EVALUATION OF VARIOUS DATA ACQUISITION SCENARIOS FOR THE RETRIEVAL OF SEISMIC BODY WAVES FROM AMBIENT NOISE SEISMIC INTERFEROMETRY TECHNIQUE VIA NUMERICAL MODELING

Evaluation of Various Data Acquisition Scenarios for the Retrieval of Seismic Body Waves from Ambient Noise Seismic Interferometry Technique via Numerical Modeling

Seismic interferometry is often proposed as a cost-efficient technique for reservoir monitoring including CO2 sequestration due to its low cost and environmental advantages over active source imaging.Although many studies have demonstrated the ability of seismic interferometry to retrieve surface waves, body wave imaging remains challenging due to

Medicine, market and communication: ethical considerations in regard to persuasive communication in direct-to-consumer genetic testing services

Abstract Background Commercial genetic testing offered over the internet, known as direct-to-consumer genetic testing (DTC GT), currently is under ethical attack.A common critique aims at the limited validation of the tests as well as the risk of psycho-social stress or adaption of incorrect behavior by users triggered by misleading health informat

Green versus green? Adverting potential conflicts between wind power generation and biodiversity conservation in Brazil

Here we advert for the degree of overlap between the expansion plans of the wind-energy sector and the conservation goals in the Brazilian Caatinga, the largest and most diverse Cargo Liners dry forest of the Americas.This ecosystem harbors more than 70% of both installed capacity and planned expansion of wind-powered energy in Brazil.However, a gr
