This paper presents the neural exploration with feature-based visual odometry and tracking-failure-reduction policy(Ne OR), a framework for embodied visual exploration that possesses the efficient exploration capabilities of deep reinforcement learning(DRL)-based exploration policies and leverages feature-based visual odometry(VO) for more accurate mapping and positioning results.

The map was constructed from an aeromagnetic image, and the geology was deduced from old geological maps. The procedure involved extracting the magnetic fabric and deducing the deformation gradients, which led to the identification of shear zones. Analysis and interpretation of the structural geometry of the obtained structural pattern led us to target areas of interference between structures or geology-structures interplays, which are conducive to the deposition of metallic elements. The subsequent overlay of known gold prospects and deposits documented in the region revealed the validity of the predefined prospects. This result reinforces the applicability of the methodology as a first-order regional approach to mineral exploration.展开更多

文摘The Late Yanshanian granite belt in the Yidun Island Arc of western Sichuan constitutes a critical rare metal metallogenic zone along the eastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau,yet its deep-seated resource distribution has remained poorly understood.Focusing on the northern contact zone of Hagala rock mass,this study innovatively integrates geological mapping,high-power induced polarization(IP)sounding(AB/2=1500m,MN=20m),and 3D modeling to systematically constrain the spatial architecture and resource potential of deep-seated ore bodies.Key findings include:(1)Surface discovery of 12 NW-trending pegmatitetype Nb-Ta-Li-Be veins,with the No.3 principal vein exhibiting maximum dimensions(850m length×5-15m width)and average grades of 0.031%Ta_(2)O_(5)and 0.017%Nb_(2)O_(5)-significantly exceeding industrial thresholds(0.012%),while Li_(2)O(0.55%)and Rb_(2)O(0.24%)reach cutoff grades;(2)IP sounding reveals spatial correlation between deep high-resistivity anomalies(4,684Ω·m)and low polarization rates(1.28%),with 3D inversion demonstrating NE-dipping extensions exceeding 800m depth,establishing a geometrically constrained mineralization model of 2.28 million m^(3)volume;(3)Resource estimates for the No.3 vein yield 35,000 tonnes Li_(2)O and 15,000 tonnes Rb_(2)O,with 1,981 tonnes Ta_(2)O_(5)and 1,086 tonnes Nb_(2)O_(5)metal content,confirming large-scale rare metal deposit potential.The developed geology-geophysics collaborative exploration framework establishes a paradigm for rare metal prospecting in collisional orogenic belts.

文摘In the realm of nonlinear integrable systems,the presence of decompositions facilitates the establishment of linear superposition solutions and the derivation of novel coupled systems exhibiting nonlinear integrability.By focusing on single-component decompositions within the potential BKP hierarchy,it has been observed that specific linear superpositions of decomposition solutions remain consistent with the underlying equations.Moreover,through the implementation of multi-component decompositions within the potential BKP hierarchy,successful endeavors have been undertaken to formulate linear superposition solutions and novel coupled Kd V-type systems that resist decoupling via alterations in dependent variables.

文摘Multi-component transition group metal borides(MMB_(2))have become a research hotspot due to their new composition design concepts and superior properties compared with conventional ceramics.Most of the current methods,however,are complicated and time-consuming,the mass production remains a chal-lenge.Herein,we proposed a new high-efficiency strategy for synthesis of MMB_(2)using molten aluminum as the medium for the first time.The prepared Al-containing multi-component borides(TiZrHfNbTa)B_(2)microcrystals had a homogeneous composition with a hexagonal AlB_(2)structure and ultra-high hardness value of∼35.3 GPa,which was much higher than data reported in the literature and the rule of mix-ture estimations.Furthermore,combined with the First-principles calculation results,we found that the Poisson’s ratio(v)values exhibit a clearly ascending trend from 0.17 at VEC=3.5 to 0.18 at VEC=3.4,then to 0.201 at VEC=3.2 with the increasing of Al content.This indicates that the intrinsic toughness of multi-component boride microcrystals is obviously enhanced by the trace-doped Al elements.Besides,the fabricated Al-containing multi-component boride microcrystals have superior oxidation activation en-ergy and structural stability.The enhanced oxidation resistance is mainly attributed to the formation of a protective Al2 O3 oxide layer and the lattice distortion,both of which lead to sluggish diffusion of O_(2).These findings propose a new unexplored avenue for the fabrication of MMB_(2)materials with supe-rior comprehensive performance including ultra-hardness and intrinsically improved thermo-mechanical properties.
文摘China’s energy resource endowment is characterized by being“poor in oil,scarce in gas,and rich in coal”,a fundamental national condition that determines the uniqueness of China’s energy strategy.At the beginning of the 20th century,foreign experts and scholars generally concluded and claimed that China was an“oil-poor country”lacking the geological conditions for hydrocarbon formation.

文摘The advancement of intelligent mining in open-pit operations has imposed higher demands on geological transparency,aiming to provide a robust foundation for intelligent drilling and charging.In this study,a linear array of 120 nodal seismometers was deployed along the surfaces of the C8 and C9 platforms at Fenghuang Mountain to investigate cavities within the rock mass and prevent improper intelligent charging.The seismometers were 1 m apart along measurement lines,with a 2-m spacing between lines,and the monitoring time for each line was set at 2 h.This deployment was paired with spatial autocorrelation and station autocorrelation to analyze ambient noise seismic data and image the velocity and structure within the rock mass.The results demonstrate that the locations and sizes of cavities or loose structures can be accurately identified at the prepared excavation site.Compared with traditional geological exploration methods for openpit mines,the approach in this study off ers higher accuracy,greater efficiency,reduced labor intensity,and insensitivity to water conditions.Ambient noise seismic imaging for detecting adverse geological conditions in open-pit mines provides critical insights and references for intelligent mining advancements.
