Multiple Aliasing of Windowed Real-Valued Signal as a Cause of Accuracy Limitation of DFT Methods by Karel Hajek, Zdenek Kohl

“…These components cause additional aliasing, albeit with a decreasing but non-negligible influence, causing further errors in the calculated spectral components. This effect of multiple aliasing, which has not been considered so far, explains the limited maximum achievable accuracy of commonly used DFT methods. …”

Numerical Analysis of Bearing Behavior of the Prebored Precast Pile with an Enlarged Base by Zao Ling, Jiangbin Wu, Weidong Wang

“…The transfer law of load among the precast pile, cement soil, and soil around the pile and the action mechanism of the enlarged base were analyzed emphatically, and a sensitivity analysis of the main factors affecting the bearing performance was carried out. The calculation results show that the existence of the enlarged base can greatly improve the compressive bearing capacity, increasing the diameter and height of the enlarged base is beneficial to the bearing capacity, and the influence of the diameter expansion ratio is more effective. …”

Logging Response Mechanism and Content Evaluation of Laumontite-Bearing Glutenite Reservoir: A Case Study of Lower Urho Formation of Permian of the Junggar Basin by Jia Jun, Xue Kunlin, Ni Liping, Luo Yang, Liu Yuchao

“…A multimineral optimization method was used to calculate the laumontite content. The results indicate that in the study area, the cementation of zeolite minerals dominated by laumontite suppresses the pore development in the reservoir, which is a crucial factor in the formation of complex pore structures and low-porosity low-permeability reservoirs. …”
