9/1/2006 - Peer reviewed journal articlesUS coal mining organizations are losing the knowledge they need to be able to respond to emergencies. Knowledge management provides a useful perspective from which to view the problem. Knowledge can be managed by cultivating it through narratives.
-
9/1/2006 - Peer reviewed journal articlesResearchers conducted experiments to estimate the mean and standard deviation of laser powers needed to ignite 6% methane-air atmospheres using single-mode optical fiber tips covered by two types of iron oxide mixed with a ceramic adhesive.
-
4/1/2006 - Technology NewsThis publication is intended to promote awareness of float coal dust explosion hazards in the mining industry and offers a float coal dust mitigation technique.
-
3/1/2006 - Conference papersA computational fluid dynamics (CFD) program was applied to fire spread along combustibles in a ventilated mine entry. The rate of flame spread was evaluated for the ribs and roof of a coal mine entry, timber sets, and a conveyor belt.
-
12/1/2005 - Training materialsA training product to improve blast safety by providing information about blasting to those who work around blast sites
-
2/1/2005 - Conference papersThis paper examines the factors related to injuries due to inadequate blasting shelters and blast area security, and identifies mitigation techniques.
