The mXrap team will often ask you to perform a "default backup" when providing support, or if you're adding new apps. This allows us to work on your root in the same state you're using it in, so any settings or customisations are visible to us. It is good practice to do default backups regularly, as it makes it easier to identify or roll back any breaking changes. We recommend that a single device is used to manage the root folder in mXsync to prevent confusion. This device should be logged in to mXsync and would be responsible for completing all backups and applying patches.

There are a number of essential and useful downloads available to mXrap users. Listed below are the most frequently downloaded files.

Energy and moment are two independent measures of the strength of a seismic event. Their physical meaning and how they are calculated was described in a previous post. Analysis of the relationship between the energy and moment of events can provide insight into seismic sources. For example, blasts or ore pass noise, falsely processed as real events, tend to have distinct zones on an energy-moment chart. In general, events with higher-than-average energy are associated with high relative stress.

The Hazard Assessment application uses a grid-based approach to describe the seismic hazard throughout your mine. Each grid point essentially represents a seismic source with a specific frequency-magnitude relationship. A frequency-magnitude relationship is defined from the $M$, $Mmin$, $b$-value, and event rate. We've previously delved into $M{UL}$ in this post. We also discussed how $Mmin$ and $b$-value are calculated along with other gridding parameters in this post. The event rate is something we haven't taken a dive into yet, so we'll get into it in this post.

You know that energy and moment are parameters to describe seismic events. But what exactly is their physical meaning for a seismic event source and how are they calculated?

A new window has been added to the Hazard Assessment app (Figure 1). The sensitivity analysis aims to quantify the effect of the variation of the input parameters on the hazard. These analyses can also help the user to determine the optimal settings to use for many of the parameters. This window allows the user to vary only one parameter at the time.

A stochastic declustering algorithm has been implemented in mXrap to separate events into 'clustered' and 'background' components. It can be useful when designing seismic exclusions and re-entry procedures to separate seismicity that occurs in short bursts from seismicity that has low variability in space and time. Short-term exclusions cannot be used to manage the risk associated with background seismicity, since the hazard inside a potential exclusion would be the same as outside the exclusion. Efficient exclusion and re-entry procedures target areas where seismicity is most clustered and where the seismic hazard to which people are exposed can be reduced with a short disruption to production.
