  • Publication number: 20220350046
    Abstract: A surface wave prospecting method for jointly extracting Rayleigh wave frequency dispersion characteristics in a seismoelectric field. A surface wave prospecting method includes following steps of: acquiring jointly acquired data, where the jointly acquired data includes seismic wave data and electric field data; carrying out jointly imaging processing on jointly acquired data to obtain a superposed frequency dispersion spectrum; carrying out extraction processing on superposed frequency dispersion spectrum to obtain a frequency dispersion curve, outperforming inversion processing on frequency dispersion curve to obtain a stratum structure profile.

    Abstract: Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the etiological agent for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), has emerged as an ongoing global pandemic. Presently, there are no clinically approved vaccines nor drugs for COVID-19. Hence, there is an urgent need to accelerate the development of effective antivirals. One or more members of the 8-Hydroxyquinoline and Benzylamine structural classes inhibited SARS-CoV-2 infection induced cytopathic effect in vitro, inhibited the exopeptidase activity of angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), and disrupted the binding between ACE2 and the Spike protein of SARS-CoV-2. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present invention.
