APPLICATION OF A HILBERT TRANSFORM METHOD TO THE INTERPRETATION OF SURFACE-VEHICLE MAGNETIC DATA*

The development of an alkali vapour vehicle borne magnetometer providing very high resolution and a high sampling rate has called for reconsideration of interpretation procedures. With continuous profiling at ground level, the close proximity to near surface structures requires that the precise interpretation of geological boundaries be of paramount importance. Rapid digital recording also demands efficient data processing. Both these requirements can be met by the method described. Essentially the method reduces to a simple Hilbert transform of the magnetic profile. The calculation provides an extremely well defined position of the contact and accurate specification of the dip, strike, depth of overburden, and magnetic susceptibility parameters. Particular advantages are tolerance to high frequency noise, independence from a predetermined origin and baseline, and freedom from subjective judgements.     

Les Dépots Fumerolliens Terrestres et Marins de l’Ile Vulcano (Italie)

Many hydrothermal deposits are formed around the marine and terrestrial fumarolic vents of Vulcano island (Italy). Their genesis is related to the recombination of the elements brougth by the fumaroles and those liberated by the destruction of pre-existing minerals.

MINI-SOSIE FOR LAND SEISMOLOGY*

Mini-sosie consists in using a vibration-rammer as seismic source and changing the striking rate by varying the engine speed, resulting in a random impulse transmission. The recording instruments are made up of two seismic traces, two constant gain amplifiers and a two-channel sosie processor which performs the decoding in real time by using the actual transmission times supplied by a captor located on top of the vibration-rammer's plate. An idea of the possible penetration is given by the recording of a velocity survey. Other results obtained in seismic reflection and refraction are given.     

Toxicity of No. 2 fuel oil to coon stripe shrimp

Bioassay of a No. 2 fuel oil dispersion with shrimp in a continuous flow system using measured waterborne oil as the indicator of oil concentrations reveals a treatment more definable than those previously described in terms of volume ratios and produces lower lethal concentrations. Shrimp 96-h LC₅₀ was 0.8 mg/l in this study as compared to values from 1.5 to 50 mg/l reported for other methods. Mean concentrations in tests do not give significant differences in concentration with respect to day of the test or spatial distribution in the exposure tanks.     

The Distribution of Water and Suspended Sediment Flow during Spring Flood in the Forked Channel of the Lower Ob (Within Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Area)

Water Resources - The forked channel is a rare and poorly known type of branching channel, the distribution of flow in which is of key importance for water transport, economic activities, and water...     

Multi-scale modeling of three-phase–three-component processes in heterogeneous porous media

Flow and transport processes in porous media occur on different spatial and temporal scales and may also be locally different. Additionally, the structure of the porous medium itself generally shows a high dependence on the spatial scale.
