Reconstructing the Ocean Floor Shape in Turbidite Basins using Seismic Interpretations and Forward Modelling
No full textDeep-water depositional systems in different tectonic regimes display markedly different tectonostratigraphic evolution. The objective of this PhD was to develop a stratigraphic forward modelling program which deconvolves the controlling factors on basin fill architecture, in order to understand the dynamic interaction between structural deformation and sediment supply, using real, mapped structural geometries and stratigraphic package thicknesses. Understanding the interaction between structural deformation and sediment supply is important on active continental slopes. This interaction controls the vertical and lateral distribution of reservoir and seal lithologies, and their relation to growing structures. Subsurface prediction of trap and seal effectiveness is a vital component of CO2 sequestration or hydrocarbon exploration projects.Onlapse-2D is a geometric-based stratigraphic forward modelling program that simulates the tectonostratigraphic evolution of mini-basins using only commonly available reflection seismic, age-dated horizon interpretations and well data, if available (not required). The resulting models efficiently simulate the stratal architecture and palaeobathymetry of the mini-basin through time. Onlapse-2D produces geologically realistic cross-sections of a range of idealized mini-basins and simulates the evolution of a mini-basin using real data in the Gulf of Mexico.Through the modelling, I show that the development of offlap and onlap stratal terminations in structurally active mini-basins may be linked to sediment supply in some cases. However, in others the link between onlap and offlap may be weak or non-existent. Therefore, there is no requirement for the development of onlap or offlap to have a hard-wired link to extrinsic processes, such as relative sea-level change.Simulating the tectonostratigraphic evolution of the Late Miocene within three mini-basins in the Sureste Basin of Mexico allowed me to test and develop the capacity of Onlapse-2D. This case study integrated high resolution age-dated horizons and well data with 3D-seismic horizon interpretations, and the model results revealed three phases of structural activity, which controlled the stratigraphic development in the Late Miocene. These comprise two distinct pulses of contraction-related folding, and the long-term effects of salt-withdrawal and diapirism. This case study highlights the capacity of Onlapse-2D to aid in hydrocarbon exploration, by predicting reservoir presence away from well control and by identifying candidate stratigraphic traps
Postmodern epistemology and the Christian apologetics of CS Lewis
Get PDFEvangelicalism at the turn of this century finds itself facing� a challenge that undermines its very validity. This challenge is generally referred to as postmodernism. Within the contemporary evangelical paradigm, the context in� which this term is generally used refers to epistemology � the structure and limitations of human self-consciousness. The gist of the popular post-modernist argument is that human consciousness always develops inductively � from the inside, outward � utilising a particular linguistic and cultural frame of reference in order to construct conceptions of reality. Human self-consciousness, as understood from this context, is therefore always ultimately, something that can only be referred to as insulated. In the light of this, human self- consciousness can have no direct access to what may be commonly referred to as, an absolute truth
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
