Results 61 - 70 of 975
-
11/1/2008 - Information CircularsThe results of NIOSH's test of two commercially available proximity warning devices (PWDs) are presented. PWDs warn personnel if mobile equipment moves within some preselected minimum distance of an energized overhead electrical power line.
-
11/1/2008 - Reports of InvestigationsA joint MSHA and NIOSH study simulated actual coal mine explosion accidents to evaluate blast effects on typical U.S. mine ventilation stoppings, and presents construction and testing methods, explosion test data, and post-explosion conditions.
-
11/1/2008 - Reports of InvestigationsNIOSH experimentally investigated various factor effects on cab air filtration system performance.
-
10/1/2008 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper describes the testing and reliability of results of a NIOSH developed Coal Dust Explosibility Meter (CDEM), a hand-held instrument that uses optical reflectance to measure the explosibility of a rock dust and coal dust mixture.
-
9/1/2008 - Conference papersThis paper summarizes recent accomplishments in a research program that is addressing mine fire prevention, detection, management, and suppression, and provides an overview of the next phase of the NIOSH mine fire research program.
-
9/1/2008 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis study uses reservoir simulations to illustrate the effects of impermeable faults on the production performance of vertical and horizontal degasification boreholes.
-
9/1/2008 - Technology NewsThis publication describes research conducted by NIOSH on producing treatments to reduce noise generated by the continuous mining machine conveyor system. The treatments discussed are the urethane-coated flight bar chain and the dual-sprocket chain.
-
8/1/2008 - Peer reviewed journal articlesTo provide insights for the optimization of bleederless ventilation systems for U.S. underground coal mines, a computational fluid dynamics study was conducted to model spontaneous heating in longwall gob areas using a bleederless ventilation system.
-
6/1/2008 - Conference papersAn alternative method to the original system developed by NIOSH and Unimin Corp to provide for a stand-alone clothes cleaning system.
-
6/1/2008 - Conference papersThis paper describes the results of a NIOSH borehole monitoring experiment (BME) on an active longwall panel.
