At the 2012 Academic Emergency Medicine consensus conference, "Education Research in Emergency Medicine: Opportunities, Challenges, and Strategies for Success," a breakout session convened to discuss postgraduate fellowship training in emergency medicine (EM), which would focus on education research. Graduates will form a growing cadre of education scholars who conduct and publish quality educa...

The European Commission (EC) mandates that from July 1, 2014, Mobile network operators (MNO) shall offer the possibility to other parties, referred to as Alternative roaming provider (ARP), to offer ‘roaming services’. When a subscriber of a national MNO, referred to as Domestic service provider (DSP) in this context, travels abroad, that person should be entitled to receive voice, data, SMS an...

Receiver function is defined as the spectral ratio of the radial component and the vertical component of the ground motion. It is used to characterize converted waves. We extend the use of the receiver function to downhole data using waves recorded in a borehole, excited by an earthquake of magnitude 4.0 near San Francisco, California, on 26 June 1994. The focal depth of the event was 6.6 km an...

[1] Integrated Ocean Drilling Program Expedition 315 recovered cores from accretionary units, which are overlain by cover sequences, at a site on the hanging wall of the mega‐splay fault (C0001), and at a seaward margin of a forearc basin (C0002) in Nankai Trough off Kumano, Japan. In order to investigate the amount and the style of deformation and shortening direction of the accretionary prism...

Abstract The in situ stress state within fault zones is technically challenging to characterize. At the Bedretto Underground Laboratory Swiss Alps, breakouts observed an array of eight inclined boreholes penetrating a zone offer unique opportunity characterize fault‐associated spatial variations. Synthesizing multiple geophysical logs, natural geologic structures intersecting these are identifi...

The WMCSA series of workshops was started in 1994 to explore a new and extremely active emerging area of research centered on the advent of truly portable devices and wireless telecommunications. Explicitly seeking to create an open and interactive atmosphere, the workshop attendance was capped at 70; all attendees had to submit either a long or a short paper to ensure that all participants wer...

The propagation of seismic waves in an open borehole is reviewed. The principal wave types are the refracted P and S waves and the two guided waves pseudo-Rayleigh and Stoneley. The dispersion properties of the gUided waves are analyzed. An efficient method of computing synthetic microseismograms is described. The relative effects of the borehole. fluid and formation properties on the propagati...

The low-frequency tube wave speed is given explicitly for a variety of borehole nvironments. The presence of a logging tool, the effects of casing, and bore eccentricity are considered. The results are all relatively simple and indicate that the speed ecreases in the presence of a tool or borehole ccentricity. The speed increases in the presence of casing as long as the casing shear modulus exc...

Well-log measurements and seismic measurements should be compared at the same scale. The conversion of highly detailed borehole data into less detailed seismic data has to be done in a specific way considering conclusions from scaling analysis. One has to be careful with the differentiation to convert borehole acoustic impedance into reflectivity. In addition coarsening has to occur in such a w...

Thermal response test (TRT) is an established method to determine design parameters for borehole heat exchanger (BHE) systems; borehole thermal resistance and effective ground thermal conductivity. Most commonly, these tests are performed with heat injection, using the same assumed power level as the planned BHE system. For a thorough description of TRT and current activities around the world, ...
