  • Experimental blast studies were carried out in a limestone quarry to study the effects of blasting on structures. To have an in-depth understanding of the possible relation between parameters like vibrations, frequency and scale distance and ten trial blast were conducted. 29 monitoring stations were located in such a pattern to give a true representation of blast induced vibrations for the entire mining in this area. The vibrations were monitored in the vicinity of structures surrounding the quarry in the direction towards the village, road, railway line, office building, etc. Scale distances were determined to identify the maximum charge permissible to cause damage to structures.

  • We have extended the three-dimensional (3-D) resistivity imaging algorithm to cover the 3-D resistivity tomography problem, where resistivity data are acquired using electrodes installed in several boreholes as well as at the earth surface. The imaging algorithm consists of the 3-D finite element forward modeling and least-squares inversion scheme, where the ACB (Active Constraint Balancing) is adopted to enhance the resolving power of the inversion. Sensitivity analysis with numerical verifications shows that 3-D resistivity tomography is a very appealing method and can be used to get 3-D attitude of subsurface structures with very high-resolution. Moreover, we could accurately handle the topography effect, which could cause artifacts in the resistivity tomography. In the application of 3-D resistivity tomography to the real field data set acquired at the quarry mine, we could derive a very reasonable and accurate image of the subsurface.

  • Australia is the world's top gold, nickel, iron ore, lead, zinc and uranium, and is ranked in the top five in many other important minerals. Extension to existing resources will continue to support well-established local production. There are perceptions by some that Australia is a mature exploration destination where the easily won near-surface deposits were largely discovered many decades ago. In recent years, Australia faces increasing global competition for investment spending in all jurisdictions in which mineral exploration is encouraged. Many regional communities face the threat of losing their main economic driver as a number of long-term mines are reaching the end of their economic life. However, given the trend of increasing mineral demand due to the 4th industrial revolution, it is considered that Korea is also an opportunity to acquire global competitiveness of geoscience and mining technology by smart and digital mining, and by ICT-convergence technology R&D.

  • In proteomics research, the identification of differentially expressed proteins observed under specific conditions is one of key issues. There are several ways to detect the change of a specific protein's expression level such as statistical analysis and graphical visualization. However, it is quiet difficult to handle the spot information of an individual protein manually by these methods, because there are a considerable number of proteins in a tissue sample. In this paper, using database and data mining techniques, the application plan of OLAP data cube and Discovery-driven exploration is proposed. By using data cubes, it is possible to analyze the relationship between proteins and relevant clinical information as well as analyzing the differentially expressed proteins by disease. We propose the measure and exception indicators which are suitable to analyzing protein expression level changes are proposed. In addition, we proposed the reducing method of calculating InExp in Discovery-driven exploration. We also evaluate the utility and effectiveness of the data cube and Discovery-driven exploration in the lung cancer 2-DE gel image.

  • Donghae City - Ulleung Island Line (DC-UI Line) is a representative line for underwater and geoacoustic modeling in the middle western East Sea. In this line, an integrated model of P-wave velocity is proposed for a low-frequency range target (<200 Hz), based on high-resolution seismic profiles (2 - 7 kHz sonar and air-gun), shallow and deep cores (grab, piston, and Portable Remote Operated Drilling), and outcrop geology (Tertiary rocks and the basement on land). The basement comprises 3 geoacoustic layers of P-wave velocity ranging from 3750 to 5550 m/s. The overlying sediments consist of 7 layers of P-wave velocities ranging from 1500 to 1900 m/s. The bottom model shows that the structure is very irregular and the velocity is also variable with both vertical and lateral extension. In this area, seabed and underwater acousticians should consider that low-frequency acoustic modeling is very range-dependent and a detailed geoacoustic model is necessary for better modeling of acoustic propagation such as long-range surveillance of submarines and monitoring of currents.

  • Planarity geotechnical exploration missions were actively performed during the 1970s and there was a period of decline from the 1 990s to the 2000s because of budget. However, exploring space resources is essential to prepare for the depletion of Earth's resources in the future and explore resources abundant in space but scarce on Earth, such as rare earth and helium-3. Additionally, the development of space technology has become the driving force of future industry development. The competition among developed countries for exoplanet exploration has recently accelerated for the exploration and utilization of space resources. For these missions and resource exploration/mining, geotechnical exploration is required. There have been several missions to explore exoplanet ground, including the Moon, Mars, and asteroids. There are Apollo, LUNA, and Chang'E missions for exploration of the Moon. The Mars missions included Viking, Spirit/Opportunity, Phoenix, and Perseverance missions, and the asteroid missions included the Hayabusa missions. In this study, space planetary mineral resource exploration technologies are explained, and the future technological tasks of Korea are described.

  • In geophysics and geophysical exploration fields, we can use information about inclination and azimuth in various ways. These include borehole deviation logging for inversion process, real-time data acquisition system, geophysical monitoring system, and so on. This type of information is also necessarily used in the directional drilling of shale gas fields. We thus need to develop a subminiature, low-powered, multi-functional inclination and azimuth measurement system for geophysical exploration fields. In this paper, to develop real-time measurement system, we adopt the high performance low power Micro Control Unit (made with state-of-the-art Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor technology) and newly released Micro Electro Mechanical Systems Attitude Heading Reference System sensors. We present test results on the development of a multifunctional real-time inclination and azimuth measurement system. The developed system has an ultra-slim body so as to be installed in 42mm sonde. Also, this system allows us to acquire data in real-time and to easily expand its application by synchronizing with a depth encoder or Differential Global Positioning System.

  • In this paper, we introduce a web-based system that leverages the capabilities of the ρ(rho)-algorithm, which is a Structure Information Control Net (SICN)-oriented process mining algorithm, with open-source platforms, including Django, Graphviz, and Cytoscape, to facilitate the rediscovery and visualization of business process models. Our approach involves discovering SICN-oriented process models from process instances from the IEEE XESformatted process enactment event logs dataset. This discovering process is facilitated by the ρ-algorithm, and visualization output is transformed into either a JSON or DOT formatted file, catering to the compatibility requirements of Cytoscape or Graphviz, respectively. The proposed system utilizes the robust Django platform, which enables the creation of a userfriendly web interface. This interface offers a clear, concise, modern, and interactive visualization of the rediscovered business processes, fostering an intuitive exploration experience. The experiment conducted on our proposed web-based process discovery system demonstrates its ability and efficiency showing that the system is a valuable tool for discovering business process models from process event logs. Its development not only contributes to the advancement of process mining but also serves as an educational resource. Readers, students, and practitioners interested in process mining can leverage this system as a completely free process miner to gain hands-on experience in rediscovering and visualizing process models from event logs.

  • Mining activities focus on the production of mineral resources for energy generation and raw material requirements worldwide and it is a known fact that shallow reserves become scarce. For this reason, exploration of new resources proceeds consistently to meet the increasing energy and raw material demand of industrial activities. Rock mechanics has a vital role in underground mining and surface mining. Devices and instruments used in laboratory testing to determine rock mechanics related parameters might have limited sensing capability of the failure behavior. However, methodologies such as, thermal cameras, digital speckle correlation method and acoustic emission might enable to investigate the initial crack formation in detail. Regarding this, in this study, thermographic analysis was performed to analyze the failure behaviors of different types of rock specimens during uniaxial compressive strength experiments. The energy dissipation profiles of different types of rocks were characterized by the temperature difference recorded with an infrared thermal camera during experiments. The temperature increase at the failure moment was detected as 4.45℃ and 9.58℃ for andesite and gneiss-schist specimens, respectively. Higher temperature increase was observed with respect to higher UCS value. Besides, a temperature decreases of about 0.5-0.6℃ was recorded during the experiments of the marble specimens. The temperature change on the specimen is related to release of radiation energy. As a result of the porosity tests, it was observed that increase in the porosity rate from 5.65% to 20.97% can be associated to higher radiation energy released, from 12.68 kJ to 297.18 kJ.
