The Iterative Processing Framework: A New Paradigm for Automatic Event Building
Authors: Tibi Rigobert , Encarnacao Andre , Ballard Sanford , Young Christopher J. , Brogan Ronald , Sundermier Amy
Published: September 2019

In a traditional data‐processing pipeline, waveforms are acquired, a detector makes the signal detections (i.e., arrival times, slownesses, and azimuths) and passes them to an associator. The associator then links the detections to the fitting‐event hypotheses to generate an event bulletin. Most of the time, this traditional pipeline requires substantial human‐analyst involvement to improve the quality of the resulting event bulletin. For the year 2017, for example, International Data Center (IDC) analysts rejected about 40% of the events in the automatic bulletin and manually built 30% of the legitimate events. We propose an iterative processing framework (IPF) that includes a new data‐processing module that incorporates automatic analyst behaviors (auto analyst [AA]) into the event‐building pipeline. In the proposed framework, through an iterative process, the AA takes over many of the tasks traditionally performed by human analysts. These tasks can be grouped into two major processes: (1) evaluating small events with a low number of location‐defining arrival phases to improve their formation; and (2) scanning for and exploiting unassociated arrivals to form potential events missed by previous association runs. To test the proposed framework, we processed a two‐week period (15–28 May 2010) of the signal‐detections dataset from the IDC. Comparison with an expert analyst‐reviewed bulletin for the same time period suggests that IPF performs better than the traditional pipelines (IDC and baseline pipelines). Most of the additional events built by the AA are low‐magnitude events that were missed by these traditional pipelines. The AA also adds additional signal detections to existing events, which saves analyst time, even if the event locations are not significantly affected.

Este estudo busca agregar conhecimento ao verificar como uma situação experimental de escolha do consumidor poderá influenciar o indivíduo a perceber e atribuir um maior valor a um produto, e como isso afeta sua tomada de decisão. Utilizou-se a metodologia adotada por Foxall, Modelo da Perspectiva Comportamental, que considera o comportamento como o resultado da interação de duas opostas e importantes tendências, reforços e punições. O estudo foi realizado com alunos universitários, através de uma pesquisa experimental, com a aplicação de um questionário online, sendo apresentado um Jogo de Comportamento de Escolha. Os resultados obtidos demonstraram que os atributos tiveram uma influência moderada sobre o comportamento do indivíduo, independentemente dos tipos empregados, sendo que o histórico de compra se mostrou mais influenciador. A metodologia utilizada foi capaz de contribuir na obtenção de dados plausíveis, gerando resultados que auxiliaram na compreensão da tomada de decisão, da percepção de valor pelos participantes e de como os atributos são capazes de alimentar a experiência de consumo do indivíduo. Porém, propõe-se, a utilização conjunta de outras ferramentas e modelos com enfoque na influência do histórico de consumo, na marca e em outras variáveis identificadas que sejam consideradas com significativos graus de influência sobre os indivíduos.Palavras-chave: Modelo da Perspectiva Comportamental.

Authors: Sharma Sumedha , Sharma Puja
Published: September 2019

Background: The adolescent girls constitute a heterogeneous group who are at risk of various reproductive and gynecological problems. A number of health schemes are already aimed at targeting the needs of this special population. This study was aimed at identifying the special needs of this population group in respect of medical and reproductive health so as to provide a feedback for ongoing health schemes.Methods: This study was a cross sectional analytical study conducted among adolescent girls attending various government and public schools in Lucknow city and adolescent girls presenting to Gynecology OPD of Queen Mary’s Hospital for various complaints in a span of one year from June 2007 to June 2008. After taking consent, the girls were subjected to a questionnaire consisting of epidemiological parameters and questions regarding menstruation, pregnancy, birth spacing, contraception, abortion, RTI/STD, sex education. This data was later analysed. Those presenting to the OPD of Queen Mary Hospital were subjected to further examination and tests depending on their complaints.Results: A total of 1127 adolescent girls in the age group of 10-19 consented and were included in the study. Awareness regarding the contraceptive methods available was present in only 57.8%. 14% (164) girls were aware of reproductive tract infections and sexually transmitted diseases. However, 61% (687) girls were aware about HIV/AIDS in particular. The mean age at menarche was 11.9±1.0 years. 21.5% had some menstrual problem. There were 34 cases of teenage pregnancy.Conclusions: Our study revealed substantial lacunae in the knowledge and attitude of young adolescent girls towards reproductive and sexual health. Despite various targeted health programs from the government, there is a still a need to further our efforts to improve access to health care and adopt methods to improve awareness regarding the health issues of adolescents.

Sodium Arsenic Alters the Gene Expression of some Steroidogenic Genes in TM3 Leydig Cell
Authors: Taşçi Tunahan , Eldem Vahap , Erkan Melike
Published: September 2019

Arsenic is a broad-spectrum environmental contaminant with mutagenic, teratogenic and carcinogenic effects. Due to its widespread distribution in nature, drinking water is the most common source of arsenic exposure for the general population. In this study, we aimed to determine the effect of sodium arsenite on the viability and expression profile of steroidogenic genes in TM3 Leydig cells, responsible for testicular steroidogenesis. The TM3 Leydig cells were treated with sodium arsenic (384,8 µM or 7,6 mM) for 24 hours with LH (Luteinizing hormone) stimulation. The MTT assay was used for measuring cell viability, the expression level of key genes of the steroidogenesis was evaluated using RT-qPCR.The MTT assay showed that cell viability was decreased dose-dependently. RT-qPCR demonstrated that the expression level of CYP11A1, CYP17A1 were decreased as compared to the untreated control while StAR gene expression was found to be surprisingly high in the cell exposed to high-dose arsenic (p<0.05). The expression profile of two dehydrogenase; 17β-HSD and 3β-HSD was significantly reduced in high dose arsenic treated-group (p<0.05); but however, no statistical significance was found in low-dose. The RT-qPCR also showed that the expression SF-1 (Steroidogenic factor-1), a key regulator of adrenal and reproductive development, was significantly decreased in both low-dose and high-dose (p<0.05). Arsenic toxicity in Leydig cell leads to cell viability loss and cause a perturbation in key steroidogenic genes, reflecting the possible role of arsenic in infertility and male reproductive system disorders.
Calcium Phosphate Mineralization on Calcium Carbonate Particle Incorporated Silk-Fibroin Composites
Authors: KAPUSUZ Derya , ERCAN Batur
Published: September 2019

In this study, three anhydrous forms of calcium carbonate, namely vaterite, aragonite and calcite, with distinct morphologies were incorporated inside silk-fibroin to fabricate composite scaffolds for tissue engineering applications. To assess calcium phosphate mineralization, composite scaffolds were treated with simulated body fluid up to one month. It was observed that composite scaffolds having different calcium carbonate polymorphs expressed different mineralization. Incorporating 25 wt. % of vaterite polymorph, which was the least stable form of calcium carbonate under aqueous conditions, induced the highest calcium phosphate mineralization in silk-fibroin while calcium carbonate-free silk-fibroin scaffolds expressed no calcium phosphate deposition. Results highlighted the importance of calcium carbonate particles in enhancing the bioactivity of silk-fibroin based composite scaffolds.
Outro logos, outro éthos e outra práxis para a Clínica
Authors: De Sá Ribeiro Aymoré Débora
Published: September 2019

A obra Clínica e Resistência, recém-lançada pela editora da Associação Filosófica Scientiae Studia, defende a necessidade de uma revitalização da clínica médica partindo de uma análise filosófica, histórica e epistemológica capaz de suscitar a resistência às práticas de normalização da saúde. Para tanto, incita a incorporação dos valores, o que estaria na contramão da chamada dicotomia entre fato e valor e, neste sentido, da própria ciência livre de valores. A questão da subordinação (ou não) da técnica à ciência é tratada ao longo da obra, concluindo-se em favor da aproximação da clínica à técnica mais do que à ciência, o que a recoloca diante dos problemas humanos concretamente vivenciados na história de vida, tais como o sofrimento, a doença, o envelhecimento e a morte.

 
Ant (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) Fauna of the Marine Port of Savannah, Garden City, Georgia (USA)
Authors: Gochnour Benjamin M. , Suiter Daniel R. , Booher Doug
Published: September 2019

Seaports act as a critical interface between land and sea for the international transportation of goods and have played an important role in the introduction of exotic ant species worldwide. The objective of our survey was to catalog the ant species residing on and immediately adjacent to the Port of Savannah in Garden City, Georgia, USA. We assessed the ant fauna with pitfall traps, baits, active searching on trees, extraction from leaf litter, and destruction of coarse woody debris (rotting logs) along nine transects in wooded areas. We also collected ants along roadside habitat on and adjacent to Port of Savannah property. In total, we collected 1,300 samples in 2015 and 2016. Forty-five ant species representing 20 genera were cataloged, including 13 exotic species from 10 genera; 65,424 ants were collected during the study. The most diverse genera were Strumigenys (six species); Crematogaster and Pheidole (five species each); and Camponotus and Solenopsis (four species each). The tawny crazy ant, Nylanderia fulva Mayr, which was the most common ant collected (76% of all ants collected along nine transects in wooded areas), is reported here for the first time in Chatham County, Georgia and is the northernmost location from which it has been reported. Owing to the ubiquitous nature of the Formicidae, one or more ant species were present in 97.7% of the study's 1,300 samples.

Authors: Khalili Nastaran , Karvandian Kasra , Eftekhar Ardebili Hassan , Eftekhar Negar , Nabavian Omid
Published: September 2019

Background: Despite the growing advancements of surgical and anesthetic techniques resulting in decreased morbidity and mortality, the period before surgery remains stressful for most patients. Considering the adverse effect of preoperative anxiety on anesthesia and surgery outcomes, we conducted this study to evaluate the level of anxiety in the anesthesia clinic among Iranian patients undergoing surgery and also to determine its associated factors.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study performed on 231 patients admitted to the anesthesia clinic of Imam Khomeini hospital, Tehran, Iran. Data were collected by using a three-part questionnaire consisting of demographic data, clinical findings and the translated version of Spielberger state-trait anxiety inventory (STAI). Chi-square test and binary logistic regression model were performed for univariate and multivariate analysis, respectively. A p-value< 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: The mean (SD) score for state and trait anxiety were 39.8 (13.4) and 36.5 (12.2), respectively. A significant association was seen between state anxiety and age, gender, occupation, level of education, marital status, patients’ awareness of type of anesthesia and patients’ awareness of anesthesia adverse events (p< 0.05). The most predictive factors for state anxiety were age, patients’ awareness of anesthesia adverse events and female gender, and for trait anxiety these factors were age, place of residence and female gender.
Conclusion: Screening for anxiety and identifying individuals vulnerable to preoperative anxiety (e.g. younger patients, females…) can help reduce undesirable surgery outcomes and their economic burden on the healthcare system.

The 2D Flow Around Tilted Plate
Authors: Chashechkin Yu.D. , Zagumennyi Ya.V.
Published: September 2019

The 2D problem on stratified flow around a strip is studied numerically and experimentally on the basis of the system of fundamental equations of incompressible viscous fluid mechanics taking into account diffusion effects and neglecting heat transfer. Strongly and weakly stratified fluid flows are considered, as well as potentially and actually homogeneous ones when the buoyancy effects, respectively, are assumed extremely weak or even neglected completely. Initial condition is the diffusion-induced flow on a motionless obstacle, which occurs as a result of interrupting the molecular flux of a stratifying agent on the plate surface. Influence of a set of problem parameters on the flow structure and dynamics is studied, including longitudinal and transverse dimensions of the plate, its shape, angle of attack, and velocity of movement. Analysis of the results shows that the unsteady problem does not have a stationary limit over the entire range of flow parameters due to its internal multiscale structure. The calculated field patterns, being specific for the basic physical variables and their gradients, are in a qualitative agreement with the laboratory data. In the extreme cases, the results converge to the well-known solutions, in particular, to the Blasius solution for the half-plane set in the direction of free stream.
Sarmaci i Popianie. Dziedzictwo średniowiecznego obrazu świata jako element kontekstu kulturowego piśmiennictwa staropolskiego
Authors: Krawiec Adam
Published: September 2019

Artykuł podejmuje stosunkowo słabo zbadane zagadnienie średniowiecznych wpływów na staropolskie wyobrażenia o świecie jako przestrzeni geograficznej. Ma charakter uwag wstępnych, wskazujących główne obszary obecności elementów należących do dziedzictwa myśli średniowiecznej w tekstach autorów staropolskich, które w dalszych pracach należałoby zanalizować na przykładach konkretnych utworów i/lub gatunków piśmiennictwa. Zwrócono uwagę na fakt, że szereg wyobrażeń antycznych obecnych w analizowanym okresie było wspólne dla geografii kreacyjnej średniowiecza i okresu nowożytnego. Do wskazanych jako najistotniejsze post-średniowiecznych elementów staropolskiej geografii kreacyjnej należały: ogólna wizja struktury świata fizycznego, koncepcja trójdzielnej ekumeny, posługiwanie się antyczną geonimią do opisu świata współczesnego (ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem nazwy Sarmacja), wyobrażenia na temat egzotycznych ludów i zwierząt, w tym mirabiliów, tzw. ludów monstrualnych oraz królestwa Prezbitera/Popa Jana.
Jeszcze w sprawie genezy terminu „fraszka”
Authors: Rusnak Radosław
Published: September 2019

Autor, rozważając sposoby rozumienia leksemu „fraszka” przez Jana Kochanowskiego, poddaje w wątpliwość tezę Sante Graciottiego, jakoby nie pojawił się ani razu w twórczości pisarza genologiczny sens tego leksemu. Za dostateczny dowód, iż jest inaczej, uznaje on opatrzenie przez czarnoleskiego poetę takim a nie innym tytułem swej obszernej epigramatycznej antologii w momencie porządkowania dorobku całego życia, a potwierdzenie, iż sens ten doczekał się rychłego zadomowienia, przynosi wydany krótko potem zbiór Melchiora Pudłowskiego Fraszek księga pierwsza (1586). W drugiej części artykułu próbuje się ustalić, komu należy przypisać pierwszeństwo, jeśli chodzi o użycie wyrazu „fraszka” w druku. Jak się okazuje, u samego Kochanowskiego leksem ten po raz pierwszy pojawia się w Satyrze (1564), wyprzedzają go natomiast nieznacznie zarówno Rozmowa albo dyjalog około egzekucyjej (1563) Stanisława Orzechowskiego, jak i anonimowa Historyja trojańska (1563).
Jak „opowiedzieć” Matkę Bożą? Postać Maryi w kazaniu Samuela Brzeżewskiego
Authors: Dybek Dariusz
Published: September 2019

Samuel Brzeżewski to zakonnik, który w XVII w. był docenianym kaznodzieją i hagiografem. Dwa z trzech zachowanych jego kazań dotyczą Maryi. Należy do nich Zaciąg dworzanów na kurią Najaśniejszej Królowej nieba i ziemie Maryjej, w którym autor użył konceptu: przedstawia kryteria doboru chrześcijan na dwór Matki Bożej. Opisując Maryję, stosuje wobec niej bardzo wiele określeń, które zaczerpnął z tradycji biblijno-patrystycznej. Matka Boża to m.in. królowa, cesarzowa, druga Ewa, brama, okno i… piec. Brzeżewski używając tych nazw, starał się wyjaśnić ich metaforyczny lub teologiczny sens. Podobnie postąpił w tym samym stuleciu Wespazjan Kochowski, pisząc Ogród panieński. Niewykluczone, że barokowy twórca inspirował się również kazaniem krakowskiego zakonnika.

Authors: Sujova Andrea , Michal Jakub
Published: September 2019

The present business environment offers a wide scale of production and it is increasingly difficult to find a product standard which can distinguish the producer from competitors. The pressure of lobby groups and legislation arrangements force the society to reflect a need for ecologic and sustainable thinking. The current trend and requirements of EU are the implementation of certified systems and production of wooden products from certified wood. This paper focused on the present situation in the supply of products from certified wood and analyses an exercitation of eco-philosophy in the business of wood processors, the rate of manufacturing of certified wooden products, as well as reasons and benefits of certified production. This paper presents selected results of primary research carried out in Czechia which was focused on the investigation of economic impacts of wood products manufacturing from certified raw wood. All presented results emphasise the need for voluntary market tools with ecologic character.

Development of Korean Nomograms for Forecasting and Alerting Debris Flows Based on Critical Accumulated Rainfall
Authors: Nam Dong-Ho , Lee Suk-Ho , Kim Byung-Sik
Published: September 2019

Ongoing climate change causes abnormal climate events worldwide such as increasing temperatures and changing rainfall patterns. With South Korea facing growing damage from the increased frequency of localized heavy rains, the country is not an exception. In particular, its steep slope lands, including mountainous areas, are vulnerable to damage from landslides and debris flows. In addition, localized short-term heavy rains that occur in urban areas with extremely high intensity tend to lead a sharp increase in damage from soil-related disasters and cause huge losses of life and property. Currently, South Korea predicts landslides and debris flows using the standards for forecasting landslides and heavy rains. However, as the forecasting is conducted separately for rainfall intensity and accumulated rainfall, this lacks a technique that reflects both amount and intensity of rainfall in an episode of localized heavy rainfall. This study, therefore, aims to develop such a technique by collecting past cases of debris flow occurrences and rainfall events that accompanied debris flows to calculate the rainfall triggering index (RTI) reflecting accumulated rainfall and rainfall intensity. In addition, the RTI is converted into the critical accumulated rainfall (Rc) to use precipitation information and provide real-time forecasting. The study classifies the standards for flow debris forecasting into three levels: ALERT (10%–50%), WARNING (50%–70%), and EMERGENCY (70% or higher), to provide a nomogram for 6 hr, 12 hr, and 24 hr. As a result of applying this classification into the actual cases of Seoul, Chuncheon, and Cheongju, it is found that about 2–4 hr of response time is secured from the point of the Emergency level to the occurrence of debris flows.

In a previous paper\cite{simplified}, a variation of the Collision-time Statistics method was applied to identify the relevant perturbers for line broadening under the action of a constant magnetic field. As discussed, that version was simplified and inadequate for low magnetic field and/or large perturber mass (ions). The purpose of the present work is to augment the previous work, so that such cases, corresponding to the Larmor radius exceeding the maximum impact parameter, can be handed efficiently. The results may also be used to construct analytic, i.e. impact/unified models under the usual assumptions in these models.

The study explores antibacterial, antiinflammatory and cytoprotective capacity of Pelargonium sidoides DC root extract (PSRE) and proanthocyanidin fraction from PSRE (PACN) under conditions characteristic for periodontal disease. Following previous finding that PACN exerts stronger suppression of Porphyromonas gingivalis compared to the effect on commensal Streptococcus salivarius, the current work continues antibacterial investigation on Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans and Escherichia coli. PSRE and PACN are also studied for their ability to prevent gingival fibroblast cell death in the presence of bacteria or bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS), to block LPS- or LPS+IFNγ-induced release of inflammatory mediators, gene expression and surface antigen presentation. Both PSRE and PACN were more efficient in suppressing Staphylococcus and Aggregatibacter compared to Escherichia, prevented A. actinomycetemcomitans- and LPS induced death of fibroblasts, decreased LPS-induced release of interleukin 8 and prostaglandin E2 from fibroblasts and IL-6 from leukocytes, blocked expression of IL-1β, iNOS, and surface presentation of CD80 and CD86 in LPS+IFNγ-treated macrophages, and IL-1β and COX-2 expression in LPS-treated leukocytes. None of the investigated substances affected either the level of secretion or expression of TNFα. In conclusion, PSRE, and especially PACN, possess strong antibacterial, antiinflammatory and gingival tissue protecting properties under periodontitis mimicking conditions and are suggestable candidates for treatment of the disease.

Sorghum in Australia is grown in water-limited environments of varying extent, generating substantial genotype × environment interaction (GEI). Much of the yield variation and GEI results from variations in flowering time and tillering through their effects on canopy development. The confounding effects of flowering and tillering complicate the interpretation of breeding trials. In this study, we evaluated the impacts of both flowering time (DTF) and tillering capacity (FTN) on yield of 1741 unique test hybrids derived from three common female testers in 21 yield testing trials (48 tester/trial combinations) across the major sorghum production regions in Australia in three seasons. Contributions of DTF and FTN to genetic variation in grain yield were significant in 14 and 12 tester/trial combinations, respectively. The proportion of genetic variance in grain yield explained by DTF and FTN ranged from 0.2% to 61.0% and from 1.4% to 56.9%, respectively, depending on trials and genetic background of female testers. The relationship of DTF or FTN with grain yield of hybrids was frequently positive, but varied across the genetic background of testers. Accounting for the effects of DTF and FTN using linear models did not substantially increase the between trial genetic correlations for grain yield. The results suggested that other factors affecting canopy development dynamics and grain yield might contribute GEI and/or the linear approach to account for DTF and FTN on grain yield did not capture the complex non-linear interactions.

Membaca merupakan salah satu cara untuk mempelajari suatu hal. Namun demikian beberapa faktor mempengaruhi motivasi dari siswa dalam membaca buku-buku materi, bahkan buku-buku cerita yang mudah. Gerakan Literasi Sekolah (GLS) merupakan salah satu program yang diselenggarakan oleh pemerintah untuk meningkatkan minat baca dari siswa, meskipun dibeberapa tempat program ini tidak berjalan sesuai dengan rencana pemerintah. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah meningkatkan pengetahuan guru untuk memotivasi siswa membaca buku dengan kegiatan yang menarik. Diharapkan dengan cara menarik ini, guru dapat mengajak siswa gemar membaca dan mereka dapat ikut menyukseskan program GLS. Langkah yang dilakukan yang pertama adalah guru diberikan pengetahuan mengenai teknik membaca cepat. Kemudian mereka diberikan pelatihan mengaplikasikan scrapbook sebagai kegiatan lanjutan setelah membaca. Setelah pelatihan tersebut, guru-guru tertarik dan termotivasi untuk mengajarkan kepada siswa didiknya sehingga mereka dapat memahami isi bacaan dengan cara yang menyenangkan.

Refrigeration and air conditioning are often incriminated for their contributions to the greenhouse effect. An alternative solution to curb this problem is the use of refrigerant with low global warming potential (GWP). To meet this goal, most hydrocarbons are potential candidates. Thus, the objective of this work is to compare the energy performance of propane (R290) and isobutane (R600a), which are low GWP fluids used as refrigerants in a residential split air conditioner under tropical climatic conditions (typical case of Benin). The investigation aimed to analyse the thermodynamic performance of these two fluids from their refrigeration cycles. The studies were conducted on a residential split air conditioner in Benin converted respectively to R290 and R600a refrigerants. The air conditioner was charged in increments of 50g of refrigerant until reaching the maximum load of 400g. Series of measurements (of temperature, hygrometry, air velocity, and mass of fluid, pressure, current intensity and voltage) were performed to calculate the cooling capacity and the coefficient of performance for each load of refrigerant. The so-named Engineering Equation Solver and MATLAB software were also used to simulate the performance of the studied fluids.  The results of the study showed that the best operation conditions are guaranteed for a charge of refrigerant comprises within 150g and 300g for both fluids. The equipment showed better performances with R600a.
Multi-Frequency Modeling of Dielectric Measurements in the Presence of Complex Rock Fabric and Composition

Published: September 2019

The low-frequency dielectric response of sedimentary rocks is dominated by rock fabric, volumetric concentrations of fluids and minerals, and interfacial properties. The rock physics models for interpretation of multi-frequency complex permittivity measurements generally rely on simplified geometries for which analytical solutions are obtainable. Consequently, interpretation of permittivity measurements can be challenging in reservoirs with complex pore structure, mineralogy, and mixed-wet conditions. The objectives of this paper include the development of a rigorous numerical simulation framework to enhance the interpretation of multi-frequency, complex dielectric permittivity measurements and also to quantify the influence of polarization of the electric double layer, lithology, fluid properties, and pore-network geometry on dielectric permittivity measurements.

We develop a simulator to calculate permittivity dispersion of sedimentary rocks by applying a combination of finite-difference and finite-volume methods to solve the non-linear Poisson and Nernst- Planck equations in the time domain. We perform a sensitivity analysis of dielectric permittivity to the dominant mineral (e.g., quartz, calcite), pore geometry, and fluid properties (e.g., salt concentration). The main contribution of this paper consists of introducing a simulator that provides the complete and accurate description of electric field, ionic distribution, and effective dielectric permittivity in porous media for enhanced petrophysical interpretation of electromagnetic measurements. Results suggest that incorporating the introduced simulation into a workflow for broadband interpretation of dielectric measurements can improve petrophysical evaluation in formations with complex lithology, rock fabric, and in mixed-wet rocks. This unique approach provides a more rigorous characterization of the dielectric permittivity of rocks than previously documented analytical and numerical models.
