The three‐dimensional seismic method is a different way of gathering and presenting seismic data. Instead of showing the subsurface beneath a profile line, 3-D displays give an, areal picture from the shallowest reflector to the deepest one that can be found seismically. Data are collected in the field with cross‐spreads that provide over 2000 evenly spaced depth points on each reflecting interface. Several variations of the cross‐spread technique give the same subsurface coverage while providing flexibility in data gathering. Because of the dense coverage, the method is best suited for problems requiring great detail, such as production problems. The usual presentation of 3-D data is a visual, moving display of emerging wavefronts covering four sq mi of surface. From this dynamic display, average velocity to each reflector and the dip direction and magnitude can be computed. The method has proved especially useful for the recognition of faults and determination of fault directions.

In this work a method is proposed for estimation of spatial distribution of predicted structural uncertainty.This estimation is made by a deterministic way during the analysis of internal convergence of the seismic method data. The errors in determination of kinematic parameters, namely time and velocity, are estimated. The estimates of external convergence of seismic data with drilling data are taken into account. As a result, a map of standard deviation of structural imaging is calculated which then is used to construct a map of a structural closure probability (risk).

The present knowledge of the three-dimensional structure of ribosomes is far too limited to enable a complete understanding of the various roles which ribosomes play in protein biosynthesis. The spatial arrangement of proteins and ribonuclec acids in ribosomes can be analysed in many ways. Determination of binding sites for individual proteins on ribonuclec acid and locations of the mutual positions of proteins on the ribosome using labeling with fluorescent dyes, cross-linking reagents, neutron-diffraction or antibodies against ribosomal proteins seem to be most successful approaches. Structure and function of ribosomes can be correlated be depleting the complete ribosomes of some proteins to the functionally inactive core and by subsequent partial reconstitution in order to regain active ribosomal particles.

Disparities between fold amplitude (A) and intrusion thickness (Hsill) are critical in identifying elastic or inelastic deformation in a forced fold. However, accurate measurements of these two parameters are challenging because of the limit in separability and detectability of the seismic data. We combined wireline data and 3-D seismic data from the TZ-47 exploring area in the Tarim Basin, Northwest China, to accurately constrain the fold amplitude and total thickness of sills that induced roof uplift in the terrain. Results from the measurement show that the forced fold amplitude is 155.0 m. After decompaction, the original forced fold amplitude in the area penetrated by the well T47 ranged from 159.9 to 225.8 m, which overlaps the total thickness of the stack of sills recovered by seismic method (171.4 m) and well log method (181.0 m). Therefore, the fold amplitude at T47 area is likely to be elastic. In contrast, the outer area of the TZ-47 forced fold is characterized by shear-style deformation, indicating inelastic deformation at the marginal area. It is suggested that interbedded limestone layers would play an important role in strengthening the roof layers, preventing inelastic deformation during the emplacement of intrusive magma.

AbstractDistribution of wax in laser printer toner was observed using an ultra-high-voltage (UHV) and a medium-voltage transmission electron microscope (TEM). As the radius of the wax spans a hundred to greater than a thousand nanometers, its three-dimensional recognition via TEM requires large depth of focus (DOF) for a volumetric specimen. A tomogram with a series of the captured images would allow the determination of their spatial distribution. In this study, bright-field (BF) images acquired with UHV-TEM at a high tilt angle prevented the construction of the tomogram. Conversely, the Z-contrast images acquired by the medium-voltage TEM produced a successful tomogram. The spatial resolution for both is discussed, illustrating that the image degradation was primarily caused by beam divergence of the Z-contrast image and the combination of DOF and chromatic aberration of the BF image from the UHV-TEM.
