Coal Geology & Exploration

The rapid and safe construction of rescue channel is an effective method to save the trapped person underground after mine accidents. The conventional rescue hole drilling technologies mainly include the downhole hammer percussion drilling technology and the composite drilling technology, which have the disadvantages of large rig structure, complex drilling process, great disturbance to the formation and low target hit rate. In particular, it is easy to have secondary accidents in the fractured strata, and the rescue requirements could not be effectively met. In order to ensure the formation adaptability and wall stability of rescue boreholes, the dual-bit torque self-balancing …

Tomography Method For Adjacent Channel Frequency Shift Of Transmitted In-Seam Waves, Tian Han, Wu Rongxin, Hu Ze’An, Yang Qiaonan

Coal Geology & Exploration

In-Seam Seismic is one of the main detection methods for small geological structures in the coal mining working face. In this method, the energy attenuation feature of in-seam waves is mainly utilized. In case of any significant geological anomaly or receivers coupling difference in coal working face, the energy distribution of the in-seam wave at different frequency bands will be significantly affected, and the stability and accuracy of in-seam wave detection results will be decreased. Using the centroid frequency change features of the in-seam wave signals for inversion imaging is an innovative, effective method. However, for this method, there are …

Predicting The Stability Of Open Stopes Using Machine Learning, Alicja Szmigiel, Derek B. Apel

Journal of Sustainable Mining

The Mathews stability graph method was presented for the first time in 1980. This method was developed to assess the stability of open stopes in different underground conditions, and it has an impact on evaluating the safety of underground excavations. With the development of technology and growing experience in applying computer sciences in various research disciplines, mining engineering could significantly benefit by using Machine Learning. Applying those ML algorithms to predict the stability of open stopes in underground excavations is a new approach that could replace the original graph method and should be investigated. In this research, a Potvin database …


Climate Change Curricula In Alberta, Canada: An Intersectional Framing Analysis, Greg Lowan-Trudeau 2022 University of Calgary

Climate Change Curricula In Alberta, Canada: An Intersectional Framing Analysis, Greg Lowan-Trudeau

Northwest Journal of Teacher Education

This article is comprised of a climate change-focused framing analysis of proposed revisions to Alberta, Canada’s K-6 curriculum as an ideologically motivated manifestation of curricular epistemicide. Eisner’s three curricula—the explicit, implicit, and null—and scholarship related to intersectional climate and environmental justice, education, and communication provide the theoretical framework. This inquiry concludes with a critical discussion of and possible alternatives to the revised curriculum with further consideration of the implications for those involved with similar endeavours in other jurisdictions across Canada and around the world.
