Computation of pseudosonic logs in shallow fresh/brackish water wells: a test case in Brunswick, Georgia
… of pseudosonic logs by means of empirical scale functions. The purpose of this study is to examine ways of applying these relationships in relatively shallow wells where the principal formation fluid is fresh or brackish water. Data from four wells situated in Brunswick, Georgia were used …

Shape Analysis Using Spectral Geometry
… we prove the shape spectrum is a continuous function to a scale function on the conformal factor of the manifold. The derivatives of the eigenvalues are analytically expressed with those of the scale function. The property applies to both continuous domain and discrete triangle meshes. On the …

Rasch Analysis of Relational Well-Being Within the National Survey of Adoptive Parents of 2007: A Comparison of Multidimensional, Consecutive, and Unidimensional Approaches to Measure Construction
… Items within the survey were evaluated for scale function as well as invariance.</p> <p>The comparison of three approaches (unidimensional, combined consecutive, and 2-dimensional MIRT) found that the combination of Consecutive Dimensions A and B yielded the best fitting model for these data …
