It is the image method that has undergone much research in seismology. All extrapolation operators face the problem of choosing the reference velocity due to continuation in depth. The wavefield extrapolation operator with a single reference velocity is suitable for media with weak lateral variation. The multi-reference velocity extrapolation operator can cope with severe lateral velocity variations and improve image accuracy. However, the calculation cost is large. We present a self-adaptive approach to automatically determine the number of selected reference velocities according to the complexity of structure and the given velocity threshold value. The approach can be used to construct the SSF, FFD, WXFD, and GSP multi-reference velocity wavefield extrapolation image algorithms. The result of a salt-dome model data test demonstrates that the self-adoptive multi-reference wavefield extrapolation algorithm has the ability to deal with severe lateral velocity variations and can also be used for structure edge detection. The method is flexible and computationally cost-effective.展开更多

The complexity of the coordinate transformation was simplified by choosing the camera coordinate system as the unified reference coordinate system. A flexible planar calibration pattern was introduced to the calibration process, which can be arbitrarily placed and from which the known feature points can be extracted to construct other unknown feature points. With the known intrinsic parameters, the laser projector plane equation was fitted by the multi-noncollinear points, which were acquired through the principle of triangulation and the projective invariance of cross ratio. With this method, the strict alignment and multiple times of coordinate transformation can be avoided. Experimental results showed that the arithmetic mean of the root mean square(RMS) error of distance was 0.000 7 mm.展开更多

It can interpret the comprehension and production of texts. This paper first makes a thematic analysis of the English original text and the Chinese target text, and then makes a comparative study of them in terms of the textual properties. It is found that in reproduction of target text, theme equivalence can not only help to realize the coherence of the target text with the same effect on receptors but also can save translation efforts. It is unnecessary to change the theme-rheme arrangements of the original unless it is required due to the social and cultural differences between English and Chinese.展开更多

METHODS: Twenty-one IBS patients received body awareness therapy two hours weekly for 24 wk. At base- line as well as after 12 and 24 wk, they underwent ex- aminations including resource oriented body examination in combination with body awareness scale evaluation and f illed in gastrointestinal and psychological symptom questionnaires. Saliva cortisol was analysed. A group of 21 apparently healthy persons underwent the same ex- aminations once. RESULTS: Compared to the apparently healthy group, IBS patients scored higher at baseline for gastrointestinal and psychological symptoms. They showed more often alterations in normal body tension patterns, as well as deviating cortisol slopes in saliva. After 24 wk of body awareness therapy, their gastrointestinal and psychologi- cal symptoms were reduced overall. Somatic symptoms decreased in parallel with depressive symptoms. Whole body pain score decreased, coping ability as well as bio- chemical stress markers improved. CONCLUSION: IBS patients scored higher for gastroin- testinal and psychological symptoms, and presented with altered biochemical stress markers. Their body tension deviated compared to healthy controls. Furthermore,body awareness therapy gave relief of both somatic com- plaints, psychological symptoms and normalised body tension. These findings indicate that distorted tension constitutes an important part of the symptoms in IBS.展开更多

Based on Takagi-Sugeno type fuzzy systems, a direct adaptive fuzzy tracking controller is developed by using the backstepping approach. The main advantage of the developed method is that for an n-th order system, only one parameter is needed to be adjusted online. It is proven that, under the appropriate assumptions, the developed scheme can achieve that the output system converges to a small neighborhood of the reference signal and all the signals in the closed-loop system remain bounded. The efficacy of the proposed algorithm is investigated by an illustrative simulation example of one link robot.展开更多

In this method we introduce the idea of a stratified phase shift migration into the split-step Fourier (SSF) migration to make an accurate and efficient wave field image when sharp discontinuities appear in the velocity field. In principle, the ASDSSF migration is a multi-reference slowness (reciprocal of velocity) (MRS) migration. Compared to previous MRS migration methods, this method uses fewer reference slowness values without accuracy loss. The reference slowness is determined in this paper according to an error-control parameter of the perturbation term in the SSF operator and the variation of the complet velocity field. The velocity corresponded to reference slowness can define a spatial division. Each division can also be divided into several discontinuous spatial subdivisions to effectively reduce the number of reference slowness values needed. The choice of reference slowness, including the number of reference slowness values needed and how to construct the spatial divisions, is adaptive and reasonable at each extrapolation step (depth step). A simple and economical smoothing filter in the wave number-frequency domain is designed to avoid artifacts in the wave field extrapolation due to the presence of sharp discontinuities in the velocity field. For comparable conditions the present approach to migration is expected to be computationally more efficient and accurate than other MRS migration methods. The performance of the method is demonstrated on a simple 2D prestack model and the prestack SEG/EAEG salt dataset.展开更多

The velocity corresponded to reference slowness can define a spatial division. Each division can also be divided into several discontinuous spatial subdivisions to effectively reduce the number of reference slowness values needed. The choice of reference slowness, including the number of reference slowness values needed and how to construct the spatial divisions, is adaptive and reasonable at each extrapolation step (depth step). A simple and economical smoothing filter in the wave number-frequency domain is designed to avoid artifacts in the wave field extrapolation due to the presence of sharp discontinuities in the velocity field. For comparable conditions the present approach to migration is expected to be computationally more efficient and accurate than other MRS migration methods. The performance of the method is demonstrated on a simple 2D prestack model and the prestack SEG/EAEG salt dataset.
