Fluid flow zones along fracture corridors inferred from collapse dolines in carbonates of the Irecê Basin, Brazil

AbstractDolines are a widespread karst landform, and understanding their genesis can provide critical information about the evolution of subsurface karstification and groundwater flow zones. Swarms of collapse dolines characterise the karst in the southern portion of the Irecê Basin, northeastern Brazil. The basin comprises Neoproterozoic carbonate rocks approximately 100 m thick, bounded by less soluble older quartzites. The distribution of dolines is not uniform, as they cluster along NW‐SE axes and are aligned with cave systems and permeability (fracture) corridors mostly associated with the Almas and Água de Rega ephemeral rivers. Detailed analysis of sectors with a higher density of dolines was performed using LiDAR and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) imagery at two different scales to obtain morphometric and orientation patterns. As expected, scale dependency is observed, with an increase in density and circularity index at a higher resolution scale, but a decrease in mean area and perimeter. However, Voronoi polygon indices are similar at both scales (6.86 ± 1); the departure from the more stable number of six due to the clustering of dolines associated with NW‐SE oriented structural trends. Doline density trends closely follow the orientation of caves, but they are not always spatially connected, since doline evolution may either occlude the caves or be related to a non‐identified void. The Irecê Basin karst system displays a continuum of landforms evolving initially from high‐density fracture zones (fracture corridors), which work as favourable dissolution zones, grading into more integrated flow routes, cave systems and eventually clusters of collapse dolines. Collapse dolines are widespread karst landforms worldwide, and their genesis requires the presence of dissolution voids at depth, which may pass undetected from the surface. In some sectors of Irecê Basin, the existence of doline alignments but the absence of known caves indicates the potential of collapse dolines to be used as proxies for subsurface karstification. Such an approach may allow the prediction of the location and orientation of subsurface zones of enhanced dissolution that can potentially represent productive aquifers or favourable zones for geofluids.

Extending the wisdom of Tai Lue weaving to create the values of handcraft and traditional wisdom for community furniture at Wat Yuan, Thailand

This work aims to study consumer demand for newly designed Tai Lue fabric patterns for decorating bar stools; to investigate consumer demand for the materials, colour, and design requirements of bar stools; and to produce prototype bar stools decorated by Tai Lue weaves based on customer preferences. Data were collected from interviews and a literature review was conducted to design a bar stool that incorporates Tai Lue weaving. A questionnaire was distributed to better understand the desires of customers, such as newly designed patterns, materials, colours, and design requirements of bar stools. Then a prototype bar stool was produced and customer preferences and satisfaction were identified and analysed. It was found that the most popular Tai Lue woven pattern is the Dok Sor pattern mixed with the Saeng pattern. This is suitable for producing cushions and backrests because it is tightly woven, flexible and adds to the furniture's appealing feeling. Furthermore, a prototype was produced using a D-style chair made with wood of a natural colour, which is simple and can be produced in the community. This prototype bar stool is suitable for use in coffee shops. Customer satisfaction was measured in terms of its Tai Lue weaving appreciation, acceptance, ease of use, comfort, satisfaction, and durability. The customer demand scored the highest at 4,000 baht (110 USD). Finally, this study can encourage the use of traditional Tai Lue weaving patterns, thereby creating additional value and income for the Tai Lue community at Wat Yuan, in Chiang Khan district, Phayao province, Thailand.

Trip Attraction Rate Estimation Using Open Data Sources for Smart Transportation Planning

Trip Attraction Rate (TAR) serves as a load factor utilized in aggregate transportation modeling. Conventional estimation consumes a lot of time and manpower for field surveys. Meanwhile, open data sources, such as Google Maps, offer an alternative approach to conducting a survey. The popular times feature from Google Maps can estimate coffee shop TAR in the city of Bandung. This study focuses on coffee shops in Bandung City. Data was collected using web scraping techniques on Google Maps and produced a sample size of 377 data points after the validity and reliability processes. Subsequently, multiple linear regression was employed to estimate TAR. The findings reveal that variables like building area and distance to public transportation hubs influence TAR simultaneously. Moreover, our approach could also distinguish TAR between weekdays (0.13 people/m2/hour) and weekends (0.14 people/m2/hour) in Bandung City. This result challenges the usage of Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) standards, which is often due to limitations of time and workforce in conducting surveys for TAR estimation. The difference in values indicates the need to estimate specific TAR for each city in Indonesia rather than relying on ITE values, and the proposed approach to using open data sources will shorten the estimation process.

Hangout Places Recommendation System Using Content-Based Filtering and Cosine Similarity Methods

Coffee shops are becoming the new normal for friends and coworkers to hang out. Selecting the ideal location to hang out can be exceedingly difficult. There are too many choices, and it can be difficult to know where to begin. Based on this problem, a web application that responds to the growing need for an easy method of finding local hangouts is named Nongkies. With a focus on social interaction and exploration, this platform uses a recommender system to find cafes, restaurants, and entertainment venues easily. Key features include location-based search, category, and details places. Extensive testing has confirmed the reliability of Nongkies, offering user-friendly and accurate search results. This system is a website app that suggests places to users based on their preferences. This application was developed using the cosine similarity method, which is a systematic approach that uses a similar method based on cosine angles. Content that is less alike gets lower rankings, while more similar content gets the highest rankings in recommendations. Moreover, this app helps users find local hangouts and directions to those locations, especially university students, and the selection of places to socialize has a significant effect on students' learning experiences.

Water Sample Collection Methods for 222Rn Analysis by Scuba Diving: Insights on Groundwater Flushing of Anchialine Cave Systems of the Yucatan Peninsula

AbstractRadon (222Rn) is a widely used tracer in groundwater and surface water studies. In some applications of radon, samples need to be collected from deep submerged areas or discharge points such as caves or springs, locations typically accessed by scuba diving. However, there are no established sampling methods for collecting water by scuba diving for Rn analysis. We assessed four underwater sample collection methods: (a) injection into a catheter bag followed by transfer to a bottle after the dive, (b) air purging and then filling of a bottle by allowing gas to escape, (c) air purging followed by gas escape, and then overfilling of water with a syringe, and (d) collection with a syringe followed by transfer to a bottle. The samples were collected from the anchialine caves of the Yucatan Peninsula which are the longest underwater cave systems. The samples were analyzed using the same Rn‐in‐air analyzer and protocols. Statistical comparison of sampling at the same location with different methods showed no significant differences in Rn activity. No collection method is superior in terms of measurement quality; operational simplicity is thus preferred. Statistically significant differences in activity were observed between fresh and saline samples from the same cave, with higher activities in the fresh samples, regardless of sampling method. The saline groundwater therefore has a lower residence time, suggesting vigorous landwards flow. Our assessment shows that in situ sampling of discrete water samples for Rn tracing by divers is a useful and powerful approach allowing the study of otherwise impossible sites.
