Single frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis is an inexpensive, quick and painless means of estimating body composition. However, current approaches to estimating body composition from segment resistivity have some drawbacks. The purpose of this study was to overcome these limitations by developing a better model of the relationship between resistivity and body composition. A three-compart...

We show that when bulk graphene breaks into n-type and p-type puddles, the in-plane resistivity becomes strongly field dependent in the presence of a perpendicular magnetic field even if homogeneous graphene has a field-independent resistivity. We calculate the longitudinal resistivity xx and Hall resistivity xy as a function of field for this system using the effective-medium approximation. Th...

geophysical techniques remain the only ways to remotely and non-destructively sense the earth’s near subsurface and as such have the most promising prospect for rapid and accurate detection of underground tunnels. today, electrical resistivity and seismic refraction geophysical methods have been greatly developed to identify structures and underground cavities. in this study, the ability of the...

helicopter-borne electromagnetic (hem) is a fast and high resolution airborne electromagnetic (aem) method that is frequently used for imaging of the subsurface resistivity structures. this is a versatile and cost effective method, frequently has used in mineral and groundwater exploration and various environmental problems. modern frequency-domain hem systems utilize small electromagnetic, mag...

The objective of this study was to develop a methodology by which the risk from major accident hazards to the environment can be assessed or quantified. An index method, the Environmental Risk Index (ERI), has been developed based on an existing method, the Environmental Hazard Index (EHI), and the Department of the Environment (DoE) definitions of events that would constitute a major accident ...
