We present the evidence of high-velocity regions within the Pacific Large Low Seismic Velocity Province (LLSVP), uncovered using the Virtual Receiver Approach (VRA), a novel seismic imaging method that allows us to determine local absolute velocity values of a non-reflecting body wave that are independent of any assumed Earth model. Our results reveal a complex dynamics of high- and low-velocit…
The accurate prediction of rock mass quality ahead of the tunnel face is crucial for optimizing tunnel construction strategies, enhancing safety, and reducing geological risks. This study developed three hybrid models using random forest (RF) optimized by moth-flame optimization (MFO), gray wolf optimizer (GWO), and Bayesian optimization (BO) algorithms to classify the surrounding rock in real …
The Kallintiri area (SW Byala Reka–Kechros Dome, Rhodope) hosts a polymetallic (critical, base, and precious metals) ore deposit, tectonically controlled by the late Eocene–Oligocene, top-to-SW Kallintiri Detachment System. The earliest structure associated with the Kallintiri Detachment is a ductile shear zone at the interface between the high-grade footwall gneisses of the Lower and Inter…
This study considers the features of the chemical composition, internal structure, and oscillatory zoning of sulfosalts and sulfates in the epithermal high–intermediate-sulfidation-type Au-Ag-Te Emmy deposit (Khabarovsk Territory, Russia). In Emmy deposit, sulfosalts primarily represent goldfieldite, probably corresponding to a high-sulfidation (HS) mineral association replaced bytennantiteâ€â€¦
The challenges faced by science, engineering, and society are increasingly complex, requiring broad, cross-disciplinary teams to contribute to collective knowledge, cooperation, and sensemaking efforts. However, existing approaches to collaboration and knowledge sharing are largely manual, inadequate to meet the needs of teams that are not closely connected through personal ties or which lack t…
The Esri ArcGIS Desktop Professional Certification Study Guide prepares candidate taking the lates (10.5). ArcGIS Desktop Professional Caertification exam. Chapters parallel exam sections and combine GIS concepts with practical applications. Following a three-part structure, prepare with topics in the ArcGIS documentation that candidates need to know for the exam, practice with included assignm…
