In induced-polarization (IP) surveys, the raw data are usually distorted significantly by the presence of electromagnetic (EM) interferences, including cultural noise. Several methods have been proposed to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of these data. However, signal processing in an electromagnetically noisy environment is still a challenging problem. We have determined a new and simple technique based on the analysis of the correlation between the measured potential and the injected primary current signals. This processing is applied to the data acquired using a new frequency-domain IP method called the spread-spectrum induced-polarization (SSIP) approach. In this approach, we use a pseudorandom m-sequence (also called the maximum length sequence) for the injected primary current. One of the advantages of this sequence is to be essentially spectrally flat in a given frequency range. Therefore, complex resistivity can be determined simultaneously at various frequencies. A new SSIP data set is acquired in the vicinity of Baiyin mine, Gansu Province, China. The correlation between potential difference and transmitting current signals for each period can be used to assess data quality. Only when the correlation coefficient between the two signals is greater than 0.5 can the SSIP data be used for subsequent processing and tomography. We determine what threshold value should be used for the correlation coefficient to extract high-quality apparent complex resistivity data and eliminate EM-contaminated data. We then compare the pseudosections with and without using the correlation analysis. When the correlation analysis is used, the noisy data are filtered out, and the target anomaly obtained through tomography is clearly enhanced. The inversion results of the apparent complex resistivity (amplitude and phase) for the survey area are consistent with some independent geologic and drilling information regarding the position of the ore body demonstrating the effectiveness of the approach.

In electrical exploration techniques, an effective suppression method for Gaussian and impulsive random noise in spread spectrum induced polarization (SSIP) continues to be challenging for conventional denoising methods. Remnant noise influences the complex resistivity spectrum and damages the subsequent interpretation of geophysical surveys. We present a hybrid method based on a correlation function and complex resistivity, which introduces the correlation analyses between the transmitting source, the measured potential, and the injected current signal. According to the analyses, reliable results for complex resistivity spectra can be calculated, which can be further used for noise suppression. We apply the hybrid method to both numerical and field experiments to process measured SSIP data. Simulation tests show that the hybrid method not only suppresses the two types of noise but also improves the relative error of the complex resistivity spectrum. Field data processing shows that the hybrid method can minimize the standard deviation of the data and possess a greater ability to distinguish adjacent objects, which can improve the reliability of the data in subsequent processing and interpretation.

Data Inversion

The conductive and capacitive material properties of the subsurface can be quantified through the frequency-dependent complex resistivity. However, the routine three-dimensional (3D) interpretation of voluminous induced polarization (IP) data sets still poses a challenge due to large computational demands and solution nonuniqueness. We have developed a flexible methodology for 3D (spectral) IP data inversion. Our inversion algorithm is adapted from a frequency-domain electromagnetic (EM) inversion method primarily developed for large-scale hydrocarbon and geothermal energy exploration purposes. The method has proven to be efficient by implementing the nonlinear conjugate gradient method with hierarchical parallelism and by using an optimal finite-difference forward modeling mesh design scheme. The method allows for a large range of survey scales, providing a tool for both exploration and environmental applications. We experimented with an image focusing technique to improve the poor depth resolution of surface data sets with small survey spreads. The algorithm’s underlying forward modeling operator properly accounts for EM coupling effects; thus, traditionally used EM coupling correction procedures are not needed. The methodology was applied to both synthetic and field data. We tested the benefit of directly inverting EM coupling contaminated data using a synthetic large-scale exploration data set. Afterward, we further tested the monitoring capability of our method by inverting time-lapse data from an environmental remediation experiment near Rifle, Colorado. Similar trends observed in both our solution and another 2D inversion were in accordance with previous findings about the IP effects due to subsurface microbial activity.

Capsaicinoid content, among other factors, affects the perception of spiciness of commercial kimchi. Here, we investigated whether the physicochemical properties of kimchi affect the spicy taste of capsaicinoids perceived by the tasting. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to evaluate the capsaicinoid content (mg/kg) of thirteen types of commercial kimchi. The physicochemical properties such as pH, titratable acidity, salinity, free sugar content, and free amino acid content were evaluated, and the spicy strength grade was determined by selected panel to analyze the correlation between these properties. Panels were trained for 48 h prior to actual evaluation by panel leaders trained for over 1000 h according to the SpectrumTM method. Partial correlation analysis was performed to examine other candidate parameters that interfere with the sensory evaluation of spiciness and capsaicinoid content. To express the specific variance after eliminating the effects of other variables, partial correlations were used to estimate the relationships between two variables. We observed a strong correlation between spiciness intensity ratings and capsaicinoid content, with a Pearson’s correlation coefficient of 0.78 at p ≤ 0.001. However, other specific variables may have influenced the relationship between spiciness intensity and total capsaicinoid content. Partial correlation analysis indicated that the free sugar content most strongly affected the relationship between spiciness intensity and capsaicinoid content, showing the largest first-order partial correlation coefficient (rxy/z: 0.091, p ≤ 0.01).

The results of the conducted studies 102 of the manufacturer testify to the presence of essential clinical and echographic, immunological and morphological features of the "wealthy" or "insolvent" scar on the uterus after the cesarean section. The correlation analysis with the calculation of the Correlation coefficient of Gamma (G) indicates a statistically significant relationship between the average degree between the way of the delivery and the scar thickness (G = 0.55, p = 0.001), strong correlation between the ultrasound data (G = 0.74 , p = 0.002) and antibodies to type I collagen (G = 0.93, p = 0.003). Determining the level of antibodies to the type I collagen is the mostimportant criterion confirming the usefulness of the scar on the uterus.Keywords: cesarean section, uterine scar, pregnancy

In presenting a variety of induced polarization spectral data, Zonge and Wynn refer to a paper published earlier by us (Van Voorhis et al., 1973) which deals with the same topic. We feel Zonge and Wynn have misrepresented our measuring techniques, data, and conclusions in their references to our paper. Our principal objections center on three statements by the authors.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present a procedure for finding unusual patterns in accredited tests using a rapid processing method for analyzing video records. The procedure uses the temporal differencing technique for object tracking and considers only frames not identified as statistically redundant. Design/methodology/approach An accreditation organization is responsible for accrediting facilities to undertake testing and calibration activities. Periodically, such organizations evaluate accredited testing facilities. These evaluations could use video records and photographs of the tests performed by the facility to judge their conformity to technical requirements. To validate the proposed procedure, a real-world data set with video records from accredited testing facilities in the field of vehicle safety in Brazil was used. The processing time of this proposed procedure was compared with the time needed to process the video records in a traditional fashion. Findings With an appropriate threshold value, the proposed procedure could successfully identify video records of fraudulent services. Processing time was faster than when a traditional method was employed. Originality/value Manually evaluating video records is time consuming and tedious. This paper proposes a procedure to rapidly find unusual patterns in videos of accredited tests with a minimum of manual effort.
