Elastic wave propagation in anisotropic media is well represented by elastic wave equations. Modeling based on elastic wave equations characterizes both kinematics and dynamics correctly. However, because P and S modes are both propagated using elastic wave equations, there is a need to separate P and S modes to obtain clean elastic images. The separation of wave modes to P and S from isotropic...

Elastic wave propagation in anisotropic media is well represented by elastic wave equations. Modeling based on elastic wave equations characterizes both kinematics and dynamics correctly. However, because Pand S-modes are both propagated using elastic wave equations, there is a need to separate Pand S-modes to efficiently apply single-mode processing tools. In isotropic media, wave modes are us...

The separation of wave modes for isotropic elastic wavefields is typically done using Helmholtz decomposition. However, Helmholtz decomposition using conventional divergence and curl operators is not satisfactory for anisotropic media and leaves the different wave modes only partially separated. The separation of anisotropic wavefields requires more sophisticated operators which depend on local...

On-line nuclear meters have been in use in the coal industry for many years. They have been utilised for coal quality monitoring, in the control systems for coal blending, or for separating coals in the heavy media separation process. Their operation is based on the scattering or the absorption of incident gamma radiation, and the derived density or ash value is the result of a time-averaged me...

A bacterial culture was isolated from oil-contaminated soil based on its ability to metabolize the quinoline as the sole source of nitrogen. In this research Bacillus licheniformis strain was identified based on the result of 16S rRNA analysis. Optimized conditions were obtained with full factorial experimental design method using design expert software at temperature: 32<...
