Seismic Attribute Analyses and Attenuation Applications for Detecting Gas Hydrate Presence
Identifying gas hydrates in the oceanic subsurface using seismic reflection data supported by the presence of a bottom simulating reflector (BSR) is not an easy task, given the wide range of geophysical methods that have been applied to do so. Though the

Wetland Quality as a Determinant of Economic Value of Ecosystem Services: an Exploration [PDF]
Wetland quality is a critical factor in determining values of wetland goods and services. However, in many studies on wetland valuation, wetland quality has been ignored. While those studies might give useful information to the local people for decision-making, their lack of wetland quality information may lead to the difficulty in integrating wetland ...

Dissipation of mechanical energy in fused silica fibers [PDF]
For thermal noise considerations of LIGO suspensions, the sources of dissipation in the suspending fibers must be analyzed. To determine the dissipation induced by the surface of fused silica fibers, we measured the quality factor of fibers having ...

Resonant Characteristics of Rectangular Microcantilevers Vibrating Torsionally in Viscous Liquid Media [PDF]
The resonant characteristics of rectangular microcantilevers vibrating in the torsional mode in viscous liquid media are investigated. The hydrodynamic load (torque per unit length) on the vibrating beam due to the liquid was first determined using a ...

Seismic pulse propagation with constant Q and stable probability distributions
The one-dimensional propagation of seismic waves with constant Q is shown to be governed by an evolution equation of fractional order in time, which interpolates the heat equation and the wave equation.

Improved Transition Metal Dichalcogenides-Based Surface Plasmon Resonance Biosensors
Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensors based on transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDC) materials have shown improved performance in terms of sensitivity, detection accuracy (DA), and quality factor (QF) over conventional biosensors.

Microdosimetry Study of Proton Quality Factor Using Analytic Model Calculations
The quality factor (Q) is formally linked to the stochastic (e.g., carcinogenic) risk of diverse ionizing radiations at low doses and/or low dose rates.

Photonic Crystal Cavities in Silicon Dioxide [PDF]
One dimensional nano-beam photonic crystal cavities fabricated in silicon dioxide are considered in both simulation and experiment. Quality factors of over 10^4 are found via simulation, while quality factors of over 5*10^3 are found in experiment, for cavities with mode volumes of 2.0 cubic wavelengths (in oxide) and in the visible wavelength range ...
