Deep sea mining tailings disposal is a new environmental challenge related to water pollution, mineral crust waste handling, and ocean biology. The objective of this paper is to propose a new tailings disposal procedure for the deep sea mining industry. Through comparisons of the tailings disposal methods which exist in on-land mining and the coastal mining fields, a new tailings disposal proce...

Climate change is one of the most important issues affecting different economic sectors. Although this phenomenon has had a larger effect on the agricultural sector due to the heavy dependence of agriculture on weather conditions as compared to the other economic sectors, other economic sectors such as the industry, mining and service sectors are also influenced by weather changes due to their ...

Self-regulation by firms and industries in relation to the environmental impact they cause is by no means a substitute for more traditional regulation of environmental externalities. However, in some instances self-regulatory efforts are undertaken not just to present a responsible image to the world, but involve instead very specific actions that may serve to reduce externalities for a specifi...

This paper presents a tool for web usage mining. The aim is centered on providing a tool that facilitates the mining process rather than implement elaborated algorithms and techniques. The tool covers different phases of the CRISP-DM methodology as data preparation, data selection, modeling and evaluation. The algorithms used in the modeling phase are those implemented in the Weka project. The ...

Silicosis from secondary exposure is not often reported. This is the first such report of a child with possible silicosis attributable to secondary exposure to sandstone mining in India. Silicosis from secondary exposure has been reported in the gem polishing and slate pencil manufacturing industries in India; however, the stone-mining industry is severely under-researched. No preventive measur...

rajasthan is one of the main mineral potential state of india. during the last 30 years it has witnessed enormous expansion of mining industries, but mining of most of the minor minerals coupled with changing climate has posed serious problems to the environmental fabric in the state, apart from base metal beneficiation plants. groundwater is also being polluted day-by-day by effluents generate...

Data acquisition and maintenance to any industry is multiplying at an enormous speed. In any industry the produced data is not only massive but also quite complex. As a result, proper handling of data is of prime importance in order to convert the available data into useful information that leads to knowledge and apposite decision making. Use of data mining in the healthcare industry is proving...
