Image logs of 13 wells in the Rag Sefid Anticline show two systems of fractures developed under two deformation phase in the Dezful Embayment. This deformation phases are folding resulted from Zagros NE contraction and reactivation of the basement fault rotated the fold axial trace within the Hendijan-Izeh fault zone. Folding phase comprises four sets of fractures, which include axial and cross...

Vulnerable statements constitute a major problem for developers and maintainers of networking systems. Their presence can ease the success of security attacks, aimed at gaining unauthorized access to data and functionality, or at causing system crashes and data loss. Examples of attacks caused by source code vulnerabilities are buffer overflows, command injections, and cross-site scripting. Thi...

A unique micro electrochemical machining (ECM) method based on a scanning micro electrochemical flow cell (SMEFC), in which the electrolyte is confined beneath the tool electrode instead of spreading on the workpiece surface, has been developed and its feasibility for fabricating mesoscale channels has been investigated. The effects of the surface conditions, the applied current, the feed rate,...

Interpolation of missing seismic data (such as missing nearoffset data, gaps, etc.) is an important issue in seismic surveys. Here we show that interferometry can be used to fill in some gaps in the data. The interferometric method creates virtual traces in the gaps by crosscorrelation of traces in a shot gather followed by summation over all shot positions. Compared to other interpolation meth...

The holy grail in process mining is an algorithm that, given an event log, produces fitting, precise, properly generalizing and simple process models. While there is consensus on the existence of solid metrics for fitness and simplicity, current metrics for precision and generalization have important flaws, which hamper their applicability in a general setting. In this paper, a novel approach t...

We present the results of a survey for 21-cm absorption in four never previously searched damped Lyman-α absorption systems (DLAs) with the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope. The one detection is presented and discussed in Curran et al. (2007b) and here we add our results to other recent studies in order to address the important issues regarding the detection of cold gas, through 21-cm absor...

background: within the context of developing techniques to facilitate the diagnosis of the thyroid diseases, the elemental composition of pathological thyroid tissue (neoplastic and non-neoplastic) was investigated by proton induced x-ray emission. the pixe has been widely used as a sensitive technique for trace elemental analysis in both biological and medical fields. materials and methods: th...

wound healing in the skin depends upon the availability of appropriate trace metals as enzyme cofactors and structural components in tissue repair. the present study is a part of a series of experimental investigations to examine the influence of bentonite on skin wound healing. surgically induced skin wounds in 48 young adult male rats were exposed topically to bentonite (12 round wound and 12...

AIMS Western Europeans have low blood levels of selenium (BSe), an antioxidant trace element. In a Flemish population, we investigated the cross-sectional and longitudinal association of blood pressure (BP) with BSe. METHODS AND RESULTS We randomly recruited 710 subjects (mean age 48.8 years; 51.8% women). We measured BP and BSe and kept participants in follow-up for BP. At baseline, systolic...

Dynamic optimization can apply powerful optimizations to hot execution paths that span traditional boundaries such as branches and calls, including calls to dynamic libraries. Because of this opportunity, it has gained academic and industrial attention. In this paper, we examine dynamic optimization in an overhead-free environment to ascertain its optimization potential. Specifically, we explor...
