Supply chain excellence has a real huge impact on business strategy. Building supply chains (SCs) as flexible system represents one of the most exciting opportunities to create value. This requires integrated decision making amongst autonomous chain partners with effective decision knowledge sharing among them. The key to success lies in knowing which decision has more impact on the supply chai...

Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is important for detecting shallow subsurface structures, which has been successfully used on the Earth, Moon, and Mars. It difficult to analyze underground permittivity from GPR data because its observation system almost zero-offset. Traditional velocity analysis methods can work well with separable diffractions but fail strong-interfered diffractions. However, i...

Mass-transport complexes (MTCs) are often characterized by small-scale discontinuous internal structure, such as slide blocks, rough interfaces, faults, and truncated strata. Seismic images may not properly resolve structure because seismic reflections fundamentally limited in lateral resolution the source bandwidth. The relatively weak diffractions, instead, encode information on subwavelength...

For the safe development and utilization of hot dry rock resources, it is essential to understand distribution characteristics underground faults. However, commonly used reflection attribute analysis method has an insufficient resolution, diffraction affected by multiple solutions. Moreover, both are highly dependent on interpreters’ experience take a long time. Therefore, based classical U-Net...

The uniform theory of diffraction (UTD) plus an imposed edge diffraction extension is used to predict the backscatter cross sections of dihedral corner reflectors which have right, obtuse, and acute included angles. UTD allows individual backscattering mechanisms of the dihedral corner reflectors to be identified and provides good agreement w?ith experimental cross section measurements in the a...

We introduce a general model which augments the one-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation by nonlinear-diffraction terms competing with the linear diffraction. The new terms contain two irreducible parameters and admit a Hamiltonian representation in a form natural for optical media. The equation serves as a model for spatial solitons near the supercollimation point in nonlinear phot...

Diffraction patterns were measured on a polycrystalline bcc Fe foil using a Mössbauer powder diffractometer with high sensitivity. Measurements with and without a magnetic field normal to the scattering plane showed large differences in the diffracted intensities of the different nuclear resonances. These magnetic effects on diffraction intensities were interpreted successfully with a single sc...
