Radio- and controlled-source-tensor magnetotelluric (RMT and CSTMT) methods are used to target hydrothermal veins of copper mineralization. The data were acquired along six east-west- and three north-south-trending profiles, covering an area of about [Formula: see text]. The tensor RMT data were collected in the [Formula: see text] frequency band. A double horizontal magnetic dipole transmitter in the [Formula: see text] frequency range allowed us to constrain the deeper parts of the resistivity models better. To obtain optimum field parameters, ground magnetic profiling was conducted prior to the RMT and CSTMT surveys. Although the study area (in Iran) is remote, a number of radio transmitters with acceptable signal-to-noise ratio were utilized. The 2D inversion of RMT data led to unstable resistivity models with large datamisfits. Thus, the RMT data were used to complement and analyze the near-surface resistivity anomalies observed in the 2D CSTMT models. Analyses of strike and dimensionality from the CSTMT data suggests that the low-resistivity structures are mainly three dimensional; therefore, 2D inversion of determinant data is chosen. Independent 2D inversion models of the determinant CSTMT data along crossing profiles are in good agreement. Known copper mineralization is imaged well in the CSTMT models. The thinning of the conductive overburden correlates very well with magnetic highs, indicating the bedrock is resistive and magnetic. In this sense, the magnetic and electromagnetic fields complement each other. Analysis of the 2D resistivity models indicates the volcanic rock deepens at the center of the study area. This zone is associated with a magnetic low and therefore is recommended for detailed exploration work.

Modern polishing, precision machining and microindentation techniques allow the processing and mechanical characterization of ceramics at nanometric scales and within entirely plastic deformation regimes. The mechanical response of most ceramics to such highly constrained contact is not predictable from macroscopic properties and the microstructural deformation patterns have proven difficult to characterize by the application of any individual technique. In this study, TEM techniques of contrast analysis and CBED are combined with stereographic analysis to construct a three-dimensional microstructure deformation map of the surface of a perfectly plastic microindentation on macroscopically brittle aluminum nitride.The bright field image in Figure 1 shows a lg Vickers microindentation contained within a single AlN grain far from any boundaries. High densities of dislocations are evident, particularly near facet edges but are not individually resolvable. The prominent bend contours also indicate the severity of plastic deformation. Figure 2 is a selected area diffraction pattern covering the entire indentation area.

Structural geological models are widely used to represent relevant geological interfaces and property distributions in the subsurface. Considering the inherent uncertainty of these models, the non-uniqueness of geophysical inverse problems, and the growing availability of data, there is a need for methods that integrate different types of data consistently and consider the uncertainties quantitatively. Probabilistic inference provides a suitable tool for this purpose. Using a Bayesian framework, geological modeling can be considered as an integral part of the inversion and thereby naturally constrain geophysical inversion procedures. This integration prevents geologically unrealistic results and provides the opportunity to include geological and geophysical information in the inversion. This information can be from different sources and is added to the framework through likelihood functions. We applied this methodology to the structurally complex Kevitsa deposit in Finland. We started with an interpretation-based 3D geological model and defined the uncertainties in our geological model through probability density functions. Airborne magnetic data and geological interpretations of borehole data were used to define geophysical and geological likelihoods, respectively. The geophysical data were linked to the uncertain structural parameters through the rock properties. The result of the inverse problem was an ensemble of realized models. These structural models and their uncertainties are visualized using information entropy, which allows for quantitative analysis. Our results show that with our methodology, we can use well-defined likelihood functions to add meaningful information to our initial model without requiring a computationally-heavy full grid inversion, discrepancies between model and data are spotted more easily, and the complementary strength of different types of data can be integrated into one framework.

AbstractThe present essay investigates the potential of generative representation applied to the study of relief perspective architectures realized in Italy between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. In arts, and architecture in particular, relief perspective is a three-dimensional structure able to create the illusion of great depths in small spaces. A method of investigation applied to the case study of the Avila Chapel in Santa Maria in Trastevere in Rome (Antonio Gherardi 1678) is proposed. The research methodology can be extended to other cases and is based on the use of a Relief Perspective Camera, which can create both a linear perspective and a relief perspective. Experimenting mechanically and automatically the perspective transformations from the affine space to the illusory space and vice versa has allowed us to see the case study in a different light.
