Geological Structure Detection With Tunnel Transient Electromagnetic Kirchhoff 2d Migration Imaging, Qi Zhipeng, Guo Jianlei, Sun Naiquan, Li Xiu, Fan Yanan

Coal Geology & Exploration

The green construction of tunnel requires not only predicting disaster anomalies such as water inrush and mud inrush in front of tunnel face, but also identifying geological structure to support disaster warning and prevention. The traditional transient electromagnetic interpretation method can only provide resistivity information, which not meet the requirements of tunnel geological disaster management. Therefore, virtual wavefield imaging technology is introduced into the tunnel detection to achieve comprehensive interpretation of the electrical information and structures of disaster anomalies. Firstly, transient electromagnetic data is transformed into virtual wave field. Then, the resistivity imaging method was used to calculate the resistivity …

Toward An Environmental History Of The First Great Awakening, David Blakely

History Theses, Dissertations, and Student Creative Activity

The events that came to be known as “The First Great Awakening” began in the wake of Enlightenment ideas that emphasized secular rationalism. Among Christian leaders in the British colonies in North America there was a general perception that passion for religion had grown stale. Itinerant Christian preachers began to travel from town to town and organize large outdoor meetings where they preached forcefully about each individual’s responsibility for their salvation from sin. Many of these revival meetings included spontaneous outbursts of religious fervor from members of the crowd that took the form of shouting, weeping, speaking in tongues, dancing, …

The Origin Of Knowledge And Interest In Interpreting: Mapping Out White And Bipoc Interpreters Experiences In Rochester, Ny, Jonathan Roman

Theses

High schools across the United States, located in a range of communities, offer American Sign Language (ASL) courses as a foreign language option. Some are in 'disadvantaged communities'; a school area where there is a lack of economic resources present for students to benefit from (McKillip, M. E. E., Godfrey, K. E, & Rawls, A, 2012). As terminology would suggest, the inverse of that are schools in advantaged communities. Also in the past, there have been BIPOC recruitment efforts for associates and bachelor level signed language interpreter training programs (ITP) by organizations like the National Interpreter Education Center (NIEC). But …

Impact Of Preoperative Psychological Evaluations On Bariatric Surgery Outcomes, Melanie A. Caustrita

Obesity is a major global health challenge affecting 603.7 million adults and is a risk factor for common illnesses such as diabetes mellitus II, chronic kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and poorly controlled hypertension. Americans have the highest rate of obesity. Patients with a body mass index (BMI) > 35 with one or more obesity related complications should be considered for bariatric surgery. Forty percent of patients seeking obesity treatment have at least one psychiatric illness with mood and anxiety disorders being the most common. Preoperative screening is recommended to identify patients with psychosocial risk factors that may lead …

Simplified Internal Variable Gradient Model For Zonal Disintegration Of Rocks In Circular Underground Tunnels, He Ziguang, Zhao Fasuo, Chen Haoxiang, Wu Bo, Zhou Jingjing

Coal Geology & Exploration

As one of the typical nonlinear phenomena of deep level surrounding rock masses, zonal disintegration has captured many attentions of geotechnical engineers in the past years. On the basis of the internal variable theory, the closed-form analytical solutions to stress, strain and displacement fields near circular tunnels are obtained. The gradient-dependent solutions are compared with the results of the classical elasticity theory, and the effects of microstructures on the stresses and deformation fields are investigated as well. It is noted that the stress and deformation fields derived from the gradient model show remarkable quasi-periodicity and fluctuation, which is consistent with …

Al.

Faculty Publications

The barn swallow (Hirundo rustica) poses a number of fascinating scientific questions, including the taxonomic status of postulated subspecies. Here, we obtained and assessed the sequence variation of 411 complete mitogenomes, mainly from the European H. r. rustica, but other subspecies as well. In almost every case, we observed subspecies-specific haplogroups, which we employed together with estimated radiation times to postulate a model for the geographical and temporal worldwide spread of the species. The female barn swallow carrying the Hirundo rustica ancestral mitogenome left Africa (or its vicinity) around 280 thousand years ago (kya), and her descendants …
