-
10/6/2014 - Contracts and cooperative agreementsA contract to evaluate a fiber optic sprinkler head emergency communications system to determine if this concept can meet the communication, tracking, mine escape, and rescue requirements of an underground communication system.
-
10/1/2014 - Peer reviewed journal articlesAn analyis of TTE measurement data collected from 94 mines in order to determine the apparent conductivity of the overburden based on three different models: a homogenous half-space model, a thin sheet model, and an attenuation factor or Q-factor model.
-
9/1/2014 - Peer reviewed journal articlesAn article about an analysis of interviews with nine mine safety trainers using a social ecological model to examine factors that could be addressed both during and after mine safety training.
-
8/15/2014 - Contracts and cooperative agreementsA contract to determine the factors that most affect signal transmission and reception for through-the-earth communication systems.
-
8/14/2014 - Contracts and cooperative agreementsA contract to incorporate a wireless base station into the MagneLink Magnetic Communication System (MCS) and to develop a mechanism that automatically activates a portable wireless text messaging device when a refuge chamber is opened or deployed.
-
7/18/2014 - Contracts and cooperative agreementsA contract to leverage the on-going development of the new generation Tandem Track (TT) snake robot, by modifying this new system in a way that makes it suitable for operations in underground mines.
-
7/1/2014 - Peer reviewed journal articlesAn article detailing a follow-up investigation to assess vibration exposure on haul trucks and front-end wheel loaders.
-
4/1/2014 - Peer reviewed journal articlesAn article that presents a case study of a small surface mining organization to highlight the fatigue risk management system implemented at the studied mine site.
-
2/23/2014 - Conference papersThis manuscript details the process undertaken by researchers at the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health Office of Mine Safety and Health Research to assess the safety culture at five underground coal mines across the United States.
