3/1/1998 - Conference papersThis paper describes a relatively simple indirect model for the parametric water injection process to extinguish diesel fuel fires in underground mine diesel refueling areas.
-
2/1/1998 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis exercise is a research tool that measures miners' proficiency in the information-gathering and decision-making skills related to escaping from a mine fire. It also helps miners to learn and practice these cognitive skills.

9/1/1997 - Conference papersThe research reported here is an attempt to quantify the fire protection offered by four inches of red oak and other materials.
-
5/1/1997 - Reports of InvestigationsThe article discusses the applicability of computerized signal analysis techniques to identify fault currents existing on coal mine direct-current trolley systems
-
2/1/1997 - Conference papersReport on a series of diesel fuel fire experiments were conducted in the Pittsburgh Research Center's Safety Research Coal mine (SRCM) to determine products-of-combustion (POC) spread rates along a single entry under zero imposed airflow conditions.
-
5/1/1996 - Conference papersThe characteristics of leaders under the duress of an emergency are important in the development of emergency planning, training, and in the management of an actual emergency. The U.S. Bureau of Mines analyzed the leadership behavior in three undergroun...
