The document discusses similarities and differences between gravity and magnetic geophysical survey methods. Some key similarities are that both measure naturally occurring fields of the Earth (gravity and magnetic), both use identical physical and mathematical representations, and data acquisition/reduction/interpretation are similar. Key differences include magnetic susceptibility varying more than density, magnetic forces can be attractive or repulsive while gravity is always attractive, and the magnetic field is time-dependent unlike gravity.

Gravity and magnetic methods are an essential part of oil exploration. They do not replace seismic. Rather, they add to it. Despite being comparatively low-resolution, they have some very big advantages.
These geophysical methods passively measure natural variations in the earth’s gravity and magnetic fields over a map area and then try to relate these variations to geologic features in the subsurface. Lacking a controlled source, such surveys are usually environmentally unobjectionable.

Geophysical techniques work through applying one of several types of force to the ground, to measure the
resulting energy with use of geophysical equipment and infer the geology from this. Geophysics is generally
much quicker than the aforementioned methods, however, requires more data processing (oìce-based work)
to develop the geological picture. A great advantage of these methods is that certain instruments can be
attached to small aircraft for covering large areas during regional airborne surveys. This provides sparser
geological information, but can highlight potential metal anomalies on a county-country scale, which can be
followed up by more detailed, ground-based geophysical surveys. However, as the material is being tested
indirectly, there is no 100% guarantee of its conclusions; in addition to being susceptible to contamination by
many man-made metallic structures e.g. power-lines. Therefore, should geophysical surveys prove suìciently
interesting, drilling will be required afterwards to conêrm the accuracy of the results.

Cancer cell metabolism: special Reference to Lactate PathwayAADYARAJPANDEY1
Normal Cell Metabolism:
Cellular respiration describes the series of steps that cells use to break down sugar and other chemicals to get the energy we need to function.
Energy is stored in the bonds of glucose and when glucose is broken down, much of that energy is released.
Cell utilize energy in the form of ATP.
The first step of respiration is called glycolysis. In a series of steps, glycolysis breaks glucose into two smaller molecules - a chemical called pyruvate. A small amount of ATP is formed during this process.
Most healthy cells continue the breakdown in a second process, called the Kreb's cycle. The Kreb's cycle allows cells to “burn” the pyruvates made in glycolysis to get more ATP.
The last step in the breakdown of glucose is called oxidative phosphorylation (Ox-Phos).
It takes place in specialized cell structures called mitochondria. This process produces a large amount of ATP. Importantly, cells need oxygen to complete oxidative phosphorylation.
If a cell completes only glycolysis, only 2 molecules of ATP are made per glucose. However, if the cell completes the entire respiration process (glycolysis - Kreb's - oxidative phosphorylation), about 36 molecules of ATP are created, giving it much more energy to use.
IN CANCER CELL:
Unlike healthy cells that "burn" the entire molecule of sugar to capture a large amount of energy as ATP, cancer cells are wasteful.
Cancer cells only partially break down sugar molecules. They overuse the first step of respiration, glycolysis. They frequently do not complete the second step, oxidative phosphorylation.
This results in only 2 molecules of ATP per each glucose molecule instead of the 36 or so ATPs healthy cells gain. As a result, cancer cells need to use a lot more sugar molecules to get enough energy to survive.

introduction to WARBERG PHENOMENA:
WARBURG EFFECT Usually, cancer cells are highly glycolytic (glucose addiction) and take up more glucose than do normal cells from outside.
Otto Heinrich Warburg (; 8 October 1883 – 1 August 1970) In 1931 was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology for his "discovery of the nature and mode of action of the respiratory enzyme.
WARNBURG EFFECT : cancer cells under aerobic (well-oxygenated) conditions to metabolize glucose to lactate (aerobic glycolysis) is known as the Warburg effect. Warburg made the observation that tumor slices consume glucose and secrete lactate at a higher rate than normal tissues.

Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.
THE IMPORTANCE OF MARTIAN ATMOSPHERE SAMPLE RETURN.Sérgio Sacani
The return of a sample of near-surface atmosphere from Mars would facilitate answers to several first-order science questions surrounding the formation and evolution of the planet. One of the important aspects of terrestrial planet formation in general is the role that primary atmospheres played in influencing the chemistry and structure of the planets and their antecedents. Studies of the martian atmosphere can be used to investigate the role of a primary atmosphere in its history. Atmosphere samples would also inform our understanding of the near-surface chemistry of the planet, and ultimately the prospects for life. High-precision isotopic analyses of constituent gases are needed to address these questions, requiring that the analyses are made on returned samples rather than in situ.

locating voids and karst features, buried
stream valleys, water table levels and the
determination of soil layer thickness.
13. Gravity data in engineering and environmental
applications should be collected in a grid or
along a profile with stations spacing 5 meters
or less. In addition, gravity station elevations
must be determined to within 0.2m
Using the highly precise locations and
elevations plus all other quantifiable
disturbing effects, the data are processed to
remove all these predictable effects.
15. Magnetic survey
Magnetic survey is one of a number of
methods used in archaeological geophysics
Magnetic surveys record variation in the
Earth's magnetic field. In archaeology ,
magnetic surveys are used to detect and map
archaeological artifacts and features.
Magnetic surveys are used in both terrestrial
and marine archaeology.
16. • Basic Concepts
• The Earth possesses a magnetic field caused
primarily by sources in the core. The form of
the field is roughly the same as would be

to exploration for petroleum, natural gas,
and mineral deposits.
A seismic survey is a technique similar to an
ultrasound that is used to develop images of
the rock layers below ground.
38. • Seismic surveys are used to locate and estimate the size of
offshore oil and gas reserves.
• To carry out such surveys, ships tow multiple air gun arrays
that emit thousands of high-decibel explosive impulses to
map the seafloor.
• The auditory assault from seismic surveys has been found to
damage or kill fish eggs and larvae and to impair the hearing
and health of fish and marine mammals.
39. Hydrocarbon exploration
It is used by the hydrocarbon industry to provide a high
resolution map of acoustic impedance contrasts at depths of
up to 10 km within the subsurface. This can be combined
with seismic attribute analysis and other exploration
geophysics tools and used to help geologists build a geological
model of the area of interest.
40. Land survey
Land seismic surveys tend to be large entities,
requiring hundreds of tons of equipment and
employing anywhere from a few hundred to a few
thousand people, deployed over vast areas for many
months.
41. Marine survey
Traditional marine seismic surveys are conducted
using specially-equipped vessels that tow one or more
cables containing a series of hydrophones at constant
intervals
42. Seismic surveying is also play vital part of
exploring for oil and gas. That makes it critical
to producing the energy we need to power
our homes and businesses.
43. Similarities Between Gravity and
Magnetics
1) Geophysical exploration techniques that
employ both gravity and magnetic are passive.
By this, we simply mean that when using these
two methods we measure a naturally occurring
field of the earth. Collectively, the gravity and
magnetic methods are often referred to as
potential methods and the gravitational and
magnetic fields that we measure are referred to
as potential fields.
44. 2) Identical physical and mathematical
representations can be used to
understand magnetic and gravitational
forces.
For example, the fundamental element used to define the
gravitational force is the point mass. An equivalent
representation is used to define the force derived from the
fundamental magnetic element. Instead of being called a
point mass, however, the fundamental magnetic element is
called a magnetic monopole.
45. 3) The acquisition ,reduction, and
interpretation of gravity and magnetic
observations are very similar.
4) Vary from place to place.
5) Both are Vector fields
6) Both fields are force fields.
7) Drift correction is applied in both
methods.
8) Both fields exert force with a speed
equal to the speed of light.
46. Differences Between Gravity and
Magnetics
1) The fundamental parameter that controls gravity
variations of interest to us as exploration geophysicists
is rock density.
The highest densities we typically observe are about 3.0 gm/cm3and
the lowest densities are about 1.0 gm/cm3.
The fundamental parameter controlling the
magnetic field variations of interest to us, is
magnetic susceptibility.
This variation is not only present amongst different rock types, but
wide variations in susceptibility also occur within a given rock type.
47. 2) Gravitational field is always
perpendicular to the surface of earth.
While Direction of Magnetic field
changes from place to place (it might be
same at different places but unlike g it is
not always perpendicular).
48. 3) Value of g is less near the equator than
at the poles (about 5 gals) for two reasons
(1-The distance to the earth's center is
greater 2-The rotation of the earth
introduces centripetal acceleration V2/r ).
Magnetic field varies from the equator
to the poles in a range that goes from
20000 nT to 70000 nT.
49. 4) Gravity (mass) is monopolar it always attracts.
Magnetism is dipolar; like poles repel
while unlike poles attract.
5) All matter has mass therefore contributes
to g.
While main magnetic field is due to
convection currents in the core; it effects on
some minerals not all.
50. 6) Gravitational field is measured by
Mechanical Instrument.
While magnetic field is measured by purely
electronic Instruments.
7) Gravimeter is relative instrument;
magnetometer is absolute.
51. 8) tides are only external effect on value of g
and can be corrected; effect of magnetic
storms cannot be removed
9) A properly reduced gravitational field is always
generated by subsurface variations in rock density.
;
A properly reduced magnetic field, however, can
have as its origin at least two possible sources. It
can be produced via an induced magnetization, or
it can be produced via a remanent magnetization.
52. 10) Unlike the gravitational field, which does
not change significantly with
time; the magnetic field is highly time
dependent.

Geophysical Surveying Using Magnetic Methods
Introduction
Historical Overview
Unlike the gravitational observations described in the previous section, man has been
systematically observing the earth's magnetic field for almost 500 years. Sir William
Gilbert published the first scientific treatise on the earth's magnetic field entitled De
magnate. In this work, Gilbert showed that the reason compass needles point toward the
earth's north pole is because the earth itself appears to behave as a large magnet. Gilbert
also showed that the earth's magnetic field is roughly equivalent to that which would be
generated by a bar magnet located at the center of the earth and oriented along the
earth's rotational axis. During the mid-nineteenth century, Karl Frederick Gauss confirmed
Gilbert's observations and also showed that the magnetic field observed on the surface of
the earth could not be caused by magnetic sources external to the earth, but rather had
to be caused by sources within the earth.
54. 54
Similarities Between Gravity and Magnetic
Geophysical investigations employing observations of the earth's magnetic field have much
in common with those employing observations of the earth's gravitational field. Thus, you
will find that your previous exposure to, and the intuitive understanding you developed
from using, gravity will greatly assist you in understanding the use of magnetic. In
particular, some of the most striking similarities between the two methods include:
1- Geophysical exploration techniques that employ both gravity and magnetic are passive.
By this, we simply mean that when using these two methods we measure a naturally
occurring field of the earth: either the earth's gravitational or magnetic fields. Collectively,
the gravity and magnetic methods are often referred to as potential methods and the
gravitational and magnetic fields that we measure are referred to as potential fields.
2- Identical physical and mathematical representations can be used to understand
magnetic and gravitational forces. For example, the fundamental element used to define
the gravitational force is the point mass. An equivalent representation is used to define the
force derived from the fundamental magnetic element. Instead of being called a point
mass, however, the fundamental magnetic element is called a magnetic monopole.
Mathematical representations for the point mass and the magnetic monopole are identical.
3- The acquisition, reduction, and interpretation of gravity and magnetic
observations are very similar.
55. 55
Differences Between Gravity and Magnetics
Unfortunately, despite these similarities, there are several significant differences between
gravity and magnetic exploration. By-in-large, these differences make the qualitative and
quantitative assessment of magnetic anomalies more difficult and less intuitive than gravity
anomalies.
1- The fundamental parameter that controls gravity variations of interest to us as
exploration geophysicists is rock density. The densities of rocks and soils vary little from
place to place near the surface of the earth.
The highest densities we typically observe are about 3.0 gm/cm3 ,
and the lowest densities are about 1.0 gm/cm3. The fundamental parameter controlling the
magnetic field variations of interest to us, magnetic susceptibility, on the other hand, can
vary as much as four to five orders of magnitude. This variation is not only present amongst
different rock types, but wide variations in susceptibility also occur within a given rock type.
Thus, it will be extremely difficult with magnetic prospecting to determine rock types on the
basis of estimated
susceptibilities.
2- Unlike the gravitational force, which is always attractive, the magnetic force can be either
attractive or repulsive. Thus, mathematically, monopoles can assume either positive or
negative values.
3- Unlike the gravitational case, single magnetic point sources (monopoles) can never be
found alone in the magnetic case. Rather, monopoles always occur in pairs. A pair of
magnetic monopoles, referred to as a dipole, always consists of one positive monopole and
one negative monopole.
56. 56
4- A properly reduced gravitational field is always generated by subsurface variations in
rock density. A properly reduced magnetic field, however, can have as its origin at least
two possible sources. It can be produced via an induced magnetization, or it can be
produced via a remanent magnetization. For any given set of field observations, both
mechanisms probably contribute to the observed field. It is difficult, however, to
distinguish between these possible production mechanisms from the field observations
alone.
5- Unlike the gravitational field, which does not change significantly with
time, the magnetic field is highly time dependent.
