1/1/2011 - Peer reviewed journal articlesGob gas ventholes capture methane emissions. This study used bivariate normal distributions to determine the conditional probabilities of depth-displacement, depth-flow percentage, depth-formation, and depth-gas content of the overburden formations.
-
1/1/2011 - Peer reviewed journal articlesNIOSH is investigating the use of shotcrete in weak rock mass mines with the objective of reducing fatalities and injuries resulting from rock fall accidents.
-
1/1/2011 - Peer reviewed journal articlesNine participants, six males and three females, participated in a study examining kinematic and electromyographic (EMG) responses to natural cadence stoopwalking, four-point crawling (all fours), and two-point crawling (knees only).

1/1/2011 - Peer reviewed journal articlesNIOSH is currently developing noise controls for horizontal vibrating screens.
-
1/1/2011 - Peer reviewed journal articlesNIOSH is researching safe practices for the use of shotcrete as ground support in underground mines, particularly mines operating in weak host rock; including a rugged, portable direct tensile test system for measuring shotcrete adhesion strength.
-
1/1/2011 - Peer reviewed journal articlesIn recent years, the number of some annual ground fall fatalities has approached zero, indicating that significant progress has been made. However, more progress is needed to reduce injuries caused by rock falling between supports and by rib falls.
