background : in china, over 80% of all work-related deaths in the mining industry occur in coal mines and human factors constitute 85% of the direct causes of coal mine accidents, which indicates that significant shortcomings cur-rently exist in the safety behavior management of chinese coal mine workers. we aimed to verify the impact of human psychological behavior in coal mine accidents syste...

The Schneeberg mine in the south-western part of Saxony (Germany) is flooded up to the overflow level. The mine water discharges via a historical adit to the Zwickauer Mulde river. Although the Schneeberg mine has been flooded for a 50 years period, and it is relatively small, the mine discharges a significant arsenic load at a nearly constant level, which seems to be typical for base metal/ ur...

We proposed a novel ray-tracing based radio waves propagation (RTRWP) Law suitable for under-tunnel complex coal mine workface. The energy consumption model evaluation in complex coal mine workface is derived. Theoretical analysis about calculating the multiple reflections of the radio waves in coal mine workface is also provided. Computer simulations and field tests in workface tunnels show th...
