My intention in this paper is to outline and motivate a novel theory of syntactic bootstrapping, Exemplar-Based Phonological Bootstrapping (EBPB), based on Stochastic Tree-Substitution Grammar. Because I have outlined the basic structure of STSG in other places for assessed work on this degree, I will not recapitulate that work in the body of the present paper, but will instead quote it in full...

Abstract The frequency-dependent amplitude-versus-offset (FAVO) method has become a practical for fluid detection in sand reservoirs. At present, most FAVO inversions are based on the assumption that reservoirs isotropy, but application effect is not satisfactory fractured Hence, we analyse frequency variation characteristics of anisotropy parameters tight sandstone new petrophysical model, and...

Electrical exploration has become an important means of shale gas reservoir and evaluation, is expected to play a key role in the later stages fracturing development. At present, research on electrical response characteristics reservoirs their relationship with parameters extensive in-depth, but there little complex resistivity anisotropy influencing factors, which restricts petrophysical model...

A digital imaging technique is used to characterize pore-scale structures and to predict fluid flow at the scale. Heterogeneity at the pore-scale can be assessed by the micro-Computed Tomography (micro-CT), which provides complicated boundary conditions of porous media, and it can also be identified by the numerical flow simulation using the lattice-Boltzmann method (LBM) on the digital image. ...

It is well-accepted that Archie's law only applicable to “clean” rocks and soils but fails in “dirty” ones where clay minerals possess an additional component of surface conductivity. Although several models, for example, Waxman-Smits model, were presented account this phenomenon, conductivity always inappropriately treated as constant, which actually holds at high salinities. The essential non...

Database queries within a component framework usually take the form of a string passed to an operation in a component’s interface. The interface operation accepts a value of type string as an actual parameter and implements the necessary support to resolve the query. In such an approach, a component’s interface does not explicitly state the queries supported by that component. In this paper, we...

Soft glassy materials exhibit the so-called glassy transition which means that the behavior of the model at low shear rate changes when a certain parameter (which we call the glass parameter) crosses a critical value. This behavior goes from a Newtonian behavior to a HerschelBulkley behavior through a power-law-type behavior at the transition point. In a previous paper we rigorously proved that...
