The Canary in the Coal Mine.

چکیده
Courage/Bravery—Bitty was determined to escape his cage and become free so that he could help the other canaries and the miners. He faced many dangers but never gave up fighting for what he believed. What causes would you fight for? What kind of power do you feel you have to change things that you think are unfair? Do you think that influencing legislators is a good way to change things? Why or why not?

Application of an integrated decision-making approach based on FDAHP and PROMETHEE for selection of optimal coal seam for mechanization; A case study of the Tazareh coal mine complex, Iran
Increasing the production rate and minimizing the related costs, while optimizing the safety measures, are nowadays’ most important tasks in the mining industry. To these ends, mechanization of mines could be applied, which can result in significant cost reductions and higher levels of profitability for underground mines. The potential of a coal mine mechanization depends on some important fact...
متن کاملInvestigating the effect of fractures on unusual gas emission in coal mines; case study of Parvadeh coal mine, Iran
In the present study, an investigation was carried out on Parvadeh coal mine in Tabas, Iran, to survey the effect of fractures on unusual methane gas emission in coal mines. This coal mine was chosen for investigating because of its high methane gas content in the coal body and available data from sensors in desired locations. Gas concentration monitoring programs were carried out at the mine s...
متن کاملImprovement of coal mine roof rating classification using fuzzy type-2
One of the main concerns of an underground coal mining engineer is the safety and stability of the mine. One way that the safety and stability can be ensured is to know and understand the coal mine geology and how it reacts to the mining process. One technique that has shown a lot of success in the coal mining industry for geologic technical evaluation purposes is the coal mine roof rating (CMR...
