Shear wave velocity (Vs) data are key information for petrophysical, geophysical and geomechanical studies. Although compressional wave velocity (Vp) measurements exist in almost all wells, shear wave velocity is not recorded for most of elderly wells due to lack of technologic tools. Furthermore, measurement of shear wave velocity is to some extent costly. This study proposes a novel methodolo...

In recent years, Spatial Markov Models have gained popularity in simulating solute transport heterogeneous formations. They describe the transition times of particles between equidistant observation planes by statistical distributions, assuming correlation transit individual subsequent steps. By this, approach naturally captures preasymptotic dispersion. this study, we analyze bivariate log-nor...

Content description has become a topic of interest for many researchers in the audiovisual field [1][2]. While manual annotation has been used for many years in different applications, the focus now is on finding automatic contentextraction and content-navigation tools. An increasing number of projects, in some of which we are actively involved, focus on the extraction of meaningful features fr...

PURPOSE To evaluate the contrast sensitivity and stereopsis tests in patients who underwent bilateral implantation of multifocal intraocular lens. METHODS Tests of contrast sensitivity using the Pelli-Robson chart and stereopsis evaluation with the Titmus Stereo Test were performed in 20 patients 30-60 days after the bilateral implantation of Acrysof Restor multifocal intraocular lens. RESU...

A practical flapping wing micro air vehicle should have ability to withstand stochastic deviations of flight velocities. To design a flapping airfoil with this ability, it is necessary to evaluate the impacts of velocity deviations on the flapping performances numerically or analytically. In this paper, the responses of the time-averaged thrust coefficient and the propulsive efficiency with res...

In this paper, we show how to use the notion of layering-tree introduced in [5], in order to obtain polynomial time constructible routing schemes. We describe efficient routing schemes for two classes of graphs that include the class of chordal graphs. For k-chordal graphs, i.e., graphs containing no induced cycle of length greater than k, the routing scheme uses addresses and local memories of...

We study right tail large deviations of the logarithm of the partition function for directed lattice paths in i.i.d. random potentials. The main purpose is the derivation of explicit formulas for the 1+1-dimensional exactly solvable case with log-gamma distributed random weights. Along the way we establish some regularity results for this rate function for general distributions in arbitrary dim...

We show that the location and velocity of the harmonic oscillator with Lévy-stable noise are mutually Lévy-stable distributed. We give explicitly the associated spectral measure, exhibiting both the non independence and the non ellipticity of the location-velocity couple. We then propose measures of deviation from ellipticity.

The distribution of the deviation of calculated from measured nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE) intensities is a priori unknown. The use of a log-normal distribution to describe these deviations permits the direct calculation of a structure from the measured intensities without first converting them into distance bounds. We show that the log-normal distribution is a natural choice for describing ...

We present observations of granular velocities and their relation to the granular intensity pattern from the disc center of the Sun. They were obtained in June 1997 with the Vacuum Tower Telescope at the Observatorio del Teide on Tenerife. High spatial resolution, 0. ′′4–0. ′′5 for the velocities, was achieved with speckle methods applied to two-dimensional narrow-band images in Na D2 from the ...
