Damage Assessment In The Case Of Post-Mining-Induced Seismicity: How To Use And Adapt Macroseismic Intensity Scales?, Johanna Vieille, Caterina Negulescu, Pierre Gehl, Pascal Dominique, Romain Guidez, Grzegorz Mutke

Journal of Sustainable Mining

Following coal mine closures, the impact of flooding on underground mining excavations and on the geomechanical stability of the rock mass has the potential to trigger superficial earthquakes. The generated vibrations may induce damages to the surface infrastructures. Therefore, they represent a significant source of concern for the population. Nowadays, seismic risk assessment procedures in Europe usually build upon the EMS-98, which has been developed for natural tectonic earthquakes. This study aims to investigate the applicability of EMS-98 to seismic events induced by post-mining context while comparing it to a new intensity scale MSIIS-22 adapted to very low intensities from …

Rockfill Trenching For Enhancing Overburden Dump Height On Weak Soil Strata, Rahul Shende, Srinivasan Venkatraman, K. Athiveera Pandian, Shubham Jain, Anjan Patel

Journal of Sustainable Mining

Dumping waste on weak soil layers can destabilize the dump, compromising its capacity for material disposal. This study focuses on the stability of dumps placed over weak black cotton (BC) soil strata in central India, with an emphasis on assessing the effectiveness of rockfill trenches (RFT) in improving dump stability. A combined approach using nine limit equilibrium methods (LEM) and the finite element method (FEM) was employed for analysis. The results demonstrate that dump stability is significantly influenced by the presence of weak strata under both dry and wet conditions when the dumping height is increased. The study also reveals …

Exploring The Interactions Between Mining And Climate Change: A Bibliometric Analysis, Artatrana Mishra, Sarat Chandra Sahu, Manish Yadav, Nitin Kumar Singh

Journal of Sustainable Mining

The increasing demand for minerals has placed huge pressure on the mining industry to increase production, which consequently affects the environment, and, thus, contributes to climate change. Coal extraction has been reported to be a major contributor to global CO₂ emissions, mainly due to the burning of fossil fuels. As a consequence, the frequency and severity of extreme climatic events have also increased throughout the world. Mining is essential for the development of society but contributes to climate change. On the contrary, extreme weather events and rising temperatures associated with climate change affect the overall productivity of mining companies. …

Evaluation Of Cyanide Removal Processes On Water Effluents From Gold Ore Processing And Industrial Scale Up, Juliana Freitas, Jorge Bellido

Journal of Sustainable Mining

Gold extraction goes through different steps, from research to physical-chemical processing, which uses chemical reagents for extraction, such as cyanide. In literature, there are presented many ways to remove cyanide from this effluent on a bench scale, although on an industry scale it is not very often analysed. In this study, seeking innovation on an industrial scale for cyanide removal from real effluent generated by gold processing was analysed through oxidation with H₂O₂ and Fenton process. It was proven that these processes can remove cyanide at the levels required for recirculation of the effluent in the process, …

Prediction Of Blast-Induced Ground Vibrations In Limestone Mine Using Multiple Linear Regression (Mlr) Analysis, Appani Ravikumar, Harsha Vardhan, K V Subrahmanyam Sarma

Journal of Sustainable Mining

Open cast mining comprises a series of activities, including rotary cum percussive drilling, blasting, loading, and dumping. The excavation of overburden (OB) and minerals is carried out by employing the blasting process. The adverse effects linked to the practice of blasting include the generation of ground vibrations, the occurrence of fly rock, and the production of air-over pressure. Among the undesirable outcomes, ground vibrations are a significant concern for mining and environmental engineers. Typically, the estimation of ground vibrations caused by blasts in open-cast mines is accomplished using conventional regression analysis techniques. The independent variable included in the regression analysis …

An Analysis Of Hybrid/Remote Work Eligibility In Academic Librarian Job Advertisements, Ruth S. Connell, Meris Mandernach Longmeier

Library Faculty Publications

This paper seeks to capture changing policies and approaches to hybrid and remote work in academic libraries following the COVID-19 pandemic. For this study, job advertisements were gathered and those hiring managers surveyed. Results show hybrid/remote positions have competitive salaries, many types of academic library positions have hybrid eligibility, and campus and library policies regarding hybrid/remote work and their inclusion in job postings continue to evolve. Despite the potential recruitment benefits of these flexible work arrangements, many who offer them are not including this information in their job advertisements; therefore, job candidates should ask or negotiate for this benefit.

Dynamic Microbiome Responses To Structurally Diverse Anthocyanin-Rich Foods In A Western Diet Context, Mohammed F. Almatani, Giovanni Rompato, Eliza C. Stewart, Marcus Hayden, Jeremy Case, Samuel Rice, Korry J. Hintze, Abby D. Benninghoff

Animal, Dairy, and Veterinary Science Student Research

Background/Objectives: Anthocyanin (ACN)-rich foods are known to influence the gut microbiota composition, but the temporal dynamics and structural specificity of these effects remain poorly understood. This study investigated how distinct ACN-rich fruit supplements impact the gut microbiome over time in the context of a Western-style diet. We hypothesized that ACN-induced microbial shifts would occur rapidly, differ by ACN source, and require continued intake to persist. Methods: C57BL/6J mice were fed the total Western diet (TWD) supplemented with freeze-dried powders from bilberry (BB), tart cherry (TC), chokeberry (CB), elderberry (EB), black currant (BC), or black raspberry (BRB) for 0, 1, 3, …

Preferred Plants And Nectar Collecting Times For Honey Production, David Macfawn, Jennifer M.K. O'Keefe, Sophie Warny, Carol Wymer, June Rampy Ponder

Clemson Extension Publishing

This book addresses three important questions for South Carolina beekeepers – which plants are bees in South Carolina using for nectar forage, when bees collect nectar from those plants, and how can understanding nectar foraging habits inform beekeepers as they work to gather specific types of premium honey? In 2021, the South Carolina Beekeeper’s Association, led by David MacFawn, designed and implemented a statewide pollen study, the first in any state in over fifty years, to answer these questions. Informed by data gathered from 19 apiaries across the state, this book contains the results of that study, including large-scale melissopalynological …
