9/1/2009 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper summarizes the results of a study conducted to evaluate the effects that several types of DPFs, DFEs, and a DOC have on the concentration and size distribution of diesel aerosols in an underground mine.
-
9/1/2009 - Peer reviewed journal articlesIn this paper, the total gas flow rates and methane percentages from 10 GGVs were analyzed. The results showed that the two-hidden layer model predicted total production and the methane content of the GGVs with more than 90% accuracy.
-
9/1/2009 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper describes the performance of LED and INC sources in cap lamps in terms of correlated color temperature, color rendering, light output, electric power, ambient temperature and air flow, and light source aging.
-
8/1/2009 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThe purpose of this study was to perfect a method of gathering information on work positions and Visual Attention Locations needed by operators during the cutting phase and while the continuous miner trams to a new location.
-
7/1/2009 - Conference papersThis paper presents a description of geologic settings, mining conditions, rockmass characterization with geotechnical risk assessment, analysis, mapping, and control techniques used at an underground stone mine in Central Pennsylvania.
-
6/1/2009 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper discusses NIOSH mine illumination research to determine if light-emitting diode (LED) cap lamps can improve safety by reducing glare.
-
3/1/2009 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis study describes the development of an expert classification system used as a decision tool which can be used for degasification system selection using site- and mine-specific conditions.
-
2/1/2009 - Conference papersThe load-deformation characteristics and the load capacity of welded wire screen (roof screen) used to control ground fall were evaluated in the laboratory in a specially built test frame.
-
2/1/2009 - Conference papersResearchers evaluated four different types of fire suppression systems to study the effect of air velocity on extinguishing conveyor belt fires. Details are presented on the large-scale fire test set-up and arrangement of fire suppression systems.
-
1/1/2009 - Peer reviewed journal articlesNIOSH researchers studied U.S. underground coal mine explosions over a 30-year period to identify the ignition sources and locations responsible for severe explosions resulting in death, and provided recommendations for safer electrical design.
