Mine Water Resource Utilization

Mine, mine, mine: information theory, infostation networks, and resource sharing

The Infostations wireless data network architecture features discontinuous coverage and ultra-high radio rates for burst transfers of information between base and mobile. It has been shown previously that the infostations architecture can greatly increase the capacity of wireless data systems at the expense of increased delivery delay. In this work we explicitly consider the multiple access iss...

Land Utilization and Water Resource Inventories over Extended Test Sites

Reliable Mine Water Technology

Mine planning, permitting and operation require reliable water technology in all its aspects: water inflow, water use, water disposal and discharge, and water impact. Mine water evaluations are relied upon by mining companies, mine regulators and the public to determine whether the mine is technically feasible, optimally designed, financially sound, socially acceptable, and environmentally beni...

Measuring Resource Utilization

A variety of methods may be used to obtain costing data. Although administrative data are most commonly used, the data available in these datasets are often limited. An alternative method of obtaining costing is through self-reported questionnaires. Currently, there are no systematic reviews that summarize self-reported resource utilization instruments from the published literature.The aim of t...

Reconciling resource utilization and resource selection functions.

1. Analyses based on utilization distributions (UDs) have been ubiquitous in animal space use studies, largely because they are computationally straightforward and relatively easy to employ. Conventional applications of resource utilization functions (RUFs) suggest that estimates of UDs can be used as response variables in a regression involving spatial covariates of interest. 2. It has been cl...
