlooked and devalued. This dissertation addresses this gap by exploring the complex connections between devaluation, health outcomes, and community engagement/social capital. Using …

Geology Faculty Publications and Presentations

In a warming climate, net mass loss from perennial snow and ice (PSI) contributes a temporary source of unsustainable streamflow. However, the role of topography and wind in mediating the streamflow patterns of deglaciating watersheds is unknown. We conduct lidar surveys of seasonal snow and PSI elevation change for five adjacent watersheds in the Wind River Range, Wyoming (WRR). Between 2019 and 2023, net mass loss from PSI is equivalent to ~10-36% of August-September streamflow. Across 338 manually classified PSI features >0.01 km2, glaciers contribute 68% of the total mass loss, perennial snowfields contribute 8%, rock glaciers contribute 1%, buried …
