Adding Prior Information in FWI through Relative Entropy

Full waveform inversion is an advantageous technique for obtaining high-resolution subsurface information. In the petroleum industry, mainly in reservoir characterisation, it is common to use information from wells as previous information to decrease the ambiguity of the obtained results. For this, we propose adding a relative entropy term to the formalism of the full waveform inversion. In this context, entropy will be just a nomenclature for regularisation and will have the role of helping the converge to the global minimum. The application of entropy in inverse problems usually involves formulating the problem, so that it is possible to use statistical concepts. To avoid this step, we propose a deterministic application to the full waveform inversion. We will discuss some aspects of relative entropy and show three different ways of using them to add prior information through entropy in the inverse problem. We use a dynamic weighting scheme to add prior information through entropy. The idea is that the prior information can help to find the path of the global minimum at the beginning of the inversion process. In all cases, the prior information can be incorporated very quickly into the full waveform inversion and lead the inversion to the desired solution. When we include the logarithmic weighting that constitutes entropy to the inverse problem, we will suppress the low-intensity ripples and sharpen the point events. Thus, the addition of entropy relative to full waveform inversion can provide a result with better resolution. In regions where salt is present in the BP 2004 model, we obtained a significant improvement by adding prior information through the relative entropy for synthetic data. We will show that the prior information added through entropy in full-waveform inversion formalism will prove to be a way to avoid local minimums.

基于非线性最小二乘法的多光谱拟合程序：应用于12CH4谱线参数分析

精确的甲烷分子实验光谱参数在大气科学和天文探测等领域有着广泛的应用,特别是谱线的展宽系数及其温度依赖系数对于甲烷分子浓度廓线的研究尤为重要。精密的实验测量是获得准确谱线参数的重要手段。采用实验测量获取谱线参数时,需要在已知实验条件（浓度,温度,总压力,吸收光程以及气体分子种类的混合比等）的情况下,多次扫描同一波段范围得到多组实验室吸收光谱,然后利用基于非线性最小二乘法的拟合程序处理这些光谱,反演获得所需要的光谱参数。然而,一般常用的单光谱拟合程序处理实验光谱既费时又容易引起拟合过程中的误差传递。针对此问题,采用最小二乘拟合技术和Levenberg-Marquardt迭代算法编写了一款适用于处理由可调谐半导体激光吸收光谱技术（TDLAS）所获得的吸收光谱的多光谱拟合程序。该程序可同时处理多张实验光谱,并基于全局拟合方法获得一套光谱参数。详细介绍了该程序的原理、使用方法及数据处理过程。利用多光谱拟合程序中的Voigt线型处理了2 958～2 959 cm-1波数内甲烷（12CH₄）分子6条跃迁谱线的实验光谱,获得了296.0,251.0,223.0,198.0和173.0 K共5组温度下12CH₄分子6条谱线的空气展宽系数。与之前文献报道的该波段内采用单光谱拟合程序得到的相应数据对比结果表明：获得的各温度下的空气展宽系数与参考文献中相应数据差值的百分比处在-4.97%~1.58%之间,两者数据整体符合较好,并且在30组对比数据中,有4组由单光谱拟合程序得到的空气展宽系数的误差值小于由多光谱拟合程序得到的相应数值,有2组数据显示由两种方法获得的误差值相等,其余24组由多光谱拟合程序获得的数据拟合误差小于由单光谱拟合程序获得的相应数值,表明多光谱拟合程序具有良好的可靠性,适用于气体分子吸收光谱的处理。     

Two-dimensional nutation exchange NQR spectroscopy: direct determination of rotational angles

A new method for the direct determination of rotational angles based on 2-dimensional nutation exchange NQR spectroscopy is proposed. The method involves the detection of exchange processes through NQR nutation spectra recorded after the mixing interval. The response is analysed of a system of spins I = 3/2 in zero applied field, experiencing electric quadrupole couplings, to the three-pulse sequence with incrementing pulse widths. The systems investigated here were hexachloroethane and tetrachloroethylene, which show threefold and twofold reorientational jumps about the carbon-carbon axis, respectively. It is shown that the 2D nutation exchange NQR spectrum exhibits characteristic ridges, which reveal the motional mechanism in a model-independent fashion. The angles through which the molecule rotates can be read directly from elliptical ridges in the 2D spectrum, which are also sensitive to the value of asymmetry parameter of the electric field gradient tensor.     

Experimental NMR and MS study of benzoylguanidines. Investigation of E/Z isomerism

Molecules containing the guanidinic nuclei possess several pharmacological applications, and knowing the preferred isomers of a potential drug is important to understand the way it operates pharmacologically. Benzoylguanidines were synthesized in satisfactory to good yields and characterized by NMR, Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry (ESI‐MS) and Fourrier Transform InfraRed Spectroscopy techniques (FTIR). E/Z isomerism of the guanidines was studied and confirmed by NMR analysis in solution (¹H‐¹³C Heteronuclear Single Quantum Coherence (HSQC) and Heteronuclear Multiple‐Bond Correlation (HMBC), ¹H‐¹⁵N HMBC, ¹H‐¹H Correlation Spectroscopy (COSY) and Nuclear Overhauser Effect Spectroscopy (NOESY) experiments) at low temperatures. Compounds with p‐Cl and p‐Br aniline moiety exist mainly as Z isomer with a small proportion of E isomer, whereas compounds with p‐NO2 moiety showed a decrease in proportion of isomer Z. The results are important for the application of these molecules as enzymatic inhibitors. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The PBGUNS code was used to simulate the 1# and 2# extraction systems of proton ion beam. The emittance measurement results with the two different extraction systems were compared and analyzed with the simulation, the conclusion that more high quality beam extracted from 2# system than 1# system was got. The formula derivation of ECR ion source extraction system spherical aberration and MATLAB drawing was done by the analyzing on the distribution of extraction field equipotentials, effective emittance increasing caused by spherical berration was proved by 1# and 2# extraction systems beam phase space simulation result, beam focusing would be improved if electrode hole size increasing appropriately and a general concept on good optics focusing of ion beam extraction system was proposed finally.     

Validity of the Electronic Transition Moment Functions for the B-X Transition of I2, From Radiative Lifetimes of the Vibrational Levels of the B State

Franck-Condon factors and R-centroids for the B-X transition of I₂ have been calculated from recent molecular parameters. From our radiative lifetimes and others reported in the literature, the validity of several proposed electronic transition moment functions has been checked. Acombination of the Bhale and Koffend functions seems to give the best fitting with the experimental radiative lifetimes.

Sample Preparation for the Determination of Metals in Food Samples Using Spectroanalytical Methods—A Review

Abstract

The present article gives an overview of recent publications and modern techniques of sample preparation for food analysis employing atomic and inorganic mass spectrometric techniques, such as flame atomic absorption spectrometry, chemical vapor generation atomic absorption and atomic fluorescence spectrometry, graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry, inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry, and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Among the most frequently applied sample preparation techniques for food analysis are dry ashing, usually with the addition of an ashing aid, and acid digestion, preferably with the assistance of microwave energy. Slurry preparation, particularly with the assistance of ultrasound, is increasingly used to reduce acid consumption and sample preparation time. Direct analysis of solid samples is gaining importance in the field of food analysis as it offers the highest sensitivity, avoids the use of acids and other aggressive reagents, makes possible the analysis of micro‐samples, and can be applied for fast screening analysis, e.g., of fresh meat.
