BEDD: The MineRL BASALT Evaluation and Demonstrations Dataset for Training and Benchmarking Agents that Solve Fuzzy Tasks [PDF]
The MineRL BASALT competition has served to catalyze advances in learning from human feedback through four hard-to-specify tasks in Minecraft, such as create and photograph a waterfall. Given the completion of two years of BASALT competitions, we offer to the community a formalized benchmark through the BASALT Evaluation and Demonstrations Dataset ...

New 40Ar/39Ar dating of the Grande Ronde lavas, Columbia River Basalts, USA: Implications for duration of flood basalt eruption episodes [PDF]
Grande Ronde Basalt (GRB) lavas represent the most voluminous eruptive pulse of the Columbia River-Snake River-Yellowstone hotspot volcanism. With an estimated eruptive volume of 150,000 km3, GRB lavas form at least 66% of the total volume of the ...

Constraints on Compound Chondrule Formation from Laboratory High-Temperature Collisions [PDF]
In laboratory experiments, spherical 1 mm-wide glass and basalt particles are heated, and the hot particles collide at about 1m/s with a flat glass target that is at room temperature. When the particles are heated below 900 K, the collisions are essentially elastic with coefficients of restitution of about 0.9, but above 900K collisions become ...

Zircon survival in shallow asthenosphere and deep lithosphere [PDF]
Zircon is the most frequently used mineral for dating terrestrial and extraterrestrial rocks. However, the system of zircon in mafic/ultramafic melts has been rarely explored experimentally and most existing models based on the felsic, intermediate and/or synthetic systems are probably not applicable for prediction of zircon survival in terrestrial ...

Investigating Tensile Behavior of Sustainable Basalt–Carbon, Basalt–Steel, and Basalt–Steel-Wire Hybrid Composite Bars [PDF]
One of the main disadvantages of steel bars is rebar corrosion, especially when they are exposed to aggressive environmental conditions such as marine environments. One of the suggested ways to solve this problem is to use composite bars. However, the use of these bars is ambiguous due to some weaknesses, such as low modulus of elasticity and linear ...

Fast assimilation of serpentinized mantle by basaltic magma [PDF]
The most abundant terrestrial lavas, mid-ocean ridge and ocean island basalt (MORB and OIB), are commonly considered to be derived from a depleted MORB-mantle component and more specific, variably enriched mantle plume sources. However, findings of oceanic lavas and mafic cumulates issued from melts, enriched in chlorine and having a radiogenic Sr ...

Mineralogy of northern nearside mare basalts [PDF]
The mineralogy of mare basalts reflects the chemical composition of the magma source, as well as the physical and chemical environment of the rock's formation. It is significant for understanding the thermal evolution of the Moon. In this study, the spatial distribution of the mineralogy of the lunar northern nearside basalts was mapped using the Moon ...
