Stratigraphic filtering (SF), or short-period multiples, is prominent in cyclically stratified sedimentation with large impedance contrasts that result in normal-incident reflection magnitudes greater than 0.5. Because SF attenuates and delays the propagating wavelet, similar to the effects of [Formula: see text] attenuation, the integrity of well ties is often jeopardized. A method is proposed to obtain better well ties in areas with severe SF. Starting with a well-log acoustic impedance curve, two-way transmitted wavefields and their equivalent inverse filters are generated at each time sample. Because a time-varying convolution of the transmitted wavefields with the primary-only reflectivity yields the multiple reflectivity, a time-varying deconvolution of the multiple synthetic with the inverse filters yields the primary-only reflectivity. In essence, when the multiple synthetic matches the near-angle stack at a well location, the near-angle stack is deconvolved in a time-varying fashion to match the primary-only synthetic, which then constitutes a correlation with the acoustic impedance yielding a good well tie. This new well-tie technique preserves the integrity of the lithologic interpretation because stretching and squeezing the time scale of the primary-only synthetic to force a seismic match are avoided. Our well-tie method is applied to the synthetic and field data from Cooper Basin, Australia, where more than 30 coal beds are observed within a 1000 ft (304 m) interval.

Acoustic impedance (AI) inversion is of great interest because it extracts information regarding rock properties from seismic data and has successful applications in reservoir characterization. During wave propagation, anelastic attenuation and dispersion always occur because the subsurface is not perfectly elastic, thereby diminishing the seismic resolution. AI inversion based on the convolutional model requires that the input data be free of attenuation effects; otherwise, low-resolution results are inevitable. The intrinsic instability that occurs while compensating for the anelastic effects via inverse [Formula: see text] filtering is notorious. The gain-limit inverse [Formula: see text] filtering method cannot compensate for strongly attenuated high-frequency components. A nonstationary sparse reflectivity inversion (NSRI) method can estimate the reflectivity series from attenuated seismic data without the instability issue. Although AI is obtainable from an inverted reflectivity series through recursion, small inaccuracies in the reflectivity series can result in large perturbations in the AI result because of the cumulative effects. To address these issues, we have developed a [Formula: see text]-compensated AI inversion method that directly retrieves high-resolution AI from attenuated seismic data without prior inverse [Formula: see text] filtering based on the theory of NSRI and AI inversion. This approach circumvents the intrinsic instability of inverse [Formula: see text] filtering by integrating the [Formula: see text] filtering operator into the convolutional model and solving the inverse problem iteratively. This approach also avoids the ill-conditioned nature of the recursion scheme for transforming an inverted reflectivity series to AI. Experiments on a benchmark Marmousi2 model validate the feasibility and capabilities of our method. Applications to two field data sets verify that the inversion results generated by our approach are mostly consistent with the well logs.

Contralateral acoustic-reflex measurements were taken for 10 normal-hearing subjects using a pulsed broadband noise as the reflex-activating signal. Acoustic impedance was measured at selected times during the on (response maximum) and off (response minimum) portions of the pulsed activator over a 2-min interval as a function of activator period and duty cycle. Major findings were that response maxima increased as a function of time for longer duty cycles and that response minima increased as a function of time for all duty cycles. It is hypothesized that these findings are attributable to the recovery characteristics of the stapedius muscle. An explanation of portions of the results from previous temporary threshold shift experiments on the basis of acoustic-reflex dynamics is proposed.

Regulation of the financial services authority (OJK) No. 31/POJK.05/2016 on Venture had arranged that the financial services agency on the basis of the law of pledge is in coaching and supervision OJK. Yet the existence of laws – invitation to Governing Enterprise pawn shops causing business activities conducted by the above parties are not yet regulated. The condition is feared could cause harm to the consumer society. The purpose of this research is to know the procedures, mechanisms, protection of goods and guarantee the consumer on an informal pledge financing, methods of determination of the cost of maintenance of the goods and the goods of the execution mechanism of the pledge as well as protection for the collateral items are viewed from the side of the consumer by looking at laws-invitations and Sharia. To find out whether the pledge have gotten permission from OJK. This research uses qualitative research methods with the study of library research, field data and simulations. The approach used in this study is the empirical juridical approach. Elaboration upon the results is discussed further in this article.
