11/1/2007 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper presents a method using a ray-tracing technique to determine absorption coefficients for underground mines. Absorption coefficients are determined and presented for octave bands from 63 Hz to 8 kHz.
-
8/1/2007 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper describes a simple, inexpensive, dependable, and field portable method for estimating the mass concentration of elemental carbon exiting the tailpipe of a diesel engine using a direct reading photometer in underground mines.

1/1/2005 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis publication details a series of explosive detonation experiments conducted in NIOSH's Bruceton and Lake Lynn Experimental Mines to evaluate low-level (<6 psig) detonation wave propagation behavior in single- and multiple-entry configurations.
-
6/1/2003 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper discusses human judgment and decision making under stress. The authors assert that stress is one of the factors that decision makers must contend with in most life-or-death situations.

1/1/1998 - Peer reviewed journal articlesRoof and rib conditions were observed and assessed in 33 underground stone mines. It was found that selection of the mining horizon and mine layout decisions tremendously influence ground stability.
-
2/1/1997 - Peer reviewed journal articlesIn 1986 the U.S. Bureau of Mines (USBM) embarked on a major research effort to develop technology that can substantially reduce worker exposure to face hazards simply by relocating the equipment operators to an area of relative safety. This paper repor...
