Consequently, identifying these mechanisms allows us to predict the hydrocarbon generation potential of source rocks. In the Ivorian offshore sedimentary basin, certain studies have contributed to understanding and characterizing the petroleum system. However, these previous works did not integrate biostratigraphic data to highlight sedimentary facies. This study, conducted on two wells in the Abidjan margin, is crucial as it helps us comprehend the geometry of fossil sediments in relation to sea level variations. It will also aid in reconstructing the basin-filling history and predicting the distribution of rocks capable of trapping oil, determining lowstand systems tracts (reservoir rocks), transgressive systems tracts, and highstand systems tracts (cap rocks). Lithological analysis revealed predominantly clayey sedimentation with sandy layers. Well log data facilitated the delineation of formation boundaries and highlighted reservoirs consisting of sands, sandstones, limestones, and occasionally intercalated shales. Integrating these analysis results with biostratigraphic interpretations based on foraminifera and palynomorphs revealed that the traversed formations were deposited in a transitional environment ranging from Coniacian to Maastrichtian ages. Applying sequential stratigraphy concept from well logging resolved dating issues encountered in microfossil-poor or microfossil-free zones. The results of the Coniacian-Maastrichtian age sequential subdivision were aligned with the chart.展开更多

The states of the closed loop system are locally expanding in two directions but absolutely bounded on the whole, which implies hyperchaos. Then, we use three suchlike hyperchaotic systems with different feedback gain matrices to design a pseudo-random sequence generator (PRSG). Through a threshold function, three sub-sequences generated from the output of piecewise linear functions are changed into 0-1 sequences. Then, followed by XOR operation, an unpredictable pseudo-random sequence (PRS) is ultimately obtained. The analysis and simulation results indicate that the PRS, generated with hyperchaotic systems, has desirable statistical features.展开更多

De novo perdition of protein tertiary structure is dependent on protein fold recognition. This study proposes a novel method for prediction of protein fold types which takes primary sequence as input. The proposed method, PFP-RFSM, employs a random forest classifier and a comprehensive feature representation, including both sequence and predicted structure descriptors. Particularly, we propose a method for generation of features based on sequence motifs and those features are firstly employed in protein fold prediction. PFP-RFSM and ten representative protein fold predictors are validated in a benchmark dataset consisting of 27 fold types. Experiments demonstrate that PFP-RFSM outperforms all existing protein fold predictors and improves the success rates by 2%-14%. The results suggest sequence motifs are effective in classification and analysis of protein sequences.展开更多

The principle of the structures is based on a new concept-multi-interleaving. It is the generalization of normal sequence decimation(sampling). The kernal of the structures is a lower speed linear feedback shift register together with several high speed time-division multiplexers arranged hierarchically. These new structures have much higher speed compared with that of other schemes proposed before.展开更多

Our results extend and improve the Baum and Katz complete convergence theorem and the classical weak law of large numbers, etc. from independent sequences of random variables to ρ-mixing sequences of random variables without necessarily adding any extra conditions.
文摘This paper proposes new hierarchical structures for generating pseudorandom sequences and arrays. The principle of the structures is based on a new concept-multi-interleaving. It is the generalization of normal sequence decimation(sampling). The kernal of the structures is a lower speed linear feedback shift register together with several high speed time-division multiplexers arranged hierarchically. These new structures have much higher speed compared with that of other schemes proposed before.
