Gravity And Magnetic Anomaly

<p>The traditional gravity and magnetic correspondence analysis tends to have high correlation outside the field source area. In order to overcome the disadvantage, we propose a new method for identify the source position and attribute, which is based on similarity and vertical derivative of potential field. In this method, we put forward a new gravity and magnetic correlation parameter (GMCP), which can effectively reduce the range of potential field source and indicate the field intensity information. The distribution of the non-zero areas of GMCP reflects the size of the source. GMCP discriminant parameter values of positive and negative reflect the source attribute. When GMCP is greater than zero, it is a positive correlation indicating that there are high-density and high-magnetization or low-density and low-magnetization homologous bodies in this region; When GMCP is less than zero, it is negative correlation indicating that there are high-density and low-magnetic or low-density and high-magnetic density homologous bodies in this region. GMCP goes to zero, which means no gravity-magnetic homologous geological body. Complex models test results with different noise level and actual data processing of South China Sea Basin show the correctness and validity of identification of the proposed methods.</p>

I read with interest the article concerning modeling the Hamilton County, Indiana, gravity and magnetic anomaly. The authors’ method for outlining the igneous body by downward continuation aroused my curiosity to the point that I decided to study the results in detail. My investigation revealed that the calculated gravity effect of the model did not satisfy the observed gravity anomaly. In fact, the amount of mismatch is quite serious.

Gravity And Magnetic Anomaly

We present a new method for interpreting isolated potential‐field (gravity and magnetic) anomaly data. A linear equation, involving a symmetric anomalous field and its horizontal gradient, is derived to provide both the depth and nature of the buried sources. In many currently available methods, either higher order derivatives or postprocessing is necessary to extract both pieces of information; therefore, data must be of very high quality. In contrast, for gravity work with our method, only a first‐order horizontal derivative is needed and the traditional data quality is sufficient. Our proposed method is similar to the Euler technique; it uses a shape factor instead of a structural index to characterize the buried sources. The method is tested using theoretical anomaly data with and without random noise. In all cases, the method adequately estimates the location and the approximate shape of the source. The practical utility of the method is demonstrated using gravity and magnetic field examples from the United States and Zimbabwe.

Gravity And Magnetic Anomaly

I have developed an improved practical method for interpreting a symmetrical-shaped potential field anomaly due to an isolated source body of regular geometric configuration. The method uses the first-order horizontal derivative of the logarithmically transformed absolute value of the anomaly in estimating the source-body parameters, such as the location, depth of burial, and shape factor. To tackle noise in data, a regularization technique is designed, which ensures a robust estimate of the first-order derivative of logarithmically transformed data. The regularization technique uses an optimal value of regularization parameter that, although noise dependent, requires no a priori knowledge of the noise level in the data. A graphical method is designed to determine an optimal value of the regularization parameter from the position of the local minimum of a specially defined functional with respect to the regularization parameters. Numerical tests have been conducted on the noise-contaminated synthetic data to validate the proposed method. The successful application of the method on published field data for the gravity and magnetic anomaly suggests the applicability of the method.

Induced Defects

Due to the wealth of information, both analytical and structural that can be obtained from it TEM always has been a favorite tool for the analysis of process-induced defects in semiconductor wafers. The only major disadvantage has always been, that the volume under study in the TEM is relatively small, making it difficult to locate low density defects, and sample preparation is a somewhat lengthy procedure. This problem has been somewhat alleviated by the availability of efficient low angle milling.Using a PIPS® variable angle ion -mill, manufactured by Gatan, we have been consistently obtaining planar specimens with a high quality thin area in excess of 5 × 104 μm2 in about half an hour (milling time), which has made it possible to locate defects at lower densities, or, for defects of relatively high density, obtain information which is statistically more significant (table 1).

SummaryElectron microscopy and particle electrophoresis were found to be complementary techniques with which to complete the physical data from an earlier study on barium sulphates used to adsorb clotting factors from serum. The differences revealed by scanning electron microscopy (S. E. M.) in the physical shape of low and high density grades of barium sulphate particles appear to be of greater significance than charge as expressed by electrophoretic mobility, in determining whether or not precursor or preformed factor Xa is eluted.This conclusion was based on the finding that at pH values close to 7, where the adsorption from serum occurs, all samples with the exception of natural barytes were uncharged. However as the high-density, or soil-grade, was found by S. E. M. to consist of large solid crystals it was suggested that this shape might induce activation of factor X as a result of partial denaturation and consequent unfolding of the adsorbed protein. In contrast, uptake of protein into the centre of the porous aggregates revealed by S. E. M. pictures of low-density or X-ray grade barium sulphate may afford protection against denaturation and exposure of the enzyme site.The porous nature of particles of low-density barium sulphate compared with the solid crystalline forms of other grades accounts not only for its lower bulk density but also for its greater surface/gram ratio which is reflected by an ability to adsorb more protein from serum.Neither technique produced evidence from any of the samples to indicate the presence of stabilising agents sometimes used to coat particles in barium meals.

Low-temperature properties of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), low-density polyethylene (LDPE), linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), and their blends were studied. The analyzed low-temperature mechanical properties involve the deformation resistance and impact strength characteristics. HDPE is a bimodal ethylene/1-hexene copolymer; LDPE is a branched ethylene homopolymer containing short-chain branches of different length; LLDPE is a binary ethylene/1-butene copolymer and an ethylene/1-butene/1-hexene terpolymer. The samples of copolymers and their blends were studied by gel permeation chromatography (GPC), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), 13С NMR spectroscopy, and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) using testing machines equipped with a cryochamber. It is proposed that such parameters as “relative elongation at break at −45 °C” and “Izod impact strength at −40 °C” are used instead of the ductile-to-brittle transition temperature to assess frost resistance properties because these parameters are more sensitive to deformation and impact at subzero temperatures for HDPE. LLDPE is shown to exhibit higher relative elongation at break at −45 °C and Izod impact strength at −20 ÷ 60 °C compared to those of LDPE. LLDPE terpolymer added to HDPE (at a content ≥ 25 wt.%) simultaneously increases flow properties and improves tensile properties of the blend at −45 °C. Changes in low-temperature properties as a function of molecular weight, MWD, crystallinity, and branch content were determined for HDPE, LLDPE, and their blends. The DMA data prove the resulting dependences. The reported findings allow one to understand and predict mechanical properties in the HDPE–LLDPE systems at subzero temperatures.
