BACKGROUND In this study, our aim was to evaluate the fatal occupational accidents that occurred in Zonguldak coal mines between the years 2005-2008. MATERIAL AND METHODS We retrospectively evaluated 42 fatal coal mine occupational accidents in Zonguldak (Turkey) between the years 2005-2008. The forensic records of autopsies referred to the chief prosecutors' office during 2005-2008 were revi...

Designing or reengineering class models in the domain of programming or modeling involves capturing technical and domain concepts, finding the right abstractions and avoiding duplications. Making this last task in a systematic way corresponds to a kind of model normalization. Several approaches have been proposed, that all converge towards the use of Formal Concept Analysis (FCA). An extension ...

Power tillers are very simple and versatile machines with large scale diffusion in developing countries, where they are commonly used both for agriculture and for transportation purposes. A new integrated participatory approach that makes use of and improves local end-users knowledge has been used to design a new robotic system for humanitarian demining applications in Sri Lanka, using power ti...

This paper reviews the 100-year history of federal electrical safety research in the U.S mining industry, originally by the US Bureau of Mines, and as carried on today by NIOSH. First, there is a brief historical review of the use of electrical power in mining and an examination of the associated shock, fire, and explosion hazards. These hazards were the impetus for government intervention to i...

Cancer is a complex multifactorial disease state and the ability to anticipate and steer treatment results will require information synthesis across multiple scales from the host to the molecular level. Radiomics and Pathomics, where image features are extracted from routine diagnostic Radiology and Pathology studies, are also evolving as valuable diagnostic and prognostic indicators in cancer....

sarcheshmeh copper mine, with the final reserves of 828 million tons of sulfur ore and average grade of 0.74%, is known to be the largest open pit of iran and most probably the second largest copper mine in the world. this mine is located in the seismotectonic zone of central-iran, and 23 km away from the 150 km long rafsanjan active fault.in this study the vulnerability of the west wall of the...

We build on our earlier results (DE-FC52-06NA27324, Dreger et al., 2008; Ford et al., 2010; Ford et al., 2009a, b; Ford et al., 2008) in which it has been demonstrated that regional distance moment tensor analysis can discriminate explosions from naturally occurring earthquakes and mine collapses. In this project, as an effort to refine procedures for implementation we develop a more complete u...

ABSTRACT I analyse some properties of the luminous transient event SN 2019zrk and conclude that jets were main powering sources pre-explosion outburst (pre-cursor) ejection a massive circumstellar matter (CSM), very energetic explosion itself, post-explosion bump in light curve. The energy source is mainly companion (main sequence, Wolf–Rayet, neutron star, or black hole) star accreted mass lau...
