1. Introduction Slopes in quarries and open pit mines, as well as all the types of embankments (stockpiles, tailing dams, waste dumps) resulting from mining and mineral processing activities, must be considered as "geotechnical structures". Therefore, the design and implementation of these structures must be conducted with all consideration. Considering an economical plan, the selection of reas...

To catch the spoofers, different IP traceback systems have been proposed. Then again, However, because of the difficulties of arrangement, there has been not a ...

This is an Open distribution, Abstract – Individual identification of the endangered white-clawed crayfish (Austropotamobius pallipes) can provide valuable information when assessing long-term survival of animals released into the wild; currently the most effective method is the use of passive integrated transponders (PIT) tags. A 360 days ex situ experiment was undertaken on 20-month, captive-...

The groundwater inflow into a mine during its life and after ceasing operations is one of the most important concerns of the mining industry. This paper presents a hydrogeological assessment of the Irankuh Zn-Pb mine at 20 km south of Esfahan and 1 km northeast of Abnil in west-Central Iran. During mine excavation, the upper impervious bed of a confined aquifer was broken and water at high-pres...

Research into influence of drilling-and-blasting operations on the nature deformation in near-side masses design open-pit contours and assessing seismic impact blasting operations, which are basis for development recommendations rational parameters operations. Methods. The at limiting contour Kusmuryn field is studied using analysis mining-and-geological conditions tectonics rocks cons...
