hired is a large gold prospecting area which is located in south khorasan province, in the east of iran. gold mineralization is found in 4 target areas covering about 24 km2. the host rocks are mainly tertiary volcanics, some jurassic and cretaceous sediments. sub-volcanic rocks are of magnetite series (gabbros to diorite) and ilmenite series (granite-granodiorite-monzonite) which have intruded...

Abstract Recent advances in remote sensing techniques and computer algorithms allow accurate, abundant, high-resolution geometric information retrieval for rock mass characterization from 3D point clouds. The automatic application of the extracted local scale rockfall susceptibility assessment, where discontinuities characteristics play a major role rocky slope stability, requires step by logic...

Landslide susceptibility mapping (LSM) studies provide essential information that helps various authorities in managing landslide-susceptible areas. This study aimed at applying and comparing the performance of DIvisive ANAlysis (DIANA) RObust Clustering using linKs (ROCK) algorithms for LSM Baota District, China. These methods can be applied when data has no labels there is insufficient invent...

I will start this treatise with a history of two major themes in data integration. In my opinion, the topic began with the major retailers in the 1990s consolidating their sales data into a data warehouse. To do this they needed to extract data from in-store sales systems, transform it into a predefined common representation (think of this as a global schema), and then load it into a data wareh...
