An Application of Structural Filter and Gabor Deconvolution for AVO Processing Jiangbo Yu* and Dong Liu‚ University of Houston Summary This paper discusses two seismic data conditioning processes – Structural Filter (SF) and Gabor deconvolution. We found that these two techniques can improve AVO analysis in CMP and CRP gathers. Structural Filter greatly enhances the S/N of gathers by removing abnormal single high amplitude events‚ outliers and strong random noise. At the meantime‚ the relative

The main structural difference between starch glycogen cellulose comes from? In: Human and Animal Interaction Starch‚ glycogen and cellulose are all polymers of glucose. They differ in the type of glucose present and the bonds which link thr glucose monomers together. Starch and glycogen are made from alpha-glucose. This is an isomer of glucose in which the hydroxyl (-OH) group attached to carbon number 1 is below the plane of the ring. Starch is itself composed of two types of polymer:amylose

Structural Effects on Stability and Reactivity. Organic Chemstry Laboratory Structural Effects on Stability and Reactivity Introduction The concepts of stability and reactivity are fundamental to understanding chemistry. In this chapter we consider first the thermodynamic definition of chemical stability. We then consider chemical kinetics (Section 3.2) and how it can provide information about reactivity. We also explore how structure influences stability and reactivity. We want to learn how
