Wavefield migration and tomography are well-developed under the acoustic assumption; however, multicomponent recorded seismic data include shear waves (S-modes) in addition to the compressional waves (P-modes). Constructing multicomponent wavefields and considering multiparameter model properties make it possible to utilize information provided by various wave modes, and this information allows...

1. A family of structurally related but genetically distinct natriuretic peptides exist which include atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) of myocardial cell origin and C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) of endothelial and renal epithelial cell origin. All three exert actions via cGMP, with ANP and BNP functioning via the natriuretic peptide A receptor and CNP via ...

This study focused on the deintercalation of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) from a kaolinite–DMSO complex in various solvents. The use kaolinite as filler polymer–clay composite generally faced difficulty dispersion due to its high cohesion. For improved within given matrix, previous intercalation small polar molecules is usually done prior displacement during composite-making. influence solvent pol...

There are a variety of methods that can be used to extract rock-properties information from seismic data. Three of the methods that can be used, include; 1. AVO analysis, followed by post-stack inversion of the AVO attributes (Goodway, et al.) 2. Prestack inversion of the P-wave data directly to impedance (Hampson et al.) 3. Joint prestack inversion of the P-wave data and converted wave data di...

The present article aims to present a series of software developments in the quantitative analysis of data obtained via single-case experimental designs (SCEDs), as well as the tutorial describing these developments. The tutorial focuses on software implementations based on freely available platforms such as R and aims to bring statistical advances closer to applied researchers and help them be...

The design of software systems can exhibit several problems which can be either due to inefficient analysis and design during the initial construction of the software or more often, due to software ageing, where software quality degenerates over time. The design problems appear as "bad smells" at code or design level and the process of removing them is termed as Refactoring.. This paper present...

Perceptual transparency requires local same-polarity X-junctions, which can also be generated by temporal integration under natural dynamic conditions. In this study, segmentation performance and target appearance were measured for a uniform gray target embedded in a random-dot frame presented with a temporally adjacent mask. Although static cues for both segmentation and transparency were unav...
