However, conventional logging equipment has small depth of investigation and cannot detect rock fractures more than three meters away from the borehole. Remote acoustic logging uses phase-controlled array-transmitting and long sound probes that increase the depth of investigation. The interpretation of logging data with respect to fractures is typically guided by practical experience rather than theory and is often ambiguous. We use remote acoustic reflection logging data and high-order finite-difference approximations in the forward modeling and prestack reverse-time migration to image fractures. First, we perform forward modeling of the fracture responses as a function of the fracture-borehole wall distance, aperture, and dip angle. Second, we extract the energy intensity within the imaging area to determine whether the fracture can be identified as the formation velocity is varied. Finally, we evaluate the effect of the fracture-borehole distance, fracture aperture, and dip angle on fracture identification.展开更多

From this we get a new, more effective, and practical reflection coefficient equation. We performed forward modeling to AVO attributes, obtaining excellent results. The combined AVO attribute analysis of PP and PS reflection data can greatly reduce ambiguity, obtain better petrophysical parameters, and improve parameter accuracy.展开更多

However, the conventional seismic migration and imaging methods are not effective because the reflected waves are interfered with the dominant borehole-guided modes and there are only eight receiving channels per shot available for stacking. In this paper, we apply an equivalent offset migration method based on wave scattering theory to process the acoustic reflection imaging log data from both numerical modeling and recorded field data. The result shows that, compared with the routine post-stack depth migration method, the equivalent offset migration method results in higher stack fold and is more effective for near-borehole structural imaging with low SNR acoustic reflection log data.展开更多

Microstructure, morphology and reflectivity curves were characterized by XRD, FESEM, UV-visible spectroscopy and laser, and the effects of Sb content on crystalline microstructure, crystal size and reflectivity curves of the ATO nano-particles were investigated systematically. The results show that the ATO nano-particles prepared by co-precipitation method have tetragonal rutile structure, with particle size distribution range of several decade nanometer. With the increase of Sb content, the grain size of ATO decreases, and the unit cell volume increases. Compared with the SnO2 particles without Sb, the 1.06 μm laser reflection of ATO nano-particles doped with Sb is obviously lower. With the increase of Sb content, the reflection increases first, then decreases;when the Sb content is 20%, 1.06μm laser reflection of ATO nano-particles is below 0.02%, and the laser reflection performance is the best.展开更多

[Method] Discussions on risks of transgenic technologies were conducted from perspective of philosophy. [Result] Mechanistic philosophy and reductionism are causes of reflection on risks of transgenic technology. Considering transgene is an artificial choice taking place of natural choice, it is inevitable for risks of transgenic technology to be found. In addition, social system constitutes the root for out-of-control of transgenic technology, hence, mechanism risk is the primary cause of transgenic risks. [Conclusion] It is inescapable for science view to be changed from arbitrary and lopsided to reflective and comprehensive and for technology view to be changed from exterminative and genesic to protective and symbiotic.展开更多

文摘Background:Tumor location affects rectal cancer management,but no consensus exists on criteria.The anterior peritoneal reflection(aPR),an anatomical landmark,shows potential for defining tumor location but requires clinical validation.This study evaluated the utility of aPR in guiding neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy(nCRT)decisions and predicting lateral lymph node(LLN)/distant metastasis patterns.Methods:This single-center retrospective cohort analyzed data from Peking Union Medical College Hospital(Beijing,China)between January 2016 and August 2022.Magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)-measured aPR parameters were pathologically validated.Patients were stratified by aPR-based definition and tumor height(10 cm).Kaplan-Meier survival curves,log-rank tests,and Cox regression were used for prognostic analysis.Results:Among 588 patients(439 tumors≥5 cm from the anal verge),MRI identified aPR with an accuracy of 95.4%.For tumors≥5 cm,aPR-defined middle-to-low rectal cancer showed lower 3-year disease-free survival(DFS)rate than the upper rectal cancer(P=0.010),while their 3-year overall survival(OS)rates were comparable.Conversely,10-cm-defined classification showed no DFS or OS differences(both P>0.2).Cox regression confirmed aPR-defined classification as an independent DFS predictor(HR=3.19,P=0.014),while 10-cm classification was non-predictive.nCRT with tumor regression grade(TRG)0-1 trended toward improved DFS compared with direct surgery(HR=0.56,P=0.072).The independent protective effect of nCRT with TRG 0-1 for DFS was exclusive to the aPR-defined middle-to-low rectal cancer subgroup(HR=0.45,P=0.026)and not observed in the 10-cm subgroup.aPR-defined classification was independently associated with LLNs on MRI and postoperative pulmonary metastasis.Conclusion:aPR may guide nCRT decision-making and predict LLN metastasis and postoperative distant organ metastasis.

文摘Sand dust belts span approximately one-fifth of the global land surface.In these regions,dust tends to settle on vegetation surfaces,altering the observed reflectance and affecting remote sensing detections.To enhance the accuracy of maize growth monitoring in dust-affected regions,this study aims to quantify the effect of sand dust retention on maize during the tasseling stage in the Kashgar Prefecture,Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region,China,by analyzing changes in canopy reflectance and vegetation indices.First,field sampling was conducted to measure the key canopy structure parameters and dust retention levels of maize,and laboratory spectral measurements were performed on leaf spectral properties under gradient dust retention.The measured data were then used to drive the LargE-Scale remote sensing data and image Simulation framework(LESS)model for simulating realistic maize canopy spectra across different dust levels,with validation against Sentinel-2 imagery.Second,on the basis of the simulated and satellite-derived spectra,the dust resistance of 36 common vegetation indices was systematically evaluated,and new robust dust-resistant indices were developed.The results showed that compared with dust-free maize,the canopy reflectance of dust-retained maize followed an increase–decrease–increase pattern,with critical turning points at 735 and 1325 nm.The maximum reflectance difference of–0.11755(change rate:29.002%)occurred within the 735–1325 nm range at 24 g/m^(2)dust retention,and the minimum reflectance difference of 0.04285(change rate:148.950%)was observed in the 350–735 nm range under the same dust retention level.Among the 36 vegetation indices,only the global environment monitoring index(GEMI)and the ratio of transformed chlorophyll absorption in reflectance index to optimized soil-adjusted vegetation index(TCARI/OSAVI)exhibited dust resistance,with GEMI being effective below 6 g/m^(2)and TCARI/OSAVI remaining stable across all levels(average ratio:0.970).The newly developed indices in this study,(RE3–RE2)/(NIR–RE2),(RE3–RE2)/(RE4–RE2),and(NIR–RE2)/(RE4–RE2),retained values within the predefined dust-resistant range over the full dust retention levels of 0–24 g/m^(2),thus showing a more stable dust resistance compared with the commonly used 36 vegetation indices.Specially,(RE3–RE2)/(RE4–RE2)performed the most robustly in Sentinel-2 imagery,that is,58.020%of pixels were within the dust-resistant range,and an average ratio of 0.937 was obtained for the original-spectra index.This study provides a scientific basis for crop monitoring and management in dust-affected regions.

文摘Fracture identification is important for the evaluation of carbonate reservoirs. However, conventional logging equipment has small depth of investigation and cannot detect rock fractures more than three meters away from the borehole. Remote acoustic logging uses phase-controlled array-transmitting and long sound probes that increase the depth of investigation. The interpretation of logging data with respect to fractures is typically guided by practical experience rather than theory and is often ambiguous. We use remote acoustic reflection logging data and high-order finite-difference approximations in the forward modeling and prestack reverse-time migration to image fractures. First, we perform forward modeling of the fracture responses as a function of the fracture-borehole wall distance, aperture, and dip angle. Second, we extract the energy intensity within the imaging area to determine whether the fracture can be identified as the formation velocity is varied. Finally, we evaluate the effect of the fracture-borehole distance, fracture aperture, and dip angle on fracture identification.

文摘We introduce the Thomsen anisotropic parameters into the approximate linear reflection coefficient equation for P-SV wave in weakly anisotropic HTI media. From this we get a new, more effective, and practical reflection coefficient equation. We performed forward modeling to AVO attributes, obtaining excellent results. The combined AVO attribute analysis of PP and PS reflection data can greatly reduce ambiguity, obtain better petrophysical parameters, and improve parameter accuracy.

文摘Borehole acoustic reflection logging can provide high resolution images of nearborehole geological structure. However, the conventional seismic migration and imaging methods are not effective because the reflected waves are interfered with the dominant borehole-guided modes and there are only eight receiving channels per shot available for stacking. In this paper, we apply an equivalent offset migration method based on wave scattering theory to process the acoustic reflection imaging log data from both numerical modeling and recorded field data. The result shows that, compared with the routine post-stack depth migration method, the equivalent offset migration method results in higher stack fold and is more effective for near-borehole structural imaging with low SNR acoustic reflection log data.

文摘Antimony tin oxide （ATO） nano-particles doped with different Sb contents were prepared by co-precipitation method, using SnCl4·5H2O and SbCl3 as main raw materials. Microstructure, morphology and reflectivity curves were characterized by XRD, FESEM, UV-visible spectroscopy and laser, and the effects of Sb content on crystalline microstructure, crystal size and reflectivity curves of the ATO nano-particles were investigated systematically. The results show that the ATO nano-particles prepared by co-precipitation method have tetragonal rutile structure, with particle size distribution range of several decade nanometer. With the increase of Sb content, the grain size of ATO decreases, and the unit cell volume increases. Compared with the SnO2 particles without Sb, the 1.06 μm laser reflection of ATO nano-particles doped with Sb is obviously lower. With the increase of Sb content, the reflection increases first, then decreases;when the Sb content is 20%, 1.06μm laser reflection of ATO nano-particles is below 0.02%, and the laser reflection performance is the best.

文摘[Objective] The aim was to analyze risks of transgenic technology. [Method] Discussions on risks of transgenic technologies were conducted from perspective of philosophy. [Result] Mechanistic philosophy and reductionism are causes of reflection on risks of transgenic technology. Considering transgene is an artificial choice taking place of natural choice, it is inevitable for risks of transgenic technology to be found. In addition, social system constitutes the root for out-of-control of transgenic technology, hence, mechanism risk is the primary cause of transgenic risks. [Conclusion] It is inescapable for science view to be changed from arbitrary and lopsided to reflective and comprehensive and for technology view to be changed from exterminative and genesic to protective and symbiotic.
