Machine learning-based prediction of component self-alignment in vapour phase and infrared soldering
Authors: Krammer Oliver , Martinek Péter , Illes Balazs , Jakab László 
Published: May 2019

Purpose
This paper aims to investigate the self-alignment of 0603 size (1.5 × 0.75 mm) chip resistors, which were soldered by infrared or vapour phase soldering. The results were used for establishing an artificial neural network for predicting the component movement during the soldering.

Design/methodology/approach
The components were soldered onto an FR4 testboard, which was designed to facilitate the measuring of the position of the components both prior to and after the soldering. A semi-automatic placement machine misplaced the components intentionally, and the self-alignment ability was determined for soldering techniques of both infrared and vapour phase soldering. An artificial neural network-based prediction method was established, which is able to predict the position of chip resistors after soldering as a function of component misplacement prior to soldering.

Findings
The results showed that the component can self-align from farer distances by using vapour phase method, even from relative misplacement of 50 per cent parallel to the shorter side of the component. Components can self-align from a relative misplacement only of 30 per cent by using infrared soldering method. The established artificial neural network can predict the component self-alignment with an approximately 10-20 per cent mean absolute error.

Originality/value
It was proven that the vapour phase soldering method is more stable from the component’s self-alignment point of view. Furthermore, machine learning-based predictors can be applied in the field of reflow soldering technology, and artificial neural networks can predict the component self-alignment with an appropriately low error.
Subsidy type and quality determine direction and strength of trophic cascades in arthropod food webs in agroecosystems
Authors: Riggi Laura G. A. , Bommarco Riccardo 
Published: May 2019

Abstract

The subsidy hypothesis states that communities receiving nutrient subsidies will demonstrate top‐down trophic cascades where predators indirectly increase plant biomass. This has been both confirmed and refuted, which might depend on whether the subsidy has mainly targeted the plant or the detrital food web compartment, and on the subsidy quality. This is particularly poorly understood for terrestrial communities such as heavily subsidized agroecosystems.

Using cages covering 4 m2 of ground in a long‐term agricultural fertilization experiment, we tested whether subsidies targeting the detrital soil mesofauna compartment with organic fertilizers, or the plants with mineral fertilizer, impacted the direction and strength of trophic cascades in an arthropod–plant food web. We expected top‐down controls of generalist arthropod predators (spiders, ground and rove beetles) on aphid densities to be stronger in organically fertilized plots due to enhanced alternative prey availability in the soil. Bottom‐up control from barley quality on aphids was anticipated to be stronger in the mineral treatments. We examined how the quality (decomposability) of the organic subsidy governed the cascades by comparing treatments with labile (manure) and recalcitrant (hay) organic matter.

Top‐down forces dominated in food webs receiving organic subsidies, while bottom‐up forces dominated under mineral fertilization. A high‐quality, easily degradable organic subsidy propagated faster through the food chain, leading to a top‐down trophic cascade with generalist predators having a positive effect on plant biomass in the labile but not in the recalcitrant organic treatment.

Synthesis and applications. Management of agricultural soils that bolster the soil mesofauna, for example adding organic fertilizers, has potential to increase top‐down biological control by naturally occurring generalist arthropod predators. Our research demonstrates how barley biomass can be enhanced in manure treatment in the presence of arthropod predators to a level comparable to that of mineral fertilizer.

AbstractObjectiveTo assess the effect of changing survey questions on plan‐level patient experience measures and ratings.Data Source2015 Medicare Advantage CAHPS Survey respondents.Study DesignNinety three randomly selected beneficiaries in each of 40 MA plans received a revised (5.0) CAHPS survey; 38 832 beneficiaries received version 4.0. Linear mixed‐effect regression predicted CAHPS measures from fixed effects for survey version and beneficiary characteristics and random effects for plan and plan‐by‐version random slope.Principal FindingsResponse rates were 42 percent for both versions. Removal of “try to” from screeners increased the percentage of respondents eligible for follow‐up questions. Version 5.0 caused a small increase (1‐3 points on a 0‐100 scale, P < 0.05) in the mean of three altered measures and a moderate increase (>3 points) in one. There was a small statistically significant increase in two unaltered measures. These changes were uniform across plans, so there would be no expected change compared to results using the legacy survey in the score distributions other than uniform mean shifts, and no expected effect on summary measures.ConclusionsThese analyses illustrate how to assess the impact of seemingly minor survey modifications for other national surveys considering changes and highlight the importance of screeners in instrument design.
Humans Are Animals, Too: Critical Commonalities and Differences Between Human and Wildlife Forensic Genetics
Authors: Moore M. Katherine , Frazier Kim 
Published: May 2019

AbstractWildlife forensics has recently been recognized among the wide variety of forensic science disciplines. This review compares human and wildlife DNA forensics, which use the same genetic tools, but often for far different purposes. Human forensic genetics almost invariably attempts to identify individual perpetrators involved in a given crime. Wildlife forensics often determines whether a crime has occurred. In addition to techniques familiar in human laboratories, like individual matching with STRs, wildlife analysts may be asked to determine the taxonomic identity, geographic source, or sex of evidence items, or the familial relationships or minimum number of individuals among a group of samples. This review highlights the common questions, legal framework, databases, and similar validation requirements to foster understanding between disciplines. Based on this understanding, human and wildlife DNA practitioners may work together and learn from each other in order to elevate the discipline of forensic genetics.
The Discovery of Mesoproterozoic Oceanic Crust In North Qaidam UHP Belt, NW China
Authors: CHEN Danling , REN Yunfei 
Published: May 2019

AbstractThe North Qaidam is an Early Paleozoic UHP metamorphic belt located at the north margin of the Tibet plateau. Eclogites in this belt contain both continental‐and oceanic‐type ones. In which, the continental‐type eclogites have protolith ages of 750–850 Ma and WPB or CFB geochemical signatures and are believed to have formed in a continental rift or an incipient oceanic basin setting related to the breakup of the Rodinia supercontinent, their metamorphic ages (421–458 Ma) and P–T paths are comparable to their host gneisses; oceanic‐type eclogites have cumulate gabbro or E‐MORB geochemical signatures, their protolith and metamorphic ages are 510–516 Ma and 425–450 Ma, respectively(Zhang et al., 2008). Therefore, the North Qaidam UHP belt was thought to record the whole Neoprotoerozoic–Paleozoic Wilson cycle (Song et al., 2014). In this study, we reported three new kinds of eclogites: kyanite‐bearing eclogite, lawsonite pseudomorph‐bearing eclogite and double mineral eclogite. They occur as big lentoid blocks in regional granitic gneiss in the western part of the belt. Phase equilibrium modelling and zircon LA‐ICPMS U‐Pb dating show that all these three eclogites experienced a clockwise P–T path with peak metamorphic conditions close to or fall in the coesite stability field, and their peak metamorphic age were around 436‐439 Ma, similar to those continental‐type eclogites in this belt. But their protolith ages are between 1273 and 1070 Ma, and some of them recorded an amphibolite facies metamorphic age of 927 Ma, and geochemical data and zircon Lu‐Hf and O isotope analysis indicate these eclogites have features of present day N‐MORB. Combined with the existing results, we propose that the North Qaidam is a polycyclic composite orogenwhich recorded tectonic evolution of Mesoproterozoic ocean floor spreading, assembly and breakup of Rodinia supercontinent, Early Paleozoic oceanic deep subduction and subsequently continental deep subduction.
Petrological and zircon evidence for the Early Cretaceous granulite‐facies metamorphism in the Dabie orogen, China
Authors: GAO Xiaoying 
Published: May 2019

AbstractAn integrated study of petrology, mineralogy, geochemistry, and geochronology was carried out for contemporaneous mafic granulite and diorite from the Dabie orogen. The results provide evidence for granulite‐facies reworking of the ultrahigh‐pressure (UHP) metamorphic rock in the collisional orogen. Most zircons from the granulite are new growth, and their U‐Pb ages are clearly categorized into two groups at 122–127 Ma and 188.2 Ma. Although these two groups of zircons show similarly steep HREE patterns and variably negative Eu anomalies, the younger group has much higher U, Th and REE contents and Th/U ratios, much lower εHf(t) values than the older group. This suggests their growth is associated with different types of dehydration reactions. The older zircon domains contain mineral inclusions of Grt, Cpx and Qz, indicating their growth through metamorphic reactions at high pressures. In contrast, the young zircon domains would have grown through peritectic reaction at low to medium pressures. The younger granulite‐facies metamorphic age is in agreement not only with the adjacent diorite at 125.1 Ma in this study but also the voluminous emplacement of coeval mafic and felsic magmas in the Dabie orogen. Mineral separates from both mafic granulite and its adjacent diorite show uniformly lower δ18O values than normal mantle, similar to those for UHP eclogite‐facies metaigneous rocks in the Dabie orogen. In combination with major‐trace elements and zircon Lu‐Hf isotope compositions, it is inferred that the protolith of mafic granulites shares with the source rock of diorites, both being a kind of mafic metasomatites at the slab‐mantle interface in the continental subduction channel. This provides a direct link in petrogenesis between the granulitic, migmatic and magmatic rocks in the collisional orogen to active continental rifting, whereby high heat flow was transferred from the asthenospheric mantle into the thinned orogenic lithosphere for partia melting.
Study of antigorite Crystal Cell Parameters Changing with Temperature and Pressure by TEM
Authors: HEN Tingting , CHEN Jing 
Published: May 2019

AbstractTo determine the P‐T conditions of serpentinite without any specific metamorphic minerals is a difficult work, because the main mineral antigorite could stable at a wide P‐T range of about 400–700°C, 10–50 kbar. Observations from natural rocks and high‐pressure experiments both suggest that the length of a‐axis of antigorite (can calculate as m value) is related to temperature and pressure, which could be used as a thermobarometer. However, some researchers disagree with this point. In this study, transmission electron microscope (TEM) technique is used to measure the crystal structure of antigorite obtained by whole‐rock system high pressure experiments, and then compare with the experimental results in the predecessors’ MgO‐SiO2‐H2O (MSH) system, to find out the correlation between m value of antigorite and P‐T conditions in the whole‐rock system. According to this study, several conclusions have been drawn: (1) the m value of antigorite is elevated with increasing pressure; (2) the increase content of aluminum in antigorite migrate the m values to high temperature field; (3) as the temperature rises, the m value of antigorite decreases, and the water content increases.
Early Neoproterozoic mafic Rocks in the North Lhasa Terrane, Tibet: A relic of the Mozambique Ocean
Authors: HU Peiyuan 
Published: May 2019

AbstractThe Mozambique Ocean is postulated to mark the huge oceanic basin of the East African Orogen and separated the continental components of eastern and western Gondwana, but only limited studies have considered the production of its oceanic crust. Here we present a combined analysis of petrological, geochronological, geochemical, and Sr–Nd–Hf isotopic data for the Early Neoproterozoic gabbros in the North Lhasa terrane, Tibet. Zircons from the gabbros yielded concordant ages of ca. 913–901 Ma. The gabbros display N‐MORB compositions with limited subduction input and are characterized by high positive zircon εHf(t) (+5.3 to +12.1) and whole‐rock εNd(t) (+5.6 to +6.5) values. They have not experienced significant crustal contamination but their compositions have been modified by extensive fractional crystallization. They are most likely derived from relatively high degree partial melting (>20%) of a spinel lherzolite source in a depleted mantle. Combined with observations from previous studies, we suggest that the generation of these gabbros was probably related to the incipient formation of oceanic crust in a back‐arc basin and they may mark a relic of the eastern Mozambique Ocean. To our knowledge, they are the oldest oceanic relic in the Tibetan Plateau.
Detachment‐Accretion Formed the Xigaze Ophiolite along the Southern Margin of the Eurasian Plate in Southern Tibet
Authors: LI Yuan 
Published: May 2019

AbstractMantle peridotites predominate over the 130–120 Ma mafic rocks, which have a limited temporal interval. This characteristic distinguishes the ophiolite outcrops along the Yarlung Zangbo Sutrue Zone (YZSZ) in southern Tibet from more typical ophiolites, such as the Oman ophiolite. Here we present new structural field observations and identify the low‐angle detachment faults of the Xigaze ophiolite. We demonstrate that the extension associated with the detachment system was accommodated by accretion of mafic magma rather than by thinning and dismemberment. U‐Pb zircon ages from three groups of mafic intrusives closely related to the detachment faults show that the detachment system was initiated at ∼126 Ma and ceased at ∼123 Ma. A detailed study of the entire Xigaze ophiolite assemblage reveals that the ophiolite formed in situ at the southern margin of the Eurasian Plate, instead of being formed from fragments of tectonic slices.
Quartz paramorphs after former stishovite in UHP eclogite from the South Altyn Tagh, Western China and its Significance

Published: May 2019

AbstractThe long prism/needle‐shaped polycrystalline quartz aggregates and square/parallelogram‐shaped singlephase quartz inclusions in omphacite and garnet of ultrahigh pressure eclogite were first discovered from the Jiangalesayi area, South Altyn UHP belt. Based on their morphology, these quartz inclusions are quartz paramorphs after stishovite. The minimum peak pressure of the eclogite is estimated to be >8–9 GPa at 800– 1000 °C based on the stability field of stishovite. This new evidence, together with previous stishovite exsolution microstructure in the gneiss from the same region, suggests an ultra‐deep subduction and exhumation of the South Altyn continental rocks to/from mantle depths in stishovite stability field. Evidence of ultra‐deep subduction of continental materials might be more common and diverse than previous thought.Exhumation of subducted continental rocks from≥300 km has been considered impossible because they are denser than mantle at these depths. How did the stishovite bearing continental rocks of the South Altyn exhumated?As we all know, the densities of stishovite (4.3 g/cm3) are much higher than coesite (2.9 g/cm3), and stishovite transforms into coesite with temperature increases. Density calculations were performed for subducted continental rocks along phase transition of stishovite to coesite, using the third‐order Birch‐Murnaghan equation of state based on mineral fractions obtained from experiments and Perple_X. The results show that the density of Siliceous rocks decrease remarkably, lower than the surrounding mantle in coesite stability field, whereas the density of Oligosiliceous and Silicon unsaturated rocks is higher than surrounding mantle.Thus, we propose that the thermal induced transformation could provide an initial driven force for the exhumation of ultra‐deep subducted silica‐enriched felsic continental rocks. Temperature increase could be derived from an increased geothermal gradient from convective mantle or mantle plume. Mafic to ultra‐mafic rocks and silica‐deficient rocks may be captured by the upwelling subducted continental rocks and exhumated together.
Petrogenesis and PGE Abundances of High‐Cr and High‐Al Chromitites and Peridotites from the Bulqiza Ultramafic Massif, Eastern Mirdita Ophiolite, Albania

Published: May 2019

AbstractThe Bulqiza ultmafic massif, which belongs to the eastern Mirdita ophiolite of northern Albania, is world renowned for its high‐Cr chromite resource. The high‐Cr chromitites commonly host in the mantle section, while high‐Al chromitites also present in massive dunite of the mantle‐crust transition zone (MTZ) in this massif. Chromian‐spinel in the MTZ high‐Al chromitites and MTZ dunites have much lower Cr# values [Cr/(Cr+Al)×100] (47.7–55.1 and 46.5–51.7, respectively) than those of chromian‐spinel in the high‐Cr chromitites (78.2–80.4), harzburgites (72.6–77.9) and mantle dunites (79.4–84.3). The high‐Cr chromitites are rich in IPGE relative to PPGE with 0.10–0.45 PPGE/IPGE ratios, whereas the high‐Al chromitites have higher PPGE/IPGE ratios between 1.20 and 7.80. The partial melting degrees of parental magmas for the high‐Cr chromitites are beyond the critical interval (> 25%) and thus prevented sulfide saturation and diluted Pt and Pd in melts, producing high‐Cr chromitites barren of Pt and Pd. However, the degrees for the high‐Al chromitites just enter the critical interval (20–25%) for the effective extraction of PGE from mantle sulfides, which may account for the enrichments of PPGE in high‐Al chromitites. The parental melts of the high‐Cr chromitites have Al2O3 and TiO2 contents of ∼10.6–11.4 wt.% and 0.14–0.31 wt.%, whereas the calculated Al2O3 and TiO2 for the high‐Al chromitites are ∼14.9–15.9 wt.% and 0.07–0.61 wt.%, respectively. The calculated melts in equilibrium with the high‐Cr chromitites are boninitic‐like, and those with high‐Al chromitites are MORB‐like but with hydrous, oxidized and TiO2‐poor affinities. To make a compromise between the inconsistence above, we proposed that coexistence of both types of chromitites in the Bulqiza ultramafic massif may reflect that their magma compositions transited from MORB‐like to boninitic‐like in a proto‐forearc setting during subduction initiation. Key words: Chromian‐spinel, Platinum‐group elements, high‐Cr and high‐Al chromitite, Mirdita ophiolite, Albania.
Fe Isotope Compositions of Cyprus Umbers
Authors: SUN Jian , ZHU Xiangkun , LI Zhihong 
Published: May 2019

AbstractSubmarine metalliferous sedimentary rocks are chemical precipitates resulted from hydrothermal exhalation near mid‐ocean ridge or faults. They record the submarine hydrothermal activity between lithosphere and hydrosphere and are critical for understanding Fe cycling in marine environment. Fe was expelled from the hydrothermal vent systems and was oxidized and precipitated in the ambient seawater, where the precipitation of hydrothermal Fe is largely controlled by oxidation state of seawater and is potentially revealed by its Fe isotope compositions. This hydrothermal process in modern hydrothermal vent systems have been well observed, but that for the ancient ones are still not well known. Umbers, or ferromanganoan sediments, overlying Troodos ophiolite in Cyprus of Mid‐Cretaceous age thus provides an excellent example for understanding the Fe cycles in ancient submarine hydrothermal process. Samples were collected from Margi village in Troodos and are mostly amorphous Fe‐Mn oxy‐hydroxides with very minor quartz, goethite, smectite and silicates such as clinopyroxene derived from the volcanic rocks. There is no terrestrial, detrital component. Samples were analyzed for their whole‐rock element and Fe isotope compositions. The results show that samples are composed mainly of SiO2 (13∼80 wt%), Fe2O3 (9∼54 wt%) and MnO (1.5∼10.4 wt%), with minor Al2O3 (0.7∼4.3 wt%). PAAS‐normalized REE patterns are near flat with significantly negative Ce anomalies (Ce/Ce* is from 0.2 to 0.5) and slightly positive Eu anomalies (Eu/Eu* is around 1.1), indicating a source from the oxidized seawater and the high‐temperature hydrothermal fluids. δ56FeIRMM‐014 values of samples are ‐0.32‰ to ‐0.15‰, with an average of ‐0.20‰, which are consistent with those of the hydrothermal fluids previously reported. The narrow Fe isotope compositions of Cyprus umbers that are close to those of submarine hydrothermal fluids indicates near complete oxidation of hydrothermal Fe2+ during its expulsion from the hydrothermal vent.

Published: May 2019

AbstractWe report new δ13C ‐values data and N‐content and N‐aggregation state values for microdiamonds recovered from peridotites and chromitites of the Luobusa ophiolite (Tibet) and chromitites of the Ray‐Iz ophiolite in the Polar Urals (Russia). All analyzed microdiamonds contain significant nitrogen contents (from 108 up to 589 ± 20% atomic ppm) with a consistently low aggregation state, show identical IR spectra dominated by strong absorption between 1130 cm−1 and 1344 cm−1, and hence characterize Type Ib diamond. Microdiamonds from the Luobusa peridotites have δ13C ‐PDB‐values ranging from ‐28.7‰ to ‐16.9‰, and N‐contents from 151 to 589 atomic ppm. The δ13C and N‐content values for diamonds from the Luobusa chromitites are ‐29‰ to ‐15.5‰ and 152 to 428 atomic ppm, respectively. Microdiamonds from the Ray‐Iz chromitites show values varying from ‐27.6 ‰ to ‐21.6 ‰ in δ13C and from 108 to 499 atomic ppm in N. The carbon isotopes values bear similar features with previously analyzed metamorphic diamonds from other worldwide localities, but the samples are characterized by lower N‐contents. In every respect, they are different from diamonds occurring in kimberlites and impact craters. Our samples also differ from the few synthetic diamonds; we also analyzed showing enhanced δ13C ‐variability and less advanced aggregation state than synthetic diamonds. Our newly obtained N‐aggregation state and N‐content data are consistent with diamond formation over a narrow and rather cold temperature range (i.e. <950°C), and in a short residence time (i.e. within several million years) at high temperatures in the deep mantle.
