  11/1/2014 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  A study that continues research into the potential for lithium and lithium-ion battery thermal runaway from an internal short circuit in equipment for use in underground coal mines.
• Aerosols and Criteria Gases in an Underground Mine That Uses FAME Biodiesel Blends
  10/1/2014 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  A study assessing heavy-duty haulage trucks' contribution to the concentrations of aerosols and criteria gases in underground mine air and the physical properties of those aerosols for three FAME biodiesel blends.
• Investigation of induced recirculation during planned ventilation system maintenance
  10/1/2014 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  A report detailing ways to increase mine airflow to underground metal/nonmetal mine working areas to improve miners’ health and safety. One of those areas is controlled recirculation.
• Earth Conductivity Estimation from Through-the-Earth Measurements of 94 Coal Mines Using Different Electromagnetic Models
  10/1/2014 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  An 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.
• An Analysis of Trainers' Perspectives within an Ecological Framework: Factors that Influence Mine Safety Training Processes
  9/1/2014 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  An 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.
• Assessment of Whole-body Vibration Exposures and Influencing Factors for Quarry Haul Truck Drivers and Loader Operators
