• Optimizing Secondary Roof Support with the NIOSH Support Technology Optimization Program (STOP)
  8/1/2000 - Conference papers
  The 1990s saw an unprecedented increase in technologies for more effective, easier to install roof support in underground mines. To facilitate application and improve mine safety, NIOSH developed the Support Technology Optimization Program (STOP).
• Predicting System Interactions in the Design Process
  9/1/1999 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  Almost every process has a predecessor, and studying the predecessor helps to define needs and shortcomings to be addressed. This paper illustrates how such an approach was used to assess remote machine operation in underground coal mines.
