A recent definition of controlled‐source electromagnetic apparent resistivity has been adopted, and it is shown that this definition is unique. It produces a single apparent resistivity value by transforming any of the given combinations of the mutual coupling ratios measured by five different source‐receiver configurations, namely, horizontal coplanar loops (HCP), vertical coplanar loops (VCP), vertical coaxial loops (VCA), electric dipole source and horizontal receiver loop (EDL), and central loop (in‐loop) configurations. Synthetic field data for the commercially available MaxMin system, which can be operated with HCP, VCP, and VCA configurations, are fabricated and they are transformed to apparent resistivities. An analysis of apparent resistivity curves so obtained reveals the requirements of the ranges of frequencies and transmitter‐receiver separations needed for given exploration depth. A concise analysis of the effect of the random noise errors in the MaxMin data on stability of apparent resistivity is carried out. From this analysis, it is expected that apparent resistivities from field measurements will be stable, even when the measurements are corrupted with random noises.

EM depth soundings by controlled‐source electromagnetic methods (CSEM) are made to determine the vertical resistivity distribution of the earth. The two variations of soundings, namely frequency sounding and geometric sounding, are used for exploring the subsurface. Although in field applications electromagnetic (EM) sounding has relative advantages over direct current resistivity sounding, quantitative use of EM depth sounding has not been used as much as direct current resistivity sounding (Mundry and Bohlm, 1987). Mundry and Bohlm (1987) have pointed out that one of the problems in the application of frequency EM sounding is the lack of sophisticated interpretational tools. The interpretation of the mutual coupling ratio (MCR) from the EM field component measurements, [Formula: see text], invariably relies on numerical inversion routines. However, unlike the direct current (DC) or magnetotelluric (MT) apparent resistivity curves, MCR curves do not reflect the subsurface resistivity distributions, and an initial guess model from MCR required for its inversion is difficult. Conversion of single component EM measurements into apparent resistivity is ambiguous because for a single measurement, two apparent resistivity values are obtained. Combining the general expressions for MCR obtained from the quasi‐static tangential electric and vertical magnetic field components of a vertical magnetic dipole source on the surface of a half‐space, Das (1995) defined an apparent resistivity for the use of the CSEM. The CSEM apparent resistivity curves show features similar to DC and MT apparent resistivity curves and they greatly enhance the interpretation. I refer to this paper (Das, 1995, published in this issue) as Paper I. In the present paper, difficult measurements of the electric field have been avoided by combining [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] obtained from the magnetic field measurements of two different configurations, i.e., the horizontal coplanar loops (HCP) and vertical coplanar loops (VCP) systems, respectively. This combination of measurements provides operational simplicity in the field and gives the same CSEM apparent resistivity described in Paper I. However, complementary behavior of the two combinations would be realized.

Using a clever mix of two components of the EM field caused by a vertical magnetic dipole, U. C. Das derives what he claims to be an exact apparent resistivity for use in EM depth sounding.

Bartel and Jacobson try to correct apparent resistivity values from CSAMT measurements, where the plane‐wave approximation is not valid. They want to convert CSAMT curves to passive MT curves (Cagniard curves), which can be interpreted by 2-D modeling. The measured CSAMT [Formula: see text] value is projected onto the [Formula: see text] axis in parallel with the half‐space curves of a horizontal electrical dipole in the given distance between receiver and transmitter. The example looks convincing, and it may be supposed to be a simple near‐field correction.

Conversion of the measured voltages in direct current resistivity sounding methods into apparent resistivity [Formula: see text] is a useful step since [Formula: see text] data provide information about the subsurface resistivity variations with depth. This resistivity information then helps select a model for inverting the sounding data. In the controlled‐source electromagnetic method (CSEM), conversion of the measured electric and magnetic fields into apparent resistivity values has not been popular. This attitude may be attributed to the difficulties in the inversion of the resistivity of a half‐space from the electromagnetic (EM) field components as well as to the nonunique nature of the inversion giving two resistivity values for a single measurement. Two measured components—the vertical magnetic field [Formula: see text] and the tangential electric field [Formula: see text] as a result of a vertical magnetic dipole source—are combined to derive an exact apparent resistivity in a way similar to that used in direct current resistivity methods. Conversion of the measured [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] field components into apparent resistivity is found to be simple and can be carried out on a programmable pocket calculator. Theoretical apparent resistivity curves for frequency‐domain electromagnetic sounding show features similar to magnetotelluric (MT) and direct current dipole‐dipole apparent resistivity curves.

Abstract In this paper, we present a new definition of interval-valued convex functions depending on the given function which is called “interval-valued approximately h-convex functions”. We establish some inequalities of Hermite–Hadamard type for a newly defined class of functions by using generalized fractional integrals. Our new inequalities are the extensions of previously obtained results like (D.F. Zhao et al. in J. Inequal. Appl. 2018(1):302, 2018 and H. Budak et al. in Proc. Am. Math. Soc., 2019). We also discussed some special cases from our main results.

How many fractals exist in nature or the virtual world? In this paper, we partially answer the second question using Mandelbrot’s fundamental definition of fractals and their quantities of the Hausdorff dimension and Lebesgue measure. We prove the existence of aleph-two of virtual fractals with a Hausdorff dimension of a bi-variate function of them and the given Lebesgue measure. The question remains unanswered for other fractal dimensions.

I present a method for calculating frequency‐domain electromagnetic responses caused by a dipole source over a 2-D structure. In modeling controlled‐source electromagnetic data, it is usual to separate the electromagnetic field into a primary (background) and a secondary (scattered) field to avoid a source singularity, and only the secondary field caused by anomalous bodies is computed numerically. However, this conventional scheme is not effective for complex structures lacking a simple background structure. The present modeling method uses a pseudo‐delta function to distribute the dipole source current, and does not need the separation of the primary and the secondary field. In addition, the method employs an isoparametric finite‐element technique to represent realistic topography. Numerical experiments are used to validate the code. Finally, a simulation of a source overprint effect and the response of topography for the long‐offset transient electromagnetic and the controlled‐source magnetotelluric measurements is presented.

Recent research about the theoretical approach to elements of cultural heritage that can be included in the newly born class Underground Built Heritage (UBH), has provided several instruments for the functional classification and the static and dynamic analysis of all artefacts coherent with the given definition, while introducing several criteria for their reuse and the evaluation of connected enhancement processes as well. These guidelines can be adopted to analyze single artefacts, groups of homogenous or heterogeneous elements, and also selected territorial assets or national systems, even at a comparative level. With reference to this potential, research results from the application of this new methodological approach to the outputs of three ongoing projects by the National Research Council of Italy, all focusing on UBH, in three countries: China, Japan and Italy, are presented. With reference to the above-mentioned geographical contests, the research introduces a comparative study focusing on selected examples of artefacts that have been historically built underground to manage three functions: living space, religion and economy. This study, carried out based on data collected during onsite visits by the authors, consists in three steps: selection and analysis of case studies, definition of level of reuses on the basis of a given scale, and analysis of the different tools adopted for their conservation and enhancement. In the conclusions, possible future implementations of reuses of the analyzed elements are pointed out.

The purpose of this work is the assessment and forecasting of freight car technical state at life stages. The scientific novelty consists in the definition of car operating run-up to the first failure and between failures, and also in the definition of car life to considerable repair fulfillment from the operating run between failures and development of a graphical model of freight car reliability. As a result of the statistic modeling of gondola car operating runs up to the first failure it is defined that the given random value conforms to a normal distribution law, the first car setoff in TOR due to wear failure takes place at the operating run of 85,000 km. Besides the operating run-up to the first failure there was defined an operating run-up between failures. It is proved that the operating run-up between failures conforms to the exponential law of distribution, the mathematical expectation of which is 13,000 km. The results of investigations mentioned above formed the basis of the graphical model of car reliability. An inter-repair service life of a car can be represented as a sum of the following operating run-ups: operating run-ups to the first failure, the product of operating run-ups between failures and the number of failures and a residual operating run-up (from the utmost current repair to the nearest scheduled repair). On the basis of the mentioned it is expedient to consider a technology for the realization of an enlarged repair with the purpose of the repetition exclusion in car setoffs during the inter-repair term. On the basis of the simulator there is obtained the dependence of the frequency of car enlarged current repair fulfillment depending on average operating run-up between failures. At present an enlarged current repair must be carried out only for gondola cars in the planned order after having reached 80,000 km. The repair mentioned can be carried out both under depot conditions, and under conditions of repair workshops. The advantage of such a system of repair consists in the increase car work reliability during the inter-repair term.

Numerical experiment has been successfully used during recent 10-15 years to solve a wide range of thermal and hydrogasodynamic tasks. Application of mathematical modeling used to design the ventilation systems for production premises characterized by heat emission may be considered to be an effective method to obtain reasonable solutions. Results of calculation performed with numerical solution of ventilation tasks depend on turbulence model selection. Currently a large number of different turbulence models used to calculate turbulent flows are known. Testing and definition of applicability limits for semiempirical models of turbulence should be considered to be a preliminary stage of calculation. This article presents results of test calculations pertaining to thermal air process modeling in premises characterized by presence of heat emission sources performed with employment of different models of turbulence. Besides, analysis of calculation results and comparison with field measurements data are presented.
