Large and artisanal scale mine development: The case for autonomous co-existence

Large Scale Terrain Modelling for Autonomous Mining

This thesis is concerned with development of a terrain model using Gaussian Processes to support the automation of open-pit mines. Information can be provided from a variety of sources including GPS, laser scans and manual surveys. The information is then fused together into a single representation of the terrain together with a measure of uncertainty of the estimated model. The model is also u...

Analysis of Large-scale Displacement Using Radar Interferometry Technology in Open-pit Mines (Case Study: Gol Gohar Sirjan Mine)

  Abstract Mines with their displacements cause damage to infrastructure and land, so it is important to control the displacement caused by mines. Also, the amount of minerals extracted from mines has always been of interest to managers. On the other hand, radar interferometry, given the production of repetitive and full images and the acceptable accuracy of this method, in examining be sugge...

the search for the self in becketts theatre: waiting for godot and endgame

this thesis is based upon the works of samuel beckett. one of the greatest writers of contemporary literature. here, i have tried to focus on one of the main themes in becketts works: the search for the real "me" or the real self, which is not only a problem to be solved for beckett man but also for each of us. i have tried to show becketts techniques in approaching this unattainable goal, base...

Large Scale Environmental Assessment and Degradation Management: The Case of Food Insecurity in Ethiopia

Algorithm Development for Large Scale Computing A Case Study

We present a case study examining the creation of an efficient preconditioner for solution of incompressible flow problems. We trace algorithm development from theoretical considerations, through initial implementation and testing, to parallel performance for large−scale systems. We demonstrate that early coupling of the development process with existing code can reduce debugging time and ease ...
