Variation on Toxic and Inflammatory Potential of Coal Smoke of Different Sources From a Region With High Lung Cancer Risk

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Excess lung cancer risk in Xuanwei and Fuyuan, China, has been attributed to household air pollution from use of a locally sourced smoky (bituminous) coal. However, the carcinogenic mechanisms remain unclear. Given the important role of inflammation in lung cancer development, this study compared the proinflammatory potentials of the ...

ICT in Optimization of Machines Movement at Open-Pit Coal Mine

International Journal of Science and Engineering Invention, 2018
Auxiliary machinery is used at the open-pit coal mine (machines: bulldozers, trench excavators, pipe-laying machines,....) for performance of auxiliary work (excavation, construction of route,....) in order to provide an uninterrupted operation of the basic machinery for excavation of waste rock and coal.

How to stay wild in a highly domesticated landscape? Spatiotemporal behaviour of wolves in Germany

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wild animals can adapt to the increasing presence of humans by either becoming accustomed to it or by avoiding humans by spatiotemporal separation. The return of the wolf to the German lowlands raised the opportunity to study wolf behaviour in one of the most densely populated and fragmented countries in Europe, in an area where topography offers no ...

Vegetation dynamics and dominant driving factors in a semi-arid coal mining area under a disturbance–restoration zoning framework

Geocarto International
Understanding vegetation dynamics in arid mining ecosystems remains limited, despite the extensive disturbances imposed by mining activities. Integrating remote sensing and field observations, we applied the Mann–Kendall test, Theil–Sen slope, the ...

An Overview of High‐Temperature Superconducting Cables in DC Systems: Unlocking Potential for High‐Voltage DC Networks

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper provides an overview of high‐temperature superconducting (HTS) cables in DC systems, with a focus on their deployment in high‐voltage DC (HVDC) networks. The assessment of HTS cable properties—such as extremely low electrical resistance, high current‐carrying capacity and a compact geometry—and their comparison with those of ...

The Evolution of the Earnings Distribution in a Sustained Growth Economy: Evidence from Australia*

Economic Record, EarlyView.
We examine the evolution of earnings inequality, risk and mobility in Australia from 1991 to 2020 using a 10 per cent sample of administrative tax records from the ALife dataset. Our main findings are summarised as follows. First, earnings inequality follows a distinctive trajectory: top‐end inequality increased during the 1990s and 2000s but declined ...

The Late Agricultural Development of Central Arabian Oases—Archaeobotanical and Archaeozoological Studies of the al‐Kharj Oasis

Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While oasis settlements emerged during the Bronze Age in Eastern and Northern Arabia, the settlement process in Central Arabia was different. Excavations at al‐Yamāma—main ancient settlement of the al‐Kharj oasis (Riyadh Province, KSA)—suggest that the latter did not emerge before the second half of the first millennium BCE.

Surface Rights: Sovereignty, Citizenship and the Question of Mineral Rights in the Woodward Commission

Australian Journal of Politics &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article retraces the Woodward Commission on Aboriginal Land Rights in the Northern Territory, focusing on the question of mineral rights. Mineral rights were assumed in the Commission's terms of reference and expected by many Aboriginal people. Why, then, were they not recommended by the Commission?

The Early Upper Palaeolithic open‐air site of Friedrichsdorf‐Seulberg, Germany, in the context of the northern central European Aurignacian

Boreas, EarlyView.
Our knowledge of the Early Upper Palaeolithic occupation in northern central Europe is very limited, and recent research at the open‐air site of Friedrichsdorf‐Seulberg in Hesse, Germany, provides important new information on the Aurignacian. The site is rather small (26.5 m2) and spatial analysis identified a central hearth with two associated ...

40 Promoting healthy lifestyles in an open pit coal mine [PDF]

Mining Occupational Safety and Health, 2018
Introduction Open pit coal mines face different occupational risks, however little attention has been placed on the importance of promoting in the labour and social sphere of workers healthy lifestyles. In an open coal mine in Colombia and with the goal to prevent general and occupational diseases and overall to improve quality of life, was developed ...
