Three-dimensional (3D) geological models are important representations of the results of regional geological surveys. However, the process of constructing 3D geological models from two-dimensional (2D) geological elements remains difficult and is not necessarily robust. This paper proposes a method of migrating from 2D elements to 3D models. First, the geological interfaces were constructed usi...

This paper evaluates heterogeneous information fusion using multi-task Gaussian processes in the context of geological resource modeling. Specifically, it empirically demonstrates that information integration across heterogeneous information sources leads to superior estimates of all the quantities being modeled, compared to modeling them individually. Multi-task Gaussian processes provide a po...

The paper presents a one-dimensional hydro-mechanical analysis of rainfall infiltration in a loose volcanic ash and the utilisation of a factor of safety for the implementation of an early-warning system. Three different rainy seasons with different rainfall patterns were analysed . The analysis aims to understand the influence of the antecedent rainfall on the wetting front, the pore-water pre...

As a consequence of recent developments in molecular phylogenomics, all extant orders of placental mammals have been grouped into 3 lineages: Afrotheria, Xenarthra, and Boreotheria, which originated in Africa, South America, and Laurasia, respectively. Despite this advancement, the order of divergence of these 3 lineages remains unresolved. Here, we performed extensive retroposon analysis with ...

As a provider of geological advice to industry, academia and the public, the British Geological Survey (BGS) has recognised the need to change the way it presents geoscientific information, resulting in the construction of attributed 3D geological models. The need to deliver 3D modelling solutions is of great importance in urban areas, where geological factors play a major role in supporting gr...

This paper uses simple hydro-economic optimization to investigate a wide range of regional water system management options for northern Baja California, Mexico. Hydro-economic optimization models, even with parsimonious model formulations, enable investigation of promising water management portfolios for supplying water to agricultural, environmental and urban users. CALVIN, a generalized hydro...

In the structure of the title compound, C12H12O3, the di-hydro-pyran ring is fused with the benzene ring. The di-hydro-pyran ring is in a half-chair conformation, with the ring O and methyl-ene C atoms positioned 1.367 (3) and 1.504 (4) Å, respectively, on either side of the mean plane formed by the other four atoms. The meth-oxy group is coplanar with the benzene ring to which it is connected ...

The present study was conducted in patients with cervix and ovarian carcinoma to evaluate the status of oxidative stress biomarkers as protein carbonyl and lipid hydro peroxides. Biomarkers of oxidative stress were measured as protein carbonyl (PC) and total lipid hydro peroxides (LOOH). Newly diagnosed women with carcinoma (n=100; 30-65 years of age) and agematched clinically healthy women (n=...
