Novel, advanced sensors, dynamic development of information technologies as well as modern high-performance computers applied in different fields of human activity result in large amount of data. Consequently, these data, grouped in the data sets are both large and complex. The complexity come from the several mutually excluding factors like acquisition with different sensors at various times, ...

Mining is among the oldest industries. It is the primary source of raw materials for most of the sectors. Little is known about the complex inter-sectoral carbon linkages of the mining industry. In this work, we estimate the inter- and intra-sectoral carbon linkage impacts of the mining sector across ten major economies by applying an input-output model, and the hypothetical extraction method a...

there are more than 750 counties in 13 provinces and autonomous regionsconstituting 30% of china lands which are facing serious problem of desertification. theseareas are mainly distributed in arid, semi-arid and dry sub-humid areas in the western part ofnortheast china, north central china and most of northwest china. biological methods are theultimate way for drift sand stabilization and a fu...

introduction development of natural resources and mining activities are prerequisite for economic and industrial growth in many countries. in many cases, such mining areas lie within residential or agricultural lands or natural habitats intensifying the contradiction between land use and environmental protection. different components of mining activities including exploration, extraction and pr...

Raw material of heavy oil and gas deposits, developed in per Caspian lowland (Orenburg, Astrakhan, Tengiz, Zanazol), is characterized by high content of acid components (H2S, CO2) and sulphoorganic compounds. Under such circumstances the importance of industrial mining and development of new, economical and wasteless technologies, providing full and experienced usage of all raw compounds being ...

Today many different software tools for Decision Support exist; the same is true for Data Mining which can be seen as a particularly challenging sub-area of Decision Support. Choosing the most suitable tool for a particular industrial data mining application is becoming difficult, especially for industrial decision makers whose expertise is in a different field. This paper provides a conceptual...

Xinjiang’s industrial sector accounted for more than 80% of the total energy-related carbon emissions. A further understanding of each industrial sub-sector’s carbon intensity is very necessary to make differentiated policies and measures. This paper applied index decomposition analysis and attribution analysis to examine the influencing factors and each sub-sector’s contributions to the change...
