  • Magnetic and Electromagnetic Prospecting
  • Geophysics
  • Scientific Measurements and Analyses
  • Geological Research and Exploration
DEF

An exploration method which uses either the decay of an excitation voltage ... or variations in the Earth's resistivity at two different but low frequencies ...

CONT

When an electric current passing into the earth through ground electrodes is suddenly interrupted, a potential can be measured between these or nearby electrodes for some time after the current stops. This potential decays exponentially with time after the interruption. ... Known as induced polarization, this effect is associated with electrochemical reactions in the earth.

CONT

Relatively massive skarn sulphide mineralization peripheral to disseminated porphyry-style copper-iron sulphides generates an enhanced induced potential and electromagnetic response.

CONT

Les minéralisations de sulfures relativement massives des skarns qui sont situées à la périphérie des minéralisations disséminées de sulfures de cuivre-fer de style porphyrique produisent des réponses électromagnétiques et de polarisation provoquée de plus forte intensité.

OBS

L'expression «polarisation provoquée» (induite) vient du fait que la méthode est surtout utilisée pour détecter la polarisation électrique de surface des minéraux métalliques, laquelle est provoquée par les courants électriques qu'on envoie dans le sous-sol.

The puppeteer may be visible to or hidden from the audience. A puppeteer can operate a puppet indirectly by the use of strings, rods, wires, electronics or directly by his or her own hands placed inside the puppet or holding it externally or any other part of the body, such as the legs. Some puppet styles require two or more puppeteers to work together to create a single puppet character.

Un marionnettiste est d'abord un artiste qui, caché dans l'ombre d'un rideau, fait danser, mouvoir ses personnages, fantaisistes et drôles à la fois. Il a l'art de les manier avec dextérité, en synchronisant leur mouvement avec la voix. S'en remettant à un scénario clair et limpide […] le marionnettiste esquisse un récit à rebondissement qui enchante et fait frissonner à la fois le jeune public.
