In the Land Down Under, our software is used by the Rockburst Risk Management research project at the Australian Centre for Geomechanics.
The Western Australian mining industry is facing the challenge of dealing with mines that are increasingly seismically active. Rockbursts, which could be one result of the release of seismic energy, put both mine viability and safety at risk. To development mine design strtegies that account for these seismic events, Professor Yves Potvin and Mr Marty Hudyma created the Mine Seismicity and Risk Analysis Program (MS-RAP) using the Qt tool kit, KD Chart and our extensive API.
The MS-RAP connects to and charts seismic activity in databases with as many as 20,000 datapoints. The MS-RAP has a menu driven interface that gives geologists and other scientists the flexibility to view data in the format that is most useful to them.
The designers of MS-RAP not only built in this required flexibility, but by using the Qt tool kit, KD Chart and our detailed API, they have the ability to creat a program that is standardized, bug free and portable.
Visualizing Flood Events
Elbe Flood 2002
Several federal and state authorities as well as research institutes in Germany are currently monitoring the spreading of the Elbe flood in the German Bight to get better knowledge about the environmental consequences of the flood.
Scientists needed a flexible way to display their data, but they didn't want to write their code from scratch. That's where our Qt add-ons came into play. Using the extended Line Chart capabilities with flexible cell-specific properties our software is ideal for visualizing flood events of different kinds. These charts helped German scientists pinpoint the worst flooding, and institute pollution control and flood mitigation.
First results from surveys during August and September 2002 revealed that the Elbe flood had only little short-term effects on the water quality in the German Bight and the Wadden Sea.
