Abstract. A huge amount of legacy drilling data is available in geological survey but cannot be used directly as they are compiled and recorded in an unstructured textual form and using different formats depending on the database structure, company, logging geologist, investigation method, investigated materials and/or drilling campaign. They are subjective and plagued by uncertainty as they are likely to have been conducted by tens to hundreds of geologists, all of whom would have their own personal biases. dh2loop (https://github.com/Loop3D/dh2loop, last access: 30 September 2021​​​​​​​) is an open-source Python library for extracting and standardizing geologic drill hole data and exporting them into readily importable interval tables (collar, survey, lithology). In this contribution, we extract, process and classify lithological logs from the Geological Survey of Western Australia (GSWA) Mineral Exploration Reports (WAMEX) database in the Yalgoo–Singleton greenstone belt (YSGB) region. The contribution also addresses the subjective nature and variability of the nomenclature of lithological descriptions within and across different drilling campaigns by using thesauri and fuzzy string matching. For this study case, 86 % of the extracted lithology data is successfully matched to lithologies in the thesauri. Since this process can be tedious, we attempted to test the string matching with the comments, which resulted in a matching rate of 16 % (7870 successfully matched records out of 47 823 records). The standardized lithological data are then classified into multi-level groupings that can be used to systematically upscale and downscale drill hole data inputs for multiscale 3D geological modelling. dh2loop formats legacy data bridging the gap between utilization and maximization of legacy drill hole data and drill hole analysis functionalities available in existing Python libraries (lasio, welly, striplog).

Abstract. Exploration and mining companies rely on geological drill core logs to target and obtain initial information on geology of the area to build models for prospectivity mapping or mine planning. A huge amount of legacy drilling data is available in geological survey but cannot be used directly as it is compiled and recorded in an unstructured textural form and using different formats depending on the database structure, company, logging geologist, investigation method, investigated materials and/or drilling campaign. It is subjective and plagued with uncertainty as it is likely to have been conducted by tens to hundreds geologists, all of whom would have their own personal biases. However, this is valuable information that adds value to geoscientific data for research and exploration, specifically in efficiently targeting sustainable new discoveries and providing better shallow subsurface constraints for 3D geological models. dh2loop (https://github.com/Loop3D/dh2loop) is an open-source python library that provides the functionality to extract and standardize geologic drill hole data and export it into readily importable interval tables (collar, survey, lithology). In this contribution, we extract, process and classify lithological logs from the Geological Survey of Western Australia Mineral Exploration Reports Database in the Yalgoo-Singleton Greenstone Belt (YSGB) region. For this study case, the extraction rate for collar, survey and lithology data is respectively 93 %, 865 and 34 %. It also addresses the subjective nature and variability of nomenclature of lithological descriptions within and across different drilling campaigns by using thesauri and fuzzy string matching. 86% of the extracted lithology data is successfully matched to lithologies in the thesauri. Since this process can be tedious, we attempted to test the string matching with the comments, which resulted to a matching rate of 16 % (7,870 successfully matched records out of 47,823 records). The standardized lithological data is then classified into multi-level groupings that can be used to systematically upscale and downscale drill hole data inputs for multiscale 3D geological modelling. dh2loop formats legacy data bridging the gap between utilization and maximization of legacy drill hole data and drill hole analysis functionalities available in existing python libraries (lasio, welly, striplog).

Geology of Greenland Survey Bulletin, 183, 39-45. https://doi.org/10.34194/ggub.v183.5203 _______________ The Upernavik 98 project is a one-year project aimed at the acquisition of information on mineral occurrences and potential in North-West Greenland between Upernavik and Kap Seddon, i.e. from 72°30′ to 75°30′N (Fig. 1A). A similar project, Karrat 97, was carried out in 1997 in the Uummannaq region 70°30′–72°30′N (Steenfelt et al. 1998a). Both are joint projects between the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) and the Bureau of Minerals and Petroleum (BMP), Government of Greenland, and wholly funded by the latter. The main purpose of the projects is to attract the interest of the mining industry. The field work comprised systematic drainage sampling, reconnaissance mineral exploration and spectroradiometric measurements of rock surfaces.

High Cooling Rates

Additive manufacturing processes offer high geometric flexibility and allow the use of new alloy concepts due to high cooling rates. For each new material, parameter studies have to be performed to find process parameters that minimize microstructural defects such as pores or cracks. In this paper, we present a system developed in Python for accelerated image analysis of optical microscopy images. Batch processing can be used to quickly analyze large image sets with respect to pore size distribution, defect type, contribution of defect type to total porosity, and shape accuracy of printed samples. The open-source software is independent of the microscope used and is freely available for use. This framework allows us to perform such an analysis on a circular area with a diameter of 5 mm within 10 s, allowing detailed process maps to be obtained for new materials within minutes after preparation.

In the framework of European project eENVplus (hhtp://www.eenvplus.eu) the Geological Survey of Italy and Geological Survey of Slovenia in collaboration with some technical partners developed a pilot to perform several geohazard analyses in the cross-border area. Several web processing services to perform hazard probability map have been developed using open-source software and a javaScript client widget based on Cesium1.11 to manage the pilot has been designed as well. The final data have been prepared in INSPIRE compliance format to be in line with European legislation and directive and data are provided with an open licence.

AbstractTranscription Factors (TFs) are proteins that control the flow of genetic information by regulating cellular gene expression. Here we describe PredicTF, a first platform supporting the prediction and classification of novel bacterial TF in complex microbial communities. We evaluated PredicTF using a two-step approach. First, we tested PredictTF’s ability to predict TFs for the genome of an environmental isolate. In the second evaluation step, PredicTF was used to predict TFs in a metagenome and 11 metatranscriptomes recovered from a community performing anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) in a bioreactor. PredicTF is open source pipeline available at https://github.com/mdsufz/PredicTF.

Broad Overview

Artifacts of the software development process, such as source code or emails between developers, are a frequent object of study in empirical software engineering literature. One of the hallmarks of free, libre, and open source software (FLOSS) projects is that the artifacts of the development process are publicly-accessible and therefore easily collected and studied. Thus, there is a long history in the FLOSS research community of using these artifacts to gain understanding about the phenomenon of open source software, which could then be compared to studies of software engineering more generally. This paper looks specifically at how the FLOSS research community has used email artifacts from free and open source projects. It provides a classification of the relevant literature using a publicly-available online repository of papers about FLOSS development using email. The outcome of this paper is to provide a broad overview for the software engineering and FLOSS research communities of how other researchers have used FLOSS email message artifacts in their work.
