The Influence of Non-Collinear Electrodes Arrangement on a Two-dimensional Resistivity Survey Using Wenner Array

Two-dimensional electrical resistivity tomography (2-D ERT) is one of the most common geophysical tools employed to satisfy the ever-growing need for obtaining subsurface information. Most of the conventional electrode arrays used for 2-D ERT survey are built with the theoretical assumption that the survey lines are straight to guarantee four collinear electrodes at every point of measurement. However, due to surface constraint associated with most survey areas, it is rarely possible to conduct a two-dimensional resistivity survey on a straight line. Therefore, 2-D ERT survey conducted on a surface constraint field requires shifting one or more electrodes off the survey line, which contrasts with the underlying assumption. Consequently, the result might be prone to false anomalies. Thus, this study aimed to device a new approach that could mitigate the false anomalies posed by non-collinearity of electrodes in 2-D ERT result. In view of this, ABEM Terrameter SAS4000 using Wenner array configuration was adopted for the survey. The data was acquired with all electrodes inline and one or more electrodes offline at stepwise distances, respectively. Based on the result obtained, the new approach mitigates the offline electrodes effect, as the inverse resistivity tomograms resolves the geometries of the true model reasonably well. More so, it has high R-value >90% which is an indication of proximity to the true model. Hence, it is concluded that the new approach is effective in mitigating offline electrode effect on a 2-D ERT result.

I should like to give you a very condensed progress report on some spectrophotometric measurements of objective-prism spectra made in collaboration with H. Leicher at Bonn. The procedure used is almost completely automatic. The measurements are made with the help of a semi-automatic fully digitized registering microphotometer constructed by Hög-Hamburg. The reductions are carried out with the aid of a number of interconnected programmes written for the computer IBM 7090, beginning with the output of the photometer in the form of punched cards and ending with the printing-out of the final two-dimensional classifications.

Definition Of

1. The definition of “normal” stars in spectral classification changes with time; at the time of the publication of theYerkes Spectral Atlasthe term “normal” was applied to stars whose spectra could be fitted smoothly into a two-dimensional array. Thus, at that time, weak-lined spectra (RR Lyrae and HD 140283) would have been considered peculiar. At the present time we would tend to classify such spectra as “normal”—in a more complicated classification scheme which would have a parameter varying with metallic-line intensity within a specific spectral subdivision.

“Dynamical mixing”, i.e. relaxation of a stellar phase space distribution through interaction with the mean gravitational field, is numerically investigated for a one-dimensional self-gravitating stellar gas. Qualitative results are presented in the form of a motion picture of the flow of phase points (representing homogeneous slabs of stars) in two-dimensional phase space.

AbstractIn this paper we present complete two-dimensional measurements of the observed brightness of the 9th November 1990Hαflare, using a PDS microdensitometer scanner and image processing software MIDAS. The resulting isophotal contour maps, were used to describe morphological-cum-temporal behaviour of the flare and also the kernels of the flare. Correlation of theHαflare with SXR and MW radiations were also studied.

Evolution Of Microstructure

In all fields of microscopy there is an increasing interest in the quantification of microstructure. This interest may stem from a desire to establish quality control parameters or may have a more fundamental requirement involving the derivation of parameters which partially or completely define the three dimensional nature of the microstructure. This latter categorey of study may arise from an interest in the evolution of microstructure or from a desire to generate detailed property/microstructure relationships. In the more fundamental studies some convolution of two-dimensional data into the third dimension (stereological analysis) will be necessary.In some cases the two-dimensional data may be acquired relatively easily without recourse to automatic data collection and further, it may prove possible to perform the data reduction and analysis relatively easily. In such cases the only recourse to machines may well be in establishing the statistical confidence of the resultant data. Such relatively straightforward studies tend to result from acquiring data on the whole assemblage of features making up the microstructure. In this field data mode, when parameters such as phase volume fraction, mean size etc. are sought, the main case for resorting to automation is in order to perform repetitive analyses since each analysis is relatively easily performed.
