The evaluation can be based on non-dimensional analytical functions related to loss variation within a specified “recovery period”. The path to recovery usually depends on available resources and may take different shapes which can be estimated by proper recovery functions. The loss functions have uncertainties due to the nature of the earthquake, structural behavior and the description of functionality limits. Therefore losses can be described as functions of fragility of systems’ components. These fragility functions can be determined through the use of multidimensional performance limit thresholds, which allow consideration of simultaneously different mechanicalphysical variables. A procedure which defines resilience as function of losses and time recovery based on multidimensional fragility system is formulated and exemplified for a typical California hospital building considering direct and indirect losses in its physical system and in the population served by the system.","PeriodicalId":66051,"journal":{"name":"地质资源与工程:英文版","volume":"40 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67580413","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By use of Vector Error Correction Model and Granger Causality Test on the data availablefor the period ranging from 1990 to 2016. Assessment is done against the different sectors of the economy to ascertain any correlation/causality between electricity tariff, electricity consumption/electricity generation and the various GDP components/sectors. The results show that reduced energy tariffs results to economic growth in the Construction sector and the Manufacturing sector specifically-bundled up to represent the goods industry and geothermal being the comparative least cost of energy source plays a significant role in increasing electricity consumption resulting from reduced costs and consequently economic growth through the Construction sector, Manufacturing sector, Wholesale and Retail-Goods Industry. Noting the findings, the government should undertake expansion focusing the least cost energy source; consider price discrimination for the low income and the manufacturing industries in order to accelerate electricity access from the current estimate of 48% of the population in both urban and rural areas so as to increase electricity consumption.","PeriodicalId":66051,"journal":{"name":"地质资源与工程:英文版","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67580486","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

All units contain a variety of ore mineral deposit types and their surrounding zones of hydrothermal alteration. Continued geological and metallogenic researches in the past 30 years have led to important new information regarding the evolution of this region. Three main stages of magmatic activity are now clearly distinguished. Oldest magmatism comprises Early Jurassic events, related to extensional tectonism, which ranged from rhyolitic, through dacitic and andesitic, and to basaltic magma. Additional extensional processes (in Bajocian) were characterized by intrusion of a gabbro and diorite dike system into recently deposited late Early Jurassic-early Middle Jurassic formations. The final magmatic event was associated with Middle Jurassic folding and uplift during which multiphase diorite plutons were emplaced. Related intense hydrothermal activity was responsible for important polymetallic mineralization, with more than 100 recognized outcropping ore occurrences. A detailed study of 11 of these ore occurrences has indicated anomalous concentrations of gold, thorium, yttrium, cobalt, cadmium, and bismuth. In addition, several new and potentially significant ore mineral occurrences were discovered.","PeriodicalId":66051,"journal":{"name":"地质资源与工程:英文版","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67580245","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Also, a methodology to calculate the earth pressure for intermediate states between at rest condition and the active pressure is presented. In addition, a methodology to calculate the earth pressure for intermediate states between at rest condition and the passive pressure is presented.

The survey was carried out around the designated trees in 6 meters × 6 meters grids. Base points for X (S-N) and Y (W-E) axis were set in corners of each grid. Parallel GPR traverses were conducted within each study area, at intervals of 0.20 m. The maps of the research areas show existing trees and stumps within the GPR sections, with ±0.1 m error. GPR data analysis was carried out in 2D and 3D systems. Major findings from the GPR survey concluded that the firs (Abies alba), have a “vertical” root system type (with the roots dominant at depths of 0.2-0.8 meters), concentrically away from the tree trunk at a distance of about 1 m to about 2 m, and the spruces (Picea abies), have a “cloud” root system type (at a depth of 10-100 cm), with a few clear, thicker roots extending from the trunk.","PeriodicalId":66051,"journal":{"name":"地质资源与工程:英文版","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67580422","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The classification has not considered coal quality factors such as ash content, sulphur content, caloric value. The development of international classification standards has required a geostatistical analysis for the estimation and classification of coal resources. The purpose of this research is to apply geostatistics method to determine optimal drill hole distance, and to analyze classification of coal resource based on data of coal quality and quantity. Based on global estimation variance (GEV) approach from geostatistics, relative error value was obtained. Drill hole spacing analysis (DHSA) results in optimal drill hole spacing on each coal seam for the coal resources classification. Estimation using kriging block results in the value of kriging relative error. Coal resources classification was based on relative error of 0-10% for measured resources, 10-20% for indicated resources and > 20% for inferred resources. Based on a case study in a coal field consisting of three coal seams, the geostatistical approach produced the smallest distance on seam-3 as the optimal borehole range in the research area. This classification yields a greater area of influence than the SNI standard on simple geological complexity.","PeriodicalId":66051,"journal":{"name":"地质资源与工程:英文版","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45676005","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
