文摘This article introduces a cable-free real-time telemetry seismic acquisition system(hereinafter referred to as the cable-free real-time telemetry system)that utilizes 4G/5G technology.This system facilitates the real-time acquisition and quality control of seismic data,the real-time monitoring of equipment location and health status,the synchronous transmission of collected data between the cloud and client,and the real-time issuance of operational instructions.It addresses the critical limitation of existing seismic node equipment,which is often restricted to mining and blind storage due to the absence of a wired or wireless communication link between the acquisition node device and the central control unit.This limitation necessitates local data storage and rendering real-time quality control unfeasible.Typically,quality control is conducted post-task completion,requiring the overall retrieval and downloading of data.If data issues are identifi ed,it becomes necessary to eliminate faulty tracks and determine the need for supplementary acquisition,which can lead to delays in the acquisition process.The implementation of real-time monitoring and early warning systems for equipment health status aims to mitigate the risk of poor data quality resulting from equipment anomalies.Furthermore,the real-time synchronous transmission between the cloud and server addresses the bottleneck of slow download speeds associated with the centralized retrieval of data from multiple node devices during blind acquisition and storage.A real-time microseismic data acquisition test and verifi cation were conducted at a fracturing site in an eastern oil and gas fi eld.Analysis of the test data indicates that the overall performance indicators of the system are comparable to those of existing mainstream system equipment,demonstrating stability and reliability.The performance parameters fully satisfy the technical requirements for oilfield fracturing monitoring scenarios,suggesting promising prospects for further promotion and application.

文摘Deblending is a data processing procedure used to separate the source interferences of blended seismic data,which are obtained by simultaneous sources with random time delays to reduce the cost of seismic acquisition.There are three types of deblending algorithms,i.e.,filtering-type noise suppression algorithm,inversion-based algorithm and deep-learning based algorithm.We review the merits of these techniques,and propose to use a sparse inversion method for seismic data deblending.Filtering-based deblending approach is applicable to blended data with a low blending fold and simple geometry.Otherwise,it can suffer from signal distortion and noise leakage.At present,the deep learning based deblending methods are still under development and field data applications are limited due to the lack of high-quality training labels.In contrast,the inversion-based deblending approaches have gained industrial acceptance.Our used inversion approach transforms the pseudo-deblended data into the frequency-wavenumber-wavenumher(FKK)domain,and a sparse constraint is imposed for the coherent signal estimation.The estimated signal is used to predict the interference noise for subtraction from the original pseudo-deblended data.Via minimizing the data misfit,the signal can be iteratively updated with a shrinking threshold until the signal and interference are fully separated.The used FKK sparse inversion algorithm is very accurate and efficient compared with other sparse inversion methods,and it is widely applied in field cases.Synthetic example shows that the deblending error is less than 1%in average amplitudes and less than-40 dB in amplitude spectra.We present three field data examples of land,marine OBN(Ocean Bottom Nodes)and streamer acquisitions to demonstrate its successful applications in separating the source interferences efficiently and accurately.
文摘This article focuses on financial management issues in mergers and acquisitions(M&A).It provides an indepth analysis of the financial risks and management challenges faced by contemporary businesses during various stages of M&A,such as pre-merger valuation pricing difficulties,unreasonable financing structures,risks in payment method selection,obstacles to financial integration,and lack of risk management.Targeted management strategies are proposed to address these issues.This paper suggests strengthening due diligence and valuation management,optimizing financing structures,rationally selecting payment methods,deepening financial integration,and improving tax planning.These strategies aim to enhance the level of financial management in M&A,promote economic synergies and management effects,help companies quickly achieve M&A goals,and drive sustainable business development.

文摘Mergers and acquisitions(M&A)with financial technology(fintech)companies can be an effective way for firms to obtain new technologies and capabilities.However,the market reaction to fintech M&A announcements has received limited attention in the empirical academic literature.This study assesses the impact of fintech M&As on stock returns and examines whether macroeconomic variables influence the abnormal return of fintech M&As.Using event study analysis,we found that fintech M&A announcements generate a significant positive short-term abnormal return.Furthermore,we demonstrated that macroeconomic parameters,including Gross domestic product(GDP)growth,inflation rate,the share of services in GDP,and aggregate export growth,positively affect abnormal returns.In contrast,private investment,consumer spending,and an economy’s size negatively influence fintech M&As’abnormal returns.

文摘The paper aims to examine the application of multimedia technology in expanding vocabulary in second language acquisition.Incorporating innovative technology such as mobile applications,gaming applications,websites,and other related online tools has increased learners’vocabulary mastery,engagement,and motivation levels.Interactional processes like media-embedded objects,teach-learning capacity algorithms,and feedback help learners receive the course in a personalized way that considers individual learning patterns or abilities.However,there are the following challenges:accessibility issues,total reliance on technology,and issues related to privacy.The following challenges affecting learning that arise from using gadgets:the digital divide,limited device access,and environmental issues that may distract a learner in a technology-enabled environment.Moreover,the security issue for data and the ethical question of users’information remain important too.Hence,the paper provides arguments that although these technologies contribute significantly to vocabulary acquisition,the challenge that emerges should be addressed by integrating technology in teaching and learning alongside conventional methods for vocabulary acquisition,which is a practical language acquisition tool that should not be monopolized.

文摘With the objective of investigating the basis of phosphorus(P)utilization efficiency(PUE),physiological and morphological traits,two P-efficient and two P-inefficient rapeseed(Brassica napus L.)cultivars were compared at the seedling stage.P-efficient cultivars showed root morphological adaptation,high P uptake activity,and greater phospholipid degradation under low P stress.Improving root morphological adaptation and reducing lipid-P allocation could allow increasing PUE in rapeseed seedlings.
