Application of least-squares Kirchhoff migration (LSM) to synthetic reverse vertical seismic profile data (RVSP) demonstrates that LSM reduces the migration artifacts, improves the image resolution and produces a more accurate image than the standard migration, but cannot completely recover the model reflectivity for AVO analysis because of the limited data coverage. The influence of incomplete...

For the SEG-EAGE salt data set, common-azimuth migration produces better images in the subsalt than single-arrival Kirchhoff migration, at a similar computational cost. Subsalt reflectors are better imaged and the typical Kirchhoff artifacts caused by severe multipathing disappear. We show how angle-domain Common Image Gathers (CIG) can be easily extracted from prestack wavefield downward conti...

A frequently used broadband array imaging method is Kirchhoff or travel time migration. In smooth and known media Kirchhoff migration works quite well, with range resolution proportional to the reciprocal of the bandwidth and cross range resolution that is proportional to the reciprocal of the array size. In a randomly inhomogeneous medium, Kirchhoff migration is unreliable because the images d...

The inhibition of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) by daily meals is believed to become an effective prevention for lifestyle-related diseases. In the present study, the inhibitory effect of hot water extracts of mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana L.) pericarp (WEM) on the formation of pentosidine, one of AGEs, in vitro and in vivo and the remedial effect on skin conditions were measured. WE...

Free-surface multiples can be considered to be signal and migrated by the crosscorrelogram migration method (Schuster and Rickett, 2000; Sheng, 2000). By merging the Kirchhoff and crosscorrelogram migration images, the true reflectors can be reinforced and the artifacts can be attenuated. For simple flat layered models direct multiplication of the Kirchhoff and crosscorrelogram migration images...

From a panel of monoclonal antibodies (MAb) produced against purified human neutrophils, MAb WEM-G1 was selected for its ability to stimulate granulocyte function as assessed by the capacity to kill antibody-coated tumor target cells. MAb WEM-G1 bound to neutrophils and eosinophils and not to monocytes, lymphocytes, or erythrocytes, and thus identified a granulocyte differentiation antigen. It ...

Write–efficient memories (WEM) as a model for storing and updating information were introduced by R. Ahlswede and Z. Zhang [2]. We consider now three new models of WEM with localized errors and defects, resp. In the situation (E+,D−), where the encoder is informed but the decoder is not informed about the previous state of the memory we study 1. WEM codes correcting defects, 2. WEM codes detect...
