A local f-x Cadzow method for noise reduction of seismic data obtained in complex formations

A noise-reduction method with sliding called the local f-x Cadzow noise-reduction method, windows in the frequency-space （f-x） domain, is presented in this paper. This method is based on the assumption that the signal in each window is linearly predictable in the spatial direction while the random noise is not. For each Toeplitz matrix constructed by constant frequency slice, a singular value decomposition （SVD） is applied to separate signal from noise. To avoid edge artifacts caused by zero percent overlap between windows and to remove more noise, an appropriate overlap is adopted. Besides flat and dipping events, this method can enhance curved and conflicting events. However, it is not suitable for seismic data that contains big spikes or null traces. It is also compared with the SVD, f-x deconvolution, and Cadzow method without windows. The comparison results show that the local Cadzow method performs well in removing random noise and preserving signal. In addition, a real data example proves that it is a potential noise-reduction technique for seismic data obtained in areas of complex formations.

Numerical simulation and dimension reduction analysis of electromagnetic logging while drilling of horizontal wells in complex structures

Electromagnetic logging while drilling(LWD)is one of the key technologies of the geosteering and formation evaluation for high-angle and horizontal wells.In this paper,we solve the dipole source-generated magnetic/electric fields in 2D formations efficiently by the 2.5D finite diff erence method.Particularly,by leveraging the field’s rapid attenuation in spectral domain,we propose truncated Gauss–Hermite quadrature,which is several tens of times faster than traditional inverse fast Fourier transform.By applying the algorithm to the LWD modeling under complex formations,e.g.,folds,fault and sandstone pinch-outs,we analyze the feasibility of the dimension reduction from 2D to 1D.For the formations with smooth lateral changes,like folds,the simplified 1D model’s results agree well with the true responses,which indicate that the 1D simplification with sliding window is feasible.However,for the formation structures with drastic rock properties changes and sharp boundaries,for instance,faults and sandstone pinch-outs,the simplified 1D model will lead to large errors and,therefore,2.5D algorithms should be applied to ensure the accuracy.

SCIENTIFIC PRINCIPLES FOR MODIFICATION OF WATER-SOLUBLE POLYMERS. FORMATION OF MACROMOLECULAR COMPLEXES

The study of nanosecond dynamics of macromolecules with the lumines-cent methods make it possible to investigate the formation and functioning of polymericcomplexes, polymeric conjugates and macromolecular metal complexes, which are widelyused for solving many practical tasks. The nanosecond dynamics of macromolecules are ahighly sensitive indicator of interpolymer complexes (IPC) formation. It enables us to solvethe problems of studying IPC formation and stability and to investigate the interpolymerreactions of exchange and substitution. The investigation of changes in the rotational mo-bility of globular protein molecules as a whole makes it possible to determine the complexcomposition and its stability, and to control the course of polymer-protein conjugate forma-tion reaction. The nanosecond dynamics of polymers interacting with surfacants' ions (S)are the sensitive indicator of the S-polymer complex formation. A method for determin-ing the equilibrium constants of the S-polymer complex formation was developed on thebasis of the study of polymer chains mobility. It is established that nanosecond dynamicsinfluences the course of chemical reactions in polymer chains. Moreover, the marked effectof the nanosecond dynamics is also revealed in the study of photophysical processes (theformation of excimers and energy migration of electron excitation) in polymers with pho-toactive groups. It was found that the efficiency of both processes increases with increasingthe mobility of side chains, the carriers of photoactive groups.

Acid-base behavior of cryptand 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 21, 24-octaaza-bicyclo [8, 8, 8] hexacosan-3, 8, 12, 17, 20, 25-hexone and complex formation

The bicyclic cryptand 1,4,7, 10,13,16,21, 24-octaaza-bigcyclo [8, 8,8] hexacosan-3, 8, 12, 17, 20, 25-hex-one (COBH) bearing diaminoethane groups along the eight-atom bridges was synthesized. The structure consists of discrete neutral macrobicyclic units; the two cycles share the two tertiary amine nitrogen atoms, which exhibit an endo-cndo conformation. Three identical branches formed by 1, 2-diaminoethane link the two tertiary amine groups. The protonation reactions of cryptand (COBH) and its complex formation with copper (II) were investigated by potentiometry in water and in a DMSO/water (80:20 in mass ratio) mixture as solvents. The cryptand acts as a his-base through its two N-bridgehead and exhibits a strong cooperativity that favors the first protonation and makes the second one difficult (△pK= 5.0). An inward rotation of the amide groups to form hydrogen bonds accounts for this cooperativity. The interaction of COBH with copper (II) leads to several binuclear complex proton contents.

Expression and Purification of Goose HSP70 and Compound Formation with Virus Polypeptide

The experiment was conducted to study the specific expression of HSP70 caused by heat shock, HSP70 purification and the characteristics of coalescence with antigenic peptide in the formation of the complex. Sixty healthy 6-week-old male Wulong geese were selected and randomly divided into three groups. The control group was slaughtered without heat treatment. Treatment group 1 was shocked with an acute heat treatment at （42 ± 1）℃ for 5 h before they were immediately slaughtered. Treatment group 2 was kept for 12 h after the heat treatment under normal conditions in order to recover and was then slaughtered. Cardiac tissue was taken in order to make paraffin sections for the immunohistochemistry experiment and the liver tissue was used to purify HSP70. The geese heart HSP70 expression differences in the three groups were determined and at the same time the experiments of HSP70 purification and appraisal in the liver tissue were carried on. HSP70 purification and synthesis of HBV PreS1 multi-peptides unified the complex, which was determined by bi-specific antibody enzyme-linked immune sandwich assay. The results indicated that widespread HSP70 positive pellets in the cardiac muscle were found under hot shock conditions. HSP70 expression in the treatment group 1 was centered in the karyotheca and its periphery, but in treatment group 2, it was centered in the surrounding cell membrane. The HSP70 purification could be obtained through two sets of purification plans; both the synthesis peptide and the HSP70 purification form the complex under certain conditions. The double antibody sandwich ELISA technique was applied to detect if the complex had been formed. Positive results showed that the complex was formed. The specific expression of HSP70 under heat shock shifted with time, suggesting that HSP70 possibly had some function in cell protection. High-purity HSP70 protein can be obtained under low-pressure chromatography conditions, and in comparison with each other, it was better in the flow of the molecular sieve preliminary separation, ConA-agarose chromatography and the ADP-agarose chromatography. Under certain condition in vitro, the synthetic peptide could combine with HSP70 to form the compound, thereby providing a further experimental foundation for the immunity function of the complex.

Determination of Lisinopril in Bulk and Pharmaceutical Formulations by Cloud Point Extraction—A Green Method

A sensitive and eco-friendly method was developed for the spectrophotometric determination of Lisinopril (LSP) in bulk and pharmaceutical formulations by cloud point extraction technique. The method was based on the formation of a blue-colored coordination complex between Lisinopril (LSP) and Cobalt Thiocyanate (CTC) at a suitable pH. The Complex in aqueous medium was extracted into surfactant layer by cloud point extraction using a non-ionic surfactant Triton X-114 and then the surfactant layer was dissolved in a suitable volume of ethanol and the amount of Lisinopril was determined spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 625 nm. The conditions like concentration of the drug, concentration of CTC and of Triton X-114, PH, etc. were optimized by OFAT (One Factor At a Time) method. The linear range of calibration curve was 1 - 6 μg/ml and the linear regression equation with a correlation coefficient of 0.99996 was y = 0.0021 + 0.084x. Preconcentration and enrichment factors were found to be 100 and 3.12 respectively, achieving the detection limit of 0.0588 μg/ml. The proposed method was successfully applied for the determination of LSP in the drug formulations. The obtained values were in agreement with the values as quoted by the manufacturers.

Thermochemical Heat Storage Performance in the Gas/Liquid-Solid Reactions of SrCl2 with NH3

Thermochemical heat storage is a promising technology for improving energy efficiency through the utilization of low-grade waste heat. The formation of a SrCl2 ammine complex was selected as the reaction system for the purpose of this study. Discharge characteristics were evaluated in a packed bed reactor for both the gas-solid reaction and the liquid-solid reaction. The average power of the gas-solid reaction was influenced by the pressure of the supplied ammonia gas, with greater powers being recorded at higher ammonia pressure. For the liquid-solid reaction, the obtained average power was comparable to that obtained for the gas-solid reaction at 0.2 MPa. Moreover, the lower heat transfer resistance in the reactor was observed, which was likely caused by the presence of liquid ammonia in the system. Finally, the short-term durability of the liquid-solid reaction system was demonstrated over 10 stable charge/discharge cycles.

Comparative DFT Study of [Mg(CHZ)_3](ClO_4)_2 and [Mg(CHZ)_3](NO_3)_2(CHZ=Carbohydrazide)

The molecular geometry,electronic structure,thermochemistry and infrared spectra of [Mg（CHZ）3]（ClO4）2 and [Mg（CHZ）3]（NO3）2 were comparatively studied using the Heyd-Scuseria-Ernzerhof（HSE） screened hybrid density functional with 6-31G＊＊ basis set.The experimental results show that the complexes have six-coordinated octahedron feature,and the metal-ligand interactions are predominantly ionic in nature.The calculated heats of formation predict that [Mg（CHZ）3]（NO3）2 is more stable than [Mg（CHZ）3]（ClO4）2.Detailed NBO analyses indicate that the ligand-anion interaction plays an important role in the stability for these two energetic complexes.Moreover,the stretching vibration frequencies of N-H bonds shift to lower wave number compared to the free CHZ ligand,which are caused by the delocalizations from N-H bond orbital to lone-pair electron antibond orbital of magnesium.

Study on the mechanism of copper-ammonia complex decomposition in struvite formation process and enhanced ammonia and copper removal

Heavy metals and ammonia are difficult to remove from wastewater,as they easily combine into refractory complexes.The struvite formation method（SFM） was applied for the complex decomposition and simultaneous removal of heavy metal and ammonia.The results indicated that ammonia deprivation by SFM was the key factor leading to the decomposition of the copper-ammonia complex ion.Ammonia was separated from solution as crystalline struvite,and the copper mainly co-precipitated as copper hydroxide together with struvite.Hydrogen bonding and electrostatic attraction were considered to be the main surface interactions between struvite and copper hydroxide.Hydrogen bonding was concluded to be the key factor leading to the co-precipitation.In addition,incorporation of copper ions into the struvite crystal also occurred during the treatment process.

Chemical equilibrium constants of rare earth nitrates and tri-n-butyl phosphate complex formation

Mixed rare earth nitrates （REi（NO3）3） in the aqueous solution was mixed with tri-n-butyl phosphate （TBP, （n-C4H9O）3PO） dissolved in kerosene for the formation of their corresponding complexes （REi（NO3）3·ni（n-C4H9O）3PO） at 303 K. The effects of initial concentrations of both TBP and mixed rare earth nitrates on the equilibrium constants of their complex formations were investigated. The complexes were formed almost immediately after mixing. The simultaneous formations reached their chemical equilibria within a few minutes by shaking the mixture at 200 r/min. The chemical equilibrium constants of the complex formations were independent of the initial TBP concentrations. However, they were decreased by reducing the concentration of REi（NO3）3. All equilibrium constants of the simultaneous complex formations were less than 0.7, while the average molar ratio of TBP to REi（NO3）3 of the complexes varied between 1.0 and 1.6. The chemical equilibrium constant for the formation of La（NO3）3·（n-C4H9O）3PO was 0.09, while that of Dy（NO3）3·（n-C4H9O）3PO was 0.68. The ascending sequence of chemical equilibrium constants for the simultaneous formations was La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Eu, Y, Sm, Gd, and Dy.

Study on the cocolouration effect in the β-complex formation reactions of rare earths with p-chloro-chlorophosphonazo (CPApC)

Terbium- and yttrium-group rare earths form β-complexes with CPApC in acidic medium. The sensitivities for determination of these rare earths by this reaction depend on their ionic radii. Cerium- or terbium-group rare earth in the presence of yttrium-group element produces the cocolouration effect which remarkably sensitizes the reaction. Yb-CPApC-Eu complex has a molar composition of 1:4:2 and gives a molar absorptivity of 2. 02 ×10~5 L·mol^(-1)·cm^(-1) at 746 nm for Eu. It is found that the closer the lengths of ionic radii of the rare earths are, the greater will be the cocolouration effect.

Adsorption performance and physicochemical mechanism of MnO_(2)-polyethylenimine-tannic acid composites for the removal of Cu(Ⅱ) and Cr(Ⅵ) from aqueous solution

In this work,an adsorbent,which we call MnPT,was prepared by combining MnO_(2),polyethylenimine and tannic acid,and exhibited efficient performance for Cu(Ⅱ) and Cr(VI) removal from aqueous solution.The oxygen/nitrogen-containing functional groups on the surface of MnPT might increase the enrichment of metal ions by complexation.The maximum adsorption capacities of MnPT for Cu(Ⅱ) and Cr(Ⅵ) were 121.5 and 790.2 mg·g^(-1),respectively.The surface complexation formation model was used to elucidate the physicochemical interplay in the process of Cu(Ⅱ) and Cr(Ⅵ) co-adsorption on MnPT.Electrostatic force,solvation action,adsorbate-adsorbate lateral interaction,and complexation were involved in the spontaneous adsorption process.Physical electrostatic action was dominant in the initial stage,whereas chemical action was the driving force leading to adsorption equilibrium.It should be noted that after adsorption on the surface of MnPT,Cr(Ⅵ) reacted with some reducing functional groups(hydroxylamine-NH_(2))and was converted into Cr(Ⅲ).The adsorption capacity declined by 12% after recycling five times.Understanding the adsorption mechanism might provide a technical basis for the procedural design of heavy metal adsorbents.This MnPT nanocomposite has been proven to be a low-cost,efficient,and promising adsorbent for removing heavy metal ions from wastewater.
