3/1/2010 - Peer reviewed journal articlesIn this paper, Computational Fluid Dynamics modeling of the effect of longwall face advance on the spontaneous heating of coals in a two-panel gob area using a bleeder ventilation system is presented.
-
3/1/2010 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis publication details the results of NIOSH studies to examine operating speeds based on usage and seam height.
-
2/1/2010 - Conference papersThis paper reviews the 100-year history of federal electrical safety research in the U.S mining industry, originally by the US Bureau of Mines, and as carried on today by NIOSH.
-
2/1/2010 - Conference papersThis paper provides a brief historical overview of full-scale mine explosion research conducted primarily at the USBM, now the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH).
-
1/1/2010 - Conference papersAfter studying mine disasters occurring in the U.S. from 1900-2010, the authors suggest that a factor in reducing death and injuries and increasing mine escape and rescue lies in the field of social psychology and human behavior interventions.
-
11/1/2009 - Conference papersNIOSH has investigated several areas in which current practices may need to be updated to adequately protect mines against coal dust propagated explosions. Other closely related issues, such as rock dust testing methods, are also discussed.
-
11/1/2009 - Conference papersThis paper presents a summary of some of the mine fire research and provides an overview of the next phase of the NIOSH mine fire research program.
-
9/1/2009 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis study evaluates the circumstances leading to fall from equipment injuries in the mining industry.
-
9/1/2009 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis study uses biomechanical modeling to estimate external moments about L5-S1 for sixteen lifting tasks, using two sizes of wire mesh screens, and presents recommendations to reduce spine loading.
-
8/1/2009 - Information CircularsThis report presents nearly all structural data available from explosion tests of 20-psi mine ventilation seals and concrete-block ventilation stoppings that were conducted by the NIOSH during 1997-2008.
