Metal price is one of the most important parameters in the calculation of cut- off grade. The cut- off grade has the main role in determination of mine layout. Mine layout actuates mineable reserve, mine life and economic profitability. Not considering the uncertainty in metal prices can lead to a non-optimal layout. In this paper optimum underground mine layout is determined by expected utilit...

ABSTRACT The reasons of the risk of city underground logistics system are discribed from three aspects of technology, careerman and environment,the risk evaluation index system is constructed based on the method of analytic hierarchy process,the Grey Analytic Hierarchy model is established and the feasibility and validity of this evaluation model is verified by using it in the risk assessment o...

Aerial and underground parts of Geum rivale (Rosaceae) were investigated. Tiliroside, gallic acid, ellagic acid and a sterol fraction were isolated from aerial parts of the plant. The sterol fraction was analyzed using GC-MS. Eleven phenolic acids were identified in aerial parts of the plant, and eight in underground parts, by means of RP-HPLC analysis. The quantitative determination of phenoli...

We modified further our extended dynamic model of a geyser induced by an inflow of gas, by taking into consideration the effects during spouting of an elbow shape, pairs of sudden expansions and contractions, and repeats of this shape in an underground watercourse. Through numerical simulations of this extended dynamic model, we see that a large number of sudden expansions and contractions or a...

The Main Injector Neutrino Oscillation Search (MINOS) experiment’s Far Detector has been operational since July 2003, taking cosmic ray and atmospheric neutrino data from its location in the Soudan Mine Underground Lab. Numerous neutrino-induced muons have been observed. The detector’s magnetic field allows the first determination by a large underground detector of muon charge and thus neutrino...

We consider the cross section limits for light dark matter candidates (m = 0.4 to 10 GeV). We calculate the interaction of dark matter in the crust above underground dark matter detectors and find that in the intermediate cross section range, the energy loss of dark matter is sufficient to fall below the energy threshold of current underground experiments. This implies the existence of a window...
