Abstract:
As web sites are getting more complicated, the construction of web information extraction systems becomes more troublesome and time-consuming. A common theme is the difficulty in locating the segments of a page in which the target information is contained, which we call the informative blocks. This article reports on the Recognising Informative Page Blocks algorithm (RIPB), which is able to identify the informative block in a web page so that information extraction algorithms can work on it more efficiently. RIPB relies on an existing algorithm for vision-based page block segmentation to analyse and partition a web page into a set of visual blocks, and then groups related blocks with similar content structures into block clusters by using a tree edit distance method. RIPB recognises the informative block cluster by using tree alignment and tree matching. A series of experiments were performed, and the conclusions were that RIPB was more than 95% accurate in recognising informative block clusters, and improved the efficiency of information extraction by 17%.

Abstract:
Background : Analgesia post knee arthroplasties are crucial in early postoperative recovery and discharge . The objective of this study was to compare the analgesic efficacy of Adductor canal block with that of femoral nerve block in patients undergoing knee arthroplasties. Methods : 140 participants aged 18 years & above under American Society of Anaesthesiologists 1 and 2 physical status undergoing knee arthroplasty under spinal anaesthesia were included and were divided into 2 groups – Adductor canal block and femoral nerve block who were administered blocks under ultrasound guidance. The preoperative Visual Analog Scale score, haemodynamic variables and postoperative Visual Analog Scale scores were recorded. Results : The Visual Analog Scale scores between the two groups were not statistically significant however, a significant difference in the time taken by the Adductor canal block participants to request analgesia and to ambulate. Conclusion: Adductor canal block with Dexmedetomidine was equally efficacious when compared to Femoral nerve block with Dexmedetomidine in patients undergoing Total knee arthroplasty.

Abstract:
Recently, image compression using adaptive block truncation coding based on edge quantization (ABTC-EQ) was proposed by Mathews and Nair. Their approach deals with an image for two types of blocks, edge blocks and non-edge blocks. Different from using the bi-clustering approach on all blocks in previous block truncation coding (BTC)-like schemes, ABTC-EQ adopts tri-clustering to tackle edge blocks. The compression ratio of ABTC-EQ is reduced, but the visual quality of the reconstructed image is significantly improved. However, it is observed that ABTC-EQ uses 2 bits to represent the index of three clusters in a block. We can only use an average of 5/3 bits by variable-length code to represent the index of each cluster. On the other hand, there are two observations on the quantization levels in a block. The first observation is that the difference between the two quantization values is often smaller than the quantization values themselves. The second observation is that more clusters may enhance the visual quality of the reconstructed image. Based on variable-length coding and the above observations, we design variants of ABTC-EQ to enhance the visual quality of the reconstructed image and compression ratio.

Abstract:
A survey work on fungal diseases of major crops in Lunglei district, Mizoram was undertaken in farmers’ field during kharif season of 2021, using visual assessment method, in which pictorial representation of the host plant with known and graded amount of disease are compared with disease leaves to allow estimation of disease incidence, by measuring intensity of the pathogen with the help of disease grading scales. The disease samples collected from the farmers’ field were brought in the laboratory where identification of pathogen was done based on their morphological characters under the microscope. The Disease Incidence (DI) was recorded from the three blocks of Lunglei district viz. Lunglei block, Lungsen block and W. Bunghmun block. The Disease Incidence (DI) of brown spot of rice (37.22%), Narrow brown spot of rice (19.43%), Southern corn leaf blight (37.77%), Cercospora leaf spot of chilli (40.54%), Ginger leaf spot (32.21%), Banana black sigatoka (48.32%), and Sugarcane eye spot (33.32%) were highest in W. Bunghmun block. While, incidence of Anthracnose of chilli (19.43%) and Black spot of citrus (26.66%) were highest in Lunglei block. Percent Disease Index (PDI) was also recorded from the same blocks of Lunglei district. The Percent Disease Index of Brown spot of rice (14.07), Narrow brown spot of rice (7.34), Southern corn leaf blight (22.55), Cercospora leaf spot of chilli (16.54), Ginger leaf spot (11.55), Black sigatoka (21.10), Black spot of citrus (10.67) and Sugarcane eye spot (16.04) were highest in W. Bunghmun block. However, PDI of Anthracnose of chilli (4.37) was recorded highest in Lunglei block.

Abstract:
With the increasing use of in-vehicle information system (IVIS), driver distraction, especially visual distraction, has increased dramatically. Evaluating the impact of IVIS on traffic safety is important. Previous studies have used various standard secondary-task methods in place of real IVIS interactions to obtain quantitative and scalable results. However, traditional visual secondary tasks, such as the Surrogate Reference Task (SuRT) and the Arrow Task, are insufficient to simulate incrementally increased workload with fine details or contrast difference. This study designed a new form of visual secondary task (Color Block Task, CoBT) that could provide appropriate difficulty, incremental complexity, and contrast option for visual distraction assessment. The validity of this method was tested in a driving simulator by analyzing the reaction time and accuracy of the CoBTs, the reaction time and accuracy of a Tactile Detection Response Task (TDRT), and drivers’ vehicle control performance. Results showed that CoBT is a valid tool to mock drivers’ in-vehicle visual demand. CoBT and TDRT performance can effectively distinguish the difficulty levels of CoBT and explain drivers’ attention allocation pattern to some extent.

Full text
Abstract:
Urban visual localization is the process of determining the pose (position and attitude) of the imaging sensor (or platform) with the help of existing geo-referenced data. This task is critical and challenging for many applications, such as autonomous navigation, virtual and augmented reality, and robotics, due to the dynamic and complex nature of urban environments that may obstruct Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) signals. This paper proposes a block-wise matching strategy for urban visual localization by using geo-referenced Google Street View (GSV) panoramas as the database. To determine the pose of the monocular query images collected from a moving vehicle, neighboring GSVs should be found to establish the correspondence through image-wise and block-wise matching. First, each query image is semantically segmented and a template containing all permanent objects is generated. The template is then utilized in conjunction with a template matching approach to identify the corresponding patch from each GSV image within the database. Through the conversion of the query template and corresponding GSV patch into feature vectors, their image-wise similarity is computed pairwise. To ensure reliable matching, the query images are temporally grouped into query blocks, while the GSV images are spatially organized into GSV blocks. By using the previously computed image-wise similarities, we calculate a block-wise similarity for each query block with respect to every GSV block. A query block and its corresponding GSV blocks of top-ranked similarities are then input into a photogrammetric triangulation or structure from motion process to determine the pose of every image in the query block. A total of three datasets, consisting of two public ones and one newly collected on the Purdue campus, are utilized to demonstrate the performance of the proposed method. It is shown it can achieve a meter-level positioning accuracy and is robust to changes in acquisition conditions, such as image resolution, scene complexity, and the time of day.

Abstract:
Multimodal representation learning is gaining more and more interest within the deep learning community. While bilinear models provide an interesting framework to find subtle combination of modalities, their number of parameters grows quadratically with the input dimensions, making their practical implementation within classical deep learning pipelines challenging. In this paper, we introduce BLOCK, a new multimodal fusion based on the block-superdiagonal tensor decomposition. It leverages the notion of block-term ranks, which generalizes both concepts of rank and mode ranks for tensors, already used for multimodal fusion. It allows to define new ways for optimizing the tradeoff between the expressiveness and complexity of the fusion model, and is able to represent very fine interactions between modalities while maintaining powerful mono-modal representations. We demonstrate the practical interest of our fusion model by using BLOCK for two challenging tasks: Visual Question Answering (VQA) and Visual Relationship Detection (VRD), where we design end-to-end learnable architectures for representing relevant interactions between modalities. Through extensive experiments, we show that BLOCK compares favorably with respect to state-of-the-art multimodal fusion models for both VQA and VRD tasks.

Abstract:
Phishing often deceives users due to the relative similarity to the true pages on a layout and leads to considerable losses for the society. Consequently, detecting phishing sites has been an urgent activity. By researching phishing web pages using web page screenshots, we discover that this kind of web pages use numerous web page screenshots to achieve the close similarity to the true page and avoid the text and structure similarity detection. This study introduces a new similarity matching algorithm based on visual blocks. First, the RenderLayer tree of the web page is obtained to extract the visual block. Second, an algorithm that will settle the jumbled visual blocks, including the deletion of the small visual blocks and the emergence of the overlapping visual blocks, is designed. Finally, the similarity between the two web pages is assessed. The proposed algorithm sets different thresholds to achieve the optimal missing and false alarm rates.

Abstract:
The game of Jenga is a benchmark used for developing innovative manipulation solutions for complex tasks. Indeed, it encourages the study of novel robotics methods to successfully extract blocks from a tower. A Jenga game involves many traits of complex industrial and surgical manipulation tasks, requiring a multi-step strategy, the combination of visual and tactile data, and the highly precise motion of a robotic arm to perform a single block extraction. In this work, we propose a novel, cost-effective architecture for playing Jenga with e.Do, a 6DOF anthropomorphic manipulator manufactured by Comau, a standard depth camera, and an inexpensive monodirectional force sensor. Our solution focuses on a visual-based control strategy to accurately align the end-effector with the desired block, enabling block extraction by pushing. To this aim, we trained an instance segmentation deep learning model on a synthetic custom dataset to segment each piece of the Jenga tower, allowing for visual tracking of the desired block’s pose during the motion of the manipulator. We integrated the visual-based strategy with a 1D force sensor to detect whether the block could be safely removed by identifying a force threshold value. Our experimentation shows that our low-cost solution allows e.DO to precisely reach removable blocks and perform up to 14 consecutive extractions in a row.

Abstract:
Based on a long-term ethnography inside a block of flats in Piatra-Neamt, Romania, this thesis explores how individuals, through everyday creative engagements with their apartments, try to come to terms with the uncertainties of a rapidly changing society - one caught between the vulnerabilities of both socialism and capitalism. It examines the inhabitants' capacity for self-organization, with a focus on the daily life of a block administrator overseeing the maintenance and repair of his ageing building. By paying close attention to a range of infrastructural elements often taken for granted - from water taps and boilers, to balconies and windows - my research offers new insights into how people negotiate complex relationships of trust and suspicion in the light of degrading infrastructure. Within the context of increasingly decentralized resources, I also demonstrate various difficulties involved in sustaining day-to-day practices of energy-saving, and discuss the block inhabitants' multifaceted understanding of the 'common good'. Finally, I emphasize how apartment renovations are fuelled by motivations that are at once aesthetic and functional, and thus problematize the distinction between these two categories that has dominated anthropological studies of the built environment to this day. My thesis contrasts the well-established literature about the home - that pays attention to aesthetics and identity at the micro-scale of the domestic space - with recent studies about infrastructure that typically examine macro-scale, functional reasons for urban transformations. Overall, I argue for a more prominent role for the study of home infrastructures in anthropology, while also contributing to debates about housing and energy policies.

Abstract:
Previous studies have found that poor effort can significantly impact psychometric performance by Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) patients. So far, this impact has been relatively well studied in attention and memory. However, this is not the case for visual perception functions. Thus, the goal of this study was to determine to what extent TBI severity affect visual perception after controlling for effort. Results showed that mild TBI good effort group did not differ from a demographically matched control group. In contrast, a mild TBI poor effort group, a moderate-severe TBI group and a right hemisphere cerebro-vascular (CVA) group performed worse than the mild TBI good effort group and the control group. The results suggest a dose response relationship between injury severity and visual perception performance. After controlling for effort, results indicated that moderate-severe TBI, but not mild TBI, has long lasting effects on visual perception. Clinical implications are discussed.

Abstract:
Cette thèse porte sur l'indexation et l'interrogation de pages Web. Dans ce cadre, nous proposons un nouveau modèle : BlockWeb, qui s'appuie sur une décomposition de pages Web en une hiérarchie de blocs visuels. Ce modèle prend en compte, l'importance visuelle de chaque bloc et la perméabilité des blocs au contenu de leurs blocs voisins dans la page. Les avantages de cette décomposition sont multiples en terme d'indexation et d'interrogation. Elle permet notamment d'effectuer une interrogation à une granularité plus fine que la page : les blocs les plus similaires à une requête peuvent être renvoyés à la place de la page complète. Une page est représentée sous forme d'un graphe acyclique orienté dont chaque nœud est associé à un bloc et étiqueté par l'importance de ce bloc et chaque arc est étiqueté la perméabilité du bloc cible au bloc source. Afin de construire ce graphe à partir de la représentation en arbre de blocs d'une page, nous proposons un nouveau langage : XIML (acronyme de XML Indexing Management Language), qui est un langage de règles à la façon de XSLT. Nous avons expérimenté notre modèle sur deux applications distinctes : la recherche du meilleur point d'entrée sur un corpus d'articles de journaux électroniques et l'indexation et la recherche d'images sur un corpus de la campagne d'ImagEval 2006. Nous en présentons les résultats<br>This thesis is about indexing and querying Web pages. We propose a new model called BlockWeb, based on the decomposition of Web pages into a hierarchy of visual blocks. This model takes in account the visual importance of each block as well as the permeability of block's content to their neighbor blocks on the page. Splitting up a page into blocks has several advantages in terms of indexing and querying. It allows to query the system with a finer granularity than the whole page: the most similar blocks to the query can be returned instead of the whole page. A page is modeled as a directed acyclic graph, the IP graph, where each node is associated with a block and is labeled by the coefficient of importance of this block and each arc is labeled by the coefficient of permeability of the target node content to the source node content. In order to build this graph from the bloc tree representation of a page, we propose a new language : XIML (acronym for XML Indexing Management Language), a rule based language like XSLT. The model has been assessed on two distinct dataset: finding the best entry point in a dataset of electronic newspaper articles, and images indexing and querying in a dataset drawn from web pages of the ImagEval 2006 campaign. We present the results of these experiments

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis examines the ways in which black visual artists Roy DeCarava, Gordon Parks, Jean-Michel Basquiat and David Hammons visually represent African American men. By looking at their various representations of workers, enslaved men, sportsmen, musicians and politicians in relation to a legacy of negative and positive stereotypes of black masculinity in the United States, I argue that these artists resist limited, polarised notions of African American male identity in order to create new visions that are defined by complexity, ambiguity and creativity. Spanning a time period from the early 1950S to the mid-rocos this thesis is set against the background of a society in which black men are often split into groups of the famous and the anonymous, the celebrated and the demonised, and where the "ordinary everyday realities" of African American men are largely negated. I show how each of the artists discussed here negotiate splits in conceptions of African American male identity as they expose the tensions and contradictions faced by all black men who live their lives under the scrutiny of the public eye. By focusing particularly on the ways in which these artists deal with the complicated and often contradictory issues of visibility and invisibility in relation to African American male identities, I show how their work "re-envisions vision," challenging the ways black men are viewed in U.S. society and suggesting alternatives based in the importance of individualised black male subjectivities. Furthermore, this thesis shows how the relationship between these artists and the institutions within which they work sheds light on their interpretations of what it means and feels to be a black man living a life in public.

Abstract:
The demand for creating diverse programs is increasingly prominent in the computer market and the flourishing realm of mobile devices. Furthermore, mobile phones have become essential work tools and are extensively used in various activities, including work, entertainment, education, IoT. Consequently, there is a growing need for modern, versatile, and efficient tools to facilitate the creation of such programs. Presently, this issue is particularly relevant as the development of these programs primarily relies on programmers with specialized education and experience who possess the requisite skills to work with specific tools. The scarcity of such skilled professionals in the labour market compounds the problem, making it expensive, challenging, or nearly impossible to hire them. One possible solution to fix this situation is the adoption of alternative application development software that do not demand extensive programming knowledge, such as visual programming software. This software has the potential for a new breed of programmers who do not have knowledge in low-level programming languages. This article aims to provide a systematic review of evaluation of the possibilities of visual and traditional programming environment software for learning and development purposes.

Comparison of Low Doses of Lidocaine in Terms of Efficacy, Reliability, and Satisfaction in Ambulatory Hand Surgery Using Intravenous Regional Anaesthesia with Forearm Tourniquet: A Prospective, Randomized Controlled Trial. Science Repository, 2024. http://dx.doi.org/10.31487/j.acr.2024.01.01.

Full text
Abstract:
Objective: This study aimed to assess efficacy, complications, and surgeon and patient satisfaction related to forearm intravenous regional anaesthesia using low doses of lidocaine in ambulatory hand surgery. Methods: This prospective, randomized and double-blind study included patients who received 25 ml (125 mg; Group 1; n = 35) and 15 ml (75 mg; Group 2; n = 35) of 0.5% lidocaine. Data recorded included sociodemographic variables, intraoperative hemodynamic findings, time to onset of sensory and motor block, intensity of motor block, duration of tourniquet tolerance, need for additional local anaesthetic and sedation, development of intraoperative complications, perioperative visual analog scale values, and patient and surgeon satisfaction. Results: Group 2 showed significantly longer time to onset of motor and sensory block than Group 1 (p = 0.033 and 0.015, respectively). Group 2 showed a significantly weaker intensity of motor block than Group 1 (p &lt; 0.001). Only one patient in Group 2 required additional local anaesthetic. No patient developed major complications. Conclusion: Forearm intravenous regional anaesthesia using a low dose of 0.5% lidocaine (75 mg; 15 ml) can provide adequate and safe surgical anaesthesia in ambulatory surgery of the hand. Furthermore, weaker motor blockade may assist the surgical team, especially in tendon surgeries. Therefore, the use of a lidocaine dose almost equivalent to the quantity used in IV induction of anaesthesia can achieve safe and effective anaesthesia in hand surgery. Level of Evidence: Level I, therapeutic study.

Abstract:
Direct assessment (DA) is one method pipeline companies use to assess the extent and severity of stress corrosion cracking and other defects on their pipeline system. Successful integrity management of a pipeline is dependent, in part, on proper interpretation of the defects encountered in the DA program. The objective of this project was to prepare a document containing a compilation of types of crack-like magnetic-particle testing (MT) or visual indications found on underground transmission pipelines for the purpose of proper interpretation of their type and cause. Pipe samples containing various types of defects were inspected by means of black and MT, optically photographed, and then metallographically sectioned and photographed. The MT photographs and metallographic photomicrographs were compiled in an Access Database.

Abstract:
This fascinating and original work explores the experiences of third-culture children of African descent in New Zealand. The term ‘third-culture kid’ refers to an individual who grows up in a culture different from the culture of their parents. Experiences of youth of African descent is under-researched in New Zealand. The central research focus explores racialised emotions internalised by African youth that are largely attributed to a lack of positive media representation of African and/or black youth, coupled with daily experiences of micro-aggressions and structural racism. In this respect, the case-study analysis is reflective of careful, methodological and deliberative analysis, which offers powerful insights into the grass-roots strategies employed by African youth to resist negative stereotypes that problematise and marginalise them politically and economically.

Full text
Abstract:
Background Australia is a multi-cultural society with increasing rates of people from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds. On average, CALD groups have higher rates of tobacco use, lower participation in cancer screening programs, and poorer health outcomes than the general Australian population. Lower cancer screening and smoking cessation rates are due to differing cultural norms, health-related attitudes, and beliefs, and language barriers. Interventions can help address these potential barriers and increase tobacco cessation and cancer screening rates among CALD groups. Cancer Council NSW (CCNSW) aims to reduce the impact of cancer and improve cancer outcomes for priority populations including CALD communities. In line with this objective, CCNSW commissioned this rapid review of interventions implemented in Australia and comparable countries. Review questions This review aimed to address the following specific questions: Question 1 (Q1): What smoking cessation interventions have been proven effective in reducing or preventing smoking among culturally and linguistically diverse communities? Question 2 (Q2): What screening interventions have proven effective in increasing participation in population cancer screening programs among culturally and linguistically diverse populations? This review focused on Chinese-, Vietnamese- and Arabic-speaking people as they are the largest CALD groups in Australia and have high rates of tobacco use and poor screening adherence in NSW. Summary of methods An extensive search of peer-reviewed and grey literature published between January 2013-March 2022 identified 19 eligible studies for inclusion in the Q1 review and 49 studies for the Q2 review. The National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) Levels of Evidence and Joanna Briggs Institute’s (JBI) Critical Appraisal Tools were used to assess the robustness and quality of the included studies, respectively. Key findings Findings are reported by components of an intervention overall and for each CALD group. By understanding the effectiveness of individual components, results will demonstrate key building blocks of an effective intervention. Question 1: What smoking cessation interventions have been proven effective in reducing or preventing smoking among culturally and linguistically diverse communities? Thirteen of the 19 studies were Level IV (L4) evidence, four were Level III (L3), one was Level II (L2), none were L1 (highest level of evidence) and one study’s evidence level was unable to be determined. The quality of included studies varied. Fifteen tobacco cessation intervention components were included, with most interventions involving at least three components (range 2-6). Written information (14 studies), and education sessions (10 studies) were the most common components included in an intervention. Eight of the 15 intervention components explored had promising evidence for use with Chinese-speaking participants (written information, education sessions, visual information, counselling, involving a family member or friend, nicotine replacement therapy, branded merchandise, and mobile messaging). Another two components (media campaign and telephone follow-up) had evidence aggregated across CALD groups (i.e., results for Chinese-speaking participants were combined with other CALD group(s)). No intervention component was deemed of sufficient evidence for use with Vietnamese-speaking participants and four intervention components had aggregated evidence (written information, education sessions, counselling, nicotine replacement therapy). Counselling was the only intervention component to have promising evidence for use with Arabic-speaking participants and one had mixed evidence (written information). Question 2: What screening interventions have proven effective in increasing participation in population cancer screening programs among culturally and linguistically diverse populations? Two of the 49 studies were Level I (L1) evidence, 13 L2, seven L3, 25 L4 and two studies’ level of evidence was unable to be determined. Eighteen intervention components were assessed with most interventions involving 3-4 components (range 1-6). Education sessions (32 studies), written information (23 studies) and patient navigation (10 studies) were the most common components. Seven of the 18 cancer screening intervention components had promising evidence to support their use with Vietnamese-speaking participants (education sessions, written information, patient navigation, visual information, peer/community health worker, counselling, and peer experience). The component, opportunity to be screened (e.g. mailed or handed a bowel screening test), had aggregated evidence regarding its use with Vietnamese-speaking participants. Seven intervention components (education session, written information, visual information, peer/community health worker, opportunity to be screened, counselling, and branded merchandise) also had promising evidence to support their use with Chinese-speaking participants whilst two components had mixed (patient navigation) or aggregated (media campaign) evidence. One intervention component for use with Arabic-speaking participants had promising evidence to support its use (opportunity to be screened) and eight intervention components had mixed or aggregated support (education sessions, written information, patient navigation, visual information, peer/community health worker, peer experience, media campaign, and anatomical models). Gaps in the evidence There were four noteworthy gaps in the evidence: 1. No systematic review was captured for Q1, and only two studies were randomised controlled trials. Much of the evidence is therefore based on lower level study designs, with risk of bias. 2. Many studies provided inadequate detail regarding their intervention design which impacts both the quality appraisal and how mixed finding results can be interpreted. 3. Several intervention components were found to have supportive evidence available only at the aggregate level. Further research is warranted to determine the interventions effectiveness with the individual CALD participant group only. 4. The evidence regarding the effectiveness of certain intervention components were either unknown (no studies) or insufficient (only one study) across CALD groups. This was the predominately the case for Arabic-speaking participants for both Q1 and Q2, and for Vietnamese-speaking participants for Q1. Further research is therefore warranted. Applicability Most of the intervention components included in this review are applicable for use in the Australian context, and NSW specifically. However, intervention components assessed as having insufficient, mixed, or no evidence require further research. Cancer screening and tobacco cessation interventions targeting Chinese-speaking participants were more common and therefore showed more evidence of effectiveness for the intervention components explored. There was support for cancer screening intervention components targeting Vietnamese-speaking participants but not for tobacco cessation interventions. There were few interventions implemented for Arabic-speaking participants that addressed tobacco cessation and screening adherence. Much of the evidence for Vietnamese and Arabic-speaking participants was further limited by studies co-recruiting multiple CALD groups and reporting aggregate results. Conclusion There is sound evidence for use of a range of intervention components to address tobacco cessation and cancer screening adherence among Chinese-speaking populations, and cancer screening adherence among Vietnamese-speaking populations. Evidence is lacking regarding the effectiveness of tobacco cessation interventions with Vietnamese- and Arabic-speaking participants, and cancer screening interventions for Arabic-speaking participants. More research is required to determine whether components considered effective for use in one CALD group are applicable to other CALD populations.

Harris, L. B., P. Adiban, and E. Gloaguen. The role of enigmatic deep crustal and upper mantle structures on Au and magmatic Ni-Cu-PGE-Cr mineralization in the Superior Province. Natural Resources Canada/CMSS/Information Management, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.4095/328984.

Full text
Abstract:
Aeromagnetic and ground gravity data for the Canadian Superior Province, filtered to extract long wavelength components and converted to pseudo-gravity, highlight deep, N-S trending regional-scale, rectilinear faults and margins to discrete, competent mafic or felsic granulite blocks (i.e. at high angles to most regional mapped structures and sub-province boundaries) with little to no surface expression that are spatially associated with lode ('orogenic') Au and Ni-Cu-PGE-Cr occurrences. Statistical and machine learning analysis of the Red Lake-Stormy Lake region in the W Superior Province confirms visual inspection for a greater correlation between Au deposits and these deep N-S structures than with mapped surface to upper crustal, generally E-W trending, faults and shear zones. Porphyry Au, Ni, Mo and U-Th showings are also located above these deep transverse faults. Several well defined concentric circular to elliptical structures identified in the Oxford Stull and Island Lake domains along the S boundary of the N Superior proto-craton, intersected by N- to NNW striking extensional fractures and/or faults that transect the W Superior Province, again with little to no direct surface or upper crustal expression, are spatially associated with magmatic Ni-Cu-PGE-Cr and related mineralization and Au occurrences. The McFaulds Lake greenstone belt, aka. 'Ring of Fire', constitutes only a small, crescent-shaped belt within one of these concentric features above which 2736-2733 Ma mafic-ultramafic intrusions bodies were intruded. The Big Trout Lake igneous complex that hosts Cr-Pt-Pd-Rh mineralization west of the Ring of Fire lies within a smaller concentrically ringed feature at depth and, near the Ontario-Manitoba border, the Lingman Lake Au deposit, numerous Au occurrences and minor Ni showings, are similarly located on concentric structures. Preliminary magnetotelluric (MT) interpretations suggest that these concentric structures appear to also have an expression in the subcontinental lithospheric mantle (SCLM) and that lithospheric mantle resistivity features trend N-S as well as E-W. With diameters between ca. 90 km to 185 km, elliptical structures are similar in size and internal geometry to coronae on Venus which geomorphological, radar, and gravity interpretations suggest formed above mantle upwellings. Emplacement of mafic-ultramafic bodies hosting Ni-Cr-PGE mineralization along these ringlike structures at their intersection with coeval deep transverse, ca. N-S faults (viz. phi structures), along with their location along the margin to the N Superior proto-craton, are consistent with secondary mantle upwellings portrayed in numerical models of a mantle plume beneath a craton with a deep lithospheric keel within a regional N-S compressional regime. Early, regional ca. N-S faults in the W Superior were reactivated as dilatational antithetic (secondary Riedel/R') sinistral shears during dextral transpression and as extensional fractures and/or normal faults during N-S shortening. The Kapuskasing structural zone or uplift likely represents Proterozoic reactivation of a similar deep transverse structure. Preservation of discrete faults in the deep crust beneath zones of distributed Neoarchean dextral transcurrent to transpressional shear zones in the present-day upper crust suggests a 'millefeuille' lithospheric strength profile, with competent SCLM, mid- to deep, and upper crustal layers. Mechanically strong deep crustal felsic and mafic granulite layers are attributed to dehydration and melt extraction. Intra-crustal decoupling along a ductile décollement in the W Superior led to the preservation of early-formed deep structures that acted as conduits for magma transport into the overlying crust and focussed hydrothermal fluid flow during regional deformation. Increase in the thickness of semi-brittle layers in the lower crust during regional metamorphism would result in an increase in fracturing and faulting in the lower crust, facilitating hydrothermal and carbonic fluid flow in pathways linking SCLM to the upper crust, a factor explaining the late timing for most orogenic Au. Results provide an important new dataset for regional prospectively mapping, especially with machine learning, and exploration targeting for Au and Ni-Cr-Cu-PGE mineralization. Results also furnish evidence for parautochthonous development of the S Superior Province during plume-related rifting and cannot be explained by conventional subduction and arc-accretion models.
