Short Note A short tour through the Stanford Exploration Project con- tributions to anisotropy

چکیده

Browsing through the countless Stanford exploration Project (SEP) reports, I was amazed to find a large number of quality papers that tackle the sensitive issue of anisotropy. The amazement stems from the fact that a hidden principle, which states “anisotropy is not an important”, existed in SEP. This principle evolved from statements like “If you believe in anisotropy!” and “avoid the two A’s (anisotropy and AVO)” uttered by SEP’s leader and chief executive, Jon Claerbout, through the years. Despite such statements Jon has maintained an environment in SEP that allows its students to work on any subject they desire. The fact that some students choose anisotropy is a testament to the importance of this subject, and a testament to Francies Muir (past SEP professor and a devote anisotropist) positive influence on the group.

Encapsulation of Protocorm of Cymbidium bicolor Lindl. for Short-Term Storage and Germplasm Exchange

The present study describes the encapsulation of protocorm of Cymbidium bicolor Lindl. from 60 days-old in seed cultures for short- term conservation and propagation. Various concentrations and combinations of gelling matrix (sodium alginate) and complexing agents (calcium chloride) were tested to prepare uniform beads. The ideal beads were ob- tained through a combination of 3% sodium alginate...

Optimal Placement and Sizing of Fault Current Limiter in a Real Network: a Case Study (TECHNICAL NOTE)

In this paper, the effect of number and fault current limiter(FCL) location has been investigated in order to have maximum reduction of short circuit current level in all buses in a real network. To do so, the faulty buses were identified in terms of short circuit current level by computing short circuits on the desired network. Then, while the fault current limit was modeled, its optimal locat...

Anisotropy of Doped Transition-Metal Magnets

Calculations of the magnetocrystalline anisotropy are used to evaluate prospects for new lanthanide-free permanent magnets. Based on the requirement of transition-metal-rich phases, we investigate interstitial impurities in tetragonally distorted bcc Fe and sub stitutional impurities in hcp Co, and compare doped bulk materials with nanostructures, especially with elemental 3d and YCo5 nanoparti...
