Approximate analytical formulas for Kirchhoff migration operator

Two important tools in seismic processing––Kirchhoff migration and demigration operators––are the basis for many imaging problems solution. Due to high numerical and computational requirements, the use of those tools for three dimensions are very computation-costly. This fact has motivated us to investigate Kirchhoff migration operations for simpler types of media in order to provide faster res...

GMA award for "teaching students" 2011

Nach großem Erfolg im letzten Jahr [1] wird 2011 zum zweitenMal von der Gesellschaft für Medizinische Ausbildung (GMA) der Preis für lehrende Studierende vergeben. Hintergrund ist das weiterhin zunehmende Engagement von Studierenden in der Verbesserung der Ausbildung ihrer Kommilitonen z.B. in Form von PeerTeaching-Kursen, Entwicklung von Unterrichtsmaterialien, Curriculumsplanung und -organisa...

Sensors Best Paper Award 2011

With the start of 2011, Sensors is instituting an annual award to recognize outstanding papers related to sensing technologies and applications that meet the aims, scope and high standards of this journal. We are pleased to announce the first “Sensors Best Paper Award” for 2011. Nominations were solicited from the Section Editor-in-Chiefs of Sensors, with all papers published in 2005 eligible f...

Semi-Analytical Solution for Vibration of Nonlocal Piezoelectric Kirchhoff Plates Resting on Viscoelastic Foundation

Semi-analytical solutions for vibration analysis of nonlocal piezoelectric Kirchhoff plates resting on viscoelastic foundation with arbitrary boundary conditions are derived by developing Galerkin strip distributed transfer function method. Based on the nonlocal elasticity theory for piezoelectric materials and Hamilton's principle, the governing equations of motion and boundary conditions are ...
