Abstract: A method for determining at least one formation property calculated from neutron measurements acquired with a downhole tool includes emitting neutrons from a source in the tool into the formation, detecting neutrons with at least one detector in the downhole tool, calculating a first slowing-down length (Li) based on the detected neutrons, and deriving a second slowing-down length (L2) based on the first slowing-down length (L1). Further steps include deriving a correlation function for relating slowing-down lengths from a first tool to slowing-down lengths associated with a different source, wherein the correlation function depends on formation properties such as bulk density; and applying the correlation function to the slowing-down length of the first tool to derive the slowing-down length of the second tool. A method for determining a thermal neutron formation porosity based on a slowing-down length from epithermal neutron measurements from an electronic neutron source includes converting the slowing-down length into a computed neutron slowing-down length from thermal neutron measurements from a chemical neutron source, wherein the converting uses a correlation function that depends on formation bulk density; deriving a thermal neutron countrate ratio based on the computed neutron slowing-down length, wherein the deriving uses a function that depends on the formation bulk density and formation sigma; and computing the thermal neutron formation porosity from the thermal neutron countrate ratio.

Abstract: A method of interacting with a user to define a behavior of a portion of an interactive presentation, where the interactive presentation corresponds to a simulation model, and where the interactive presentation and the user interact via an interactive graphical user interface. The method involves monitoring a manipulation of a cursor monitoring a graphical dragging and dropping of a first graphical symbol to a first area such that a user interface component appears in the first area, where the user interface component corresponds to a conditionally-executed instruction, and receiving a name for the user interface component. A name and a text description for a requirement for the user interface component are received and stored and a dropping of a second graphical symbol into the first graphical symbol in the pane of the interactive graphical user interface, is monitored. In response to the dropping of the second graphical symbol, a first branch is added to the first graphical symbol, where the first branch corresponds to a first code that is executed upon selection of the first branch during run time. Dropping of a third graphical symbol into the first graphical symbol in the pane of the interactive graphical user interface is monitored, and in response a second branch is added to the first graphical symbol, where the second branch corresponds to a second code that is executed upon selection of the second branch during run time. A data flow input control for the first graphical symbol is received. The data flow input is associated with the first graphical symbol such that when the interactive simulation of the simulation model runs, a combination of the data flow input control and a data flow input received during run-time controls the branching of the first graphical symbol to the first branch and to the second branch.
