2/1/2010 - Conference papersThis paper will describe the progress made in mine fire safety through the history of the Bureau of Mines and NIOSH Mining program.
-
11/1/2009 - Conference papersIn this paper, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling results for both bleeder and bleederless ventilation systems are presented and the difference between two systems is discussed.
-
11/1/2008 - Conference papersThis paper discusses the development of a thesaurus of mining-related terms. This thesaurus will be used to index NIOSH Mining web site content to facilitate searching that content.
-
9/1/2006 - Conference papersDiscusses past NIOSH research that has helped to reduce hazards, accidents, and health issues in mining, as well as current NIOSH research priorities and the impact of the MINER Act of 2006.
-
10/1/2005 - Conference papersThis paper provides an overview of the NIOSH hearing loss prevention program being conducted at NIOSH PRL.
-
6/1/2004 - Conference papersNIOSH researchers have identified a pattern of fracture zone development as an explanation for fracture formation around rectangular openings in underground mines. Two computer modeling codes were used to model different aspects of this pattern.
-
10/1/2003 - Conference papersMiners, like many skilled blue-collar workers, are not traditional learners. They have not always been successful in classroom-type settings, preferring to learn on the job in a hands-on environment.
-
7/1/2003 - Conference papersThis study indicates that it may be possible to use ground penetrating radar (GPR) for initial underground mine studies followed by directional drilling to accurately delineate the extent and position of adjacent abandoned mine workings.
-
11/1/2002 - Conference papersThis study of the Chestnut Ridge Anticline found that high levels of horizontal stress are to be expected and that local geologic and topographic structures can alter the magnitude and possibly the orientation of the horizontal stress field.
