• Computerized Accident Reconstruction and Training for Metal/Non-Metal Mines
  12/1/1999 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  NIOSH is developing computer programs that will be used to educate mine workers on the hazards of mining, as well as train miners in evacuation routes and evacuation procedures.
• CFD Analysis of Mine Fire Smoke Spread and Reverse Flow Conditions
  6/1/1999 - Conference papers
  A Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) program was used to model buoyancy induced Product-Of-Combustion (POC) spread from experimental fires in the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), Pittsburgh Research Laboratory (PRL), safety...
• Concluding Evaluation of a Continuous Haulage Guidance Sensor
  10/1/1998 - Reports of Investigations
  One of the applications of enabling technology for remote-controlled mining to protect miners is the use of a guidance system on the continuous haulage equipment so that it follows the continuous mining machine that extracts the coal.
• Effects of Mining Height on Injury Rates in U.S. Underground Nonlongwall Bituminous Coal Mines
  11/1/1997 - Information Circulars
  This report examines the effects of mining height on injury rates in U.S. underground nonlongwall bituminous coal mines, controlling for both the employment size of the mine and the mining methods.
• Independent Contractor Trends in the United States Mining Industry
  9/1/1996 - Conference papers
  Employment and accident trends of independent contractors working at coal and noncoal mines in the United States are reported.
• The Cost Relationship Between Performance Engineering and Human Behavior
  1/1/1996 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  This field trial of the Work Crew Performance Model affirms the congruency between production and operator training by providing a unique cost linkage between performance engineering and human behavior.
• The Availability of Primary Copper in Market Economy Countries: A Minerals Availability Appraisal
  1/1/1992 - Information Circulars
  A U.S. Bureau of Mines study on the potential availability of copper from 204 mines and deposits in market economy countries.
• Methane Migration Characteristics of the Pocahontas No. 3 Coalbed
  1/1/1972 - Reports of Investigations
  Methane-flow and pressure data taken from a mine in the Pocahontas No. 3 Coalbed are compared with flow rates from lump coal obtained in laboratory experiments. From this, it is concluded that the main source of gas is the intact coalbed rather than a "...
• Methane Emission Rate Study in a Deep Pocahontas No. 3 Coalbed Mine in Conjunction With Drilling Degasification Holes in the Coalbed
  1/1/1972 - Reports of Investigations
  A degasification experiment was conducted in a Pocahontas No. 3 Coalbed mine in Virginia. It involved (1) drilling holes in the coalbed in the outside headings of a set of five being developed in virgin area and (2) conducting a methane emission rate st...
• Methane Emission in Coal Mines: Effects of Oil and Gas Wells
  1/1/1972 - Reports of Investigations
  The method of moving averages was found useful in assessing the nature of methane emission in coal mines. Emission rates were influenced markedly by the presence of abandoned oil and gas wells in the vicinity of the mine. Such wells appeared to increase...
