abstract

this paper discusses some of the fundamental considerations when managing mining slopes. the goal of management is to reduce all components that contribute to the geotechnical risk and by doing so reduce the risk to as low as reasonably achievable. the techniques and procedures suggested are not exhaustive; they represent a snapshot of some of the practical techniques the author has found useful for a range of scenarios.

the clustering and classification data mining techniques in insurance fraud detection:the case of iranian car insurance

با توجه به گسترش روز افزون تقلب در حوزه بیمه به خصوص در بخش بیمه اتومبیل و تبعات منفی آن برای شرکت های بیمه، به کارگیری روش های مناسب و کارآمد به منظور شناسایی و کشف تقلب در این حوزه امری ضروری است. درک الگوی موجود در داده های مربوط به مطالبات گزارش شده گذشته می تواند در کشف واقعی یا غیرواقعی بودن ادعای خسارت، مفید باشد. یکی از متداول ترین و پرکاربردترین راه های کشف الگوی داده ها استفاده از ر...

Comparing Three Data Mining Algorithms for Identifying the Associated Risk Factors of Type 2 Diabetes

Background: Increasing the prevalence of type 2 diabetes has given rise to a global health burden and a concern among health service providers and health administrators. The current study aimed at developing and comparing some statistical models to identify the risk factors associated with type 2 diabetes. In this light, artificial neural network (ANN), support vector machines (SVMs), and multi...

Using Simulation for Reducing Risk of a Mining Optimization Project

The use of simulation in a project management can illustrate visual display of the project objective and the process virtually but realistically. This paper investigates the valid benefits of using simulation technique for a Mining and Iron Production Factory (MIPF) project. It is believed by the author that mining activity is particularly subject to more risks than other business activities be...
