electromagnetic methods are widely used for the study of subsurface resistivity structures. these methods are based on the response of the subsurface structures to electromagnetic fields. the magnetotelluric (mt) method is an electromagnetic technique that uses the natural, time varying electric and magnetic field components measured at right angles to the surface of the earth, to make inferenc...

Liquid chromatography paired with tandem mass spectrometry is a standard technique for identifying peptides from complex protein mixtures. Most fragment ion spectra acquired by this technique are unique, but some are repeated. Similarities among the spectra from 1D and 2D liquid chromatography experiments were calculated by the dot product algorithm. Similar spectra were grouped, and the degree...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS To date chloroplast genomes are available only for members of the non-protein amino acid-accumulating clade (NPAAA) Papilionoid lineages in the legume family (i.e. Millettioids, Robinoids and the 'inverted repeat-lacking clade', IRLC). It is thus very important to sequence plastomes from other lineages in order to better understand the unusual evolution observed in this mode...

A set of horizontal to vertical spectral ratio (HVSR) and multichannel analysis of surface waves (MASW) measurements, carried out in the Altavilla Milicia (Sicily) area, is analyzed to test a geological model of the area. Statistical techniques have been used in different stages of the data analysis, to optimize the reliability of the information extracted from geophysical measurements. In part...

INTRODUCTION Cardiac MRI requires compensation of respiratory and cardiac motion, which is usually performed by gating using an ECG and breathing signal. Recently, a motion compensated reconstruction of arbitrary physiological motion was proposed [1], that is based on a generalized reconstruction by inversion of coupled systems (GRICS) and uses a motion model and a reduced number of 1D input si...

The aim of seismic inversion is mapping all of the subsurface structures from seismic data. Due to the band-limited nature of the seismic data, it is difficult to find a unique solution for seismic inversion. Deterministic methods of seismic inversion are based on try and error techniques and provide a smooth map of elastic properties, while stochastic methods produce high-resolution maps of el...
