Imaging of steep flanks by focal sources

چکیده

One-way recursive wavefield extrapolation and migration has many advantages over other wavefield extrapolation methods. The method can handle complex models and is robust. However, the extrapolation of turning waves is one important omission of one-way wavefield extrapolation In this paper a new hybrid approach for the imaging of steep salt flanks is presented: CFP redatuming is used to redatum the data to a vertical array, and one-way wavefield extrapolation, using a rotated velocity field, is used to image the steep flank. A simple example is given for a synthetic data-set calculated for a model which includes a steep flank.

An improvement in RTM method to image steep dip petroleum bearing structures and its superiority to other methods

In this paper, first the limitations of the ray-based method and the one-way wave-field extrapolation migration (WEM) in imaging steeply dipping structures are discussed by some examples. Then a new method of the reverse time migration (RTM), used in imaging such complex structures is presented. The proposed method uses a new wave-field extrapolator called the Leapfrog-Rapid Expansion Method (L...

Spatial Scaling of End-stopped Perceptive Fields: Differences in Neural Bases of End-zones, Flanks and Centers

Length and width spatial interactions associated with a small test line centered on a rectangular background were measured at 0, 5 and 10 deg retinal eccentricities. Results indicated an elongated central region of summation with antagonistic flanks and end-zones comparable to earlier results [Yu, C. & Essock, E. A. (1996). Vision Research 36, 2883-2896]. The extent of the end-zones, flanks and...

Figure 1. Extent of widespread Osceola Mudflow and Electron mudflow deposits from Mount Rainier. These deposits contain hydrothermally derived clay minerals and likely originated from flank collapses. Modified from Scott and Vallance (1995) and Vallance and Scott (1997). ABSTRACT Catastrophic collapses of steep volcano flanks threaten many populated regions, and understanding factors that promo...

Synthesis, formulation and quality control of 99mTc-HYNIC-hlgG for imaging focal sites of infection and inflammation in human subjects [Persian]

Imaging of infection and inflammation is an important issue in nuclear medicine as it may have relevant implication for the management of patients with infections or inflammatory diseases. In this regard the synthesis of human polyclonal immunoglobuline G (IgG) radiolabeled with technetium-99m (99mTc) by a novel method, via a nicotinamide hydrazine derivative, was performed. The biologica...
