  Deposits of the Warchha Sandstone in the Salt Range, Pakistan are characterised by a range of fluvial facies and architectural elements that together preserve a record of both the proximal and distal parts of a meandering river system that drained the northern margin of Gondwanaland. Several fining-upward cycles are recognised and completely preserved cycles can be divided in to three parts; a lower part composed of an erosive base with gravel- and coarse sand-grade trough cross-bedded facies, a middle part composed of planar cross-bedded, ripple cross-laminated and horizontally laminated sandstone facies, and an upper part composed predominantly of horizontally laminated and massive mudstone facies. Nine architectural elements are recognised within these cycles and these record the presence of channels, downstream and laterally accreting barforms, laminated sand sheets, crevasse splays, levees, over-bank floodplain units and shallow lakes. A broad range of sedimentary structures is recognised, including different forms of bedding, cross bedding, ripple marks and stratification, channels, flute casts, load casts, desiccation cracks, rain prints, conein- cone structures, a variety of concretions and bioturbation. The occurrence and abundance of these structures varies in a systematic manner throughout the vertical thickness of the succession. Cross bedding is the most prominent and consistent sedimentary structure, including various trough and planar varieties. The clasts are mainly of plutonic and low-grade metamorphic origin, with an additional minor sedimentary component. Textural properties of the sandstone are fine- to coarse-grained, poorly to moderately sorted, sub-angular to sub-rounded and with generally loose packing. Based on modal analyses, the sandstone is dominantly a sub-arkose to arkose. Detrital constituents of this formation are mainly composed of monocrystalline quartz, feldspars (more K-feldspar than plagioclase) and various types of lithic clasts. XRD and SEM studies indicate that kaolinite is the dominant clay mineral. Detailed palaeocurrent analysis reveals a broad unimodal palaeocurrent pattern within each cycle but significant changes in local migration direction between each vertically stacked cycle, supporting the notion of a high-sinuosity system with an overall dominant flow direction to the north-northwest. Petrographic analysis indicates the provenance of the Warchha Sandstone to have been the Aravalli Range to the southeast and the Malani Range to the south of the Salt Range, suggesting northward transport across a broad alluvial plain towards the margin of the Tethys Ocean in the north.

  Siliciclastic sediments of Ilanqareh Formation in Ilanlu section with Upper Devonan (Famenian) age,are composed of varicolored sandstones and interlayerd dark-colored shales. Petrographic andgeochemical studies reveal that these sandstones have a quartzarenitic composition. The provenance,weathering and tectonic setting of the sandstones of Ilanlu section have been assesed usinggeochemical studies. Geochemical study (major and trace elements) show that the sandstones of Ilanlusection sourced from cratonic provenance and affected by warm and humid paleoclimate conditionsand finally deposited in a passive margin tectonic setting. With attention to paleogeographicalconditions of Iran at late Devonian (northern margin of the Gondwana supercontinent) and location ofAzerbaijan (forehead of southern coast of the Paleo-Tethys), hypothesis of entrance of sediments fromsouthern parts (Arabian-Nubian Shield) and extremely their deposition on a passive margin of thePaleo-Tethys ocean, is considered.

  As users in an online social network are overwhelmed by the abundant amount of information, it is very hard to retrieve the preferred or required content. In this context, an online recommender system helps to filter and recommend content such as people,items or services. But, in a real scenario, people rely more on recommendations from trusted sources than distrusting sources. Though, there are many trust based recommender systems that exist, it lag in prediction error. In order to improve the accuracy of the prediction, this paper proposes a Trust-Boosted Recommender System (TBRS). Since, the provenance derives the trust in a better way than other approaches, TBRS is built from the provenance concept. The proposed recommender system takes the provenance based fuzzy rules which were derived from the Fuzzy Decision Tree. TBRS then computes the multi-attribute vector similarity score and boosts the score with trust weight. This system is tested on the book-review dataset to recommend the top-k trustworthy reviewers.The performance of the proposed method is evaluated in terms of MAE and RMSE. The result shows that the error value of boosted similarity is lesser than without boost. The reduced error rates of the Jaccard, Dice and Cosine similarity measures are 18%, 15% and 7% respectively. Also, when the model is subjected to failure analysis, it gives better performance for unskewed data than slewed data. The models fbest, average and worst case predictions are 90%, 50% and <23% respectively. Manuscript profile
