Wright State University acquired two vibroseis-sourced seismic reflection lines over the Dominion East Ohio Gabor Gas Storage field near Canton, Ohio. The data were gathered over a fully charged reservoir within the Clinton interval. Seismic attributes were applied to the seismic data for interpretation. The seismic response of nearby wells was modeled for comparison with the seismic lines. Within the seismic data a gas shadow was observed. The gas shadow coincides with an area of high initial production of wells targeting the Clinton interval for production. The gas shadow is also associated with broadening of the Packer Shell sidelobe. Modelling of the seismic response of well API# 3416925010000 shows a broadening effect of the Packer Shell sidelobe similar to that seen in the seismic data. This broadening is also associated with low porosity, implying that broadening of the Packer Shell sidelobe is indicative of a poor hydrocarbon reservoir.

The purpose of this study was to determine the short-term repeatability of average airflow in children, ages 4.0 – 5.11 years. Thirty participants with healthy voices and normal hearing sustained the vowel /a/ for 5 seconds at their comfortable frequency and intensity for 3 consecutive productions during 2 separate trials, using the Phonatory Aerodynamic System. The trials were separated by performance of additional acoustic tasks. Results indicated that average airflow measurements were repeatable in young children with no significant difference in average airflow values.
