The probability tomography approach developed for the scalar resistivity method is here extended to the 2D tensorial apparent resistivity acquisition mode. The rotational invariant derived from the trace of the apparent resistivity tensor is considered, since it gives on the datum plane anomalies confined above the buried objects. Firstly, a departure function is introduced as the difference be...

This paper discusses modeling of non-uniform substrate resistivity for substrate resistance extraction. Though substrate resistivity of each substrate layer is frequently assumed to be uniform, doping profile of each substrate layer is not uniform. We present the extraction error of substrate resistance under uniform resistivity assumption. The resistivity models we suggest enable accurate resi...

This is a general review of anomalous resistivity with emphasis on its applicability in space and more specifically on ionospheric plasmas. It is addressed to the general ionospheric community rather than the specialist. Therefore a substantial amount of rigor has been sacrificed in favor of simplified physical pictures. However, several prescriptions are presented, on the basis of which one ca...

Single frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis is an inexpensive, quick and painless means of estimating body composition. However, current approaches to estimating body composition from segment resistivity have some drawbacks. The purpose of this study was to overcome these limitations by developing a better model of the relationship between resistivity and body composition. A three-compart...

Materials and methods The questionnaire used for the practicing medics was the effort-reward-imbalance (ERI) model of Siegrist et al. The questionnaire used for the students survey was the effort-reward-imbalance (ERI) model for school and student settings. The ERI scores on a 5 point Likert scale. In total, N = 716 medical students completed the questionnaire (65.4% female, 34.6% male). 61% of...

In this preliminary study, the complexity of the corrosion phenomenon of post-tensioning strands in grouted anchorage assemblies was examined and both physicochemical and electrochemical key technical issues were identified. Measurements of oxygen reduction efficiency in high pH electrolytes were conducted to obtain polarization parameters to be used in modeling. The time evolution of electrica...

A brief summary of the importance of the electrical resistivity of rocks in geothermal exploration is given as well as some of its is main relationships with some of the characteristics of geothermal reservoirs. Special emphasis is on the resistivity of rocks in high temperature geothermal fields where the dominant factor is the hydrothermal mineral alteration and how it relates to temperature....
