4/1/2010 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis study used the MSHA database on accidents, injury, and illness from the years 2003-2007 to examine how age and experience at the current mine, total years experience as a coal miner, and experience in the current job affects injury severity.
-
1/1/2010 - Peer reviewed journal articlesAn understanding of the geologic and stress conditions which lead to roof falls is necessary to assess the risk of failure and to design roof reinforcement to improve stability.
-
1/1/2010 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper looks at historical descriptions of bumps with regional scale, in the hope that by investigating dynamic failure modes with potential to create the next disaster, that disaster might be averted.
-
12/1/2009 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis document highlights NIOSH's research and recommendations concerning refuge alternatives, survivability evaluations of refuge chambers, and presents a brief review of the current deployment of refuge chambers in underground coal mines in the U.S.
-
12/1/2009 - Peer reviewed journal articlesA new approach was tested and it was demonstrated that it could be used for prediction of elastic and shear moduli of coal-measure rocks with reasonable accuracy.
-
9/1/2009 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis study investigates how limestone rock dust prevents the propagation of coal dust explosions by assessing its changes in chemical composition.
-
8/1/2009 - Peer reviewed journal articlesNIOSH conducted a statistical study of available data regarding frictional ignitions in the United States from 1983 to 2005 to determine and define conditions controlling their occurrence.
-
3/1/2009 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis study presents reservoir and elastic properties of coal measure rocks in the Lower Monongahela Group in Greene County, southwestern Pennsylvania, with results that can be used as data sources for reservoir studies related to methane control.
-
