The Sixtymile gold district, Yukon, Canada has been mined for placer since the late 19th century. However, increasing demand prompted exploration of new lode deposits. Previous studies in nearby Klondike district have shown correlation between deposits and bedrock occurrences. Poor exposure a complex deformation history, however, make it difficult to determine structural controls on mineralizat...

Winding function method (WFM) provides a detailed and rather simple analytical modeling and simulation technique for analyzing performance of faulty squirrel-cage induction motors (SCIMs). Such analysis is mainly applicable for designing on-line fault diagnosis techniques. In this paper, WFM is extended to include variable degree of magnetic saturation by applying an appropriate air gap functio...

This paper describes recent implementations and proposes new developments related to automated fault and disturbance analysis. An advanced expert system for automated analysis of faults and related operations of protective relays using DFR data is described first. Further improvements in the fault location using synchronized sampling are discussed next. Possibility for DFR modifications to allo...

OBJECTIVE To elucidate the associations between polypharmacy and age- and gender-specific risks of admission for fall-related fractures. DESIGN Nested case-control study. SETTING This analysis was randomly selected from all elderly beneficiaries in 2007-2008, and represents some 30% of the whole older insurers using Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database. PARTICIPANTS We ide...

OBJECTIVES This study was aimed to assess the impacts of delay treatment of mandibular fracture and its complications. In addition risk variables related such as time to repair, fracture types, substance abuse, causes, surgical management, muddling or complications and duration of clinic stay were also evaluated. MATERIALS AND METHODS The data of patients attending the Newcastle General Hospi...

Trapezoid bone fracture is the least common fracture owing to the fact that it is strictly bounded to scaphoid, capitate and the base of the second metacarpal. Isolated fractures are rarely seen and usually related to the high energy trauma. It is conservatively treated without dislocation. Triquetrum fractures are the second least common fractures among carpal bones. The body fractures are usu...

Quantifying fault damage zones provides a window into stress distribution and rheology around faults. International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Expeditions 372/375 drilled an active thrust splay within the Hikurangi subduction margin. The fault, which is hosted in Pleistocene clastic sediments, surrounded by brittle fractures faults as well ductile deformation features. We find that fracture...

this paper illustrates the application of s-transform and continuous wavelet transform (cwt) for fault location in combined overhead line and cable distribution networks. the high frequency transient signals originated by faults are analyzed using s-transform and cwt. the s-transform is found to be applicable in transient based fault location in distribution networks. this technique is an expan...

A number of wells in the Sichuan Basin China have tested industrial gas flow pressure arising from shale Da’anzhai section Ziliujing Formation, revealing good exploration potential. Microfractures shales affect enrichment and preservation are important storage spaces seepage channels for gas. In order to increase productivity reduce risks associated with exploration, types, connectivity, propor...
