Medicine for the Material World
ABSTRACT It is clear that many of the inorganic materials of antiquity have been used both as medicines for human ills and also as agents in technological processes. This paper speculates that there might have been a stronger link between these two functions in the past, based on the concept of “active agents”—materials that are efficacious at curing ...

Application of drill-monitoring for chargeability assessment in sublevel caving
Currently, the charging procedure for sublevel caving mining is carried out with no prior information of the rock mass condition. Thus, engineers are blindsided to unexpected rock conditions and ill-prepared to address issues associated with collapsing ...

Rib stability: A way forward for safe coal extraction in India [PDF]
Ensuring rib stability during pillar extraction is of prime importance in bord and pillar (B&P) method of underground coal mining with caving. Rib stability has been assessed here by way of assessing factor of safety (FOS), a ratio of the strength of rib
