Analysing the Role of Safety Level and Capital Investment in Selection of Underground Metal Mining Method [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mining and Geo-Engineering, 2021
It is one of the important tasks to select a suitable mining method for economic and safely extraction of the specific ore deposit. The selection of individual mining methods depends on multiple factors like dip, shape, thickness, depth, grade ...

A Conserved Isoleucine Gates the Diffusion of CO and O2 to the Active Site of NiFe CO‐Dehydrogenase

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A combination of protein film electrochemistry and site‐directed mutagenesis shows that isoleucine 563 (numbering of Thermococcus sp. AM4) gates the arrival of both CO and O2 to the active site of the nickel‐iron CO dehydrogenases. Mutations at this position increase the resistance to O2 at the cost of a slower reaction with CO.

Gravity flow and fragmentation modeling in Block Caving [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
In block caving, the behavior of gravity flow is fundamental in mine design and pla nning. However, the great number of variables that influence this large scale phenomenon are difficult to study directly in the field.
