Constant Comparison Method: A Kaleidoscope of Data
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper will attempt to illustrate the use of a kaleidoscope metaphor as a template for the organization and analysis of qualitative research data. It will provide a brief overview of the constant comparison method, examining such processes as categorization, comparison, inductive analysis, and refinement of data bits and categories. Graphic representations of our metaphoric kaleidoscope will be strategically interspersed throughout this paper.

Obtaining the Bidirectional Texture Reflectance of Real-World Surfaces by means of a Kaleidoscope
This thesis investigates the use of a kaleidoscope in measuring the reflectance properties of realworld surfaces, in particular to obtain the Bidirectional Texture Function (BTF) of the surfaces. The kaleidoscope technique for reflectance measurement represents an innovative economical and simple approach to obtaining reflectance functions of real-world surfaces. While theoretically the techniq...
متن کاملKaleidoscope laser
We report the first calculations of mode patterns of unstable-cavity lasers with truly two-dimensional transverse geometries. A detailed account of numerical techniques, incorporating a nonorthogonal beampropagation method, and results for cavities with a range of transverse symmetries, such as regular polygonal and rhomboid, are presented. In view of the beautiful complexity of the eigenmodes ...
متن کاملOnline Inertia Constant and Thévenin Equivalent Estimation Using PMU Data
In this paper a new algorithm based on phasor measurements for estimating the Thévenin Equivalent (TE) and system inertia constant is proposed. The method estimates the network TE seen from a generator terminal and equivalent system inertia constant by means of phasor data that is available at Phasor Data Concentrator (PDC) center. It is shown that the parameters of the TE could be estimated at...
متن کاملSimple Kaleidoscope Design for Reflectance Measurement
In this paper we describe simple design of a kaleidoscope used for measuring the bidirectional reflectance distribution function with aim to obtain the bidirectional texture function of various surface samples. The first prototype of the kaleidoscope was designed in symmetrical configuration with four tapered mirror walls. We discuss the influence of different design parameters with respect to ...
متن کاملUnblocking the Internet : Social networks foil censors NYU Technical Report TR 2008 - 918
Many countries and administrative domains exploit control over their communication infrastructure to censor online content. This paper presents the design, implementation and evaluation ofKaleidoscope, a peer-to-peer system of relays that enables users within a censored domain to access blocked content. The main challenge facing Kaleidoscope is to resist the censor’s efforts to block the circum...
