2/1/2009 - Conference papersThis paper describes the fire tests, provides insight into characteristics of flame spread, and presents the CFD modeling work results of tests to help determine the characteristics for deep-seated fires.
-
1/1/2009 - Conference papersThis paper introduces two position adjustment methods for mine tracking systems which use a coplanar node-path network mine model as the foundation for their development.
-
11/1/2008 - Conference papersThis paper discusses the changes that new legislation and regulations are making to the industry and current research that is producing technologies to make mining safer and will likely impact the future of mining in the U.S.

11/1/2008 - Conference papersThis work by NIOSH has modelled the impacts of borehole pattern and design and the effects of increasing face length on gob gas venthole performance.
-
9/1/2008 - Conference papersThis paper presents an overview of dust controls typically utilized in underground U.S. coal mines and an update of ongoing NIOSH PRL research efforts that are evaluating new control technologies.
-
7/1/2008 - Conference papersThis paper examines catastrophic failures of evaporite mines (including salt, potash and trona) that show that violent failure does, in fact, occur and attempts to identify common factors and characterize the mechanism of failure.
-
6/1/2008 - Conference papersThis paper describes research conducted to compare the performance, including response time and accuracy, of selected instruments using infrared and catalytic sensors.
-
6/1/2008 - Conference papersThis paper describes a portable device developed by NIOSH for measuring levels of elemental carbon in real time.
-
11/1/2007 - Conference papersThis paper presents a summary of remote mine firefighting technologies used in U.S. underground coal mines and the results of completed NIOSH research in that area.
