Sampling and analysis method for measuring airborne coal dust mass in mixtures with limestone (rock) dust.
Airborne coal dust mass measurements in underground bituminous coal mines can be challenged by the presence of airborne limestone dust, which is an incombustible dust applied to prevent the propagation of dust explosions. To accurately measure the coal portion of this mixed airborne dust, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) developed a sampling and analysis protoco...
متن کاملA Sequential Sampling Procedure for Stochastic Programming
We develop a sequential sampling procedure for a class of stochastic programs. We assume that a sequence of feasible solutions with an optimal limit point is given as input to our procedure. Such a sequence can be generated by solving a series of sampling problems with increasing sample size, or it can be found by any other viable method. Our procedure estimates the optimality gap of a candidat...
متن کاملA Sequential Sampling Procedure for Genetic Algorithms
In this paper, we apply sequential decision theory for scheduling tests in genetic algorithms and investigate an efficient sampling procedure for improving its performance. We use a loss function specifically defined for our analysis and obtain sequential decision equations for the optimal procedure. We derive simplified equations so that the procedure can be applied in practice. Finally, we co...
متن کاملMeasuring dust on skin with a small vacuuming sampler--a comparison with other sampling techniques.
Airborne skin exposure to allergens and irritants may cause dermatitis. There are few methods for assessing skin exposure to airborne particles. We have modified and tested a vacuuming sampler for removing particles from the skin. The sampler was compared with two other skin and surface exposure sampling techniques. These were based on surrogate skin (a patch sampler-adhesive tape on an optical...
متن کاملIndustrial Dust Diseases
Pneumoconiosis is a notifiable industrial disease where a patient develops the disease, their doctor must notify their employer in writing with the patient's consent. The employer then is duty-bound to inform the local Health and Safety Executive (HSE). Pneumoconiosis is also a prescribed industrial disease. Financial compensation may be available where an individual is able to show they worked...
