Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were employed to investigate the effects of adsorption of toxic carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen monoxide (NO) molecules on heterogeneous C₁₆Zn₈O₈ nanocage. A detailed analysis of the energetic, geometry, and electronic structure of various CO and NO adsorptions on the cluster surface was performed. It has been shown that CO molecule was adsorbed on the surface of the cluster resulting in more stable complex system, while NO molecule adsorption led to less stable system. These processes also changed the electronic properties of the cluster by reducing the HOMO/LUMO energy gap after adsorption process. Since this phenomenon led to an increment in the electrical conductivity of the cluster at a definite temperature, the C₁₆Zn₈O₈ was transformed to a stronger semiconductor substance upon the CO and NO adsorption. We believe that this research may be helpful in the several fields study such as sensor and catalyst investigation.  相似文献   

Imaging seismic data in complex structures by introducing the partial diffraction surface stack method

The common reflection surface (CRS) stack method is known as a generalized stacking velocity analysis tool and was originally introduced as a data-driven method to simulate zero-offset sections. However, this method has some difficulties in imaging complex structures and low-quality data. The problem of conflicting dips is one of the drawbacks of the CRS method addressed in many studies. The common diffraction surface (CDS) method was explicitly introduced to overcome this problem. In one study, the problem was resolved by combination of the CDS method and the common offset CRS method. The method was called the common offset CDS method showed successful application on improving image quality in semi-complex media. In this study, we combined the partial CRS with the CDS to derive the partial CDS for more efficient resolve of the conflicting dips problem. In the partial CDS, thresholds in the angle spectrum were removed for full contribution of all possible dips to have volume of operators for a sample point. The aperture definition in the partial CDS is the same as in the partial CRS, where an offset and time variant aperture is used. The new method was applied on a simple synthetic data set with much diffraction points imbedded in the model. Then it was applied to a semicomplex data set to enhance the body of mud volcanoes and faults. For better comparison, it was applied to two more real data sets from a complex overthrust zone to improve the seismic quality and remove the geological ambiguities in the interpretation. In the synthetic data example, more conflicting dips were resolved than in the other methods. In all real data examples, the enhanced partial CDS data were depth-migrated to compare them with the pre-stack depth migration of partial CRS gathers. More details of the geological structures can be observed in the new results.  相似文献   

Agricultural land partitioning model based on irrigation efficiency using a multi‐objective artificial bee colony algorithm

In the process of agricultural land consolidation, the land parcels are optimally redesigned and rearranged in such a way that the dimensions of the resulting parcels are proportional to agricultural criteria such as irrigation discharge, soil texture, and cropping pattern. Besides these criteria, spatial factors like slope, road accessibility, volume of earthwork, and geometrical factors such as size and shape of parcels are also included in the design process of agricultural land partitioning. In this study, a land partitioning model was proposed using a multi‐objective artificial bee colony algorithm (MOABC‐LP) taking into consideration the mentioned factors. Initially, a feasible dimension range of parcels in a block was calculated based on irrigation efficiency. Two partitioning layouts were defined according to the topography and geometry of blocks. The proposed method was applied to a real study area and the results suggest that the land partitioning plan obtained by the MOABC‐LP model, in comparison with a designer's plan, not only makes the shape and size of parcels more compatible with the topographical and agricultural conditions of each block, but also reduces their cut‐and‐fill ratio.  相似文献   

Calculation of fracture parameters and their effect on porosity and permeability using image logs and petrophysical data in carbonate Asmari reservoir,SW Iran

Evaluation of fractures and their parameters, such as aperture and density, is necessary in the optimization of oil production and field development. The purpose of this study is the calculation of fracture parameters in the Asmari reservoir using two electrical image logs (FMI, EMI), and the determination of fracture parameters’ effect on the porosity and permeability using thin sections and velocity deviation log (VDL). The results indicate that production in the Asmari reservoir is a combination of fractures and rock matrix. Fracture aperture (VAH) and fracture porosity (VPA) are only measurable with core and image logs directly. However, regarding core limitations, the image log has been recognized as the best method for fracture parameter determination due to their high resolution (2.5 mm). In this study, VDL log and thin sections have been used as auxiliary methods which may be available in all wells. The VDL log provides a tool to obtain downhole information about the predominant pore type in carbonates. Results indicate that between fracture parameters, VAH is considered as the most important parameter for determining permeability. For well No. 3, VAH ranges from minimum 51 × 10^?5 mm to maximum 0. 047 mm and VPA changes from min 10^?5% to maximum 0.02056%. For well No. 6, VAH varies from 5 × 10^?4 to 0.0695 mm and VPA varies from 10^?5 to 0.015%. Therefore, due to high fracture density and fracture aperture, it seems that most of effective porosity originates from fractures especially in well No. 3. However, VDL for well No. 6 indicates that intercrystalline and vuggy porosity are the dominant porosity. This result may be an indication for fracture set diversity in the two studied wells. While in well No. 3, they related to the folding and active faults, in well No. 6 they are only of folding type. Furthermore, results indicate the high capability for both of EMI and FMI image logs for calculation of fracture and vug parameters in the carbonate reservoirs.  相似文献
