Application of visual,statistical and artificial neural network methods in the differentiation of water from the exploited aquifers in Kuwait

The ability of artificial neural network to differentiate water samples from the two aquifers of Kuwait on the basis of their major ion chemistry has been demonstrated. The major ion concentration distribution in the groundwater of the Kuwait Group and the Dammam Formation aquifers of Kuwait appears very similar. Cross-plots, supported by the discriminant function analysis of the data, however, suggest that there are some subtle differences in the overall composition of the water from the two aquifers that make it possible to differentiate the water from the two aquifers in almost 80% of the cases. An artificial neural network improved the differentiation capability to 90% of the cases. It is also possible to estimate the fraction of Kuwait Group water in the flow stream of dually completed wells with the help of an artificial neural network developed for this purpose.

A coupled,dynamical and chemical model for the prestellar core L1544: Comparison of modeled and observed C<Superscript>18</Superscript>O,HCO<Superscript>+</Superscript>, and CS emission spectra

We consider radiative transfer in C¹⁸O, HCO⁺, and CS molecular lines in a spherically symmetrical, coupled, dynamical and chemical model of a prestellar core whose evolution is determined by ambipolar diffusion. Theoretical and observed line profiles are compared for the well-studied core L1544, which may be a collapsing protostellar cloud. We study the relationship between the line shapes and model parameters. The structure of the envelope and kinematic parameters of the cloud are the most important factors determining the shape of the lines. Varying the input model parameters for the radiative transfer—the kinetic temperature and microturbulent velocity—within the limits imposed by observations does not result in any substantial variations of the line profiles. The comparison between the model and observed spectra indicates that L1544 displays a flattened structure, and is viewed at an oblique angle. A two-dimensional model is needed to reproduce this structure.     

盐渍土与分散性针孔试验影响

通过具体实例,研究了新疆氯盐渍、硫酸盐渍土对针孔试验的影响,认为氯盐渍土因其胶结作用,随着盐量的增加,土样孔径大小、流量变化不大。硫酸盐渍土因其膨胀性,随着盐量的增加,土样孔径、流量减小,对土样的冲蚀破坏作用而不相同。     

遥感技术在珠江三角洲基塘用地变迁调查中的应用——以顺德、南海基塘区为例

本文选用两个不同时相的TM卫片(1984年、1994年)作为调查基础资料,结合地形图和局部地区大比例尺黑白航片,通过解译量测,对珠江三角洲顺德、南海基塘区十一个镇的基塘用地变迁情况进行了调查。并利用TM4波段图像对基、塘信息进行了分离,同时估算了基、塘面积比。这次工作是利用TM图像对珠江三角洲地区这一特有的土地利用类型进行调查所作的一次有益的尝试,并取得了较好的效果。     

门静脉系统癌栓的CT表现

本文观察分析了肝癌侵犯门静脉，在门脉分支及主干内形成癌栓后的ＣＴ影像特征。发现４６例中有４１例（９１％）有门脉增宽，此征象在ＣＴ图像上容易发现和测量出，可作为门脉癌栓的辅助诊断依据；同时ＣＴ平扫可以发现早期新形成的栓子，其特点是增宽的门脉内高密度结节影，ＣＴ值平均５６±７·８Ｈｕ；另外增强扫描可显示出平扫低密度而无增强表现的癌栓影。同时对上述各征象的产生机制进行了分析。
