, 2014 , Article)
Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) is a suitable polymer for biomedical applications due to its good physiochemical properties, but its insufficient biocompatibility is often an issue. Therefore, biocompatible substances such ...
Seismic detection of a sinkhole using spectral-based analysis
(
Society of Exploration Geophysicists
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Seismic data recorded during a survey in the vicinity of a sinkhole revealed distinct resonances at 70 Hz. Frequency domain data inversion based on exact modeling produced effective elastic parameters for the location over ...
