Absence of test oracles is the grand challenge for testing complex scientific software. Metamorphic testing is the novel technique for developing test oracles on metamorphic relations. Although it is easy to find metamorphic relations based on general guidelines and domain knowledge, the ones that can adequately test the software are difficult to be developed. This paper introduces a machine le...

Abstract In any underground excavation project, choosing the best technique and careful preliminary assessments of wear costs production rates are crucial aspects to consider. The rate tools, as well frequency tool replacement, deeply affect duration cost‐effectiveness whole project. Among rock‐specific characteristics affecting wear, Cerchar abrasivity index (CAI) uniaxial compressive strength...

35 36 The rock type of hard-substrata marine habitats can affect numerous benthic invertebrates, but 37 little is known of the effects on molluscan assemblages, for example, the chitons often found 38 under intertidal boulders. We compared chiton assemblage composition, abundance, species 39 richness, and patterns of frequency distribution in ten boulder-fields containing either hard 40 metamor...

a total of 40 samples from carbonates and 8 samples from silicate rocks were analyzed from the sangan iron skarn deposit to examine behavior of the oxygen and carbon isotopes. the higher values of ?18o are from metamorphic calcite and dolomite and lower ones are from granitic rocks. although the ?18o and ?13c values of calcite and dolomite in marble yield the highest values in the sangan deposi...

the study area is a part of the sanandaj-sirjan metamorphic belt comprising low- to high-graderegional and contact metamorphic rocks that are intruded by various plutonic bodies. garnet crystals areabundant in pelitic schists, amphibole schists, migmatites, hornfelses and aplites. they are mostly almandinerich(xalm>60) pyralspite garnets and show dodecahedron, trapezohedron and mixed (dodecahed...
