Space-time interaction amongst clusters of mining induced seismicity

Elementary cluster analysis of induced seismicity in a South African gold mine has shown that there is a clear interaction amongst the clusters; and that the level of the interaction is a function of the distance. The clusering algorithm used is an adaptation of the single-link cluster analysis which considers both three-dimensional space and time. A high level of interaction between the clusters is demonstrated from the cross-correlation analysis of seismic activity rates and radiated energy. A distinct decrease in the value of correlation coefficients was detectable as distance increased. This was somewhat surprising, considering the simplicity of the technique used. Since no attempt is made to study the physical mechanisms of interaction, these results are very preliminary, but interesting from an observational point of view.     

Fast Nearest Neighbor Classification Methods for Multispectral Imagery

Nearest neighbor classifiers have not been widely used by remote sensing practitioners. The lack of acceptance of these classifiers may be partially due to their notoriously slow speed of execution which makes them impractical for the classification of mega-pixel images. However, training data reduction, distance measure optimization, and neighbor searching algorithms based on the modified k-d tree can speed nearest neighbor classification substantially.     

Multifractal modeling and spatial point processes

The multifractal model can be applied to spatial point processes. It provides new, approximately power-law type, expressions for their second-order intensity and K (r) functions. The box-counting and cluster dimensions are different but mutually interrelated according to multifractal theory. This approach is used to describe the underlying spatial structure of gold mineral occurrences in the Iskut River area, northwestern British Columbia. The box-counting and cluster dimensions for the example are estimated to be 1.335±0.077 and 1.219±0.037, respectively. The relatively strong clustering of the gold deposits is reflected by the fact that both values are considerably less than the corresponding Euclidean dimension (=2).

SEM-EDX Characterisation of Tropospheric Aerosols in the Negev Desert (Israel)

Individual aerosol particles collected in the Negev desert in Israel during a summer and winter campaign in 1996–1997 were analysed by scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray analysis. Hierarchical cluster analysis was performed to interpret the data on the basis of particle diameter and composition. Eleven particle classes (groups) provided clues on sources and/or particle formation. The summer samples were enriched in sulphates and mineral dusts; the winter samples contained more sea salts, aged sea salts, and industrial particles. The fine size fraction below 1 m diameter was enriched in secondary particles and showed evidence of atmospheric processing. The secondary sulphate particles were mainly attributed to long-range transport. A regional conversion from calcite to calcium sulphate occurred during summer. Industrial particles originating from local pollution appeared during winter.     

环境同位素和模糊聚类法研究堤坝渗漏

利用环境同位素方法对高水河堤防几个典型段进行了渗漏分析,查明了其地下水的渗漏来源,结果表明,江都船厂段T1#孔、小菜谭段T23#孔中的地下水为河水补给来源,T5#孔附近的黑鱼塘水为当地降雨补给,万寿宫段T7#孔中的地下水为河水和当地降雨的混合。由于环境同位素的分析方法只能定性的说明问题,笔者尝试应用模糊聚类方法,选取环境同位素和水化学值作为指标特征值,并赋与不同的权重,进行模糊聚类分析,分析结果与环境同位素、水化学分析结论一致。
