Calculation of the Inverse of the Covariance     

Dean S. Oliver 《Mathematical Geology》1998,30(7):911-933

In reservoir characterization, the covariance is often used to describe the spatial correlation and variation in rock properties or the uncertainty in rock properties. The inverse of the covariance, on the other hand, is seldom discussed in geostatistics. In this paper, I show that the inverse is required for simulation and estimation of Gaussian random fields, and that it can be identified with the differential operator in regularized inverse theory. Unfortunately, because the covariance matrix for parameters in reservoir models can be extremely large, calculation of the inverse can be a problem. In this paper, I discuss four methods of calculating the inverse of the covariance, two of which are analytical, and two of which are purely numerical. By taking advantage of the assumed stationarity of the covariance, none of the methods require inversion of the full covariance matrix.  相似文献   

Growth rates of manganese nodules in Oneida Lake,New York     

Willard S. Moore  Walter E. Dean  S. Krishnaswami  D.V. Borole 《Earth and Planetary Science Letters》1980,46(2):191-200

²²⁶Ra is used to document the growth histories of six manganese nodules from Oneida Lake, New York. Detailed sectioning and analysis reveal that there are discontinuous gradients in²²⁶Ra content in these samples. These gradients result from periods of rapid growth (>1 mm/100 years) separated by periods of no growth of erosion. Although the²²⁶Ra “age” of the nodules approximates the age of Oneida Lake, the nodules are not sediment-covered because they occur only in areas of the lake where fine-grained sediments are not accumulating.  相似文献

A method for studying iron silicate liquids under reducing conditions with negligible iron loss     

Dean C. Presnall  Norma L. Brenner 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》1974,38(12):1785-1788

In studies of iron silicate liquids under reducing conditions at 1 atm pressure, iron losses from the melt can be minimized by suspending the liquid as a drop from a short segment of fine Pt wire. For a basaltic composition at 1275°C and oxygen fugacities appropriate to terrestrial magmas, iron losses from the melt are less than 0.5 wt.% of the amount present for run times less than about 20 hr.  相似文献

Triaxial induction tool with electrode sleeve: FD modeling in 3D geometries     

Sofia Davydycheva  Dean Homan  Gerald Minerbo 《Journal of Applied Geophysics》2009,67(1):98-108

We have developed a finite-difference (FD) method to model the response of a multiple-spacing triaxial array induction tool with a multiple-electrode type sleeve. The FD software was verified versus two other independent modeling methods. The model response was checked for the FD grid refinement, while attempting to minimize run time. Many details of the electrode-sleeve geometry were studied using this method that led to the final electrode-sleeve design. The electrode sleeve reduces the response of the transverse couplings to eccentering in a conductive borehole. Quantitative agreement was found between the measurements and calculations. Using the FD software we study the tool response to various effects of 3D geometry.  相似文献   

The evolution of coronal magnetic fields   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

E. R. Priest  T. G. Forbes 《Solar physics》1990,130(1-2):399-402

Slow photospheric motions can produce flow speeds in the corona which are fast enough to violate quasi-static evolution. Therefore, high-speed flows observed in the corona are not necessarily due to a loss of equilibrium or stability. In this letter we present an example where the flow speed increases indefinitely with, height, while the coronal magnetic energy increases quadratically with time.  相似文献   

建筑物立面分类与DIM点云滤波     

崔颖  黄鹤  刘祥磊  罗德安 《测绘通报》2021,(3):55-59

针对目前基于近景摄影测量方法构建建筑物立面模型过程中因密集影像匹配（DIM）点云噪声所引起的建筑物立面TIN网格模型畸变问题,本文借鉴机器学习中样本学习的思想,对建筑物立面进行了分类并对DIM点云提出了相应的滤波方法,以达到去除DIM点云噪声和改善其TIN网格模型畸变的目的。其中,针对平面结构立面,采取先对点云样本进行学习计算构建数学立面模型所需参数,再对该立面模型设定阈值并对其点云进行滤波处理的方法;针对曲面结构立面,则结合DIM点云特性先将点云样本分类标记归为立面点与非立面点,再进行样本特征值学习,使用Logistic回归算法迭代计算求解最佳回归系数,从而构建滤波分类器的方法对立面点云进行滤波处理。试验结果表明,本文滤波处理方法能将立面DIM点云噪声有效识别并去除,而且使用该方法处理后所得点云构建的建筑物立面TIN网格模型精细化程度得到有效提高,模型质量得到明显改善。  相似文献   

Controls on biochemical oxygen demand in the upper Klamath River,Oregon     

Annett B. Sullivan  Dean M. Snyder  Stewart A. Rounds 《Chemical Geology》2010,269(1-2):12-21

A series of 30-day biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) experiments were conducted on water column samples from a reach of the upper Klamath River that experiences hypoxia and anoxia in summer. Samples were incubated with added nitrification inhibitor to measure carbonaceous BOD (CBOD), untreated to measure total BOD, which included demand from nitrogenous BOD (NBOD), and coarse-filtered to examine the effect of removing large particulate matter. All BOD data were fit well with a two-group model, so named because it considered contributions from both labile and refractory pools of carbon: BOD_t = a₁(1 ? e^? a₀t) + a₂t. Site-average labile first-order decay rates a₀ ranged from 0.15 to 0.22/day for CBOD and 0.11 to 0.29/day for BOD. Site-average values of refractory zero-order decay rates a₂ ranged from 0.13 to 0.25 mg/L/day for CBOD and 0.01 to 0.45 mg/L/day for BOD; the zero-order CBOD decay rate increased from early- to mid-summer. Values of ultimate CBOD for the labile component a₁ ranged from 5.5 to 28.8 mg/L for CBOD, and 7.6 to 30.8 mg/L for BOD. Two upstream sites had higher CBOD compared to those downstream. Maximum measured total BOD₅ and BOD₃₀ during the study were 26.5 and 55.4 mg/L; minimums were 4.2 and 13.6 mg/L. For most samples, the oxygen demand from the three components considered here were: labile CBOD > NBOD > refractory CBOD, though the relative importance of refractory CBOD to oxygen demand increased over time. Coarse-filtering reduced CBOD for samples with high particulate carbon and high biovolumes of Aphanizomenon flos-aquae. There was a strong positive correlation between BOD, CBOD, and the labile component of CBOD to particulate C and N, with weaker positive correlation to field pH, field dissolved oxygen, and total N. The refractory component of CBOD was not correlated to particulate matter, instead showing weak but statistically significant correlation to dissolved organic carbon, UV absorbance at 254 nm, and total N. Particulate organic matter, especially the alga A.flos-aquae, is an important component of oxygen demand in this reach of the Klamath River, though refractory dissolved organic matter would continue to exert an oxygen demand over longer time periods and as water travels downstream.  相似文献
