By using the Monte Carlo program MCNP, the change of detector count from thin beds with the vertical depth was calculated at different casing thicknesses. The calculation showed that with the low density thin bed moving upward, detector count first increased to a maximum then decreased. The responses of a thin bed with a high density were opposite to those of a thin bed with a low density. The change curve was symmetrical, and the maximums or minimums appeared at the midpoint between the detector and source. Besides, detector count increased with increasing thin bed thickness. At a specific thin bed thickness, further increase of thin bed thickness resulted in a slow increase of detector count then the count rate leveled off. In actual logging, the influence of adjacent formations on density log measurements can be ignored. Finally, based on numerical simulation correction methods for the dual influence of casing and thin beds are discussed.展开更多

This study investigated the effect of selective logging on the nest density, foraging range and colony size on the ground-dwelling ant Aphaenogaster swammerdami in Kirindy forest--Madagascar. This ant is a common ground-dwelling species in Kirindy, a western dry deciduous forest of Madagascar. Sampling was done in two sites of the forest： One part that was selectively lodged and another that have not been logged. Here we show that selective logging led to a decrease in colony size and density, while the foraging range seemed to be unaffected. Higher desiccation stress and lower food availability in the logged forest are most likely to be responsible for these results.展开更多

So it is especially important to establish a regional experimental calculation model based on a thorough analysis of their applicability.With the Upper Ordovician Wufeng Fm-Lower Silurian Longmaxi Fm shale reservoirs as an example, TOC calculation models were built by useof the improved DlgR, bulk density, natural gamma spectroscopy, multi-fitting and volume model methods respectively, considering the previousresearch results and the geologic features of the area. These models were compared based on the core data. Finally, the bulk density method wasselected as the regional experimental calculation model. Field practices demonstrated that the improved DlgR and natural gamma spectroscopymethods are poor in accuracy;although the multi-fitting method and bulk density method have relatively high accuracy, the bulk density methodis simpler and wider in application. For further verifying its applicability, the bulk density method was applied to calculate the TOC of shalereservoirs in several key wells in the Jiaoshiba shale gas field, Sichuan Basin, and the calculation accuracy was clarified with the measured dataof core samples, showing that the coincidence rate of logging-based TOC calculation is up to 90.5%-91.0%.展开更多
