Crack Models For A Transversely Anisotropic Medium
No full textA commonly used model for a transversely anisotropic crack rock is that by Hudson
(1980, 1981). This model is based on a simplified analysis of a thin circular crack, with
displacement and stress conditions specified on the boundary. These papers have a
second order correction in addition to the first order term in porosity/crack density. In
this paper we compare the results of Hudson with those of Anderson et al. (1974) and
Cheng (1978) using the long wavelength static approximation and the ellipsoidal crack
model first proposed by Eshelby (1957). We showed that the Hudson model and those
based on the complete Eshelby theory agree for small aspect ratio cracks and small
crack densities, as expected, provided the weak inclusion version of Hudson's model
(1981) is used. For larger crack densities but small aspect ratios, Hudson's first order
term agrees with the Eshelby solution. The expansion in the second order term in crack
density is an asymptotic series and not a uniformly converging series. Thus there is no
general statement one can make about the accuracy of the second order expansion that
is valid for a variety of situations. A new expansion based on the Pade approximation is
proposed which is identical to Hudson's expansion up to second order in density. This
expansion avoids some of the problems associated with Hudson's second order expansion
such as increasing moduli with crack density at relatively small crack densities.Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Borehole Acoustics and Logging ConsortiumUnited States. Dept. of Energy (Grant DE-FG0286ER13636

The method used in this study is a qualitative method through direct observation and review by conducting library research to obtain research data. The results showed that the Al-Islam Muhammad Cheng Ho Mosque Sriwijaya Palembang or often known as the Cheng Ho mosque which is one of the mosques with Chinese Islamic nuances which was inaugurated in 2008. Al-Islam Muhammad Cheng Ho Mosque was founded by the PITI family in South Sumatra on a land grant. from PT. Amen Mulia to the PITI Organization through the intermediary of H. Syahrial Oesman for the blessing of the Palembang kyai KH.Mudarrin. SM and Kgs KH. M. Zen Syukri bin Kgs K. H Hasan Syukri who is also the founder of the Muhammad Cheng Ho Al-Islam Mosque and the Muhammad Cheng Ho Sriwijaya Foundation PITI Sumsel which at that time was chaired by Mr. H. Haryanto. Based on research, it is stated that Cheng Ho Mosque also has a uniqueness in the ornament section. Where the ornaments of the Cheng Ho mosque have a blend of Chinese Muslim culture with Malay culture, and the archipelago. The ornaments that characterize the Cheng Ho mosque are on the gates and minarets of the mosque. This can be seen from the shapes and colors used, which are like Chinese or Chinese nuances
Validity of the Novel Taiwan Lymphoscintigraphy Staging and Correlation of Cheng Lymphedema Grading for Unilateral Extremity Lymphedema
No full textOBJECTIVE: The aim was to validate the new Taiwan Lymphoscintigraphy Staging, correlate it with Cheng Lymphedema Grading (CLG) and evaluate the treatment outcomes of unilateral extremity lymphedema. BACKGROUND: No consensus has been reached for diagnosis and staging for patients with lymphedema among medical specialties. METHODS: We included 285 patients with unilateral extremity lymphedema using lymphoscintigraphy. Lymphoscintigraphy was correlated to clinical symptoms and signs, and classified into normal lymphatic drainage, partial obstruction, and total obstruction. Inter- and intraobserver reliability of Taiwan Lymphoscintigraphy Staging, correlation between Taiwan Lymphoscintigraphy Staging and clinical findings were conducted. Patients were categorized in "surgical" (n = 154) or "nonsurgical" (n = 131) groups for outcome evaluation. RESULTS: Lymphoscintigraphy found 11 patients (3.9%) with normal lymphatic drainage, 128 (44.9%) with partial obstruction, and 146 (51.2%) with total obstruction. Taiwan Lymphoscintigraphy Staging showed high interobserver agreement [intraclass correlation coefficient: 0.89 (95% confidence interval, 0.82-0.94)], and significantly correlated to computed tomography volumetric difference (r = 0.66, P < 0.001) and CLG [intraclass correlation coefficient: 0.79 (95% confidence interval 0.72-0.84)]. At a mean follow-up of 31.2 ± 2.9 months, significant improvement in the circumferential difference (from 23.9% ± 17.6% to 14.6% ± 11.1%; P = 0.03) with a mean circumferential reduction rate of 40.4% ± 4.5% was found in surgical group. At a mean follow-up of 26.6 ± 8.7 months, the nonsurgical group had increase of mean circumferential difference from 24.0% ± 17.2% to 25.3% ± 19.0% (P = 0.09), with a mean circumferential reduction rate was -1.9% ± 13.0%. CONCLUSIONS: The Taiwan Lymphoscintigraphy Staging is a reliable diagnostic tool, correlated with clinical findings and CLG, aiding in the selection of the appropriate treatment to achieve favorable long-term outcomes in unilateral extremity lymphedema

The Effects of Confining Pressure and Fluid Saturation on Ultrasonic Velocities in Rocks
No full textLaboratory measurements of ultrasonic p- and S-wave velocities were made as
a function of confining pressure for vacuum dry, benzene-, and water-saturated
samples of Westerly granite, Bedford limestone, and Weber, Navajo, Berea, and
Kayenta sandstones. The measurements indicate: 1) water-saturated bulk moduli are
higher than benzene-saturated values, 2) fluid-saturated shear moduli are always
greater than or equal to dry values, and 3) water-saturated shear moduli for the
sandstones are higher than benzene values at low pressure while lower than both
benzene and dry values at higher pressure, Indicating that an apparent water-softening
effect Is concentrated In the shear modulus. Modelling of the velocity
measurements with the Blot (1956a) and Gassmann (1951) equations for static
effective bulk modulus indicates that it underestimates the increase in bulk modulus
and velocities caused by fluid saturation. Inertial effects of the pore fluid as treated
by Blot (1956a, 1956b) are also shown to give minimal improvement to predicted
velocities, which are underestimated. Velocity measurements are modelled with the
Cheng-Kuster-Toksoz ellipsoidal pore and crack model using the inversion technique
developed by Cheng (1978). Fits of dry and benzene-saturated velocities are shown
along with pore aspect ratio distributions at zero pressure. Water-saturated velocity
data and measured porosity reductions with pressure are compared with predictions
of the model
