Study on the Influence of Sand Core Compactness on Surface Entropy considering Engineering Disturbance by Ding-li Su, Hang Chen, Xuemiao Xu, Mengxiong Tang, He-song Hu

“…There is a close relationship between grain texture and compactness. (2) The calculation results of sand image entropy of one-dimensional entropy and two-dimensional entropy showed that the entropy value of loose, slightly dense, and medium dense sand images is positively correlated with the compactness of sand. (3) The maximum variance of two-dimensional entropy of loose, slightly dense, and medium dense sand image in the same borehole is less than 0.09, and the data variance amplification effect of two-dimensional entropy of image is mainly between different boreholes. (4) The dense feature of core sample structure forms an ordered structure with a gray change boundary, which increases the roughness of the image and leads to the increase of entropy. …”

“…As LPS is a unique component of virtually all Gram-negative bacteria, our data suggest that when observing protein electrophoretic mobility shifts between wild-type and LPS mutant strains or between subcellular fractionation samples, the influence of LPS on protein electrophoretic migration should be considered first, rather than interpreting it as potential protein glycosylation that is dependent upon LPS biosynthetic pathway.…”
