• Reduced Workers’ Compensation Costs With Roof Screening
  9/1/2012 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  This paper quantifies potential savings in WC premiums due to a reduction in rock fall injuries after roof screening in Pennsylvania’s underground coal mines. Two hypothetical mines with realistic injury and WC premium estimates were used.
• A CART Technique to Adjust Production from Longwall Coal Operations under Ventilation Constraints
  3/1/2012 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  The CART-based model that is given in this paper can be used to predict methane emission rates and to adjust operation parameters under ventilation constrains in longwall mining.
• Technology News 546 - Medium Frequency Mine Emergency Communications - An Emerging Technology
  2/1/2012 - Technology News
  Medium frequency communications systems do not require a powered underground infrastructure to be installed for operation, and may therefore provide a higher degree of survivability after a mine disaster than other types of systems.
• Field Study of Longwall Coal Mine Ventilation and Bleeder Performance
  1/1/2012 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  To assess the effectiveness of commonly applied ventilation strategies for improving air distribution and ventilation controls to meet statutory requirements.
