This study characterises the total As concentrations and As bioaccessibility in 109 soils from Devon Great Consols Mine, an abandoned Cu-As mine in Devon, SW England, UK and discusses the soil and mineralogical factors that influence the bioaccessibility of this element. These data provide the basis for developing more accurate exposure estimates for use in human health risk assessments. The me...

Interactions between the MinD and MinE proteins are required for proper placement of the Escherichia coli division septum. The site within MinE that is required for interaction with MinD was mapped by studying the effects of site-directed minE mutations on MinD-MinE interactions in yeast two-hybrid and three-hybrid experiments. This confirmed that the MinE N-terminal domain is responsible for t...

The mechanical behaviour and seepage characteristics of coal under the mining engineering disturbance are great significance to prevent gas disasters. Based on geological conditions No. 12 mine China Pingdingshan Mining Group, experiments stress path roadway excavation were carried out. experimental result shows that: in fracture zone is most strongly affected by excavation. samples showed obvi...

Water inrush disasters from the coal seam floor occur frequently due to high water pressure of Ordovician limestone aquifer, multiple aquifers and strong mining disturbance. We presented a model water-resisting key strata (WRKS) investigate mechanism in deep mines. Roof hydraulic fracturing (RHF) for controlling multi-parameter monitoring were proposed validated Xingdong mine Xingtai, Hebei Pro...

the global investigation of disasters in recent years shows that their number has increased annually and the number of affected people and costs of disasters are increasing

Intensive and large-scale underground coal mining has caused geological disasters such as local ground subsidence, cracks collapse in the Datong coalfield, China, inducing serious threats to residents. Interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) capability of surface deformation detection with high precision vast mountainous areas. DInSAR, stacking-InSAR SBAS-InSAR are commonly used InSAR-...

Various mine detection techniques are reviewed with particular emphasis on signal and image processing methods. Based on the target, mines are classified into two types; anti-tank mine (ATM) and anti-personnel mine (APM). Because of the variety of mine types, current mine detection techniques are diversified. The assumption is made that most mine detection techniques consist of sensor, signal p...

In this work, a safe Coal Mine Monitoring system which replaces the traditional coal mine monitoring systems which tend to be wired network systems. This play an important role in coal mine safe production. With continuous enlarging of exploiting areas and extension of depth in coal mine, many laneways become monitoring blind areas, where are lots of hidden dangers. Moreover, it is inconvenient...

Researchers have worked on routing issues for adhoc-networks, VANET’s, and Wireless Sensor Networks in a normal scenario; recently there has been a recent trend towards the study on underground wireless networks and proposals for design and development for Wireless Underground Sensor Networks. This paper highlights the concept of wireless underground sensor network in the coal mine environment,...
