Real-time open hole wireline sonic logging data processing becomes a nontrivial task to accurately, automatically and efficiently evaluate both the compressional and shear slowness of a borehole rock formation when human interaction is not possible and signal processing time is limited to elapsed time between different transmitter firings. To address real-time sonic data processing challenges, we present self-adaptive, data-driven methods to accurately measure formation compressional and shear wave slowness from both monopole and dipole waveforms in all types of formations. These new real-time processing techniques take advantage of the fact that advanced wireline sonic logging tools have wide frequency responses and little to no detectable tool body arrivals. These technology improvements provide an opportunity to implement a first-motion-detection technique that detects the onset of compressional waves in the monopole array waveforms. The knowledge of compressional arrival time and corresponding slowness are then used to project an appropriate slowness-time window in order to identify the monopole refracted shear wave and its slowness based on the range of possible Vp/Vs for earth rock formation. To process the borehole dipole flexural waves, we provide a new, data-driven frequency domain method that enables the evaluation of the full flexural-wave dispersion response and its corresponding low-frequency shear slowness asymptote. Field data processing results show that our methods provide high-quality compressional slowness (DTC) and shear slowness(DTS) measurements that are not affected by other borehole modes or dispersion complications in all formation types.

Background Scales for evaluating insomnia differ in number of items, response format, and result in different scores distributions and score ranges and may not facilitate meaningful comparisons. Objectives Transform ordinal item-scores of three scales of insomnia to continuous, equidistant, monotonic, normally distributed scores, avoiding limitations of summative scoring of Likert scales. Methods Equidistant item-scores by weighted sum using data-driven weights to different levels of different items, considering cell frequencies of Item-Levels matrix, followed by normalization and conversion to [1, 10]. Equivalent test-scores (as sum of transformed item- scores) for a pair of scales were found by Normal Probability curves. Empirical illustration given. Results Transformed test-scores are continuous, monotonic and followed Normal distribution with no outliers and tied scores. Such test-scores facilitate ranking, better classification and meaningful comparison of scales of different lengths and formats and finding equivalent score combinations of two scales. For a given value of transformed test-score of a scale, easy alternate method avoiding integration proposed to find equivalent scores of another scales. Equivalent scores of scales help to relate various cut-off scores of different scales and uniformity in interpretations. Integration of various scales of insomnia is achieved by finding one-to-one correspondence among the equivalent score of various scales with correlation over 0.99 Conclusion Resultant test-scores facilitated undertaking analysis in parametric set up. Considering the theoretical advantages including meaningfulness of operations, better comparison, use of such method of transforming scores of Likert items/test is recommended test and items, Future studies were suggested.
