The theory of plane-wave prediction in three dimensions is described by Claerbout (1993, 1997). Predicting a local plane wave with T -X filters amounts to finding a pair of twodimensional filters for two orthogonal planes in the 3-D space. Each of the filters predicts locally straight lines in the corresponding plane. The system of two 2-D filters is sufficient for predicting all but purely ver...

The theory of plane-wave prediction in three dimensions is described by Claerbout (1993, 1999). Predicting a local plane wave with T-X filters amounts to finding a pair of twodimensional filters for two orthogonal planes in the 3-D space. Each of the filters predicts locally straight lines in the corresponding plane. The system of two 2-D filters is sufficient for predicting all but purely vert...

On October 1, 2013 the reporting of diagnoses and procedures in the U.S. will transition from the clinical modification of the ninth revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-9-CM) to the tenth revision (ICD-10). The impact of conversion to ICD-10 on Medicare MS-DRG payments to hospitals was estimated using 2009 Medicare data. A minimal hospital payment increase of 0.05 perc...

Boris Ephrussi studied fruit flies, yeast, and mouse [3] genetics and development while working in France and the US during the twentieth century. In yeast, Ephrussi studied how mutations in the cytoplasm persisted across generations. In mice he studied the genetics of hybrids and the development of cancer. Working with George Wells Beadle [4] on the causes of different eye colors in fruit flie...

Land seismic data often shows large variations in energy from one trace to the next. Localized noise bursts or changes in signal to noise ratio in a shot gather, for instance where the receiver spread nears a road or machinery, are not uncommon problems. Also, geophones may be poorly coupled in an area, because of surface conditions or simply having been kicked loose. Claerbout (1994) points ou...

Outlays for health care in the nation reached $212.2 billion in calender year 1979--12.5 percent higher than in 1978, according to preliminary figures compiled by the Health Care Financing Administration. This estimate represented $943 per person in the United States and was equal to 9.0 percent of the Gross National Product. This latest report in the annual series representing national health ...
