Subsurface heterogeneity characteristics are of major importance in hydrologic modeling, and likely result in anisotropic electrical properties. We computed the anisotropic effective complex resistivity of 2D bimodal facies distributions numerically. Complex resistivities of individual facies are described in terms of the Cole-Cole relaxation model. First, we determined that effective DC resistivities of the distributions can be reasonably well described by power averaging the properties of individual facies. We found a clear relationship between the mixing parameter and correlation lengths of the facies distributions with respect to horizontal and vertical directions. Then, we used the power-law mixing model to invert for individual Cole-Cole model parameters by fitting predicted electrical responses to simulated spectral effective complex-resistivity data for the two perpendicular directions. Thus, it is possible to derive the electrical properties of individual facies as well as structural parameters describing bimodal facies distribution by means of a noninvasive measurement approach. In particular, anisotropy of the spectral complex-resistivity response provides information on correlation lengths of the distribution. This finding is relevant for all applications of electrical-impedance spectroscopy where anisotropy might be encountered.

Reservoir fracture evaluation is an important research topic in the coalfield. In recent years, complex resistivity (CR) has been widely used in oil logging and achieved good results, such as permeability evaluation, water saturation (Sw) prediction, and aquifer identification. Therefore, the method has the potential to evaluate coal seam fracture. In the experiment, the real part R and imaginary part X of bituminous and anthracite coal with different Sw were measured by the impedance measuring instrument, then the Double Cole-Cole model was used to fit experimental data and analyze conductive mechanism. The main results are as follows: (1) the dispersion of CR parameters Reρ and Imρ is closely related to the metamorphism degree, frequency, and Sw; (2) induced polarization is the fundamental reason for the variation of coal samples’ complex resistivity parameters with frequency change; and (3) the Double Cole-Cole model agrees well with the experimental data, and the model parameters m1 and τ2 are strongly correlated with Sw. The parameters m1 and τ2 can be used to evaluate the Sw of fractures in coal seams and thus to evaluate the effect of hydraulic fracturing.

The physicochemical characterization of pharmaceutical materials is essential for drug discovery, development and evaluation, and for understanding and predicting their interaction with physiological systems. Amongst many measurement techniques for spectroscopic characterization of pharmaceutical materials, Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) is powerful as it can be used to model the electrical properties of pure substances and compounds in correlation with specific chemical composition. In particular, the accurate measurement of specific properties of drugs is important for evaluating physiological interaction. The electrochemical modelling of compounds is usually carried out using spectral impedance data over a wide frequency range, to fit a predetermined model of an equivalent electrochemical cell. This paper presents experimental results by EIS analysis of four drug formulations (trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole C14H18N4O3-C10H11N3O3, ambroxol C13H18Br2N2O.HCl, metamizole sodium C13H16N3NaO4S, and ranitidine C13H22N4O3S.HCl). A wide frequency range from 20 Hz to 30 MHz is used to evaluate system identification techniques using EIS data and to obtain process models. The results suggest that arrays of linear R-C models derived using system identification techniques in the frequency domain can be used to identify different compounds.

Cole‐Cole model parameters are widely used to interpret electrical geophysical methods and are obtained by inverting the induced polarization (IP) spectrum. This paper presents a direct inversion method for parameter estimation based on multifold least‐squares estimation. Two algorithms are described that provide optimal parameter estimation in the least‐squares sense. Simulations demonstrate that both algorithms can provide direct apparent spectral parameter inversion for complex resistivity data. Moreover, the second algorithm is robust under reasonably high noise.

Objectives. The electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is relatively new technique used in medicine. The main problems that should be solved are its low resolution and that it fails to distinguish between tissue types, so some kind of the contrast should be applied. Magnetical nanoparticles have been used for imaging and other medical applications. For that reason, our research group decided to analyse the changes of electrical properties of chicken muscle tissue caused by three different types of metal nanoparticles at 50KHz. Methodology. Bio-Logic Science Instruments SP-150 was used as EIS device. Three different particles were analysed: two types of nanomagnetite (NM1 and NM2) and one of Gold particles (GNP). NM1 and NM2 samples were synthetized by coprecipitation and combustion method, respectively. GNP were synthetized by Turkevich method. Nanoparticles were characterized by SEM and RAMAN spectroscopy. Four needles were placed in each chicken breast to connect the EIS device. Measurements were obtained from each chicken breast at basal stage and after being injected with nanoparticles. Data was analyzed by bode graphics (module and phase). Contribution. The major changes of electrical properties of tissue were evidenced by using NM1 and GNP.

Time domain induced polarization (TDIP) and frequency domain induced polarization (FDIP) synthetic models, incorporating three-dimensional (3D) anisotropic medium, were tested. In TDIP modeling, both resistivity and chargeability of the medium were anisotropic, and the apparent chargeability values were calculated by carrying out two resistivity forward calculations using resistivity with and without an IP effect. We analyzed the TDIP response of a 3D isotropic cube model embedded in the anisotropic subsurface half-space. In FDIP modeling, the complex resistivity of the medium at various frequencies was anisotropic. The complex resistivity was determined by a Cole-Cole model with anisotropic model parameters. We then analyzed the FDIP response of a 3D anisotropic cube model embedded in an isotropic subsurface half-space. Both of the TDIP and FDIP simulation results suggest that IP responses acquired in two orthogonal directions on the surface are different when the same arrays are used and acquisition in orthogonal directions helps resolve the presence of anisotropy. The anisotropy should be taken into account in practice for TDIP and FDIP exploration.

In near surface electrical exploration, it is often necessary to estimate the Cole-Cole model parameters according to the measured multi-frequency complex resistivity spectrum of ore and rock samples in advance. Parameter estimation is a nonlinear optimization problem, and the common method is least square fitting. The disadvantage of this method is that it relies on initial value and the result is unstable when data is confronted with noise interference. To further improve the accuracy of parameter estimation, this paper applied artificial neural network (ANN) method to the Cole-Cole model estimation. Firstly, a large number of forward models are generated as samples to train the neural network and when the data fitting error is lower than the error threshold, the training ends. The trained neural network is directly used to efficiently estimate the parameters of vast amounts of new data. The efficiency of the artificial neural network is analyzed by using simulated and measured spectral induced polarization data. The results show that artificial neural network method has a faster computing speed and higher accuracy in Cole-Cole model parameter estimation.

ABSTRACTPhysical properties and structural parameters have been measured for ropes of nylon 6 as a function of the number of use operations. The fractional content of the α crystal form, sound velocity, birefringence, tensile strength and length all increase systematically and significantly with increasing the number of use operations. The fractional content of the γ crystal form and fiber diameter decrease with use. These trends indicate that the measurement of such properties and structural parameters, especially the length, provide a possible basis for establishing a reliable, rapid, and convenient nondestructive characterization method to predict the remaining service life of nylon 6 ropes.

Porosity variations induced by swelling agent exchange were studied in a styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer. Standard methods were used in the characterization of copolymer porosity in the dry state and the results were compared with related structural parameters derived from small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) measurements as developed for the characterization of two-phase systems. The SAXS method was also used for porosity determination in swollen samples. The differences in the porosity of dry samples were found to be an effect of the drying process, while in the swollen state the sample swells and deswells isotropically.

Ultrafiltration cellulose acetate membrane can be transformed by annealing into reverse osmosis membranes (RO type). Annealing brings about changes in structural properties of the membranes, accompanied by changes in their permeability behaviour and electrical properties. Correlations between structure parameters and electrochemical properties are shown for the temperature range 20-90 °C. Relations have been derived which explain the role played by the dc electrical conductivity in the characterization of rejection ability of the membranes in the reverse osmosis, i.e. rRO = (1 + exp (A-B))-1, where exp A and exp B are statistically significant correlation functions of electrical conductivity and salt permeation, or of electrical conductivity and water flux through the membrane, respectively.

In the last decade, an increasingly common method of maize stover management is to use it for energy generation, including anaerobic digestion for biogas production. Therefore, the aim of this study was to provide a chemical and structural characterization of maize stover fractions and, based on these parameters, to evaluate the potential application of these fractions, including forbiogas production. In the study, maize stover fractions, including cobs, husks, leaves and stalks, were used. The biomass samples were characterized by infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction and analysis of elemental composition. Among all maize stover fractions, stalks showed the highest C:N ratio, degree of crystallinity and cellulose and lignin contents. The high crystallinity index of stalks (38%) is associated with their high cellulose content (44.87%). FTIR analysis showed that the spectrum of maize stalks is characterized by the highest intensity of bands at 1512 cm−1 and 1384 cm−1, which are the characteristic bands of lignin and cellulose. Obtained results indicate that the maize stover fraction has an influence on the chemical and structural parameters. Moreover, presented results indicate that stalks are characterized by the most favorable chemical parameters for biogas production.
