Analysis of refracted first breaks has traditionally assumed that the data have been collected using special geometries that enhance the results, e.g. reversed profiles with regularly spaced geophones in-line between two shots. The geometries used to collect most 3D reflection data are quite different. Thus refraction analysis to obtain statics using traditional methods requires both approximations and selection of a subset of the data. The surface-consistent method allows use of nearly all the data, thus providing the high redundancy required for statistical robustness. A large survey incorporating both a new 3D survey and older 2D lines yielded refraction statics that greatly improved the final results.The surface-consistent method assumes that the refractor can be approximated by a horizontal plane under each station. When the refracting surface is steeply dipping, this assumption may break down. The Generalized Reciprocal Method is a traditional refraction analysis technique that gives improved results for steeply-dipping refracting surfaces. The surface-consistent method can also be made less sensitive to dip by a generalization, i.e. assume a dipping plane under each station. The refracting surface between the stations can be approximated by interpolation of these planes using the "linear projection" technique. A comparison of results using the two surface-consistent methods on synthetic data generated from a model of a buried, steep-walled valley shows the superior results obtainable.

Tilted orthorhombic (TOR) models are typical for dipping anisotropic layers, such as fractured shales, and can also be due to nonhydrostatic stress fields. Velocity analysis for TOR media, however, is complicated by the large number of independent parameters. Using multicomponent wide-azimuth reflection data, we develop stacking-velocity tomography to estimate the interval parameters of TOR media composed of homogeneous layers separated by plane dipping interfaces. The normal-moveout (NMO) ellipses, zero-offset traveltimes, and reflection time slopes of P-waves and split S-waves ([Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]) are used to invert for the interval TOR parameters including the orientation of the symmetry planes. We show that the inversion can be facilitated by assuming that the reflector coincides with one of the symmetry planes, which is a common geologic constraint often employed for tilted transversely isotropic media. This constraint makes the inversion for a single TOR layer feasible even when the initial model is purely isotropic. If the dip plane is also aligned with one of the symmetry planes, we show that the inverse problem for [Formula: see text]-, [Formula: see text]-, and [Formula: see text]-waves can be solved analytically. When only [Formula: see text]-wave data are available, parameter estimation requires combining NMO ellipses from a horizontal and dipping interface. Because of the increase in the number of independent measurements for layered TOR media, constraining the reflector orientation is required only for the subsurface layer. However, the inversion results generally deteriorate with depth because of error accumulation. Using tests on synthetic data, we demonstrate that additional information such as knowledge of the vertical velocities (which may be available from check shots or well logs) and the constraint on the reflector orientation can significantly improve the accuracy and stability of interval parameter estimation.

Over a decade ago there was some controversy about the selection of an international standard airfield approach lighting system. At a very late stage, the R.A.E. produced a visual simulator of great simplicity on which any administrator could fly approaches using any of the rival systems. His performance could be checked but, what is far more important, he obtained personal and realistic visual experience. If this simulator had been available in 1945 it might have saved many millions spent on the flight evaluations of the rival systems and years of international conferences.In the present controversy on collision avoidance regulations in the air and at sea, time and wealth could be saved by the creation of a visual and dynamic simulator in which all persons attending symposiums on collision problems could obtain synthetic visual experience of the present day avoidance regulations and of the new conventions proposed by E. S. Calvert and S. H. Hollingdale.Curiously enough, such a simulator would not be very costly. It would consist of a very large hangar and a number of small electric two-seater cars somewhat similar to those known as ‘Dodgems’ often seen at Funfairs.It would be used quite effectively for simulating air traffic as a high percentage of all near-misses occur in the horizontal plane but it would be desirable to gimbal the cars so that they can bank when turning.Simulation of nocturnal traffic requires only black-out and navigation lights.

We recently showed that in order to detect intra-tumor heterogeneity a Divide-and-Conquer (DAC) strategy of tumor sampling outperforms current routine protocols. This paper is a continuation of this work, but here we focus on DAC implementation in the Pathology Laboratory. In particular, we describe a new simple method that makes use of a cutting grid device and is applied to clear cell renal cell carcinomas for DAC implementation. This method assures a thorough sampling of large surgical specimens, facilitates the demonstration of intratumor heterogeneity, and saves time to pathologists in the daily practice. The method involves the following steps: 1. Thin slicing of the tumor (by hand or machine), 2. Application of a cutting grid to the slices (e.g., a French fry cutter), resulting in multiple tissue cubes with fixed position within the slice, 3. Selection of tissue cubes for analysis, and finally, 4. Inclusion of selected cubes into a cassette for histological processing (with about eight tissue fragments within each cassette). Thus, using our approach in a 10 cm in-diameter-tumor we generate 80 tumor tissue fragments placed in 10 cassettes and, notably, in a tenth of time. Eighty samples obtained across all the regions of the tumor will assure a much higher performance in detecting intratumor heterogeneity, as proved recently with synthetic data.

Collection of high-throughput data has become prevalent in biology. Large datasets allow the use of statistical constructs such as binning and linear regression to quantify relationships between variables and hypothesize underlying biological mechanisms based on it. We discuss several such examples in relation to single-cell data and cellular growth. In particular, we show instances where what appears to be ordinary use of these statistical methods leads to incorrect conclusions such as growth being non-exponential as opposed to exponential and vice versa. We propose that the data analysis and its interpretation should be done in the context of a generative model, if possible. In this way, the statistical methods can be validated either analytically or against synthetic data generated via the use of the model, leading to a consistent method for inferring biological mechanisms from data. On applying the validated methods of data analysis to infer cellular growth on our experimental data, we find the growth of length in E. coli to be non-exponential. Our analysis shows that in the later stages of the cell cycle the growth rate is faster than exponential.

Abstract. We aim to monitor and characterize signals in the subsurface by combining these passive signals with recorded reflection data at the surface of the Earth. To achieve this, we propose a method to create virtual receivers from reflection data using the Marchenko method. By applying homogeneous Green’s function retrieval, these virtual receivers are then used to monitor the responses from subsurface sources. We consider monopole point sources with a symmetric source signal, for which the full wave field without artifacts in the subsurface can be obtained. Responses from more complex source mechanisms, such as double-couple sources, can also be used and provide results with comparable quality to the monopole responses. If the source signal is not symmetric in time, our technique based on homogeneous Green’s function retrieval provides an incomplete signal, with additional artifacts. The duration of these artifacts is limited and they are only present when the source of the signal is located above the virtual receiver. For sources along a fault rupture, this limitation is also present and more severe due to the source activating over a longer period of time. Part of the correct signal is still retrieved, as is the source location of the signal. These artifacts do not occur in another method that creates virtual sources as well as receivers from reflection data at the surface. This second method can be used to forecast responses to possible future induced seismicity sources (monopoles, double-couple sources and fault ruptures). This method is applied to field data, and similar results to the ones on synthetic data are achieved, which shows the potential for application on real data signals.
