Asumiendo que la relación entre máxima longitud y máximo desplazamiento en las fallas es lineal, investigamos los efectos de considerar distintos componentes del desplazamiento, del nivel de observación, y la presencia de enlace de fallas. Para ello usamos datos de las fallas normales del bloque Akal, en el campo petrolero de Cantarell, localizado en el Golfo de México frente a las costas de Campeche. Los datos que se utilizaron fueron tomados de mapas de contornos de cuatro horizontes diferentes. Los resultados obtenidos pueden resumirse de la manera siguiente: (1) el desplazamiento al echado es mejor que el desplazamiento vertical para el análisis de la relación D-L; (2) utilizando fallas que muestran sus dos terminaciones se logran mejores coeficientes de correlación lineal entre D y L, que utilizando fallas con una sola o ninguna terminación; (3) los coeficientes de correlación (RL2) obtenidos para las gráficas D-L en cada horizonte son distintos, lo que indica que los valores de (RL2) son dependientes del nivel de observación.

AbstractWe administered an online choice experiment to a sample of U.S. raw-oyster consumers to identify factors influencing preferences for Gulf of Mexico oysters, determined the extent of preference heterogeneity, and estimated marginal willingness to pay for specific varieties and other key attributes. Results indicate significant preference heterogeneity among select varieties, with non-Gulf respondents estimated to require a price discount on Gulf oyster varieties on the order of $3–$6/half dozen. Gulf respondents were found to be less sensitive to oyster variety, and estimated to be willing to pay a price premium only for select Gulf varieties on the order of $0–$3/half dozen.

Tracy and Doremus have demonstrated chemical bonding between bone and hydroxylapatite with transmission electron microscopy. Now researchers ponder how to improve upon this bond in turn improving the life expectancy and biocompatibility of implantable orthopedic devices.This report focuses on a study of the- chemical influences on the interfacial integrity and strength. Pure hydroxylapatite (HAP), magnesium doped HAP, strontium doped HAP, bioglass and medical grade titanium cylinders were implanted into the tibial cortices of New Zealand white rabbits. After 12 weeks, the implants were retrieved for a scanning electron microscopy study coupled with energy dispersive spectroscopy.Following sacrifice and careful retrieval, the samples were dehydrated through a graduated series starting with 50% ethanol and continuing through 60, 70, 80, 90, 95, and 100% ethanol over a period of two days. The samples were embedded in LR White. Again a graduated series was used with solutions of 50, 75 and 100% LR White diluted in ethanol.
