Multi-component seismic data contain a great deal of vector field information that reflects the situation of the underground medium. However, the processing methods used for multi-component seismic data are still being developed, and effectively retaining and using this information is the difficulty and the focus of the task. Currently, the main-stream processing techniques of multi-component seismic data treat the individual components independently as a scalar field; in this way, they do not excavate the vector features of the wavefield, thus restricting the potential utilities of the effective information. Research into processing methods that are suitable for use with the vector field, which can better retain and use the orientations and the relative amplitude relationship between multi-component seismic data, is urgently needed and represent an important direction for the current development of multi-component seismic data processing techniques. In this paper, we introduce and summarize several existing vector pre-processing techniques, including polarization filtering, de-noising using vector order statistics, group sparse representation, and vector separation of compressional waves and shear waves, to help scholars develop more effective vector field processing methods and to promote the development of vector processing techniques for multi-component seismic data.

Abstract Objective To understand how consumer questions on online resources differ from questions asked by professionals, and how such consumer questions differ across resources. Materials and Methods Ten online question corpora, 5 consumer and 5 professional, with a combined total of over 40 000 questions, were analyzed using a variety of natural language processing techniques. These techniques analyze questions at the lexical, syntactic, and semantic levels, exposing differences in both form and content. Results Consumer questions tend to be longer than professional questions, more closely resemble open-domain language, and focus far more on medical problems. Consumers ask more sub-questions, provide far more background information, and ask different types of questions than professionals. Furthermore, there is substantial variance of these factors between the different consumer corpora. Discussion The form of consumer questions is highly dependent upon the individual online resource, especially in the amount of background information provided. Professionals, on the other hand, provide very little background information and often ask much shorter questions. The content of consumer questions is also highly dependent upon the resource. While professional questions commonly discuss treatments and tests, consumer questions focus disproportionately on symptoms and diseases. Further, consumers place far more emphasis on certain types of health problems (eg, sexual health). Conclusion Websites for consumers to submit health questions are a popular online resource filling important gaps in consumer health information. By analyzing how consumers write questions on these resources, we can better understand these gaps and create solutions for improving information access.

Mycotoxins like aflatoxins, ochratoxins, patulin, citrinin, deoxynivalenol (DON), fumonisins, trichothecenes, etc., produced by molds (Aspergillus avus, A. parasiticus, Penicillin spp, etc.) could occupy such grains as peanuts, millet, sunower, cassava, beans, sesame, sorghum, maize, etc. In order to either eliminate and or reduce the levels of mycotoxins, as well as detection limits, there are a number of grain processing techniques that have been reported in the literature. In this article, an overview of the effectiveness of grain processing methods to eliminate mycotoxins was performed. Specifically, the grain processing techniques considered include: extrusion, alkaline cooking, flaking, roasting, frying, baking, milling, cooking, cold plasma, cleaning, trimming, sorting, as well as chemical treatments like the use of sodium hydroxide, citric acid, sodium bisulfite and ammonia. Overall, while most methods seem effective in reducing some mycotoxins over others, more studies are required to identify how these methods particularly their combinations would elevate the removal/degradation of mycotoxins in grains, particularly to safer levels.

Abstract We develop a data editing method, for the optimum interpolation of multichannel time series containing time-coincident data gaps, in one, several, or all channels based upon the autoregressive data model. The method is applied to a set of very long-period seismic data recorded during the 19 August 1977 Indonesian earthquake, which shows several unassociated bursts of noise. Spectral analysis following editing and interpolation of the record indicates existence of systematic signals with periods higher than 1 hr and perhaps as long as 2 hr. The individual spectral peaks in this subseismic band have not been identified.

The deepwater Cenozoic strata in the North Carnarvon Basin, Australia, represent an interval of interest for stratigraphic studies in passive margins settings of mixed siliciclastic-carbonate environments. We have explored the geomorphological characteristics of a mass-transport deposit (MTD) within the Trealla Limestone Formation to describe in detail the differences among the blocks. To characterize the individual geometry and structural configuration of the blocks within the MTD, we used geometric seismic attributes such as coherence, curvature, dip azimuth, and dip magnitude using horizon slices and vertical profiles. The evaluation finds two types of blocks: remnant and glide (or rafted) blocks. Remnant blocks are in situ and stratigraphically continuous fragments with the underlying strata. This type of block is frequently fault-bounded and displays low deformation evidence. Glide blocks are part of the transported material detached from a paleoslope. These blocks are deformed and occasionally appear as “floating” fragments embedded within a chaotic matrix in the MTD. Glide blocks are used as kinematic indicators of the direction of deposition of MTDs. We evaluate these elements in a modern continental analog that resembles a similar setting for a better understanding of the slide occurrence. Geological feature: Glide blocks, North Carnarvon Basin, Australia Seismic appearance: Discrete angular blocks with internal reflectors Alternative interpretations: Differential dissolution in a mixed siliciclastic-carbonate environment Features with a similar appearance: Carbonate buildups, differential dissolution blocks Formation: Trealla Limestone Formation, North Carnarvon Basin Age: Early-Middle Miocene Location: Offshore Northwest Australia, North Carnarvon Basin Seismic data: Obtained from Western Australian Petroleum and Geothermal Information Management System, Draeck 3D seismic data set Analysis tools: Visualization software (Petrel 2019) and attribute performance software (AASPI 6.0)

The Hartley transform (HT) is an integral transform similar to the Fourier transform (FT). It has most of the characteristics of the FT. Several authors have shown that fast algorithms can be constructed for the fast Hartley transform (FHT) using the same structures as for the fast Fourier transform. However, the HT is a real transform and for this reason, since one complex multiplication requires four real multiplications, the discrete HT (DHT) is computationally faster than the discrete FT (DFT). Consequently, any process requiring the DFT (such as amplitude and phase spectra) can be performed faster by using the DHT. The general properties of the DHT are reviewed first, and then an attempt is made to use the FHT in some seismic data processing techniques such as one‐dimensional filtering, forward seismic modeling, and migration. The experiments show that the Hartley transform is two times faster than the Fourier transform.

The improvement of acquisition and processing techniques has made it possible to study seismic wavetrains in boreholes.With careful acquisition procedures and quantitative data processing, one can extract useful information on the propagation of seismic events through the earth, on generation of multiples and on the different reflections coming from horizons that may not all be accessible by surface seismic.An extensive borehole seismic survey was conducted in a well in Conoco's contract area 'Block B' in the South China Sea. Shots at 96 levels were recorded, and the resulting Vertical Seismic Profile (VSP) was carefully processed and analyzed together with the Synthetic Seismogram (Geogram*) and the Synthetic Vertical Seismic Profile (Synthetic VSP).In addition to the general interpretation of the VSP data, i.e. time calibration of surface seismic, fault identification, VSP trace inversion and VSP Direct Signal Analysis, the practical inclusion of VSP data in the reprocessing of surface seismic data was studied. Conclusions that can be drawn are that deconvolution of surface seismic data using VSP data must be carefully approached and that VSP can be successfully used to examine phase relationships in seismic data.

The domestic processing methods, soaking, cooking (traditional, microwave, pressure), and baking and the industrial processing, autoclaving, baking, and extrusion are used to improve consumption of legumes. The growing awareness of both health and sustainability turns the focus on protein (bio)availability. This paper reports the effect of these processing methods on the legume protein digestibility. Overall, the protein digestibility increases after processing by the different methods. However, since both the type of legume and the applied methods differ it cannot be concluded which specific method is best for the individual legume type.
