This area has stratigraphy of Precambrian to Quaternary rocks and is located in the Central Iran zone. According to the presence of signs of gold mineralization in this area, it is necessary to identify important mineral areas in this area. Therefore, finding information is necessary about the relationship and monitoring the elements of gold, arsenic, and antimony relative to each other in this area to determine the extent of geochemical halos and to estimate the grade. Therefore, a well-known and useful K-means method is used for monitoring the elements in the present study, this is a clustering method based on minimizing the total Euclidean distances of each sample from the center of the classes which are assigned to them. In this research, the clustering quality function and the utility rate of the sample have been used in the desired cluster (S(i)) to determine the optimum number of clusters. Finally, with regard to the cluster centers and the results, the equations were used to predict the amount of the gold element based on four parameters of arsenic and antimony grade, length and width of sampling points.展开更多

This paper introduces an approach for estimating Au ore grades within a mining deposit using k-means and principal component analysis(PCA). The Khooni district was selected as the case study. This region is interesting geologically, in part because it is considered an important gold source. The study area is situated approximately 60km northeast of the Anarak city and 270km from Esfahan. Through PCA, we sought to understand the relationship between the elements of gold,arsenic, and antimony. Then, by clustering, the behavior of these elements was investigated. One of the most famous and efficient clustering methods is k-means, based on minimizing the total Euclidean distance from each class center. Using the combined results and characteristics of the cluster centers, the gold grade was determined with a correlation coefficient of 91%. An estimation equation for gold grade was derived based on four parameters: arsenic and antimony content, and length and width of the sampling points. The results demonstrate that this approach is faster and more accurate than existing methodologies for ore grade estimation.展开更多

However, safeguarding these services poses a significant challenge, as the need for robust security measures becomes increasingly imperative. This paper presented an innovative method based on differential analyses to detect abrupt changes in network traffic characteristics. The core concept revolves around identifying abrupt alterations in certain characteristics such as input/output volume, the number of TCP connections, or DNS queries—within the analyzed traffic. Initially, the traffic is segmented into distinct sequences of slices, followed by quantifying specific characteristics for each slice. Subsequently, the distance between successive values of these measured characteristics is computed and clustered to detect sudden changes. To accomplish its objectives, the approach combined several techniques, including propositional logic, distance metrics (e.g., Kullback-Leibler Divergence), and clustering algorithms (e.g., K-means). When applied to two distinct datasets, the proposed approach demonstrates exceptional performance, achieving detection rates of up to 100%.展开更多

The catalytic activity of trimethyl phosphite modified HZSM-5 zeolite and un-modified HZSM-5zeolite treated with 100% steam at 673,773,873,973 and 1073K, respectively, were investigated using heptanecracking as a prob...The catalytic activity of trimethyl phosphite modified HZSM-5 zeolite and un-modified HZSM-5zeolite treated with 100% steam at 673,773,873,973 and 1073K, respectively, were investigated using heptanecracking as a probe reaction. The results showed that the heptane conversion of both trimethyl phosphitetreated samples and un-phosphated samples decreased with an increase in treating temperature, but trimethylphosphite modified samples showed higher activity in comparison with the un-modified samples, which weresteam-treated at a higher temperature. The results were firstly elucidated by the model cluster method andcomputational quantum chemistry method. Full optimization and frequency analysis of all cluster model havebeen carried out using the Gaussian 94 software-package with the PM 3 semi-empirical method performed onsmall cluster models. The computational results showed that the dealumination of trimethyl phosphite modi-fied zeolite model cluster was more difficult than that of un-modified zeolite model cluster when they weretreated with steam while investigating the heat of reaction.展开更多
