The goal of this paper is the blind prediction of reservoir property from seismic attributes for well tops guided zones. Diverse variation in the reservoir properties, vertically and laterally, shows the nonlinear and complex nature of the reservoir system. In this context, use of a single network for the prediction of reservoir characteristic for a complete well may not be good in achieving ta...

The Terrestrial Observation and Prediction system (TOPS)[1] is a data and modeling software system designed to seamlessly integrate data from satellite, aircraft, and ground sensors, and weather/climate models with application models, to expeditiously produce operational nowcasts and forecasts of ecological conditions. TOPS provides reliable data on current and predicted ecosystem conditions th...

In this paper, a new scheme is proposed to realize reconfigurable and multifunction optical logic gates (XOR, XNOR, NAND, OR) using Mach–Zehnder interferometer with tunable thermo-optic phase shifter (TOPS). The are realized by tuning the of an signal TOPS without changing physical device structure. logical input “0” or “1” considered corresponding at TOPS. output depends on light intensity por...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and demonstrate the advantages of a new technique for carotid angioplasty and stenting (CAS) with proximal cerebral protection through a direct transcervical approach, as compared with a percutaneous transfemoral approach. METHODS CAS procedures were carried out in 25 consecutive patients, 4 with the femoral approach and 21...

Background and purpose: A recent confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) of the Test of Performance Strategies (TOPS) by Lane, Harwood, Terry, and Karageorghis [2004. Confirmatory factor analysis of the Test of Performance Strategies (TOPS) among adolescent athletes. Journal of Sports Sciences, 22, 803–812] provided only mixed support for structural integrity of the TOPS. The objectives of the prese...
