The two primary measures of land mine detection performance are the probability of detection Pd and the probability of false alarm Pfa.These two measures are highly interdependent and must be evaluated together. The relationship between the two probabilities directly a ects the overall performance of the sensor in the eld. In this paper we introduce a novel false alarm non-parametric lter based...

Australia has seen substantial changes to its framework of mine ventilation legislation, statutory mining qualifications and ventilation training over the past 15 years. This has been driven by a number of factors including: advances in underground mining technology, shortages of professionals, fly-in, fly-out (FIFO) arrangements on many sites, the ascendancy of the “risk assessment” philosophy...

Generally, an effective ventilation system is essential to reduce coal dust disaster. However, with the implementation of carbon tax and increase of energy and operating costs, it is urgent to design a cost-effective ventilation and dust control system. In this paper, a real driving face in an excavation laneway of coal mine in China was taken as the physical model, and the temporospatial chara...

determining the distribution of heavy metals in groundwater is important in developing appropriate management strategies at mine sites. in this paper, the application of artificial intelligence (ai) methods to data analysis,namely artificial neural network (ann), hybrid ann with biogeography-based optimization (ann-bbo), and multi-output adaptive neural fuzzy inference system (manfis) to estima...
