Multiphysics Coupled Response of Stress and Seepage in Coal Under Borehole Disturbance and Optimization of Borehole Parameters

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
One‐way FLAC3D‐COMSOL coupled modeling and field validation show that a 150 mm borehole radius with 5 m spacing provides the best coordination of plastic‐zone expansion, stress relief, permeability enhancement, and gas‐pressure attenuation, increasing the pure gas drainage rate by 35.4%. ABSTRACT To rationally determine the borehole radius and borehole

Optimization of Blasting‑Induced Roof Cutting Parameters in Key Stratum and Its Application in Gob‑Side Entry Retention Technology

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
This study addresses hard roof coal seam conditions by optimizing key stratum blasting‐cutting parameters through theoretical analysis, numerical simulation, and field tests. It proposes calculation methods for blast hole spacing and delay timing based on stress wave theory, controlling roadway deformation within 35 mm, thereby enhancing resource ...

Learning From and Through Evaluation: An Examination of Practice

open access: yesNew Directions for Evaluation, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this article, we provide an analysis across the foregoing practice‐based case exemplars to understand antecedent conditions and influences, learning‐oriented evaluation strategies, estimates of strategy success or potential success, and factors that either enable or hinder the extent to which learning from and through evaluation occurs. The

Learning as Compost: Reorienting Evaluation in an Era of Authoritarian Drift

open access: yesNew Directions for Evaluation, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We synthesize insights from seven cases to interrogate a central assumption of the learning function of evaluation: Learning can be strengthened through better design, integration, or alignment with accountability systems. Taking the issue's conceptual framework seriously, the essay reflects what the cases reveal about the nature of learning ...

Keeping their powder dry: Purity, pollution, and handgun ownership among Jewish women in Israel

open access: yesFeminist Anthropology, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines the gendered practices through which Jewish women in Israel experience and negotiate personal handgun ownership in everyday life. Drawing on interviews, participant observation in gun‐related spaces, and analysis of women‐only online forums, we explore the expanding participation of Jewish women in civilian gun ownership,
