New post-processing method for interpretation of through casing resistivity (TCR) measurements Authors: Fu-rong Wang,Qing Chen,Hong-bin Li,David Pardo We propose a new iterative method for post processing through casing resistivity (TCR) measurements. This method can be seen as a correction or extension of Kaufman´s theory to more complex scenarios, in which the casing is no longer assumed to be uniform along the axis of the borehole. It can also… Elsevier BV	2011-05-01

On the Application of a Novel Hybrid Harmony Search Algorithm to the Radar Polyphase Code Design Problem Authors: Sancho Salcedo-Sanz,Javier Del Ser,Jose A. Portilla-Figueras,Ángel M. Pérez-Bellido,Sergio Gil-Lopez Polyphase codes are widely used in radar systems as a pulse compression approach due to the fact that they produce lower side-lobes in the compressed signal than other methods. Unfortunately, the efficient design of such codes comprises by itself a non-linear n-dimensional NP-hard optimization… IEEE	2011-05-01
