Repeatability of ultrasound backfat measurements was determined on 217 cattle, and the association of ultrasound and carcass backfat measurements was evaluated with 580 animals. The correlation (repeatability) between consecutive ultrasound measurements was .975. Average difference between two ultrasound measures was .72 mm and error size was directly related (P less than .001) to the amount of...

The 1 km thick evaporitic Permian Zechstein group in the Netherlands is subdivided into 5 halite rich sequences including K–Mg salts (polyhalite, kieserite, sylvite, carnallite and bischofite) for which position stratigraphy still poorly constrained. Understanding repartition of especially important development salt caverns require a as pure possible halite. By compiling well log seismic data o...

The submarine stratigraphy of the eastern Bay Naples is studied through seismo-stratigraphic data correlated with borehole data. Multichannel seismic profiles are interpreted in order to reconstruct stratigraphic relationships between Quaternary marine units and volcanic acoustic substratum. Seven recognized based on geological interpretation using criteria. top lowest unit was Campanian Ignimb...

A total of 183 core and cutting samples from seven exploratory wells were selected to be analyzed by Rock-Eval pyrolysis. These cores have been drilled through the Lam and Meem Members of the Madbi Formation and contain the major source rocks of Yemen´s sedimentary basins. Contents of total organic carbon were measured and Rock-Eval pyrolysis was performed to evaluate the hydrocarbon potential ...

We apply a recently developed 3D flexure model incorporating lateral variations in flexural rigidity (EET) and necking depth (zn) to study the 3D effects of intraplate stresses on Quaternary accelerated subsidence and uplift in the North Sea Basin and adjacent areas. In the model approach lateral variations and magnitude of predicted Quaternary vertical motions are largely dependent on the pre-...
