In June 2009, a 2.2 square mile 3-D high resolution seismic reflection survey was shot in southeastern Illinois in the Phillipstown Consolidated oilfield. A well was drilled in the 3-D survey area to tie the seismic to the geological data with a synthetic seismogram from the sonic log. The objectives of the 3-D seismic survey were three-fold: 1.) To image and interpret faulting of the Herald-Phillipstown Fault using drillhole-based geological and seismic cross-sections and structural contour maps created from the drillhole data and seismic reflection data, 2.) To test the effectiveness of imaging the faults by selected seismic attributes, and 3.) To compare spectral decomposition amplitude maps with an isochron map and an isopach map of a selected geologic interval (VTG interval). Drillhole and seismic reflection data show that various formation offsets increase near the main Herald-Phillipstown fault, and that the fault and its large offset subsidiary faults penetrate the Precambrian crystalline basement. A broad, northeast-trending 10,000 feet wide graben is consistently observed in the drillhole data. Both shallow and deep formations in the geological cross-sections reveal small horst and graben features within the broad graben created possibly in response to fault reactivations. The HPF faults have been interpreted as originally Precambrian age high-angle, normal faults reactivated with various amounts and types of offset. Evidence for strike-slip movement is also clear on several faults. Changes in the seismic attribute values in the selected interval and along various time slices throughout the whole dataset correlate with the Herald-Phillipstown faults. Overall, seismic attributes could provide a means of mapping large offset faults in areas with limited or absent drillhole data. Results of the spectral decomposition suggest that if the interval velocity is known for a particular formation or interval, high-resolution 3-D seismic reflection surveys could utilize these amplitudes as an alternative seismic interpretation method for estimating formation thicknesses. A VTG isopach map was compared with an isochron map and a spectral decomposition amplitude map. The results reveal that the isochron map strongly correlates with the isopach map as well as the spectral decomposition map. It was also found that thicker areas in the isopach correlated with higher amplitude values in the spectral decomposition amplitude map. Offsets along the faults appear sharper in these amplitudes and isochron maps than in the isopach map, possibly as a result of increased spatial sampling.

3D time-lapse seismics, also known as 4D seismics, have great potential for monitoring the migration of CO2 at underground storage sites. This thesis focuses on time-lapse analysis of 3D seismic reflection data acquired at the Ketzin CO2 geological storage site in order to improve understanding of the reservoir and how CO2 migrates within it. Four 3D seismic surveys have been acquired to date at the site, one baseline survey in 2005 prior to injection, two repeat surveys in 2009 and 2012 during the injection period, and one post-injection survey in 2015. To accurately simulate time-lapse seismic signatures in the subsurface, detailed 3D seismic property models for the baseline and repeat surveys were constructed by integrating borehole data and the 3D seismic data. Pseudo-boreholes between and beyond well control were built. A zero-offset convolution seismic modeling approach was used to generate synthetic time-lapse seismograms. This allowed simulations to be performed quickly and limited the introduction of artifacts in the seismic responses. Conventional seismic data have two limitations, uncertainty in detecting the CO2 plume in the reservoir and limited temporal resolution. In order to overcome these limitations, complex spectral decomposition was applied to the 3D time-lapse seismic data. Monochromatic wavelet phase and reflectivity amplitude components were decomposed from the 3D time-lapse seismic data. Wavelet phase anomalies associated with the CO2 plume were observed in the time-lapse data and verified by a series of seismic modeling studies. Tuning frequencies were determined from the balanced amplitude spectra in an attempt to discriminate between pressure effects and CO2 saturation. Quantitative assessment of the reservoir thickness and CO2 mass were performed. Time-lapse analysis on the post-injection survey was carried out and the results showed a consistent tendency with the previous repeat surveys in the CO2 migration, but with a decrease in the size of the amplitude anomaly. No systematic anomalies above the caprock were detected. Analysis of the signal to noise ratio and seismic simulations using the detailed 3D property models were performed to explain the observations. Estimation of the CO2 mass and uncertainties in it were investigated using two different approaches based on different velocity-saturation models.

Cette thèse a deux résultats d'analyse harmonique sur des groupes réductifs. Soit G connexe et défini sur un corps de nombres F, A les adèles et K un sous-groupe compact maximal de G(A). On a étudié la décomposition de l'espace des fonctions de carré intégrable sur le l'espace quotient G(F)\G(A)/K, en tant que module sur une algèbre de Hecke global. Des résultats similaires que ceux obtenus ici ont été établies par divers auteurs pour de nombreux cas particuliers. La caractéristique principale de la présente approche réside dans le fait qu'il est uniforme. Cette approche a été inspirée par des résultats de G. Heckman et E. Opdam dans les problèmes spectraux pour les algèbre de Hecke graduée. Dans la démonstration, nous avons besoin d'un résultat par M. Reeder sur les espaces de poids des représentations (anti)sphériques de la série discrète de l’algèbre de Hecke affine, aussi, nous sommes confrontés au problème du calcul de certains constantes rationnelles dans le spectre global mesurer en termes de mesures de Plancherel locales.Pour le second résultat, nous montrons qu'un complexe de Coxeter et un immeuble euclidienne peuvent être dotés de fonctions de Morse PL qui permet d'écrire des contractions explicites des complexes cellulaires sous-jacents. Cette approche par la théorie de Morse pour étudier les immeubles de Bruhat-Tits a été inspiré par les idées de G. Savin et M. Bestvina dans le cas de l’immeuble de SL(n). Nous conjecturer que ces contractions ont de bonnes bornes sur leurs coefficients et peuvent donc être utilisés pour calculer les groupes Ext entre les représentations tempérée d'une manière analogue à celle qui a été fait par M. Solleveld et E. Opdam. / This thesis contains two results on harmonic analysis of reductive groups. First, let G be connected and defined over a number field F, A be the ring of adèles and K be a maximal compact subgroup of G(A). We studied the decomposition of the space of square-integrable functions on the quotient G(F)\G(A)/K, as a module for a global Hecke algebra. Similar results than the ones obtained here have been established by various authors for many special cases of reductive groups. The main feature of the present approach is the fact that it is uniform. Such approach was greatly inspired by results of G. Heckman and E. Opdam in treating spectral problems for graded affine Hecke algebras. In the proof, we need a result by M. Reeder on the weight spaces of the (anti)spherical discrete series representations of affine Hecke algebras, as well as we are faced with the problem of computing certain rational constants factors involved in the global spectral measure in terms of local Plancherel measures which are known only in the affine Hecke algebra context.
As for the second result, we show that a Coxeter complex and a Euclidean building can be endowed with piecewise linear Morse functions that allows one to write down explicit contractions of the underlying cell complexes. Such approach via PL Morse theory to study buildings was heavily inspired by ideas from G. Savin and M. Bestvina in the specific case of the building of SL(n). We conjecture that these contractions have nice bounds on their coefficients and thus can be used to compute Ext groups between tempered representations in an analogous way as was done by M. Solleveld and E. Opdam.

Les caractéristiques des fluctuations des concentrations de polluants dans un environnement intérieur normalement occupé dépendent fortement de plusieurs paramètres, en particulier des occupants et de leurs activités et comportement, qui altèrent de manière considérable la nature statistique de leur variabilité temporelle. Ces fluctuations sont rarement disponibles et décrites dans la littérature. La mise à disposition de mesures en continu de la concentration en formaldéhyde et en particules (de 0,35 à 20 µm de diamètre) dans l’air d’un environnement de bureau et d’une maison expérimentale sur plusieurs mois avec un pas de temps fin (entre 1 min et 1 heure) a permis d’engager une réflexion sur la nature de ces fluctuations et leur prévisibilité. L’objectif de la thèse se décline en trois axes de recherche : (i) la caractérisation des fluctuations des concentrations des polluants cible ; (ii) la mise en évidence des sources de variabilité de ces fluctuations et (iii) la prévision des concentrations de ces polluants. Le premier axe concerne la détermination des caractéristiques communes partagées par les différents polluants. Le deuxième axe porte, à l'aide des approches par séparation aveugle des sources, sur l'estimation des déterminants des sources de variabilité. Le troisième axe est consacré à la prévision des fluctuations de concentration des polluants. L'analyse des séries temporelles pour ce type de données (hautes fréquences) doit prendre en compte l’échelle de temps sur laquelle évoluent plusieurs microstructures. Plusieurs outils ont été employés : l'analyse spectrale (dépendance à long terme par la mesure fractale et la statistique R/S), la mesure de l’oméga-prédictibilité, ainsi que la décomposition des séries en composantes latentes par STL (seasonal trend decomposition using Loess), SSA (singular spectrum analysis) et SBD (spectral band decomposition).L'identification des sources de variabilité de particules a été abordée par les méthodes de séparation aveugle des sources basées sur une factorisation matricielle en profils et contributions, sous contrainte statistique d'indépendance (ACI) ou de non-négativité (NNMF ou PMF). Les factorisations ont été appliquées à la matrice constituée des séries temporelles de différentes gammes de taille des particules. Certains profils ou contributions des sources ont pu été interprétés grâce aux variables exogènes "traceurs" de certaines sources (comme le CO2 indicateur de la présence de la source occupants).Concernant la prévision des concentrations de polluants, le choix des modèles a été basé sur la structure de la série temporelle, mise en évidence lors de l’étape de caractérisation. On constate de meilleures performances de prévisions sur la série ayant subi un prétraitement statistique de décomposition STL, SSA ou SBD. Plusieurs types de modèles stochastiques (linéaires ou non linéaires) ont été appliqués ensuite à ces composantes et le résultat final de la prévision est donné par leur combinaison. La caractéristique de non-linéarité qui apparaît sous forme de changements abrupts de concentration causée en grande partie par la manipulation des ouvrants et qui se greffe sur l'évolution régulière du système dynamique mérite un traitement spécial. Un nouveau type de modèles de prévision a été développé pour répondre aux exigences de la nature des données hautes fréquences présentant ce type de non linéarité. Ce modèle associe une étape de décomposition des séries en bandes spectrales (SBD) couplée avec une étape de modélisation par des modèles autorégressifs à seuil (TAR) ou par la dynamique du chaos : FFT-(TAR/Chaos).Les résultats montrent que le prétraitement par décomposition en bandes spectrales ou STL améliore sensiblement la prévision des concentrations de formaldéhyde et des particules fines jusqu’à un horizon de 10 heures pour le formaldéhyde (pas de temps 1 minute) et de 1 à 4 jours pour les particules selon leur taille (pas de temps horaire) / The time fluctuation features of particulate concentrations in a real occupied indoor environment are strongly dependent of several parameters and in particular the occupation and occupants’ activities and behaviors. These parameters considerably alter the statistical variability of the time series dynamics. These fluctuations are rarely available and described in the literature. These types of fluctuations are rarely available and described in the literature. The availability of continuous measurements of concentrations of formaldehyde and particulate matter (from 0.35 to 20 µm of diameter) in an indoor environment (office and a test house) during several months with a fine time resolution (from 1 min to 1 hour) permitted to initiate a process of reflection on the nature of these fluctuations and their predictability. The aim of the thesis follows three main axis of research: (i) characterizing indoor environment pollutant concentrations variability; (ii) revealing the sources of variability of these fluctuations and (iii) forecasting the pollutant concentrations in a real indoor environment. The first axis concerns the determination of the common features shared by the different pollutants. The second axis focuses on the sources variability estimating using a Blind Source Separation (BSS) approach. Lastly, the third axis focuses on the forecasting of pollutant concentrations. The time series analysis for this type of data (high frequency) should take into account the time scale on which microstructures evolve. Several tools were employed, such as the spectral analysis (long-range dependency by fractal dimension measures and R/S statistic), the omega-predictability, as well as the time series decomposition into latent components by STL (Seasonal Trend Decomposition using Loess), SSA (Singular Spectrum Analysis) and SBD (Spectral Band Decomposition).The identification of the sources of particles concentrations is developed using BSS based methods which are based on a matrix factorization as profiles and contributions under a statistical independence constraint (ICA) or a non-negativity constraint (NNMF or PMF). The factorizations were applied to the matrix of the time series of different particle size bins. Some profiles or source contributions could be interpreted using exogenous variables as fingerprints of some sources (such as CO2 concentrations used as indicator of the “occupation”).Concerning the pollutant concentrations forecasting, the model selection was made in agreement with the time series structures, highlighted in the characterization stage. One can notice better performances forecasts when using the series having been preprocessed by decomposition: STL, SSA or decomposition in spectral bands (based Transform Fourier), SBD. Several types of stochastic models (linear or nonlinear) were then applied to these components and the final forecast result is given by their combination. A special type of nonlinearities involving a special treatment is the abrupt concentration changes in time series concentrations due mainly to windows manipulation and graft on the regular evolution of the dynamic system. A new type of forecast models has been developed in adequacy with the requirements of the nature of high-frequency data. This model combine spectral band decomposition step (SBD) coupled with a modeling stage based on autoregressive switching threshold model (TAR) or chaos dynamic: FFT- (TAR / Chaos).The results show that the pretreatment by spectral band decomposition or STL improves significantly formaldehyde and fine particles concentrations forecast on 10-hour horizon for formaldehyde (sampled every minute) and on a horizon of 1 to 4 days for the particles (sampled every hour), depending on their size bins

Resultados similares ainda valem no caso de atratores genericamente transitivos. / [en] In this work we extend the results in (12) and (22) about the minimality of one of the strong foliations (stable or unstable), for the case of robustly transitive attractors that is partially hyperbolic with one dimensional center bundle. In our context the partial hyperbolicity is defined only in the attractor. Some consequences are obtained as the verification that these attractors are (robustly) homoclinic classes, have (robustly) empty interior and admit a spectral decomposition. Similar results still holds in the case of generically transitive attractors.

Owing to the ever-changing developments of battery and electric powertrain, vehicle electrification is the trend in the future. Without the presence of a combustion engine, masking effect from it reduces and noises from other components become perceivable. Among all, the cooling fan is one of the major noise sources. The design of cooling fan modules is usually carried out in the early stage before building prototype vehicles. Therefore, it is essential to come up with a method for selecting optimal fan design without performing complete vehicle testing. This is a Master's degree project in collaboration with Volvo Cars, with a focus on cooling fan noise at the charging state of electric vehicles. The main objective of this thesis is to understand the effects of fan installation. Three different setups of acoustic measurement are carried out, namely free-space, wall-mounted, and in-vehicle measurement. Correlations of these measurements are investigated through comparisons of the measurement results and the installation effects are identified through spectrum difference between free-space and in-vehicle measurement. Moreover, the implementation of spectral decomposition method enables the separation of source strength and propagation effect. Analyses of sound pressure levels are studied by looking into tonal and broadband components. In addition, sound power levels are determined by following ISO standards. Finally, a subjective rating session is held to understand the human perception of cooling fan noise. / Med anledning av den pågående utvecklingen mot elektrifiering där bilarna går mot batterier och elmotorer för framdrivning så ändras ljudbilden. Utan förbränningsmotorer som tidigare maskerade mycket av ljudet från bilarna så framträder nya ljudkällor. En sådan är kylfläkten som allt mer blir en störningskälla. Vanligtvis sker designen av kylfläktsmodulen i en tidig fas innan det finns någon prototypbil att tillgå. Detta gör att det är viktigt att utveckla metoder för att i tidig fas kunna optimera designen av kylfläkten.  Detta är ett examensarbete i samarbete med Volvo Cars med fokus på det ljud som uppstår vid laddning av eldrivna bilar. Uppsatsens huvudsakliga mål är att förstå fläktinstallationens påverkan på ljud genom att korrelera olika typer av mätningar. Detta genomfördes m.h.a tre separata konfigurationer, fritt-upphängd mätning, väggmonterad och installerad i bil. Korrelation undersöktes genom att jämföra mätresultat och analys av spektrumet. Analysen av ljudtrycksnivåerna genom att titta på dels de tonala komponenterna men också på bredbandsnivåerna. Utöver detta fastställs även ljudeffekten genom att följa gängse ISO standard. Slutligen så gjordes en subjektiv utvärdering för att få en förståelse av upplevelsen av ljudet från en kylfläkt.
