BACKGROUND The essential oil (EO) of Artemisia vulgaris L. has been traditionally used worldwide for treating a large number of diseases. Although major components in A. vulgaris EO have been shown to inhibit growth of different cancer cells, as pure compounds or part of other plants extracted oil, no information is known about its anti-proliferative activities. Therefore, the current investiga...

Amplitude versus Angle (AVA) attributes include information about rock properties. Using a dataset from South America, we performed a multiple realization method to get multiple equal-probable AVA intercepts, gradients, and their products. We generated a 3D histogram to evaluate the variability of those AVA attributes. In the same area, we chose a 2-D section by matching it to three wells. Then...

While spreadsheets are widely used, they have been found to be error-prone. Various techniques have been proposed to detect anomalies in spreadsheets, with varying scopes and effectiveness. Nevertheless, there is no empirical study comparing these techniques’ practical usefulness and effectiveness. In this work, we conducted a large-scale empirical study of three state-of-the-art techniques on ...

Application of least-squares Kirchhoff migration (LSM) to synthetic reverse vertical seismic profile data (RVSP) demonstrates that LSM reduces the migration artifacts, improves the image resolution and produces a more accurate image than the standard migration, but cannot completely recover the model reflectivity for AVO analysis because of the limited data coverage. The influence of incomplete...
