Heavy metal(loid) contamination in the environment of mining areas has become an important problem. Cheshemeh-Konan is one of the main copper deposits in NW Iran that is currently abandoned. In the present work, the intensity of some metal(loid) pollutions in the soil of the mining area was assessed using three reliable indices. In addition, the potential of Sonchus oleraceus L., as th...

Data mining is an area which used in vast field of areas. Rule based classification is one of the sub areas in data mining. From this paper it will describe how rule based classification is used alone with Agent Technology to detect malnutrition in children. This proposed system is implemented as an egovernment system. Further it will try to research whether there is connection between number o...

Opinion mining deals with an analysis of user reviews for extracting their opinions, sentiments and demands in a specific area, which can play an important role in making major decisions in such area. In general, opinion mining extracts user reviews at three levels of document, sentence and feature. Opinion mining at the feature level is taken into consideration more than the other two levels d...

Privacy-preserving data mining has been the subject of substantial research. This paper summarizes accomplishments, the privacy debate, and outlines areas where privacy issues still impact data mining research and practice.

Mining environmental liabilities (MEL) are of great concern because potential risks to ecosystems and human health. In this research, the risk (RI) related MEL existing in three artisanal small-scale gold-mining areas Ecuador was evaluated. For purpose, data 167 including landfills, mining galleries, tailing deposits, mineral processing plants from Macuchi, Tenguel–Ponce Enriquez, Puyango areas...

Epidemiological studies indicate that living in proximity to coal mines is correlated with numerous diseases including cancer, and that exposure to PM10 and PM2.5 components could be associated with this phenomenon. However, the understanding of the mechanisms by which PM exerts its adverse effects is still incomplete and comes mainly from studies in occupationally exposed populations. The aims...

The application of data mining in the domain of bioinformatics is explained. It also highlights some of the current challenges and opportunities of data mining in bioinformatics.

The paper introduces the landscape assessment approach for the post-mining landscapes in the Estonian oil shale open-cast mines. Typologies of mining landscapes are based on landscape pattern, features and functions predetermined by mining technologies. The open-cast mines which have been predominantly subjected to monofunctional reforestation should direct to diversification of landscape and i...

Landslides caused by mining are seriously affecting the construction and sustainable development of mining area. With the characteristics of multi-resource, multi-format, multi-theme and large storage capacity, mining landslide data is difficult to be managed effectively and applied to the evaluation, forecast, prevention and treatment of landsides. Based on mechanism of landslides in mining ar...
