Thermal stress in North Western Australian iron ore mining staff.
INTRODUCTION Demand for Australian mined iron ore has increased employment within this sector, thus exposing increased numbers of workers to the harsh Australian climate. This study examined the influence of hot (>30°C wet bulb globe temperature) environmental temperatures, consistent with working in North Western Australia, on iron ore mining staff. METHODS Core temperature, hydration status...
متن کاملHigh-Technology Industries and Market Structure
The term “New Economy’’ refers to a golden, or at least gilded, age in the late 1990s that was driven by optimism about the financial prospects for information technology (IT). There were three back-toback investment shocks during this period: telecommunications deregulation in 1996, the “year 2K’’ problem in 1998-1999, and the “dot.com’’ boom in 1999-2000. These events stimulated significant i...
متن کاملHazardous solid waste from metallurgical industries.
Types of land disposed residuals from selected metal smelting and refining industries are described, as are the origin and disposition of land disposed residuals from the primary copper industry as an example. Quantities of land-disposed or stored residuals, including slags, sludges, and dusts, are given per unit of metal production for most primary and secondary metal smelting and refining ind...
متن کاملStrategic Behaviour in International Metallurgical Coal Markets
This paper analyses whether prices and trade-flows in the international market for metallurgical coals were subject to non-competitive conduct in the period 2008 to 2010. To do so, I develop mathematical programming models – a Stackelberg model, two varieties of a Cournot model, and a perfect competition model – for computing spatial equilibria in international resource markets. Results are ana...
متن کاملDivision of Economics and Business Working Paper Series Cyclical and Secular Determinants of Productivity in the Copper, Aluminum, Iron Ore, and Coal Industries
Over the past decade both labor and multifactor productivity have fallen in copper, iron ore, coal, and many other mining operations, causing production costs to rise. This decline, following years of rising productivity, has led many to conclude that new technology can no longer offset the adverse effects of resource depletion. As a result, real mineral commodity prices will be permanently hig...
