We apply three moveout-based methods for multiple suppression to simple synthetic common midpoint (CMP) gathers and compare their performance in terms of level of multiple rejection and, more importantly, in terms of (1) suitability of processed output for use in analysis of amplitude variations with offset (AVO), (2) primary-to-multiple amplitude (p/m) ratio of the data after CMP stacking, and...

background alanine aminotransferase (alt) level is the most common diagnostic test used for detection of liver damage; however in the past few years some studies have questioned the normal aminotransferase range in adults and have suggested its revision. objectives in this study, we assessed the upper limit of alt and aspartate transaminase (ast) in a healthy population of iranian children. pat...

Abstract Purpose Education outside the classroom (EOtC) is a physical activity (PA)-integrating pedagogical approach that aligns PA with primary goals of schools and therefore thought to present an acceptable, feasible, efficacious model for school-based PA. The aim this study was investigate efficacy EOtC intervention aims increase adolescents’ (ages 10-16 years) overall by providing course on...

a graph $gamma$ is said to be vertex-transitive or edge‎- ‎transitive‎ ‎if the automorphism group of $gamma$ acts transitively on $v(gamma)$ or $e(gamma)$‎, ‎respectively‎. ‎let $gamma=cay(g,s)$ be a cayley graph on $g$ relative to $s$‎. ‎then, $gamma$ is said to be normal edge-transitive‎, ‎if $n_{aut(gamma)}(g)$ acts transitively on edges‎. ‎in this paper‎, ‎the eigenvalues of normal edge-tra...

We have developed a new automatic dip-picking method that is superior to the dip-scan method in several aspects. In our method, we estimate the dip of an event through the relative time-shift between neighboring traces. The optimal time-shift is deened to be the minimizer of a non-quadratic objective function that measures the discrepancies between the neighboring traces after these traces are ...

Strong refraction of waves in the migration velocity model introduces kinematic artifacts coherent events not corresponding to actual reflectors into the image volumes produced by prestack depth migration applied to individual data bins. Because individual bins are migrated independently, the migration has no access to the bin component of slowness. This loss of slowness information permits eve...

[1] Between 105–115 degrees, the SKS waveform is complicated by the formation of SPdKS, a wave that has segments of P diffraction along the core mantle boundary. While previous studies have primarily focused on the moveout of SPdKS from SKS, we analyze the concomitant reduction of the SKS amplitude. Long-period SKKS/SKS amplitude ratios present a coherent global pattern. SKKS/ SKS is relatively...

We present a new method for data interpolation and signal/noise separation of teleseismic wavefields recorded by regional seismic arrays. The method exploits the plane wave nature of direct arrivals and receiver-side arrivals from regional scale structure by decomposing the recorded wavefield into a plane wave basis using the linear radon transform. Casting the radon transform as an inversion p...

Two marine walkaway VSP lines are recorded by three-component receivers positioned in a dolomite layer. The layer has a high seismic velocity relative to the surrounding rocks and may be fractured. The recorded wavefield is analysed to determine whether this acquisition is suitable to image details of the internal structure of the layer. The principal arrivals in the wavefield are a dominant ho...
