pore pressure could be estimated prior to drilling using seismic velocities. applying this approach, the final calculated pore pressure is highly affected by accuracy of the obtained velocity data. in order to generate an accurate velocity cube with proper resolution, velocities from well logs and post-stack 3-d seismic inversion are used along with stacking velocities from velocity analysis of...

gardner's syndrome is an autosomal dominant inherited disorder. familial polyposis of the colon, osteomas, hypertrophy of the retinal-pigmented layer and a multitude of soft tissue tumors are characteristic features. the syndrome may be presented with colonic or extracolonic symptoms. a 75-year-old male patient presented to al-zahra clinic with diffuse abdominal pain. an abdominal surgery ...

Pregermination treatments applied to seed of Gardner saltbush, [ALriplexgar&cri(Moq.) D. Dietr.] were evahtated for alleviation of seed dormancy. Treatments selected simulated conditions the seed might be exposed to in its natural environment, including dry afterripening, scarification, leaching, and cold stratification. Germination response to individual treatments was equal to or higher than ...

Galois lattices are introduced as a device to provide a general representation for two mode social network data. It is shown that Galois lattices yield a single visual image of such data in cases where most alternative models produce dual images. The inzage provided by the Galois lattice produces, moreover, an inzage that can suggest useful insights about the structuralproperties of the data. A...

It is a great pleasure to introduce this special feature honoring Dr. Alfred Lunt Gardner. Al’s many contributions mammalogy span seven decades, two continents, and practically the entire tree of mammals. impossible imagine what in Americas would look like without him. His academic are as significant his imposing stature. Al was born Salem, Massachusetts 1937 spent early childhood there. first ...
