The effects of high pulmonary blood flow and pressure on pulmonary development are well understood, but the effect of low pulmonary flow/pressure is not. Pulmonary stenosis (PS) was therefore used as a model to determine its effect on lung development, which was assessed noninvasively by carbon monoxide transfer at rest and during exercise. One hundred and six control children (55 males, 8-16 y...

We have developed a pseudoelastic wave equation describing pure pressure waves propagating in elastic media. The pressure-mode (P-mode) uses all of the parameters (such as density and P- S-wave velocities). It produces same amplitude variation with offset (AVO) effects PP-reflections computed by conventional equation. Because new is free S-waves, it does not require finer grids for simulation. ...

Marine seismic data from the Blake Outer Ridge offshore Florida show strong “bottom simulating reflections” (BSR) associated with methane hydrate occurence in deep marine sediments. We use a detailed amplitude versus offset (AVO) analysis of these data to explore the validity of models which might explain the origin of the bottom simulating reflector. After careful preprocessing steps, we deter...
