Considerable fracturing occurs around the deep mine stopes because of the mining induced stresses superimposed on the high overburden stresses encountered at these depths. The frequency and orientation of fracturing is largely affected by the presence of geological structures, as well as the stope layout and mining configurations. Being able to accurately predict the effect of these interfaces ...

Coal seams ascending mining technology is very significant, since it influences the safety production and the liberation of dull coal, speeds up the construction of energy, improves the stability of stope, and reduces or avoids deep hard rock mining induced mine disaster. Combined with the Xiaoming ascending mining mine 4-1, by numerical calculation, the paper analyses ascending mining 4-1 fact...

It is imperative for organizations to use Information Security Management System (ISMS) to effectively manage their information assets. ISMS starts with a set of policies that dictate the usage of computer resources. It starts with the “21 essential security controls” of ISO 27001, which give the basic standard requirements of information security management. Our research is concerned with the ...

An epidemiological investigation was carried out to determine the relationship between silicosis in hardrock miners in Ontario and cumulative exposure to silica (free crystalline silica--alpha quartz) dust. This second report describes a side-by-side air-sampling program used to derive a konimeter/gravimetric silica conversion curve. A total of 2,360 filter samples and 90,000 konimeter samples ...

As the utilization range of smart devices for infrastructure has widen its application owing to flourishing of smart devices, studies on the technologies to graft IT onto underground utilities are actively carried out. In particular, as underground utilities have a characteristic of invisibility, studies on a management system converged with augmented reality are demanded for the efficient mana...
