Channelized reservoirs often show multi-scale architectures such as large-scale channel belts, middle-scale single channels and small-scale channel infill facies. These architectural elements are defined between bounding surfaces. Along these hierarchical bounding surfaces, thin shale drapes may be present as flow barriers that compartmentalize the reservoirs. Since the distribution of shale dr...

Retinal ganglion cells of a given type overlap their dendritic fields such that every point in space is covered by three to four cells. We investigated what function is served by such extensive overlap. Recording from pairs of ON or OFF brisk-transient ganglion cells at photopic intensities, we confirmed that this overlap causes the Gaussian receptive field centers to be spaced at approximately...

We investigate overlap fluctuations of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick mean field spin glass model in the framework of the Random Overlap Structure (ROSt). The concept of ROSt has been introduced recently by Aizenman and coworkers, who developed a variational approach to the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model. We propose here an iterative procedure to show that, in the so-called Boltzmann ROSt, Aizenman...

BACKGROUND Epidemiological studies suggest considerable overlap between functional dyspepsia (FD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). To date, no surveys have been performed to investigate the clinical overlap between these two disorders using Rome III criteria. Our aim was to investigate the prevalence and risk factors for the overlap of FD and IBS based on Rome III criteria in a large clinica...

Four zircon Raman bands were previously calibrated to give consistent estimates of the accumulated self-irradiation ?-dose in unannealed volcanic samples. Partial annealing radiation damage produces inconsistent values because differences relative sensitivities. The based on external rotation band (DER) at ?356 cm?1 and that ?2(SiO4) (D2) ?438 are most least sensitive annealing. D2/DER-ratio th...

In this paper, we propose a systematic design of the overlap frequency domain equalizer (FDE) for SC transmissions. Based on the description of the inter-symbol interference (ISI) and the inter-carrier interference (ICI), we evaluate the signal-to-interference-and-noise-ratio (SINR) at the FDE output and adjust the block size of the overlap FDE. The proposed method consists of a simple procedur...

For the Antennae interacting galaxy pair, we have obtained high quality, fully sampled 12 CO J=1–0 and 3–2 maps of the regions surrounding the nuclei and the area of overlap between the two galaxies. The maps possess an angular resolution of 15 ′′ or 1.5 kpc, so far the highest resolution maps available at both the J=1–0 and 3–2 transitions. In addition, 12 CO J=2–1 data have been obtained for ...
