Finite-difference calculation of traveltimes in three dimensions
The traveltimes of first arriving seismic rays through most velocity structures can be computed rapidly on a three-dimensional numerical grid by finite-difference extrapolation. Head waves are properly treated and shadow zones are filled by the appropriate diffractions. Differences of less than 0.11 percent are found between the results of this technique and ray tracing for a complex but smooth...
متن کاملTissue Engineering Scaffolds: History, Types and Construction Methods
Tissue engineering is a rapidly growing research field, potentially capable of de novo tissue and organ construction. This approach is used to improve efficiency both in the tissue and cell culture. This method is required to provide bodies in vivo three-dimensional conditions outside of the body (ex vivo). To achieve this goal, given tissue cells are cultured on the tissue engineering scaffold...
متن کاملMechanical performance of three-dimensional bio- nanocomposite scaffolds designed with digital light processing for biomedical applications
Introduction: The need for biocompatible and bioactive scaffolds to accelerate the regeneration and repair of fractured bones has been considered for bone tissue engineering applications during recent decades. The new methods were developed to produce scaffolds to improve the tissue quality, size of cavities, control the porosity and increase the scaffold compressive strength u...
متن کاملEmpirically determined finite frequency sensitivity kernels for surface waves
S U M M A R Y We demonstrate a method for the empirical construction of 2-D surface wave phase traveltime finite frequency sensitivity kernels by using phase traveltime measurements obtained across a large dense seismic array. The method exploits the virtual source and reciprocity properties of the ambient noise cross-correlation method. The adjoint method is used to construct the sensitivity k...
متن کاملRapid calculation of seismic amplitudes: SHORT NOTE
The ability to calculate traveltimes and amplitutdes of seismic waves is useful for many reflection seismology applications such as migration and tomography. Traditionally, ray tracing (cerveny et al., 1977; Julian, 1977), paraxial methods (Claerbout, 1971), or full-wave methods (Alterman and Karal, 1968) are used for such calculations. These methods have in common considerable computational ex...
