The method involves providing emulsions in an aqueous, non-aqueous, water immiscible phase. Mineral oil, grease, hydrocarbon or hydrocarbon derivative are provided in the non-aqueous phase. Alginit or artificial alginit is used as a fixed bed for separation of the emulsions. The alginit or artificia...

In various embodiments, the present disclosure describes methods for processing seismic data to concurrently produce a velocity model and a depth image. Various embodiments of the methods include: a) acquiring seismic data; b) generating a shallow velocity model from the seismic data; c) generating ...

A device for detecting seismic acceleration including a proof mass; a base for providing a sensor acceleration, relative to the proof mass, based on the seismic acceleration; an optical fibre portion operatively connected between the proof mass and the base for providing a fibre tension based on the...

The invention provides the use of an exine shell of a naturally occurring spore, or a fragment thereof, as an antioxidant, for instance in a formulation containing an active substance. Also provided is a method for reducing rancidity, or other oxidative degradation, of a substance or composition, by...

An apparatus for monitoring soil slope displacement rate comprises a sensor (I) beatable on an active waveguide (E) partially buried in the soil to detect acoustic emissions transmitted through the active waveguide (E) as a result of soil displacement. The monitoring apparatus also includes a proces...

This technology describes a method of extraction of recalcitrant chemical contaminants from solid media. This is done by using ozone and supercritical CO2 together to bring about a chemical conversion within the solid media. The use of ozone and CO2 together is expected to extract and convert the co...

With an estimated 100 million mines and countless millions of acres of land contaminated with unexploded ordnance (UXO) worldwide there is a need for a sensor system and methods that can detect and identify large and small metal objects buried in the soil. In addition, during armed conflict, there i...
