Combining Stratigraphic and Sedimentological Information for Realistic Facies Simulations

Proteomic Analysis of Plasmodium Merosomes: The Link between Liver and Blood Stages in Malaria

“…The relative total MSP4/5 transcript abundance in samples was measured by qPCR using primers against the first exon of the gene, which were previously shown to detect both spliced and unspliced forms of the transcript 40 (primers P1 5′-GAAAGCCGTAAATTACTTATCACTG-3′ and P2 5′-CCCTCATTTTGATTCGAACTAGTTG-3′). Relative abundance was calculated by comparison to the HSP70 transcript (primers 5′-TGCAGCAGATAATCAAACTC-3′ and 5′-ACTTCAATTTGTGGAACACC-3′).…”

Geological Objects and Physical Parameter Fields in the Subsurface: A Review

“…Last, but not least, topology is very important for flow modeling, as it directly relates to the connectivity of permeability conduits and barriers. The links between connectivity and effective flow properties has been much studied at multiple scales in the frame of percolation theory (Berkowitz and Balberg 1993;King et al 2001). In the cases where geological considerations are not sufficient to fully characterize the topology of the medium, specific methods have been proposed to find possible object geometry honoring some prescribed connectivity (Borghi et al 2012;Collon-Drouaillet et al 2012;Henrion et al 2010).…”

“…This can be addressed in modeling by explicitly using locally variable directions of anisotropy (Boisvert et al 2009) or by considering a geometric transform between two spaces (Mallet 2014;Shtuka et al 1996). This last option is very promising as it provides a way to simplify geostatistical modeling, and as it allows to define some useful geological variables such as the apparent sedimentation rate (Kedzierski et al 2007;Mallet 2014;Massonnat 1999). Such use of indirect geological parameters is an essential and powerful way to introduce geological principles in earth models.…”
