Georelief Transfiguration in Areas Affected by Open-cast Mining
Open-cast mining activity is causing the largest georelief transfigurations all over the World. In our conditions are affected large localities in the North-west Bohemia (the Czech Republic). In this area we focus on a very significant case of the royal town Most, where a town has been turned into a lake. The main aim of this paper is the reconstruction of the original georelief in different ti...
متن کاملAssessment of DNA damage in coal open-cast mining workers using the cytokinesis-blocked micronucleus test and the comet assay.
Coal mining is one of the most important causes of environmental pollution, as large quantities of coal dust particles are emitted. Colombia-South America has large natural coal reserves and "El Cerrejón" is the world's largest open-cast mine located in the northern department of Guajira. The aim of the present study was to evaluate genotoxic effects in a population exposed to coal residues fro...
متن کاملAn Uncertainty-based Transition from Open Pit to Underground Mining
There are some large scale orebodies that extend from surface to the extreme depths of the ground. Such orebodies should be extracted by a combination of surface and underground mining methods. Economically, it is highly important to know the limit of upper and lower mining activities. This concern leads the mine designers to the transition problem, which is one of the most complicated problems...
متن کاملE-CAST: A Data Mining Algorithm for Gene Expression Data
Data clustering methods have been proven to be a successful data mining technique in the analysis of gene expression data. The Cluster affinity search technique (CAST) developed by Ben-Dor, et. al., 1999, which has been shown to cluster gene expression data well, has two drawbacks. First, the algorithm uses a fixed initial threshold value to start the clustering. As stated in the original paper...
متن کاملConsultations of children living near open-cast coal mines.
Because of local concerns, general practitioner consultation rates in children living in communities close to and away from open-cast mines were compared. Information on consultations was collected on 2,442 children 1-11 years of age living in five socioeconomically matched pairs of open-cast and control communities in northern England. The data collection periods were 6 weeks each during 1996-...
