Full textAbstract:
Micro instances (t1.micro) are the class of Amazon EC2 virtual machines (VMs) offering the lowest operational costs for applications with short bursts in their CPU requirements. as processing proceeds, EC2 throttles CPU capacity of micro instances in a complex, unpredictable, manner. This thesis aims at making micro instances more predictable and efficient to use. First, we present a characterization of EC2 micro instances that evaluates the complex interactions between cost, performance, idleness and CPU throttling. Next, we define adaptive algorithms to manage CPU consumption by learning the workload characteristics at runtime and by injecting idleness to diminish host-level throttling. Experimental results show that a gradient-hill strategy leads to favorable results. For CPU bound workloads, we observe that a significant portion of jobs (up to 65%) can have end-to-end times that are even four times shorter than those of the more expensive m1.small class. Our algorithms drastically reduce the long tails of job execution times on the micro instances, resulting to favorable comparisons against even small instances.

Sverige är för tillfället operativa med Helikopter 16 - Black Hawk i Afghanistan. Uppgiften som löses i Afghanistan är främre och taktisk sjuktransport (MEDEVAC). Detta arbete handlar om hur befintliga VMS-system i helikoptrar kan kompletteras i syfte att möta ett föreliggande prickskyttehot vid lösande av främre MEDEVAC i ett insatsområde som miljömässigt liknar Afghanistan. I arbetet analyseras möjliga tekniker utifrån aspekter från ett konstruerat scenario där helikopterbesättningarnas uppgift, insatsmiljö samt hotbild beskrivs. Resultatet visar på att MEDEVAC-helikoptrar kan utrustas med sensor-gimbaler där olika sensorer kan kombineras, vilket möjliggör spaning i 360°. Detta bidrar till den militära nyttan då helikopterpersonalens lösande av uppgift effektiviseras, chansen till överlevnad ökar samtidigt som personal och patienter kan känna sig tryggare.Currently, Sweden has operative Black Hawk helicopters in Afghanistan. The tasks they are solving in Afghanistan are forward and tactical Medical Evacuation (MEDEVAC). This work is about how existing Electronic Warfare Systems in helicopters can be supplemented in order to face a present sniper-threat during forward MEDEVAC in a conflict area which environmentally reminds of Afghanistan. In this work, a few possible techniques will be analyzed. This analyze will be based on aspects from a constructed scenario where the task to be solved, the conflict area, and the known threat is described. The result shows that MEDEVAC-helicopters can be equipped with operator-controlled sensor-gimbals where different electro-optical sensors can be combined. Gimbals allow reconnaissance in 360°. This contributes to the military utility since the main task can be solved by the helicopter personnel more effectively. Also, the probability of survival will probably increase and the personnel and wounded soldiers might feel more secure than before.

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimitedThe VAX/VMS UIS graphics library routines were used in the creation of a menu driven, interactive program which solves basic preliminary ship design problems. The program uses a menu with active mouse and keyboard to select options, enter data, and control program execution. At present, the program solves transverse and longitudinal static stability problems and predicts the effects of shifting weight in three planes. It also calculates the hydrodynamic derivatives for maneuvering performance and predicts the turning circle characteristics of the ship. Provisions for a hardcopy, detailed report are also included. Space has been allocated to include future program modules or user supplied programs.

Virtual machines are today at the core of a very large portion of the code that runs our everyday lives. Their relative performance and characteristics are of high significance for society indirectly and few other are as impactful as the JVM. In this thesis, we examine the possibility to speed up stack tracing on HotSpot and OpenJDK by implementing a return barrier. The barrier is implemented by overwriting the return program counter on the top frame with a function that re-installs itself on the frame below every time it’s executed. Because of this, the barrier acts as a “low water mark” and we then leverage that fact to enable Java Flight Recorder to cache the section of the stack that has already been traversed before. While the first implementation of such a cache did not prove successful in terms of performance improvement we look at costs and benefits of different steps in the implementation and highlight where future use the barrier might be attempted.Virtuella maskiner är idag i hjärtat av en stor del av den kod som styr våra dagliga liv. Deras prestanda och funktionalitet är indirekt mycket viktig för samhället och få har så stor påverkan som JVM:en. I den här uppsatsen så undersöker vi möjligheten att snabba upp stack tracing på Hotspot och OpenJDK genom att implementera en returbarriär. Den här barriären implementeras genom att skriva över returprogramräknaren med en som pekar till en funktion som installerar sig själv på ramen under varje gång den körs. På grund av detta så går den att använda som ett lågvattenmärke och vi utnyttjar detta för att få Java Flight Recorder att kunna återanvända den delen av stacken som redan har traverseras tidigare. Även om det första försöket inte var framgångsrikt när det kommer till att snabba upp prestandan så tar vi en detaljerad titt på kostnaderna och fördelarna med de olika stegen i implementationen och ger råd i hur man skulle kunna använda en sådan här barriär i framtiden.

Full textAbstract:
Brytning av ekonomiskt värdefulla resurser sker över hela världen och effektiviseras kontinuerligt. Ökad brytning av mineral innebär att lättåtkomliga malmkroppar förbrukas. När de lättåtkomliga kropparna av dessa mineraler använts upp krävs det prospekteringsmetoder för att leta djupare in i jordskorpan. En sådan metod är borrkärnekartering.Syftet var att detaljerat beskriva borrkärnans petrofysiska egenskaper samt lokalisera potentiell ekonomiskt område med hjälp av borrkärnekartering. Två borrkärnor karterades och undersöktes med hjälp av en handhållen XRF. Borrkärnekarterings potential som prospekteringsmetod utvärderades.Malmkropp innehållandes stor del Zn samt Pb, Cu och Fe identifierades i båda borrkärnorna. pXRF och kartering lokaliserade malmkropp i liknande omfång och gradering. Ursprungsbergarter och dess sammansättning identifierades.Prospekteringsmetoder som borrkärnekartering fungerar mycket bra i de fall övergripande information om borrkärnan behövs omgående. Borrkärnekartering är således en effektiv metod som kan användes vid borrplatsen för att kontinuerligt ge information om borrkärnan och således avgöra om borrning ska fortsätta eller avslutas. Prospekteringsmetoden fungerar bäst i kombination med andra metoder, geokemiska eller geofysiska.Mining of economically important resources is a process happening all over the world and have been increasing in effectiveness during the last century. Increased mining of the resources means that the easily accessed bodies of these minerals is exhausted. Prospecting methods to find new bodies in the ground is then needed. One of these methods is core logging.The goal of the project was to locate potential valuable mineralization. Two different cores were logged and evaluated with a hand held XRF during the project. The effectiveness of core logging as an exploration method was evaluated.Ore body containing large amounts of Zn as well as Pb, Cu and Fe were identified in both drill cores. pXRF and logging gave the same size and grades of the ore body. Protoliths and its composition were identified.Exploration methods like core logging is useful when summary information of the drill core is necessary and the information needs to be given fast. The method is therefore effective in the field at the drill stations to give continuously information about the drill cores being drilled. The method is most effective when combined with other methods like geochemical or geophysical methods.

Rogers, John Hill. "EVALUATING THE IMPACT OF OOCEA S DYNAMIC MESSAGE SIGNS (DMS) ON TRAVELERS EXPERIENCE USING THE PRE-DEPLOYMENT SURVEY." Master's thesis, University of Central Florida, 2007. http://digital.library.ucf.edu/cdm/ref/collection/ETD/id/3022.
Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this thesis was to evaluate the impact of dynamic message signs (DMS) on the Orlando-Orange County Expressway Authority (OOCEA) toll road network using the Pre-Deployment DMS Survey (henceforth referred to as "pre-deployment survey"). DMS are electronic traffic signs used on roadways to give travelers information about travel times, traffic congestion, accidents, disabled vehicles, AMBER alerts, and special events. The particular DMS referred to in this study are large rectangular signs installed over the travel lanes and these are not the portable trailer mount signs. The OOCEA is currently in the process of adding several fixed DMS on their toll road network. Between January 2007 and February 2008, approximately 30 DMS are planned on their network. It is important to note that there was one DMS sign on the OOCEA network before this study started. Since most of the travelers on OOCEA toll roads are from Orange, Osceola and Seminole counties, this study is limited to these counties. This thesis documents the results of pre-deployment analysis. The instrument used to analyze the travelers' perception of DMS was a survey that utilized computer aided telephone interviews. The pre-deployment survey was conducted during early November of 2006. Questions pertaining to the acknowledgement of DMS on the OOCEA toll roads, satisfaction with travel information provided on the network, formatting of the messages, satisfaction with different types of messages, diversion questions (Revealed and Stated preferences), and classification/socioeconomic questions (such as age, education, most used toll road, and county of residence) were asked to the respondents. The results of the pre-deployment analysis showed that 54.4% of the OOCEA travelers recalled seeing DMS on the network. The respondents commonly agreed that the DMS are helpful for providing information about hazardous conditions, and that the DMS are easy to read. The majority of the travelers preferred DMS formats as a steady message for normal traffic conditions, and use of commonly recognized abbreviations such as I-Drive for International Drive. The results from the binary logit model for "satisfaction with travel information provided on OOCEA toll road network" display the significant variables that explain the likelihood of the traveler being satisfied. The results from the coefficients show that infrequent travelers are more likely to be satisfied with traveler information on OOCEA toll roads. In addition, the provision of hazard warnings, special event information, and accuracy of information on DMS are associated with higher levels of satisfaction with traveler information. The binary logit model for "Revealed Preference (RP)" diversion behavior showed that Seminole County travelers were likely to stay on the toll road, and SR 408 travelers were likely to divert off the toll road. The travelers who acknowledged DMS on the OOCEA network were also likely to divert off the toll road, but those who learned of the congestion by DMS were likely to stay on the toll road. Learning of congestion by DMS could encourage travelers to stay, since when they are on the toll roads, diversion at times could be difficult with no access to exits or little knowledge of alternate routes. But it is also possible that travelers stayed because their perception was that the toll roads are faster, especially when messages on DMS show travel times that confirm the travelers' belief. Travelers who were not satisfied with travel information on the network were more likely to divert off the toll road. The implications for implementation of these results are discussed in this thesis. DMS should be formatted as a steady message for normal traffic conditions. Commonly recognized abbreviations, such as I-Drive for International Drive, must be used for roadway identification when possible. DMS messages should be pertained to information on roadway hazards when necessary because it was found that travelers find it important to be informed on events that are related to their personal safety. Accuracy of information provided on DMS was important for traveler information satisfaction because if the travelers observe inaccurate travel times on DMS, they may not trust the validity of future messages. DMS information that led to the travelers canceling their intended stops led to a higher likelihood of them being dissatisfied with traveler information. It is important to meet the travelers' preferences and concerns for DMS.M.S.

Full textAbstract:
Bakgrunden till examensarbetet är att vägverket region Skåne har planer på att utöka antalet detektorer på E6 i Skåne. Denna sträcka har en förhållandevis hög olycksfrekvens. Med anledning av detta finns ett intresse hos Vägverket att få reda på vilken nytta som trafikdetektorer längs E6 medför. Rapportens syfte är att, med hjälp av en metod som utvecklats av WSP Samhällsbyggnad i Göteborg, beräkna nyttan av trafikdetektorer och VMS för realtidsinformation på en utvald vägsträcka. Metoden utgår från de informationssystem, Internet, radio och VMS, som är viktigast vid trafikdetektering. Informationssystemen bidrar till nytta före och under resa, nytta av störningshantering, nytta av kunskapsuppbyggnad i vägtrafikledning och nytta av strategisk planering. Metoden är översiktlig och generell. Den förutsätter att många olika sorters indata för vägsträckan samlas in vilket innebär ett omfattande arbete. Ett exempel på sådan indata är hur trafikresenärer värderar sin tid och ett annat är vägens kapacitet. Vissa data är lätta att finna medan andra är betydligt svårare. Några data har också en större felmarginal än andra. WSP har även, i samband med metoden, utvecklat kalkylblad för beräkningar av nyttan. I kalkylbladen finns brister i beräkningarna som har korrigerats. Förutom korrigeringar av formler har också indata bearbetats. Insamlad data grupperas under rubrikerna enligt metodens upplägg: före resa, under resa, störningshantering, kunskapsuppbyggnad i vägtrafikledning och strategisk planering. Det finns även en grupp med allmän indata. Resultatet vid uträkningarna av den sammanlagda nyttan av trafikdetektorer visade sig vara hela 15,7 miljoner kronor per år på sträckan. Den nytta som uppstod för resenärerna före resa var något överraskande större än den nytta som uppkom för resenärerna under resa. Även nyttan som uppstår genom en förbättrad störningshantering är stor på sträckan. För att undersöka vilka variabler som har stor inverkan på den slutliga nyttan har en känslighetsanalys genomförts. De variabler som påverkar den slutliga nyttan mest bör man rimligtvis lägga ner mest tid på. Skillnaderna i variablernas känslighet var stora. I analysen av resultatet framkommer att den totala nyttan består av en stor del komfortnytta. Det finns även ett avsnitt i rapporten med rekommendationer för fortsatta studier inom området.The Swedish road administration has plans of increasing the numbers of traffic detectors on E6 in the Skåne region for which there is a unproportionally high frequency of accidents. Due to this the administration has an interest in finding out how large the benefits are in using traffic detectors. The main object of this essay is to calculate the benefit of traffic detection systems and VMS on E6 for real-timeinformationusing a method developed by WSP Gothenburg. The method consists of the most important information systems for traffic detection, Internet, radio and VMS. These systems contribute to a benefit that appear for the road user before the journey and during the journey but also the benefit that appear in the handling of interruptions in traffic, the benefit of increase in knowledge in the road traffic control centre and the benefit of strategic planning. The method implies that different kind of data for the road is collected. An example of such data is how the road user value their time spent in traffic. Another example is the capacity of the road. Some data are easier to find than others. The margin of error also varies. In connection with the method formulas for calculating the benefit where developed by WSP. In these formulas deficiencies have been corrected and data have been adapted. Collected data is organised as the method suggests: before the journey, during the journey, interruption handling, knowledge in the road traffic control centre and strategic planning. There is also a group of general data. After calculations the resulting total benefit of traffic detection reached 15,7 million SEK per year. Surprisingly the benefit before the journey was significantly larger than the benefit during the journey. To examine how the variables influence the total benefit an analysis of sensitivity has been executed. It is recommended to concentrate most of the work of collecting data on the variables that plays a major role in the final outcome of the benefit. The differences between the sensitivity of the variables turned out to be large. In the end of the essay the result of the benefit is analysed. The benefit of appreciating information has a large share in the final result. Finally there are recommendations for further studies within this field.

Full textAbstract:
Swedish education needs to change in order to reverse the negative trend in PISA and TIMSS. At the same time digital artifacts are increasingly present in the classroom and commercial applications more available. It is difficult to determine which technical tool that provide real results and it is not yet clear what role technology should have in the classroom. This study examines how visualisation and technology can be used to promote deeper understanding of algebra by addressing the misconception that frequently occurs among students. Observation and interviews were held with students from two schools, one in Norrköping and one in Östersund. Theory regarding algebraic misconceptions have been studied and compiled into two categories. In addition, three prototypes were developed with and later evaluated by a focus group. This work has resulted in suggestions on what technical and interactive activities could be used in algebraic education. The study shows that more research is needed to determine how technology best can be implemented and used effectively in teaching. The work also shows that such research and development needs to be implemented with a user-centered approach with the involvement of relevant target groups.Svensk undervisning är i behov att förändras för att vända den negativa trenden i PISA och TIMSS. Samtidigt är digitala artefakter alltmer närvarande i klassrummet och kommersiella applikationer alltmer tillgängliga. Det är svårt att avgöra vilka tekniska verktyg som ger faktiska resultat och det är ännu inte klarlagt vilken roll tekniken bör spela i en klassrumssituation. I detta arbete undersöks hur visualiseringar och teknik kan användas för att främja djupare förståelse inom algebra genom att adressera missuppfattningar som ofta förekommer hos elever. Observation och intervjuer genomfördes med elever på två skolor, en i Norrköping och en i Östersund. Teori om algebraiska missuppfattningar har studerats och sammanställts i två kategorier. Dessutom har tre prototyper utvecklats tillsammans med, och utvärderats av, en fokusgrupp. Arbetet har resulterat i förslag på vad tekniska och interaktiva aktiviteter skulle kunna innebära i algebraisk matematikundervisning. Det visar att mer forskning behövs för att avgöra hur teknik på bästa sätt kan implementeras och utnyttjas effektivt inom undervisning. Arbetet visar också att sådan forskning och utveckling behöver genomföras med en användarcentrerad ansats med delaktighet från berörda målgrupper.

Full textAbstract:
International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 25-28, 1999 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, NevadaUpgrading or replacing production systems is always a very resource-consuming task, in particular if the systems being replaced are quite specialized, such as those serving any Flight Test Ground Station. In the recent past a large number of Ground Station systems were based in Digital’s VAX/VMS architecture. The computer industry then expanded very fast and by 1990 realtime PCM data processing systems totally dependent on hardware and software designed for IBM-PC compatible micro-computers were becoming available. A complete system replacement in a typical Ground Station can take from one to several years to become a reality. It depends on how complex the original system is, how complex the resulting system needs to be, how much resources are available to support the operation, how soon the organization needs it, etc. This paper intends to review the main concerns encountered during the replacement of a typical VAX/VMS-based by an Intel-Windows NT-based Ground Station. It covers the transition from original requirements to totally new requirements, from mini-computers to micro-computers, from DMA to high-speed LAN data transfers, while conserving some key architectural features. This 8-month development effort will expand EMBRAER’s capability in acquiring, processing and archiving PCM data in the next few years at a lower cost, while preserving compatibility with old legacy flight test data.

Le suivi, le contrôle et la surveillance (MCS) des pêches marines sont des problèmes essentiels pour la gestion durable des ressources halieutiques. Dans cette thèse, nous étudions le suivi spatial des activités des navires de pêche en utilisant les données de trajectoire du système de surveillance des navires (VMS) dans le cadre du projet INDESO (2013-2017). Notre objectif général est de développer une chaîne de traitement des données VMS afin de: i) effectuer un suivi de l'effort de pêche des flottilles de palangriers indonésiens, ii) détecter les activités de pêche illégales et évaluer leur importance. L'approche proposée repose sur des modèles de mélange gaussien (GMM) et les modèles de Markov cachés (HMM), en vue d'identifier les comportements élémentaires des navires de pêche, tels que les voyages, la recherche et les activités de pêche, dans un cadre non supervisé. Nous considérons différentes paramétrisations de ces modèles avec une étude particulière des palangriers indonésiens, pour lesquels nous pouvons bénéficier de données d'observateurs embarqués afin de procéder à une évaluation quantitative des modèles proposés et testés.Nous exploitons ensuite ces modèles statistiques pour deux objectifs différents: a) la discrimination des différents flottilles de pêche à partir des trajectoires des navires de pêche et l'application à la détection et à l'évaluation des activités de pêche illégale, b) l'évaluation d'un effort de pêche spatialisé à partir des données VMS. Nous obtenons de très bons taux de reconnaissance (environ 97%) pour la première tâche et nos expériences soutiennent le potentiel d'une exploration opérationnelle de l'approche proposée. En raison du nombre limité de données d'observateurs embarqués, seules des analyses préliminaires on pu être effectuées pour l'estimation de l'effort de pêche à partir des données VMS. Au-delà des développements méthodologiques potentiels, cette thèse met l'accent sur l'importance de la qualité de données d'observation en mer représentatives pour développer davantage l'exploitation des données VMS tant pour la recherche que pour les questions opérationnellesMonitoring, control and surveillance (MCS) of marine fisheries are critical issues for the sustainable management of marine fisheries. In this thesis we investigate the space-based monitoring of fishing vessel activities using Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) trajectory data in the context of INDESO project (2013-2017). Our general objective is to develop a processing chain of VMS data in order to: i) perform a follow-up of the fishing effort of the Indonesian longline fleets, ii) detect illegal fishing activities and assess their importance. The proposed approach relies on classical latent class models, namely Gaussian Mixture Models (GMM) and Hidden Markov Models (HMM), with a view to identifying elementary fishing vessel behaviors, such as travelling, searching and fishing activities, in a unsupervised framework. Following state-of-the-art approaches, we consider different parameterizations of these models with a specific focus on Indonesian longliners, for which we can benefit from at-sea observers¿ data to proceed to a quantitative evaluation. We then exploit these statistical models for two different objectives: a) the discrimination of different fishing fleets from fishing vessel trajectories and the application to the detection and assessment of illegal fishing activities, b) the assessment of a spatialized fishing effort from VMS data. We report good recognition rate (about 97%) for the former task and our experiments support the potential for an operational exploration of the proposed approach. Due to limited at-sea observers¿ data, only preliminary analyses could be carried out for the proposed VMS-derived fishing effort. Beyond potential methodological developments, this thesis emphasizes the importance of high-quality and representative at-sea observer data for further developing the exploitation of VMS data both for research and operational issues

L'objectif principal de cette thèse concerne la mise en oeuvre d'une méthoded'éléments finis stabilisés pour la simulation des plasmas de fusion. Pour cela,nous avons d'abord dérivé les modèles magnétohydrodynamiques depuis lemodèle cinétique. Les modèles MHD sont généralement utilisés pour simuler lesinstabilités macroscopiques des plasmas. Nous nous sommes concentrés sur lemodèles de la MHD complète. Ensuite, l'approche numérique est décrite dans lecadre de la stabilisation Variationelle Multi-Échelles (VMS). Cette stabilisationvient ajouter un terme à la formulation faible pour mimer les effets des échellesnon-résolues sur celles résolues. Si les effets de ces sous-échelles ne sont paspris en compte lorsque l'on traite des écoulements dominés par convection,comme dans le cadre des plasmas de fusion, le schéma numérique conduit àdes résultats non-physiques. Une étude détaillée de l'instabilité de « Kinkinterne » a été faite ainsi qu'une étude préliminaire des plasmas avec point-Xayant pour but la validation du schéma numérique développé iciThe main objective of this thesis concerns the implementation of a robuststabilized finite element method for simulating fusion plasmas. For that, we firstderive the magnetohydrodynamic models from the kinetic model. MHD modelsare generally used for macroscopic simulations of plasma instabilities. Weconcentrate ou efforts on the full MHD model. Next, the numerical approach isdescribed in the context of the Variational Multi-Scale (VMS) stabilization. Thisstabilization comes to add a term to the weak formulation to mimics the effectsof the unresolved scales over the coarse scales. If the effects of these subscalesare not taken into account when dealing with fluxes dominated byconvection, as it is the cases for fusion plasmas, the numerical scheme canlead to unphysical results. A detailed study of the resistive internal kinkinstability has been done as well as an introductory study of the so called Xpointplasmas in order to validate the numerical scheme developed here

Para isso foram coletadas amostras de sedimentos de corrente e concentrados de batéia na região próxima à ocorrência, no entorno da cidade de Itutinga, e também em uma região próxima a cidade de Itumirim, já que existem semelhanças litológicas entre as duas áreas. Os sedimentos de corrente, as frações magnéticas e as frações de 0,3A (separador eletromagnético Frantz) foram enviados para análises químicas por absorção atômica e ICP-OES. Os concentrados de batéia foram descritos, separando-se cristais de estaurolita de cada amostra coletada, e analisando-os em MEV-EDS para determinação da química mineral. Os resultados dos sedimentos de corrente apontaram que os pontos da fazenda São Jerônimo (ME-03, Itutinga 51,7 ppm de Zn) e o ponto do Ribeirão Santa Cruz, (ME-06, Itumirim 36,1 ppm de Zn) foram os que apresentaram melhores resultados, indicando anomalias em zinco nas duas áreas estudadas . As estaurolitas, retiradas dos concentrados de batéia de cada ponto estudado, foram divididas em três conjuntos, de acordo com os teores de ZnO encontrados: 1 - entre 2,96% e 3,25% de ZnO em peso; 2 - entre 2,03% e 2,76% de ZnO em peso; 3 - < 1,67% de ZnO em peso, sendo comparável com outras estaurolitas encontradas em diversos depósitos de Zn do mundo, como Dry River, Austrália e Palmeirópolis Goiás. Assim, as estaurolitas apresentam bons resultados como minerais indicadores na área estudada. Em relação as magnetitas e ilmenitas estudadas, o número de amostras coletadas no presente estudo foram muito pequenas para se ter informações conclusivas sobre o papel destes minerais como traçadores. Por outro lado, os resultados das análises químicas nos concentrados de ilmenita (até 856 ppm de Zn) e nos concentrados de magnetita (até 216 ppm de Zn), indicam a disponibilidade deste metal nas áreas estudadas. Assim, é possível se detectar a presença do zinco por dois meios: através de sedimentos de corrente, através de halos de dispersão química do elemento zinco, e através dos minerais resistatos (estaurolita zincífera, magnetita e ilmenita), a partir de uma dispersão clástica do grão.
The Itutinga region was studied for BP mineration in 80s , where they found sulphide mineralization in lenses (Zn-Cu-Ag-Fe) associated with komatiitic peridotite rocks and tholeitic basalts (amphibolites) of greenstone belts, near of Fazenda São Jerônimo. With this information in the literature the propose is study the staurolite, magnetite and ilmenite for indicating the applicability of these three minerals as tracers of these types of mineralization. For this, samples of stream sediment and panning concentrates in the region near the city of Itutinga, and also in a region near the city of Itumirim. The stream current, magnetic fractions and ilmenite fractions were sent to chemistry analyses (Atomic absorption and ICP-OES), and the panning concentrates were analyzed for the separating of staurolite crystals, and sent to SEM-EDS. The stream sediments results showed that the point of Fazenda São Jerônimo (ME-03, Itutinga 51,7 ppm of Zn) and the point of Ribeirão Santa Cruz (ME-06, Itumirim 36,1 ppm of Zn) were presented the best result. The staurolite of panning concentrates were divided into three groups according to levels of ZnO matched: 1 - between 2.96% and 3.25% by weight of ZnO, 2 - from 2, 03% and 2.76% by weight of ZnO, 3 - <1.67% ZnO by weight, comparable with other staurolite found in many zinc deposits in the world, such as Dry River, Australia and Palmeirópolis Goiás. Thus, the staurolite show good results as indicator minerals in the area. With respect to magnetite and ilmenite concentrates, the number of samples collected in both areas was too small to have conclusive information. On the other hand, the results of the chemical ilmenite (up to 856 ppm Zn) and magnetite (up to 216 ppm Zn), indicate the availability of this metal in the areas studied. Thus, it is possible to detect the presence of zinc by two means: through stream sediments through chemical dispersion halos of zinc, minerals and through resistive minerals (zincian staurolite, magnetite and ilmenite), from a crystal clastic dispersion.

Det här självständiga arbetet inom militärteknik behandlar hur dagens tekniska tillämpningar avseende pansarvärnsrobotsystem kan möta en kvalificerad motståndare. Hotbilden med varnar- och motverkans-system medför att de tekniska och de stridstekniska kraven har förändrats för att både nå verkan samt överleva i stridsställning. Utifrån kända data och prestanda på både robotsystem samt varnar- och mot-verkanssystem har beräkningar gjorts för att studera tidsförhållanden i en duellsituation. Skillnaderna har tillsammans med tekniska specifikationer analyserats och diskuterats för att ge svar på studiens fråge-ställning: Vilka tekniska möjligheter och begränsningar har dagens pansarvärnsrobotsystem för att möta en kvalificerad motståndare med varnar- och motmedelsystem i svensk småbruten terräng? Resultatet visar på följande möjligheter och begränsningar:Den kvalificerade motståndaren har sensorer och motmedel med god förmåga att upptäcka och bekämpa pansarvärnsrobotsystem. Korta skjutavstånd (˂2 000 m), höga robotbanor, salvskjutning med robusta robotsystem vilka styrs autonomt, maskering och störning av motståndarens sensorer ger pansarvärnsro-botförbandet tekniska möjligheter att med framgång möta även en kvalificerad motståndare.

Full textAbstract:
A support vector machine (SVM) classifier was designed to replace a previous classifier which predicted oyster vessel behavior in the public oyster grounds of Louisiana. The SVM classifier predicts vessel behavior (docked, poling, fishing, or traveling) based on each vessel’s speed and either net speed or movement angle. The data from these vessels was recorded by a Vessel Monitoring System (VMS), and stored in a PostgreSQL database. The SVM classifier was written in Python, using the scikit-learn library, and was trained by using predictions from the previous classifier. Several validation and parameter optimization techniques were used to improve the SVM classifier’s accuracy. The previous classifier could classify about 93% of points from July 2013 to August 2014, but the SVM classifier can classify about 99.7% of those points. This new classifier can easily be expanded with additional features to further improve its predictive capabilities.

Full textAbstract:
Researchers at the University of Central Florida (UCF) have been working during the past few years on different strategies to improve freeway safety in real-time. An ongoing research at UCF has investigated crash patterns that occurred on a stretch of Interstate-4 located in Orlando, FL and created statistical models to predict in real-time the likelihood of a crash in terms of time and space. The models were then tested using PARAMICS micro-simulation and different strategies that would reduce the risk of crashes were suggested. One of the main recommended strategies was the use of Variable Speed Limits (VSL) which intervenes by reducing the speed upstream the segment of high risk and increasing the speed downstream. The purpose of this study is to examine the recommendations reached by the micro-simulation using the UCF driving simulator. Drivers' speed behavior in response to changes in speed limits and different information messages are observed. Different scenarios that represent the recommendations from the earlier micro-simulation study and three different messages displayed using Variable Message Signs (VMS) as an added measure to advice drivers about changes in the speed limit were created. In addition, abrupt and gradual changes in speed were tested against the scenarios that maintained the speed limit constant or did include a VSL or VMS in the scenarios' design (base case). Dynamic congestion was also added to the scenarios' design to observe drivers' reactions and speed reductions once drivers approached congestion. A total of 85 subjects were recruited. Gender and age were the controlling variables for the subjects' recruitment. Each of the subjects drove 3 out of a total of 24 scenarios. In addition, a survey was conducted and involved hypothetical questions, including knowledge about VMS and VSL, and questions about their driving behavior. The survey data were useful in identifying the subjects' compliance with the speed limit and VSL/VMS acceptance. Two statistical analytical techniques were performed on the data that were collected from the simulator: ANOVA and PROC MIXED. The ANOVA test was used to investigate if the differences in speed and reaction distances between subjects were statistically significant for each sign compared to the base case. The PROC MIXED analysis was used to investigate the differences of all scenarios (24x24) based on the spot speed data collected for each driver. It was found from the analyses that drivers follow better the message displayed on VMS that informs them that the speed is changing, whether it is or not, strictly enforced as opposed to providing the reason for change or no information. Moreover, an abrupt change in speed produced immediate results; however both abrupt and gradual changes in speed produced the same reduction in speed at the target zone. It was also noticed that most drivers usually drive 5 mph above the speed limit, even though in the survey analysis the majority of them stated that they drive in compliance with the speed limit or with the flow of traffic. This means that if a modest speed reduction of 5 mph is requested they will ignore it, but if a 10 mph reduction is recommended they will reduce the speed by at least 5 mph. Consequently, it was noticed that drivers arrived at the congestion zone with a slower speed than the base speed limit due to the combination of VMS and VSL signage. By having drivers approaching congestion with a slower speed, potential rear-end crashes could be avoided. Comparing the two genders indicated that females are more likely to follow the VMS's recommendations to reduce the speed. Also females in general drive above the speed limit between 2 mph and 3 mph, while males drive above the speed limit between 5 mph and 8 mph. From the analysis of the age factor, it was concluded that drivers from the 16-19 age group drive faster and drivers from the 45 and above age group drive slower, than the drivers from the other groups. In general, all drivers reduced and/or increased their speed accordingly when a VMS and/or VSL was present in the scenario advising for this change in the speed limit. The investigations conducted for this thesis proved that the recommendations suggested previously based on the crash risk model and micro-simulation (Abdel-Aty et al., 2006) aid drivers in reducing their speed before they approach a segment of high risk and by doing so reduce the likelihood of a crash. Finally, the real-time safety benefits of VMS and VSL should be continuously evaluated in future studies.M.S.C.E.

Pour évaluer le potentiel de la magnétite en tant que minéral indicateur des dépôts de Sulfures Massifs Volcanogènes (SMV), la composition des éléments traces et les caractéristiques (morphologie, taille des grains et textures de surface) de la magnétite provenant de différents contextes ont été investiguées. Les caractéristiques physiques et les associations minérales de la magnétite du dépôt d’Izok Lake (Nunavut, Canada), de la roche encaissante et du till recouvrant la zone à proximité ont été étudiés en utilisant la microscopie optique, le Microscope Électronique à Balayage (MEB) et l’Analyseur de Libération Minérale (MLA). Les résultats permettent de distinguer la magnétite magmatique, métamorphique et supergène dans un environnement de SMV, et indiquent que 1) la taille des grains de magnétite et leur relation texturale avec les associations minérales caractérisent la roche encaissante, 2) l’angularité de la magnétite du till est indicatrice de la forme originel du minérale, et 3) les textures de surface de la magnétite détritique sont diagnostiques des processus affectant les grains durant l’érosion, le transport, et après la déposition dans les sédiments glaciaire. La composition de la magnétite provenant d’Izok Lake (Nunavut, Canada) et d’Halfmile Lake (Nouveau-Brunswick, Canada) et de leurs roches encaissantes a été étudiée en utilisant le MEB, la microsonde électronique, et l’ablation laser- spectrométrie de masse à plasma à couplage inductif (LA-ICP-MS). Les données censurées ont été transformées en utilisant la routine R robCompositions, puis converties en utilisant les log-ratios centrés pour éviter tout effet de fermeture. L’analyse en Composantes Principales (ACP) permet de discriminer différents types de roche encaissantes et des dépôts basés sur la teneur de la magnétite en Si, Ca, Zr, Al, Ga, Mn, Mg, Ti, Zn, Co, Ni et Cr. Les données de composition de la magnétite de seize dépôts SMV (mafique, bimodal mafique, bimodal felsique, felsique-silicoclastique), et de trois Formations de Fer Rubanées (FFR) associés à des SMV ont été investiguées par analyse discriminante par les moindres carrés partiels (PLS-DA) pour distinguer les différentes compositions de magnétite basées sur les teneurs en Si, Ca, Al, Mn, Mg, Ti, Zn, Co et Ni. Le résultat indique quatre types de magnétite en association avec les dépôts de SMV: magmatique, hydrothermale, métamorphique, et la magnétite zonée. L’analyse des données par PLS-DA sépare la magnétite des SMV et BIF des autres types de gites minéraux. Les analyses en PCA et PLS-DA des échantillons de la roche encaissante/dépôt SMV et FFR produisent un modèle de discrimination de la composition de la magnétite dans le till qui peut être utilisé pour identifier, en exploration minérale, la magnétite dérivée de l'érosion d'un SMV par un glacier.To evaluate the potential of magnetite as an indicator mineral for Volcanogenic Massive Sulfide (VMS) deposits, trace element compositions and physical characteristics (morphology, grain size, and surface textures) of magnetite from various VMS settings were investigated. Physical characteristics and mineral associations of magnetite from the Izok Lake deposit (Nunavut, Canada), its host bedrocks, and till covering the nearby area were studied using optical microscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Mineral Liberation Analysis (MLA). The results distinguish magmatic, metamorphic and supergene magnetite in the VMS setting, and indicate that 1) the grain-size distribution of magnetite and its textural relationships with mineral associations fingerprint the host bedrocks, 2) the angularity of magnetite in till is indicative of the original shape of the mineral, and 3) the surface textures of detrital magnetite are diagnostic of processes affecting grains during erosion, transport, and after deposition in glacial sediments. Variation in magnetite composition from the Izok Lake (Nunavut, Canada) and Halfmile Lake (New Brunswick, Canada) deposits and their host rocks were studied using SEM, Electron Probe Micro-Analyzer (EPMA), and Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS). The data were transformed for censored values using the R-package robCompositions. Transformed data were converted using centered log-ratio to overcome the closure effect, and then were investigated by Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to discriminate different rock/deposit samples based on Si, Ca, Zr, Al, Ga, Mn, Mg, Ti, Zn, Co, Ni and Cr contents of magnetite. The data from sixteen VMS deposits from four subtypes (mafic, bimodal-mafic, bimodal-felsic, and felsic-siliciclastic), and three VMS-associated Banded Iron Formations (BIF) were also investigated by Partial Least Squares Discriminant Analysis (PLS-DA). PLS-DA to distinguish different compositions of magnetite based on Si, Ca, Al, Mn, Mg, Ti, Zn, Co and Ni contents. The results indicate four types of magnetite in association with VMS deposits: 1) magmatic, 2) hydrothermal, 3) metamorphic, and 4) zoned magnetite. PLS-DA separates VMS and VMS-associated BIF magnetite from that of other mineral deposit types including Ni-Cu, porphyry, IOCG and IOA deposits. PCA and PLS-DA of magnetite data from VMS bedrock/deposit and BIF samples yield discrimination models that can be used to classify magnetite compositions in till samples for mineral exploration.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse vise à améliorer la précision numérique des simulations aéroacoustiques d’écoulements dans un contexte précis, celui du cadre industriel avec un partenariat Dassault Aviation. Pour répondre à cette problématique, la modélisation aux grandes échelles est utilisée afin de la rendre plus efficace et adaptée à la méthode numérique des éléments finis stabilisée par SUPG/GLS. Afin de préciser la méthode numérique, une première partie est consacrée à la formulation théorique et pratique du code AETHER utilisé. La précision des schémas numériques spatial et temporel est aussi présentée. L’idéologie principale issue de la famille des modèles Variational Multi-Scale a été retenue afin de construire le nouveau modèle de sous-maille. En effet, une précédente thèse avait démontré la pertinence de ce type d’approche pour les éléments finis. Même si le cadre est applicatif, cette thèse propose une réflexion générale sur le filtrage numérique en éléments finis ainsi qu’un nouveau procédé pour filtrer le plus efficacement l’écoulement calculé. Cette nouvelle approche de filtrage est particulièrement bien adaptée aux éléments finis et à la montée en ordre spatial. Un modèle hybride de gestion des parois est aussi développé afin de pouvoir utiliser le nouveau modèle de sous-maille dans des configurations complexes comprenant des surfaces solides. Le processus de filtrage est testé sur le cas académique des tourbillons de Taylor-Green et présente un réel gain. Enfin le modèle global est utilisé pour calculer une configuration industrielle de tri-corps hypersustenté nommée LEISA II. Grâce au nouveau modèle proposé et validé par les résultats expérimentaux, il a été possible de fournir des interprétations physiques pointues sur le comportement complexe de l’écoulement du bec et du bruit qu’il génère. Cette dernière partie est une illustration pertinente de l’utilisation des modèles aux grandes échelles pourtant coûteux, et cela même dans un contexte industrielThe goal of this thesis is to improve the numerical accuracy for aeroacoustic flow simulations in a given scope, that is an industrial application for a partnership with the aircraft company Dassault Aviation. These works are then looking for a new large eddy simulation (LES) model which is efficient and well suited for the finite element formulation and the SUPG/GLS stabilisation method. In order to clarify the scientific environment and numerical tools, a first part is devoted to the theoretical and practical framework of the AETHER code. The spatial and temporal performances of its numerical schemes are assessed too. The philosophy of the Variational Multi-scale models has been selected to build an improvement for the new subgrid model. Indeed, a previous thesis had already demonstrated the relevance of this kind of models especially for the finite element method. Despite the industrial framework, a general reflection on the numerical filtering in finite elements is suggested and a new filtering process is developed in order to sort efficiently the scales of the simulated flow. This new filtering method is especially well fitted to finite element simulations and the high spatial order schemes. An hybrid model has been developed too in order to be able to use the new VMS model in complex configurations involving solid bodies. The filtering process is assessed on an academic case called Taylor-Green vortices and shows a real benefit compare to classical approaches. Finally the whole model is used to compute an industrial configuration, a three-element high-lift device called LEISA II. Thank to the validation of the new model with the experimental results, it has been possible to find accurate explanations about the complex flow behaviour of the slat and its noise generation. This last part is a relevant demonstration of the LES models use in the industrial world even if they are still costly in computation ressources

Full textAbstract:
The Rävliden mine is located in the Skellefte district in northern Sweden. In close proximity lays the Kristineberg deposit containing zinc, copper and lead ore which has been mined since the 1940’s. The district is rich in massive sulphide deposits and the mining history can be dated back to the 1920’s. New deposits are still being discovered and understanding the origin of the ores and their formation processes are more and more important when looking for new orebodies. The area itself is ca 1.8 Ga and most rocks have undergone hydrothermal alteration and been metamorphosed. The main purpose of this study was to determine the host rock protolith and the method chosen was developed by MacLean and Barrett (2005) in which immobile element ratios are used for determining the chemostratigraphy. Two main alteration types are recognized and two minor ones. The dominant ones being sericite and chlorite alteration. The boreholes also display some silicification and carbonate alteration. While the TAS-diagram shows that most samples are either dacitic or rhyolitic with a small group of andesitic rocks. Further usage of both the Alteration box plot and various immobile element plots show that the amount of dacitic samples are low. Instead rhyolite is the predominant rock type with four subgroups, there is also one dacite group and one probable andesitic intrusion. The mineralisation is low so it was not possible to correlate alteration type to ore occurrence, nor was it possible to see any correlation between protolith and mineralisation. The study did determine the protolith for the boreholes and the data and therefore the method can be used for exploration in other areas.Rävlidengruvan ligger i Skelleftedistriktet i norra Sverige och i dess närhet ligger även Kritinebergsgruvan där zink, koppar och bly har brutits ur malmkroppen sedan 1940-talet. Distriktet är rikt på massiva sulfid avlagringar och gruvdrift i området kan dateras tillbaka till 1920-talet. Nya fyndigheter upptäcks fortfarande och förståelse för deras uppkomst och malmernas bildningsprocesser blir är allt viktigare när man ska söka nya malmkroppar. Skelleftedistriktet är ca 1,8 Ga och de flesta bergarter har antingen genomgått metamorfos eller hydrotermal omvandling. Huvudsyftet med denna studie var att fastställa ursprungsbergarten för området, innan hydrotermal omvandling skedde, med hjälp av en metod som har utvecklats av MacLean och Barrett. Metoden grundar sig i att man jämför relationerna mellan immobila grundämnen för att på så sätt fastställa kemostratigrafin. Fyra omvandlingstyper återfinns i borrhålen där två är mer prominenta, serecit och klorit omvandling. De mindre vanliga omvandlingstyperna är silicifiering eller kvartsomvandlig samt karbonatomvandling. De flesta prover är antingen daciter eller ryoliter med en liten grupp andesiter så visar de olika diagrammen med immobila elementet på att mängden daciter är få. Istället finns det fyra typer av ryoliter, en grupp daciter och en trolig andesitisk intrusion. Mängden mineralisering var låg så det var inte möjligt att korrelera omvandlingstyp till malm bildning, inte heller var det möjligt att se något samband mellan protoliten och mineralisering. Studien besvarade hypotesen om ursprungsbergarten för borrhålen och metoden kan användas för andra prospekteringsområden.

Ce travail est une contribution à la simulation numérique d'écoulements turbulents dans un but d'application industrielle. Nous nous intéressons dans un premier temps à une nouvelle combinaison "VMS-LES/procédure dynamique" pour la simulation d'écoulements autour de cylindres circulaire et carré. L'approche VMS-LES mise en œuvre a pour originalité d'utiliser une procédure de moyennage sur des volumes finis agglomérés dans le but de séparer les échelles, l'approche dynamique étant celle introduite par Germano en LES. Une approche hybride RANS/VMS-LES est ensuite évaluée sur le problème du cylindre circulaire à des nombres de Reynolds élevés. Cette approche introduit un paramètre d'hybridation qui selon la résolution locale de grille privilège le modèle RANS ou celui VMS-LES. Enfin, les performances d'un algorithme de Schwarz deux-niveau, qui utilise les méthodes de déflation et de balancing, sont examinées d'un point de vue efficacité et scalabilité dans le cas de simulations VMS-LESThis work is a contribution to the numerical simulation of turbulent flows with the aim of industrial application. At first, we focus on a new combination "VMS-LES/dynamic procedure" for the simulation of flows around circular and square cylinders. The VMS-LES approach adopted in this work is original in using an averaging procedure over agglomerated finite volumes in order to separate the scales, the dynamic approach being the one introduced by Germano in LES. A RANS/VMS-LES hybrid approach is then evaluated on the circular cylinder test case at high Reynolds numbers. This approach introduces a hybridization parameter which privileges the RANS model or the VMS-LES model according to the grid resolution. Finally, the performance of a two-level Schwarz algorithm, which uses the deflation and balancing methods, are examined in terms of efficiency and scalability in the context of VMS-LES simulations

Full textAbstract:
Les contextes national et international sont marqués par une prise de conscience de plus en plus grande de l’importance du poisson pour la sécurité alimentaire des populations des pays sous-développés. En Mauritanie, les petits pélagiques constituent une source de protéines animales accessibles aux faibles pouvoirs d’achat et contribuent à garantir la sécurité alimentaire de nombreuses populations. Malgré la présence d’une variabilité naturelle importante des espèces pélagiques, ce travail de thèse montre qu’il existe des éléments de stabilité dans l’écosystème pélagique dans la zone nord-ouest africaine. L’hypothèse de la présence des stocks sédentaires au niveau des zones de nourriceries en Mauritanie et au Sénégal est démontrée. La répartition spatio-temporelle des sardinelles en relation avec la dynamique de l’océan (upwelling, température de surface et chlorophylle) a été examinée. L’analyse des statistiques de la pêche sur une série de plus de trente (30) ans ne soutiennent pas l’immigration en provenance du Sénégal vers la Mauritanie d'Avril à Septembre selon l’hypothèse de Boëly (1978). Ce travail de thèse examine des hypothèses de migrations possibles des sardinelles dans la zone nord-ouest africaine et d’importantes implications en matière de gestion sont discutées. Pour finir, ce travail est replacé dans son contexte plus global de l’aménagement de la pêcherie des petits pélagiques. De nouvelles perspectives pour l’application des techniques géostatistiques (indicatrices et co-krigeage) et modélisation statistique sont envisagées pour l’étude de la dynamique des stocks des sardinelles et chinchardsNational and international context marked by an awareness of growing importance of pelagic fish for food security of people in underdeveloped countries . The depletion of demersal species also makes this extremely important resource for the future pelagic fisheries in Mauritania. Mauritanian EEZ is characterized by the existence of a favorable development of several species hydro-climatic and morphological phenomena , small pelagic species that represent more than 90% of the fisheries potential is about one million tones. The major problems facing the management of these species is understanding the roles played by them in their biogeography intrinsic spatio- temporal dynamics ( short-lived , aggregation , etc. ..) and the evaluation of their abundances . Assessment of exploited fish stocks is a priority. However, the recurring difficulty of evaluations of these fisheries, naturally very unstable, often reflected a lack of precision in the methods used , the incompleteness of the data ( which is also a problem of sampling) or sampling uncontrolled .The Mauritanian small pelagic fisheries are multi-species (sardines , horse mackerel , sardinella ) . In addition to the data provided by the logbooks including the holding is mandatory for industrial units, survey data for the landing craft and coastal segment often used to calculate the abundance, acoustic surveys , are an important means for quantify the abundance and study the distribution of these resources. The data collected by observers on board fishing industrial units are also a source of important information.Based on these data , this work aims at the reconstruction of the main series of abundances of small pelagic stocks in the northern part of West Africa , to be used in the adjustment of stock assessments models. Given the importance of the environmental component in very large fluctuations observed, the integration of this dimension in the analysis of this series catches the role of each of these factors (fisheries and environment) in the variability of abundance seasonal and amplitude of their migration.In addition to these conventional data Mauritania introduced on board commercial fishing vessels with VMS . This system allows the transmission by satellite to the body control the ship's position every hour is an important technological advance. This new type of data could therefore be a new source for estimating abundance and fishing effort of small pelagic species through appropriate statistical methods. A method for the interpretation in terms of paths abundance index was applied. The coupling of VMS and logbook will help to improve the definition of nominal fishing effort and catch location at fine spatial and temporal.The general problem is how to improve the estimation of the abundance of small pelagic stocks , understand fluctuations in the abundance and migration strategy of the species as well as tactics and strategies implemented by fleets to fish resources whose behavior is often erratic . It is therefore to adresse several issues in particular:What is the trend of the evolution of the abundance of pelagic species in the North West African area? The interpretation of the trajectories in terms of VMS fishing can it be used to map the abundance of key species? What are the seasons abundances? Environmental parameters they play an important role on the distribution of species? Will there a difference between tactics and strategies of the different fleets fishing for small pelagic? Data logs and data collected by observers on board can be used as a priori knowledge? To address these issues , we proceed to the mobilization of all relevant time series and implement innovative statistical and geostatistical methods , some of which applied for the first time in the sub -region for these stocks

A computação em nuvem é utilizada para os mais diferentes propósitos, desde sistemas comerciais até aplicações de tempo real, como vídeo streaming. Paralisações e quedas de serviço trazem prejuízos financeiros para as organizações provedoras da nuvem pública, além de denegrir a reputação delas. Assim, a disponibilidade representa um dos principais desafios para tornar a computação em nuvem mais confiável. Os administradores precisam ter mecanismos para estimar a disponibilidade de seus sistemas, para poder definir SLAs com mais propriedade. Um dos problemas que afeta diretamente a disponibilidade dos sistemas de nuvem é o envelhecimento de software. Tal problema promove uma degradação gradual do desempenho e confiabilidade das aplicações hospedadas em ambientes de nuvens. Nesse contexto, esta dissertação propõe modelos para avaliação de disponibilidade em ambientes de nuvem com rejuvenescimento habilitado por migração de máquinas virtuais. Para tanto, é adotada uma metodologia que favorece a concepção desses modelos, embasada em modelos de disponibilidade de infraestrutura básica de nuvem (FrontEnd, Nó e VM), que são validados por intermédio da injeção de falhas e reparos em um ambiente real, e em experimentos práticos de envelhecimento e rejuvenescimento de software. Com os modelos de infraestrutura básica da nuvem são geradas fórmulas fechadas, que passam por uma análise de sensibilidade. Experimentos são realizados para indicar a presença de envelhecimento e a efetividade do método de rejuvenescimento proposto. A partir disso, é construído um modelo hierárquico baseado em RBD e SPN capaz de representar diferentes agendamentos de migração de VMs para rejuvenescimento. Os estudos de caso mostram a aplicabilidade dos modelos propostos. Em um deles é possível concluir que, considerando os modos operacional e de falha exibidos, o FrontEnd é o componente mais crítico para a disponibilidade de infraestruturas básicas. E que, considerando o ambiente estudado, o tempo de reparo é mais sensível que o de falha para a disponibilidade estacionária. Em outro, utilizando o modelo SPN, conclui-se que o agendamento correto de migrações pode acarretar ganhos significativos na disponibilidade do sistema, principalmente naqueles que se submetem às cargas de trabalho mais intensas. Ainda são expostos dois estudos de caso adicionais: um para comparar diferentes mecanismos de redundância (cold-standby e warm-standby), e outro para observar o impacto causado pela interrupção em cada migração na disponibilidade estacionária do sistema.

[Truncated abstract. Formulae and special characters can only be approximated here. Please see the pdf version of this abstract for an accurate representation.] The 3.24 Ga Panorama VMS District, located in the Pilbara Craton of Western Australia, is exposed as a cross-section through subvolcanic granite intrusions and a coeval submarine volcanic sequence that hosts Zn-Cu mineralization. The near-complete exposure across the district, the very low metamorphic grade, and the remarkable preservation of primary igneous and volcanic textures provides an unparalleled opportunity to examine the P-T-X-source evolution of a VMS ore-forming system and to assess the role of the subvolcanic intrusions as heat sources and/or metal contributors to the overlying VMS hydrothermal system. Detailed mapping of the Panorama VMS District has revealed seven major vein types related to the VMS hydrothermal system or to the subvolcanic intrusions. (1) Quartz-chalcopyrite veins, hosted in granophyric granite immediately beneath the granite-volcanic contact, formed prior to main stage VMS hydrothermal convection, and were precipitated from mixed H2OCO 2-NaCl-KCl fluids with variable salinities (2.5 to 8.5 wt% NaCl equiv). (2) Quartz-sericite veins, ubiquitous across the top 50m of the volcanic sequence, were formed from an Archean seawater with a salinity of 9.7 to 11.2 wt% NaCl equiv at temperatures of 90° to 135°C. These veins formed synchronous with the regional feldspar-sericite-quartz-ankerite alteration during seawater recharge into the main stage VMS hydrothermal convection cells. (3) Quartz-pyrite veins hosted in granophyric granite, and (4) quartz-carbonate-pyrite veins hosted in andesitebasalt, also formed from relatively unevolved Archean seawater (5.5 to 10.1 wt% NaCl equiv; 150° to 225°C), but during the collapse of the VMS hydrothermal system when cool, unmodified seawater invaded the top of the subvolcanic intrusions. (5) Quartz-topaz-muscovite greisen, (6) quartz-chlorite-chalcopyrite vein greisen, and (7) hydrothermal Cu-Zn-Sn veins are hosted in the subvolcanic intrusions. Primary H2O-NaCl-CaCl2 fluid inclusions in the vein greisens were complex high temperature hypersaline inclusions (up to 590°C and up to 56 wt% NaCl equiv). The H2O-CO2-NaCl fluid inclusions in the Cu-Zn-Sn veins have variable salinities, ranging from 4.9 to 14.1 wt% NaCl equiv, and homogenization temperatures ranging from 160° to 325°C. The hydrothermal quartz veins and magmatic metasomatic phases in the subvolcanic intrusions were formed from a magmatic-hydrothermal fluid that had evolved through wallrock reactions, cooling, and finally mixing with seawater-derived VMS hydrothermal fluids.

Se consideraron tres aspectos geológicos fundamentales; contexto tectónico, controles estructurales y características vulcanológicas-sedimentarias; las cuales se estudiaron mediante petroquímica, cartografiado y microscopia. El contexto tectónico corresponde a un arco volcánico submarino poco profundo, donde se depositaron las secuencias volcánico-sedimentarias del Grupo Casma asociadas a los depósitos VMS, caracterizadas por una signatura calco-alcalina, enriquecimiento de elementos de tierras raras ligeras (LREE) y anomalías negativas en Nb y Ti; además de acuerdo a la razón Ce/Y estas secuencias se depositaron en una corteza de ~20-30 km de espesor. Los controles estructurales estuvieron relacionados a la convergencia oblicua entre la placa oceánica Farallón y la placa continental Sudamericana durante el cretácico, lo que genero esfuerzos extensivos oblicuos a lo largo del sistema de fallas Ocros-Conchao-Cocachacra, y permitió la formación de cuencas locales. Las rocas volcánicas están caracterizadas por una composición bimodal y metaluminosa. A escala distrital, la mineralización se asocia a niveles félsicos, por lo que estos depósitos corresponden al tipo bimodal-félsico, y esta clasificación es congruente con el contexto tectónico de arco submarino.Tesis

Full textAbstract:
The satellite communications system called the Vessel Management System was used to provide geospatial data on oyster fishing over the nearly 1.7 million acres of the public water bottoms in Louisiana. An algorithm to analyze the data was developed in order to model vessel behaviors including docked, gearing, fishing and traveling. Vessel speeds were calculated via the Haversine formula at small and large intervals and compared to derive a measure of linearity. The algorithm was implemented into software using Python and inserted into a PostgreSQL database supporting geospatial information. Queries were developed to obtain reports on vessel activities and daily effort expended per behavior. ArcGIS was used to display and interpret the patterns produced by the vessel activity, yielding information about fishing activity clusters and effort which implied the location and productiveness of oyster reefs.

Full textAbstract:
Construction is increasing due to increased demand and degradation of existing infrastructure. This construction often results in a reduced number of traffic lanes or lane width during construction, which often creates queue at the entrance to work zones. Variable Advisory Speed Systems (VASS) provide drivers with advanced warning regarding traffic speeds downstream to help them make better decisions in advance of problems that may exist downstream. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a VASS at mitigating queues in work zone entrances during peak hour conditions. It was anticipated that by implementing a VASS queues would be reduced and vehicle flow increased in work zone areas. Three objectives of this study were: (1) research VASS systems that are available to be tested, (2) select and deploy a VASS in Utah at a long-term work zone, and (3) perform a statistical analysis on traffic flow characteristic data to evaluate the effectiveness of the VASS on queue mitigation. A literature review on the use of VASS for work zones returned minimal studies on advisory speeds in work zones. Most of the advanced speed notification systems, found during the literature review, used variable speed limit (VSL) applications. A VASS was selected and deployed at the northbound approach to the I-15 Beck St. widening project in North Salt Lake City. In this study the VASS consisted of five sensors and two variable message signs (VMSs). To determine if the system was effective at reducing queue the speed data were analyzed in detail to come to statistical conclusions. The collected data shows that the VASS investigated was effective on weekends during evening peak hours when there was a slow down. No consistent significance was seen on week days during the evening peak. There was no statistical difference between before and after speed data on any day of the week when there was no slow down. This study is valuable because it is unique in studying an advisory speed using VMSs and other ITS technology. This study recommends that further studies be conducted without a movable median barrier system, as was used in this construction project, to evaluate further about the effectiveness of VASSs. It is recommended that, if a VASS is considered, studies be done to see whether queues are expected to form at the work zone entrance, as VASSs will not be effective if queues do not form.

This study presents the implementation of a voice messaging system using the Peer2Me framework. Voice messaging system (VMS) is an attempt for a new era of communication which is an intuitive-to-use service that adds an emotional and personal dimension to messaging. It enables the user to send voice messages in a peer-to-peer network. One of the objectives of designing VMS is to use the Peer2Me framework which is a framework for developing mobile collaborative applications on mobile phones. For this purpose an initial background study of the framework, central concepts, related technology and state of the art was carried out. We started with the realization of the idea of the VMS by defining its functional and quality requirements, software architecture and high level design. The implementation was carried out in MIDP/J2ME. The application was tested throughout the implementation process and a system test was performed on real phones on completion of the implementation phase. At the end we evaluated our work, discussed the problems we encountered, answered our research questions, gave our conclusions and described further work that could be carried out on the VMS.

Full textAbstract:
The Lalor deposit is a newly discovered Paleoproterozoic volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposit located at the east end of the Flin Flon-Snow Lake belt within the Snow Lake arc assemblage. Lalor is the largest of 11 VMS deposits in the Snow Lake arc assemblage, with combined resources and reserves of 25.3 Mt and average grades of 2.9 g/t Au, 25 g/t Ag, 5 wt% Zn and 0.79 wt% Cu, including 8.8 Mt at 4.6 g/t Au. Lalor and all other deposits in the Snow Lake arc assemblage have been affected by intense polyphase deformation and amphibolite facies metamorphism. As a result, both the original hydrothermal alteration assemblages and the ore mineral assemblages have been completely recrystallized. However, a variety of different ore types have been preserved, allowing the partial reconstruction of the hydrothermal system, including massive Fe-Zn sulphide lenses, discordant Cu-Au stringer zones, and distinctive precious metal-rich Au-Ag-Pb-Cu zones. The different ore types occur in a series of stratigraphically and structurally “stacked” ore lenses that partly overlap but still largely preserve the original architecture of the deposit.
The ore is distributed in 12 discrete lenses or zones of mineralization that are interpreted to be the result of several distinct and overlapping hydrothermal events. Type 1 Fe-Zn massive sulphide ore is the most common ore type in six ore lenses and consists of massive coarse-grained pyrite and sphalerite with trace galena in dominantly quartz-muscovite±kyanite-biotite schist (K alteration association). Type 2 Cu-Au mineralization consists of semi-massive and stockwork chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite in garnetiferous quartz-biotite±staurolite-amphibole-cordierite gneisses (footwall Mg-Fe alteration association). Despite extensive recrystallization and local remobilization, these two ore types are interpreted to represent the (metamorphosed) low- and high-temperature ore assemblages, respectively, of a typical volcanogenic massive sulphide deposit. Type 3 Au-Ag-Pb-Cu-rich ore consists of stringer and disseminated sulphides and sulphosalts mainly hosted in chlorite-carbonate-actinolite schist (Mg-Ca and Ca alteration associations). Galena is an important indicator of Au mineralization and occurs in this ore type as fine-grained blebs in a matrix of chlorite, dolomite, calcite, anthophyllite, Ca-plagioclase, and calc-silicates (epidote, grossular, diopside, Ca-amphibole ± scapolite). Where abundant, the galena is associated with chalcopyrite, pyrite, pyrrhotite and minor to trace sphalerite, Ag-Sb-Pb sulphosalts, electrum and native gold. Type 4 low-sulphide ore contains ≤10 vol% disseminated pyrite in quartz-biotite-anthophyllite gneiss, with minor chlorite, staurolite, and coarse almandine garnet, and has variable Au grades. The sulphides and sulphosalts in ore types 3 and 4 are interpreted to be metamorphically remobilized from pre-existing disseminated mineralization.
The hydrothermal system developed during two main episodes of seafloor volcanism. Type 1 massive sulphides in the 10 and 11 lenses and in the 20, 30, 31, and 40 lenses were formed at the paleoseafloor. These lenses are underlain by Type 2 Cu-Au stockwork mineralization (27 Lens) and originally conformable zones of Type 3 Au-Ag-Pb mineralization (21, 24, 25, 26, and 28 lenses). The large Cu-Au stockwork zone (27 Lens) may have been the main feeder of the deposit and is partly continuous with disseminated Au-Ag-Pb-Cu galena-sulphosalts mineralization below the 20 base metal Lens. The Au-Ag-Pb-Cu mineralization is thought to have formed in the subseafloor from late-stage, lower-temperature hydrothermal fluids (ca. <300°C). In this model, significant Au was introduced first by high-temperature (>300°C) fluids responsible for the Type 2 Cu-Au mineralization and then by lower-temperature (possibly boiling) hydrothermal fluids responsible for Type 3 Ag-Au-Pb-Cu mineralization. Although all the ore types are extensively recrystallized and partly remobilized, their distribution strongly supports primary hydrothermal Au enrichment at Lalor. The lead isotopic compositions of the ore galena show no evidence of post-magmatic disturbance that would be expected if Au had been introduced during deformation and metamorphism (e.g., as in the nearby New Britannia orogenic Au deposit), and the Au-rich assemblages are very similar to those that commonly occur in unmetamorphosed Au-rich volcanogenic massive sulphide deposits.

Este trabalho procura definir o modelo metalogenético do Depósito de Cu/Zn Pojuca Corpo Quatro, localizado na porção norte da Província Mineral de Carajás, utilizando para tanto dados geoquímicos, petrográficos e geométricos da seção vertical -300E. A história geológica e metalogenética do Depósito Pojuca Corpo Quatro é complexa. De idade Arqueana, o Depósito Pojuca Corpo Quatro está hospedado em rochas metavulcanossedimentares do Grupo Igarapé Pojuca, que são correlacionáveis às rochas do Grupo Grão Pará. Devido a sua idade e posicionamento geográfico dentro da Província Mineral de Carajás, o Depósito Pojuca Corpo Quatro sofreu inteferência dos mais diversos processos geológicos ocorridos na região, como deformações, metamorfismo e hidrotermalismo. Os minérios do depósito ocorrem de duas formas diferentes, uma mineralização stratabound (primária), seguindo o bandamento das rochas hospedeiras, e um minério em brechas, vênulas e disseminado (remobilizado ou secundário). Características destas tipologias de minério sugerem diferentes fases de mineralização, sendo a mineralização primária ou stratabound, cuja paragênese é constituida de calcopirita, pirrotita e esfalerita, considerada neste trabalho como sendo do tipo VMS, e a mineralização secundária ou remobilizada, de paragênse formada por pirrotita, calcopirita e molibdenita, descrita como sendo produto de eventos hidrotermais mais jovens, do tipo IOCG.This paper seeks to define the metallogenic model of the Cu / Zn Deposit of Pojuca Corpo Quatro, located in the northern portion of the Carajas Mineral Province, using geochemical, petrographic and geometric data from vertical section -300E. The geological and metallogenic history of Pojuca Corpo Quatro Deposit is complex. Archean aged, Pojuca Corpo Quatro Deposit is hosted by Igarapé Pojuca Group metavolcanossedimentary rocks, which may correlate with Grand Para Group rocks. Due to it`s age and geographical location within the Carajás Mineral Province, Pojuca Corpo Quatro Deposit suffered inference from various geological processes in the area, as deformation, metamorphism and hydrothermal alteration. The ore occur in two different ways, a stratabound mineralization (primary), following the banding of the host rock and ore in a breccia, veinlets and disseminated (remobilized or secondary). Characteristics of these types of ore suggest different stages of mineralization, the primary or stratabound mineralization, which paragenesis is composed of chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite and sphalerite, is considered here as VMS type and remobilized or secondary ore, formed by pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and molybdenite, is described as being the product of IOCG-type younger hydrothermal events.

Full textAbstract:
The giant Kidd Creek Mine is an Archean Cu-Zn-Ag deposit in the Abitibi Greenstone belt, located in the Superior Province of Canada and is one of the largest known base metal massive sulfide mines in the world with a tonnage of 170.7 Mt (Past production, Resource and Reserve). The massive sulfides in Mine D comprise a number of ore lenses that are interpreted to be the downplunge continuation of the Central orebody from the upper mine. These are referred to as the West, Main, and South lenses. The massive sulfides overlie a silicified rhyolitic unit at the top of a mixed assemblage of rhyolite flows, volcaniclastic sediments and ultramafic flows. The sheared nature of the fragmental units in the hanging wall of the deposit, at depth, illustrates the greater deformation that has occurred than in the upper mine. Metal zonation and the distribution of Cu stringer mineralization suggest that the West and Main lenses may be part of a single massive sulfide body (Main orebody) that has been structurally dismembered. The South Lens is a detached body, separated by late faults. The large Cu stringer zone beneath the West and Main lenses has a thickness of up to 150 metres, and is much broader and structurally remobilized in Mine D partially due to a newly identified series of vertically trending offset faults, that extends along the entire length of the massive sulfide bodies. A number of features of the North, Central and South orebodies in the upper part of the mine (e.g., Se-rich halo around Cu-rich zones) have been recognized in Mine D and provide an important framework for correlating the deep orebodies with the upper levels of the mine. Drilling below the current mine levels indicates that the massive sulfide and Cu stringer zones continue below 10,200 feet (3109 m) and highlight the remarkable continuity of the deposit downplunge with no end in sight. Two main ore suites have been recognized in the upper part of the mine and in Mine D: a low-temperature, polymetallic assemblage of Zn, Ag, Pb, Cd, Sn, Sb, As, Hg, ±Tl, ±W, and a higher-temperature suite of Cu, Co, As, Bi, Se, In, ±Ni. More than 25 different ore minerals and ore-related gangue minerals are present, including Co-As-sulfides, Cu-Sn-sulfides, Ag-minerals, and selenides. The massive ores consist mainly of pyrite, pyrrhotite, sphalerite, magnetite and chalcopyrite, together with minor galena, tetrahedrite, arsenopyrite, and native silver with a quartz and siderite gangue. Despite the high Ag content of the ores, the majority of the massive sulfides are remarkably Au poor except for a local gold zone that has been recognized in the deep mine in association with high-temperature mineralization. The trace elements in the ores exhibit strong zonation and diverse mineralogy. Spectacular albite porphyroblasts, up to 1 cm in size occur in the most Cu-rich ores of Mine D which are coincident with the peak of regional metamorphism and likely represent higher metamorphic or hydrothermal temperatures. Overall the orebodies have remained remarkably similar downplunge. However, unlike the upper part of the mine, pyrrhotite is dominantly hexagonal, only tetrahedrite was observed as the dominant sulfosalt, and magnetite occurs as both blebby porphyroblasts and as abundant intergrowths with sphalerite-chalcopyrite ores and siderite. These characteristics suggest that the deep mine has been subjected to higher metamorphic temperatures, possibly related to depth of burial, and that the original hydrothermal fluids may of had a lower H2S/CO2 and/or higher temperatures.

The shell is a specific type of CLI that was originally designed and used with UNIX operating systems.The author proposes to design and implement a shell-like CLI on top of the VMS operating system. The shell will enhance VMS features by providing an easier to use syntax and by providing features that are not currently available through VMS. These features include piping facilities and the ability to enter and/or reference multiple commands from a single command line. A language reference manual is provided with the J-shell.

Full textAbstract:
The Glacier Creek volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) deposit is hosted within Late Triassic, oceanic back-arc or intra-arc, rift-related, bimodal volcanic rocks (Hyd or Tats Group) of the allochthonous Alexander terrane known as the Alexander Triassic Metallogenic Belt (ATMB). The deposit presently consists of four tabular massive sulfide lenses with a resource of 4.75 Mt. at 1.84% Cu, 4.57% Zn, 0.15% Pb, 0.28 g/t Au and 29.07 g/t Ag. A deposit-scale thrust fault offsets stratigraphy along the axial surface of a deposit-scale anticline.
The massive sulfide lenses are barite-rich and are divided into 6 main ore-types based on mineral assemblages. There is a large range of sphalerite compositions, with low-Fe sphalerite dominant throughout the lenses and high-Fe sphalerite at the top and bottom of the lenses in pyrrhotite-rich zones. Lenses contain anomalous Sb, Hg and Tl. Gangue minerals include barite, quartz, barian-muscovite, calcite, albite, highly subordinate chlorite and locally hyalophane and celsian. Overlying massive sulfide is a tuffaceous hydrothermal sediment with anomalous REE patterns and local hyalophane.
The general footwall to all four lenses is a thick unit of coherent to volcaniclastic feldspar-phyric basalt containing extensive lateral alteration. Four alteration facies are recognized based on mineral assemblages. Mass balance calculations for the footwall indicate general gains of S, Fe, Si and K with coincident loss of Ca, Na and Mg, along with trace element gains of Tl, Sb, Hg, Ba, Zn, Cu, As and loss of Sr with increased alteration intensity. Short wavelength infrared (SWIR) spectroscopy shows a general decrease in Na, K and Al content of muscovite and increase of Fe+Mg and Ba content towards ore.
Integrated petrographic, mineral, chemical and sulfur-isotope data suggest a transition during deposit formation, from high-temperature, acidic, reduced hydrothermal fluids mixing with oxidized, SO4-rich seawater, to later cooler, low fO2-fS2 conditions of formation and a lack of SO4 in seawater.

Full textAbstract:
Tremendous physical and chemical exchanges occur along oceanic ridges between the lithosphere, the hydrosphere and the biosphere. During these exchanges important mobilisation of metals by hydrothermal fluid circulation takes place within the oceanic crust. Volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposits are hydrothermal ore deposits rich in Cu-Zn-Pb bearing sulphide minerals that form during submarine venting of these hydrothermal fluids near the seafloor. A proportion of the metals enriched in these deposits are mobilised from deeper crustal levels during high-temperature hydrothermal alteration. Gold-rich VMS deposits represent an important sub-set of VMS deposits that are enriched in Au and related elements such as As, Sb, Se and Te. The processes that form Au-rich VMS are still debated, due in part to our lack of understanding of the behaviour of these elements during formation and alteration of the oceanic crust. In this thesis we carry out a systematic investigation into the behaviour of Au, As, Sb, Se and Te during evolution of the oceanic crust. Three localities are studied: the Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Hole 1256D in the Cocos plate, the Troodos ophiolite in Cyprus and the ODP Hole 786B in the Izu-Bonin forearc. The investigation has been carried out using cutting-edge analytical techniques including ultra-low detection limit analyses of Au and other metals in rock samples. The objectives of the thesis are 1) to quantify the mobilisation of metals including Au, related elements As, Sb, Se and Te and base metals during the alteration of the oceanic crust; 2) to determine the mineral reactions which promote this mobilisation; 3) to investigate the variability in metal mobility in different tectonic settings in the oceanic crust and 4) to investigate the extent to which the composition of “source area” oceanic crust controls the composition of VMS deposits in different tectonic settings. The main outcomes of this study are fourfold. 1) The distribution of Au and related elements in primary crust varies considerably between different tectonic settings. Sulphide minerals play an important role in the behaviour of Au, Se and Cu during magmatic differentiation and hydrothermal alteration, but have a lesser influence on other metals. The oxidation state of the primary crust controls whether sulphide minerals are present, and thus is an important control on the budget and mobility of strongly chalcophile metals during hydrothermal alteration. 2) Large masses of Au and related elements are mobilised from the sheeted dyke complex in mid-oceanic ridge (MOR) and ophiolite settings. Significantly more metals are mobilised from the source areas than are trapped in the VMS deposits observed in these settings. Therefore, most of the metals mobilised from the source areas are lost, either during transport, venting, sedimentation or late fluid mobilisation. 3) Insufficient Au is mobilised from MOR settings at ODP Hole 1256D to form Au-rich VMS deposits. The quantity of Au mobilised from the Troodos ophiolite could potentially lead to Au-rich VMS formation but additional processes such as vapour separation by sub-seafloor boiling or magmatic volatile input would be required to increase the Au : base metal ratio. The lack of evidence for these processes in Troodos implies that Au-rich VMS deposits are not likely to be abundant in this area. 4) Isotopic and trace element evidence supports magmatic input in the hydrothermal system at ODP Hole 786B, implying that magmatic fluid input into hydrothermal systems leaves a specific signature which can be tracked.At the time of the doctoral defense, the following papers were unpublished and had a status as follows: Paper 3: Submitted. Paper 4: Manuscript.

Full textAbstract:
Wrangellia is a fundamental component of the North American Cordillera and contains significant mineral deposits, including Myra Falls (Nyrstar N.V.), which is currently the largest producing volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) deposit in western Canada. Understanding the evolution of Wrangellia is therefore important for understanding the crustal growth and metallogenic history of the North American continent, and in doing so, facilitating the discovery of new mineral wealth. Geochronological, lithogeochemical and Nd and Pb isotopic studies of the Paleozoic Wrangellia arc (PWA), Vancouver Island have significantly revised our understanding of the terrane, suggesting that the PWA comprises a progressively rifting Late Devonian through Early Permian oceanic volcanic arc complex developed above an east dipping subduction zone (modern coordinates) with Late Devonian through middle Mississippian, and Pennsylvanian through Early Permian pulses of bimodal volcanism and associated VMS mineralization. The relatively primitive lithogeochemical and Nd isotopic signatures of PWA intrusive and volcanic rocks indicate that the PWA originated in an oceanic arc environment close enough to a continental margin to undergo slight contamination via the subduction of continent derived sediments. Recently recognized, Pennsylvanian-Early Permian aged, VMS associated bimodal volcanic rocks in the PWA have lithogeochemical and Nd isotopic signatures indicative of derivation from more primitive and significantly hotter source melts than their Late Devonian counterparts, suggesting that Late Paleozoic volcanic rocks in the terrane are prospective for VMS mineralization. Lead isotope geochemistry of newly discovered VMS style mineralization in the PWA indicates that host areas for the new mineral occurrences are prospective for Myra Falls-like VMS deposits of Late Devonian-Early Mississippian age. Lead isotope geochemistry for recently recognized Pennsylvanian-Early Permian VMS mineralization in the PWA supports lithogeochemical and Nd isotopic arguments which suggest that Late Paleozoic bimodal volcanic rocks in the PWA were derived from more primitive melts than their Late Devonian-Early Mississippian counterparts, reflective of an origin in a progressively rifting, oceanic island arc environment.Science, Faculty of

The Barsele area is located in the "Gold Line", southwest of the volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) Skellefte district which hosts more than 85 known VMS-deposits where some are gold-bearing. The Barsele area consists of the Central, Avan and Skiråsen intrusion hosted gold deposits, the Norra gold-bearing VMS-deposit and the Risberget zone. This study includes a geochronological study of two coherent volcanic rocks from the Norra zone using Laser Ablation-Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry and Scanning Electron Microscope images of zircons and also includes petrographic microscopy of thin sections and lithogeochemical data used in classification diagrams. This study presents two new LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb ages for VMS-hosting volcanic rocks from the Barsele area: o 1956.8 ± 6.47 Ma (n: 17, MSWD: 0.99), sample A from a hydrothermally altered volcanic rock o 1952.2 ± 14.5 Ma (n: 6, MSWD: 1.1), sample B from a rhyolite-dacite The new U-Pb age constraints presented in this study indicate that the volcanic rocks of the Norra zone are older than the volcanic rocks in the Skellefte Group. The results presented in this report together with the earlier dated c. 1.96 Ga metadacite suggests that the volcanic rocks of the Barsele area are located at a lower chronostratigraphic level than the Skellefte Group, i.e., at the chronostratigraphically lower Bothnian Supergroup. Additionally, the results presented here conclude that two VMS-events can be delineated by geochronological data which further opens up for the question if the Barsele area belong to an older arc system (e.g., the Knaften arc) or were part of an arc system evolving continuously between 1.95-1.88 Ga (e.g., the Knaften-Skellefte arc).Barsele, Västerbottens län, norra Sverige, ligger i ett område som kallas för Guld linjen och är beläget sydväst om Skelleftefältet där mer än 85 kända förekomster av massiva sulfidmalmer (VMS), vissa guldförande, förekommer. Barseleområdet är uppdelat i Central, Avan och Skiråsen zonen, Norra zonen och Risberget zonen där Norra zonen är en guldförande VMS-fyndighet. Denna studie inkluderar en geokronologisk studie av zirkoner från två vulkaniter från Norra zonen som har analyserats med Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry och avbildats med svepelektronmikroskop samt petrografisk studie av två tunnslip och klassificeringsdiagram baserade på litogeokemisk data. Denna studie presenterar två nya LA-ICP-MS zirkon U-Pb åldrar för VMS-förande vulkaniter i Barseleområdet: o 1956.8 ± 6.47 Ma (n: 17, MSWD: 0.99), prov A från en hydrotermalt omvandlad vulkanisk bergart o 1952.2 ± 14.5 Ma (n: 6, MSWD: 1.1), prov B från en ryolit-dacit De två nya U-Pb zirkon åldersbestämningarna som presenteras i denna studie indikerar att de vulkaniska bergarterna i Norra zonen är äldre än de vulkaniska bergarterna som tillhör Skelleftegruppen. Vidare antyder de presenterade åldrarna i denna studie tillsammans med den tidigare genomförda dateringen av en metadacit (cirka 1.96 Ga) på att de vulkaniska bergarterna i Barseleområdet kan tillhöra suprakrustala bergarter tillhörande Bottniska bassängen. Barseleområdet föreslås därför förekomma vid en lägre kronostratigrafisk nivå jämfört med Skelleftegruppen, det vill säga vid samma kronostratigrafisk nivå som Bottniska Supergruppen. Utifrån de resultat som presenteras här kan slutsatsen att två VMS-områden kan avgränsas av geokronologiska data som ytterligare öppnar för frågan om Barsele-området tillhör ett äldre bågsystem (t.ex. Knaften-bågen) eller var en del av ett bågsystem som utvecklades mellan 1.95-1.88 Ga (t.ex. Knaften-Skelleftebågen).

Swedish Armed Forces are according to their development planning process taking actions to establish a new joint unit (SWEWOSE), with electronic warfare capability. SWEWOSÉ S main task will be designated to produce electronic warfare libraries for electronic warfare systems within the armed forces. The unit shall have capability to support with libraries in any state of conflict situation even if the supported unit with library needs conducting operations abroad. This essay examines the requirements that justify the establishment of a new unit in times when the armed forces conducting reorganizations and cutbacks in both economy and personnel. The possibilities to buy complete system solutions from an external supplier are examined. But also what kind of library support model that is to prefer according to the demands that the Swedish Armed Forces desired, in terms of capability in platform protection and battle space awareness. The results show that the demands that the Swedish Armed Forces has decided, best will be ful-filled and justified by a national electronic warfare unit, with library production as a main task.

Phd thesis, Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Mines de Saint-Etienne, 2013. http://tel.archives-ouvertes.fr/tel-00966922.
Full textAbstract:
Resin infusion-based processes are good candidates for manufacturing thin composite materials parts such as those used in aeronautics for instance. These processes consist in infusing a liquid resin into a stacking of fibrous preforms under the action of a mechanical pressure field applied onto this stacking where a stiff- distribution medium is also placed to create a resin feeding. Both physical and mechanical properties of the final pieces are rather difficult to predict and control. Numerical simulation are perfectly suited to master these processes. In the present work a numerical finite element modeling framework is proposed to simulate infusion processes. The flow of the assumed Newtonian resin is described in the distribution medium, a highly porous medium, through Stokes' equations and through Darcy's equations in the fibrous preforms, very low permeability media. This coupled Stokes-Darcy flow is modeled in a monolithic approach which consists in using a single mesh for both media. The mixed velocity- pressure formulation is then discretized by linear-linear finite elements, stabilized by a so-called ASGS multi-scale approach. Both Stokes-Darcy interface and fluid front are represented individually thanks to "Level-Set" functions, and some specific coupling conditions are prescribed on the interface separating both fluid and porous media. During the process, orthotropic preforms undergo finite strains, either during the compaction stage when resin is not yet present, or during resin infusion. Resin pressure then tends to make the preforms swell. Preforms deformations are represented through an updated Lagrangian formulation for finite deformations. Dry preforms possess a non-linear elastic behaviour in their transverse direction - across their thickness- given by existing experimental measurements. The effect of the presence of resin in the wet preforms is accounted for using a Terzaghi's equivalent model. Also, when preforms deform their porosity will change, and so will their permeability, modifying the resin flow. A Carman-Kozeny model is then used to relate porosity and permeability. After the Stokes-Darcy coupling is validated both on numerous tests cases and using the method of manufactured solutions, various 2D and 3D simulations of injection and infusion-based processes are analyzed.The latter includ- ing preform deformations along with resin flow. Comparisons with existing experimental measurements permit to validate the approach on a simple geometry. Last, some ex- tensions to more complex 3D cases are proposed as outlooks, including curvatures and thickness variations.

Full textAbstract:
Massive sulfide deposits in the Noranda mining camp, northwestern Québec, are mainly associated with extensive footwall alteration defined by intense chloritization and sericitization. However, Fe-carbonate alteration also occurs in proximity to some deposits. To test the exploration significance of carbonate alteration in the camp, two areas of intense carbonate alteration were examined, around the small Delbridge deposit and near the new Pinkos occurrence in the Cyprus Rhyolite. Between 1969 and 1971, the Delbridge deposit produced 370,000 t of ore grading 9.6% Zn, 0.61% Cu, 110 g/t Ag, and 2.1 g/t Au. Recent drilling at the new Pinkos occurrence intersected 2.64 m of massive to semi-massive sulfides grading 8.1% Zn and 18.2 g/t Ag. Alteration mapping has shown that the distribution of Fe-carbonates can be used to identify vertically extensive zones of hydrothermal upflow at both properties. At Delbridge, intense Fe-carbonate alteration in brecciated rhyolite defines a pipe-like upflow zone that extends vertically for up to 300 m within the stratigraphic footwall of the massive sulfides and 100 m into the hanging wall. The location of known massive sulfide mineralization coincides with the intersection of the alteration pipe and a favorable horizon marked by the occurrence of fine-grained volcaniclastic rocks. At Pinkos, a similar zone of Fe-carbonate alteration occurs in outcrops of coherent rhyolite. Fe-carbonate alteration is most intensely developed along polygonal cooling fractures in massive rhyolite and decreases in intensity towards the centers of the columns. Fe-carbonate stringers and locally abundant matrix carbonate occur in fragmental rocks at the stratigraphic top of the coherent rhyolite flows and are most intense at the location of sulfide-bearing outcrops that mark the known mineralized horizon. Whereas Fe-carbonate alteration defines the central part of the hydrothermal upflow zones at both properties, disseminated pyrite occurs at the margins and is widespread outside the main upflow zones. This may indicate that Fe-carbonate in the main upflow zones formed at the expense of earlier disseminated sulfides. Replacement of pyrite by synvolcanic Fe-carbonate alteration at Delbridge and Pinkos can probably be attributed to a relatively high concentration of dissolved CO2, possibly of magmatic origin, in the main-stage ore-forming fluids.

Full textAbstract:
L'exploration minière axée sur des cibles cachées en profondeur nécessite (i) des techniques efficaces qui sont applicables sur le terrain pour identifier les systèmes de formation de minerai à grande échelle et (ii) des éclaireurs pour pouvoir localiser le minerai à plus petite échelle. Avec le développement rapide des équipements portables ces dernières années, l'importance de l'analyse en temps quasi réel sur le terrain a augmenté en aidant à la prise de décision rapide avant les demandes de laboratoire. Des équipements individuels ont été largement utilisés dans l'exploration des ressources minérales pour réaliser des analyses spectroscopiques. Cependant, les données obtenues par plusieurs techniques sont rarement appliquées pour caractériser les "vecteurs" qui peuvent fournir des informations intéressantes sur les variations dans la lithologie, la géochimie, la minéralogie et la chimie des minéraux. La combinaison des données spectrales obtenues à partir de divers instruments portables est encore plus rare. L’objectif principal de ce travail de thèse est de concilier les données géochimiques acquises à partir de différents appareils spectroscopiques portables afin de déterminer la meilleure information géochimique de chaque technique appliquée en combinant les informations minéralogiques et élémentaires. Dans cette étude, les données élémentaires et minéralogiques sont fournies par six techniques portables: (i) des analyses élémentaires telles que XRF et LIBS pour les éléments majeurs, les traces et les éléments légers, et (ii) des analyses minéralogiques telles que Raman, VNIR-SWIR, MIR et XRD pour contraindre les minéraux de formation de roche, de minerai et d'altération. L'objectif final de cette étude est d'identifier les vecteurs vers le minerai en appliquant les données multispectrales réconciliées, ceux qui sont obtenues à partir de l'échantillon "réel" dans le gisement de sulfure massif volcanogène (SMV) d'Elvira. Pour cela, des procédures étape par étape ont été réalisées : (i) comprendre la méthodologie de chaque technique, (ii) établir une base de données spectrales composée de minéraux naturellement monominéraux, (iii) concevoir d'un arbre de décision pour classer par minéral ou classes de minéraux en fonction des bandes diagnostiques, et identifier et quantifier des minéraux (iv) carbonate et (v) phyllosilicate (i.e., chlorites trioctaédriques et micas dioctaédriques), qui sont des indicateurs du gisement cible. Plusieurs limites de la spectroscopie portable ont été confirmées en fonction de l'appareil lui-même et de l'environnement géologique du gisement d'Elvira. Néanmoins, la spectroscopie portable est efficace pour identifier la présence et les changements de composition de divers minéraux dans des échantillons de roches hétérogènes. Par conséquent, l'analyse spectroscopique sur place peut être l'un des outils de vectorisation pour déterminer l'implication de la minéralisation dans les explorations de minerais cachésMineral exploration focused on deeply concealed targets at depth requires effective techniques applicable in the field in order to identify ore-forming systems on a large scale and pathfinders to locate ore on a smaller scale. According to the rapid development of portable equipment in recent years, the importance of near real-time analysis in the field has been increasing by helping fast decision-making support before laboratory requests.Spectroscopic analysis using individual equipment has been widely used in the exploration of mineral resources, but it is rare to apply integrated data from several techniques to characterize “vectors”, which provide variations in lithology, geochemistry, mineralogy, and mineral chemistry. In addition, it is even rarer if the combination of spectral data is obtained from various portable instruments. Therefore, this study aims at reconciling geochemical data acquired from portable spectroscopic devices in order to determine the best geochemical information from each technique applied by combining the mineralogical and elemental information. Elemental and mineralogical data are provided in this study by six portable techniques: (i) elemental analyses such as XRF and LIBS for major, trace, and light elements, and (ii) mineralogical analyses such as Raman, VNIR-SWIR, MIR, and XRD to constrain rock-forming, ore, and alteration minerals.The final objective of this study is to identify vectors to the ore by applying the reconciled multi-spectral data obtained from the “real” sample in the Elvira volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) deposit. To achieve this, step-by-step procedures were carried out: (i) methodological understanding of each technique, (ii) establishment of a spectral database consisting of naturally monomineralic minerals, (iii) design of a decision tree to classify by mineral or mineral classes based on diagnostic bands, and mineral identification and quantification of (iv) carbonate and (v) phyllosilicate minerals (i.e., trioctahedral chlorites and dioctahedral micas), which are indicators of the target deposit.Several limitations of portable spectroscopy were confirmed based on the device itself and the geological environment in the Elvira deposit. Nevertheless, portable spectroscopy is effective in identifying the presence and compositional changes of various minerals from heterogeneous rock samples. Therefore, spectroscopic analysis on-site can be one of the vectoring tools to determine the implication for ore mineralization in hidden ore explorations

The West Ansil deposit was the first Cu discovery in 25 years in the Noranda Central Camp. It has a combined indicated and inferred resource of ~1.2 Mt. Grades for the indicated resource are 3.4% Cu, 0.4% Zn, 1.4 g/t Au and 9.2 g/t Ag. The bulk of the resource is located in three massive sulphide lenses (Upper, Middle and Lower) that are entirely within the Rusty Ridge Formation above the Lewis exhalite. The mineralization in all three ore lenses consists of massive pyrrhotite + chalcopyrite + magnetite. Semi-massive sphalerite is restricted to the upper and lower parts of the Middle lens. Massive magnetite occurs at the center of the Upper and Middle lenses, where it replaces massive pyrrhotite. A striking feature of West Ansil is the presence of abundant colloform and nodular pyrite (+marcasite) in the massive sulphides. Late-stage replacement of massive pyrrhotite by colloform pyrite and marcasite, occurs mostly along the upper and lower contacts of the lenses.
