A borehole direct‐current resistivity boundary value problem for normal and lateral elctrode configuratin is soved assuming axial symmetry. The borehole mud, a flushed zone, an invaded zone, and an unciontaminated zone are all assumed to be present. A linear transition in resistivity is assumed for the invaded zone. Frobenius extended power series and the method of separation of variables are used to solved the 1-D problem. Single-run borehole resistivity sounding and solution of the inverse problem are suggested fo estimatingthe resisitivity of the uncontaminated zone and the radius of invasion. Finite‐difference modeling is dione to estimate the effect of shoulder beds ion borehole sounding. Some of the computed 1-D and 2-D model apparent reisivity curves are compared with the existing scale model data. The analysis reveals that the mud cake effect is negligible for normal and lateral electrode array and the invasion zone thickness is feflected in the forward models. Apparent resistivity curves with and without a transitional invaded zone are well separated. Resistivity departure curves are well separated for fixed resistivity and variable resistivity invaded zone models. A normal electrode configuration can feel the presence of the shoulder bed in a 2-D model when the bed thickness is about 12 time the electrode separation. One‐dimensional ridge regression inversion the synthetic forward model data is presented to suggest an alternative approach for determining the resistivey of the uncontaminated zone ([Formula: see text]) and the radius of invasion [Formula: see text]. We conclude that (1) a single run borehole sounding with 10 or 12 data points from a normal or lateral log may be used, rather than 3 points from a dual laterolog [Formula: see text] tool, for better estimation of [Formula: see text], and (2) a borehole forward model should include a transitional invaded zone. Finally, an alternative approach for the estimation of the radius of invasion is proposed.

Abstract. This study presents the results of a combined measurement and modelling strategy to analyse N2O and CO2 emissions from adjacent arable land, forest and grassland sites in Hesse, Germany. The measured emissions reveal seasonal patterns and management effects, including fertilizer application, tillage, harvest and grazing. The measured annual N2O fluxes are 4.5, 0.4 and 0.1 kg N ha−1 a−1, and the CO2 fluxes are 20.0, 12.2 and 3.0 t C ha−1 a−1 for the arable land, grassland and forest sites, respectively. An innovative model–data fusion concept based on a multicriteria evaluation (soil moisture at different depths, yield, CO2 and N2O emissions) is used to rigorously test the LandscapeDNDC biogeochemical model. The model is run in a Latin-hypercube-based uncertainty analysis framework to constrain model parameter uncertainty and derive behavioural model runs. The results indicate that the model is generally capable of predicting trace gas emissions, as evaluated with RMSE as the objective function. The model shows a reasonable performance in simulating the ecosystem C and N balances. The model–data fusion concept helps to detect remaining model errors, such as missing (e.g. freeze–thaw cycling) or incomplete model processes (e.g. respiration rates after harvest). This concept further elucidates the identification of missing model input sources (e.g. the uptake of N through shallow groundwater on grassland during the vegetation period) and uncertainty in the measured validation data (e.g. forest N2O emissions in winter months). Guidance is provided to improve the model structure and field measurements to further advance landscape-scale model predictions.

The International Towing Tank Conference (ITTC) is to hold its 8th meeting in Madrid in September of this year. One of the subjects to be discussed will be the perennial one of how to estimate the resistance of a ship from that measured on a small-scale model in a towing tank. The Skin Friction Committee of the Conference was charged at the last meeting in Scandinavia in 1954, with reviewing the available data and making recommendations to the Conference in Madrid which will, it is hoped, be universally acceptable. Such a decision would remove one of the principal difficulties experienced in the use of model data in comparative studies. It is believed that a review of the present status of our knowledge in this field may be of interest to the members of the Society at this time.

Seabed logging (SBL) is an application of the marine controlled-source electromagnetic (CSEM) technique to discover offshore hydrocarbon reservoirs underneath the seabed. This application is based on electrical resistivity contrast between hydrocarbon and its surroundings. In this paper, simulation and forward modeling were performed to estimate the hydrocarbon depths in one-dimensional (1-D) SBL data. 1-D data, consisted offset distance (input) and magnitude of electric field (output), were acquired from SBL models developed using computer simulation technology (CST) software. The computer simulated outputs were observed at various depths of hydrocarbon reservoir (250 m–2,750 m with an increment of 250 m) with frequency of 0.125 Hz. Gaussian processes (GP) was employed in the forward modeling by utilizing prior information which is electric field (E-field) at all observed inputs to provide E-field profile at unobserved/untried inputs with uncertainty quantification in terms of variance. The concept was extended for two-dimensional (2-D) model. All observations of E-field were then investigated with the 2-D forward GP model. Root mean square error (RMSE) and coefficient of variation (CV) were utilized to compare the acquired and modeled data at random untried hydrocarbon depths at 400 m, 950 m, 1,450 m, 2,100 m and 2,600 m. Small RMSE and CV values have indicated that developed model can fit well the SBL data at untried hydrocarbon depths. The measured variances of the untried inputs revealed that the data points (true values) were very close to the estimated values, which was 0.003 (in average). RMSEs obtained were very small as an average of 0.049, and CVs found as very reliable percentages, an average of 0.914%, which implied well fitting of the GP model. Hence, the 2-D forward GP model is believed to be capable of predicting unobserved hydrocarbon depths.

This paper describes a method used to design the inlet section of a jet-engine test cell. Calculations, accomplished with the use of standard, tabulated flow formulas and coefficients which can be found in basic fluid-flow texts, are shown. The step-by-step procedure enables the reader to use the methods and formulas in this paper as a guide for solving similar problems. Selection of an optimum turning-vane configuration is described herein by the use of tufts of cotton in the air stream of the model. A table is included which compares the model data with actual full-scale construction at various stages.

Prestack computations for cross‐hole data are relatively expensive, as they are for prestack surface survey data. It is therefore of interest to develop methodologies for modeling and processing stacked cross‐hole data. In this context, stacking is over sources, not midpoints. Modeling with a line source produces data that are equivalent (by Huygen’s principle) to those obtained by stacking over a line of point sources. Reverse‐time finite‐difference migration may be applied to the resulting stacked section by generalizing the excitation‐ time imaging condition for a point source to a line source. Illustrations include successful applications to both synthetic data and scale‐model data.

Resilience by disaster need to be grown in individual’s self in order that does not become problem in the development of individual to become a better person. Many factors affect resilience, including gender, cultural background and attachment of parents. This study aims to test the relevancy of resilience with several factors. This research uses quantitative approach with comparative descriptive method. The population  is 912 students with a sample amounts 278 students with using Proportional Random Sampling. The instrument used is Likert scale model. Data were analyzed by three way ANOVA technique. The results showed that gender and attachment of parents affect individual’s resilience while culture significantly has no relevance resilience. The implications of this research will be discussed.

Abstract. The reconstructed surface temperature series from boreholes in Antarctica have significantly contributed to our understanding of centennial and multi-decadal temperature changes and thus provides us a good way to evaluate the climate model ability to reproduce low-frequency climate variability. However, up to now, there were no systematic model-data comparisons based on temperature from boreholes at regional or local scale in Antarctica. Here, we discuss two different ways to perform such a comparison using boreholes measurements and the corresponding reconstructions of surface temperature at West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS), Larissa, Mill Island and Styx in Antarctica. The standard approach is to compare climate model outputs at the grid point closest to each site with the reconstructions in the time domain derived from the direct borehole temperature observations. Although some characteristics of the reconstructions, for instance the non-uniform smoothing, limit to some extent the model-data comparison, several robust features can be evaluated. In addition, a more direct model-data comparison based on the temperature measured in the boreholes is conducted using a forward model that simulates explicitly the subsurface temperature profiles when driven with climate model outputs. This comparison in the depth domain provides many consistent signals with those in the time domain, but also suggest some information that we cannot extract from the comparison in the time domain. The major results from these comparisons are used to define some metrics derived from the borehole temperature data for future model-data comparison, and demonstrate the spatial representativity of the sites chosen for the metrics. The long term cooling trend in West Antarctica from 1000 to 1600 CE (−1.0 °C) is generally reproduced by the models, but often with a weaker amplitude. The 19th century cooling in the Antarctic Peninsula (−0.94 °C) is not reproduced by any of the models, which tend to show warming instead. The trend over the last 50 years is generally well reproduced in West Antarctica and at Larissa (Antarctic Peninsula), but overestimated at other sites. The wide range of simulated trends indicates the importance of internal variability on the observed trends, and show the value of model-data comparison to investigate the response to forcings.
