Mining operations involve the extraction of minerals economic value from earth. In surface mining operations, overburdens need to be stripped in other reach ore. Large volumes waste as well ore is process. Various technologies have been used aid stockpile volume estimation. Notable among them are Total Stations and Global Positioning Systems (GPS). However, labour, safety time has challenged us...

Stockpile monitoring has been recently conducted with the help of modern remote sensing techniques – e.g., terrestrial/aerial photogrammetry/LiDAR that can efficiently produce accurate 3D models for area interest. However, indoor stockpiles still requires more investigation due to unfavorable conditions in these environments such as lack global navigation satellite system (GNSS) signals and/or ...

In 2019 and 2021, a tall fescue fertility study was conducted at the K-State Experiment Station near Columbus, KS. The purpose of to determine effect summer fertilization on forage quality quantity in stockpiled fescue. If producer can stockpile high-quality for late fall early winter grazing, protein supplementation may not be necessary calving cows.

An examination of brand prices in several categories reveals that the distribution of prices is multi-modal with firms offering shallow and deep discounts. Another interesting feature of these distributions is that they may have holes in the interior of the support. These pricing distributions do not occur in extant theoretical models of price promotions. We develop a dynamic model of competiti...

BACKGROUND Influenza pandemic preparedness plans are currently developed and refined on national and international levels. Much attention has been given to the administration of antiviral drugs, but contact reduction can also be an effective part of mitigation strategies and has the advantage to be not limited per se. The effectiveness of these interventions depends on various factors which mus...

Now that the global eradication of wild poliovirus is almost within sight, planning for the post-certification era is becoming a priority issue. It is agreed that a stockpile of appropriate polio vaccines will need to be established, and a surveillance and response capacity will need to be maintained, in order to protect the world against any possible future outbreaks attributable either to the...

Abstract Accurately estimating the volume of earthworks is very important in mining engineering and construction. This estimation can be difficult because morphological condition stockpiles, hence, devising simpler, yet accurate methods stockpile still a research problem mining. Two non-invasive survey were compared this research: conventional ground-based UAV-approach, for twin-stockpile grave...
