Truck-shovel haulage system (TSHS) is the commonly used haulage system in open pit mines due to its flexibility and economy. In-pit Crushing and Conveying (IPCC) haulage system has advanced and is an alternative to TSHS ...

Contract mining has been rapidly growing worldwide, in scale, scope and magnitude. The nature and scope of mining outsourcing decision problems have also changed with time leading to the development of different decision ...

Mining productivity is a measure of the effectiveness of mining resource inputs computed as a ratio of production output per input resources. Factors affecting productivity can be grouped as a combination of technical ...

To do away with the hazardous, tedious, repetitive, and export-dependent gold panning procedure currently practiced by artisanal and small-scale miners in developing countries an automated system for the gold panning ...

Optical networks gained interest due to the inadequacy of electrical networks to handle the rapid growth of bandwidth requirements, as optical networks have significantly higher transmission rates. To efficiently realize ...

The research aims at defining and analyzing an energy solution that incorporates renewable energy, thereby giving rise to improving energy security and providing grid stability for the grid networks located in urban ...

The minimal cost, high efficiency and low power consumption of the Vertical Cav ity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) gives it an additional advantage when used in applications like fibre optical communication systems to meet ...

The increase in the number of linked technological devices, coupled with devices with new multimedia based services has resulted in the growing demand for high data rate communication and a spectrum crisis. Non-orthogonal ...

The industrial effluents contain substantial amounts of toxic heavy metal ions which pollutes surface water and groundwater. In this study, the adsorptive removal of copper, iron and nickel ions from wastewater using ...

Remote seismic nodes frequently experience failure because of the short lifecycle of lead–acid batteries. Even the use of solar cells is insufficient because these cells have low energy conversion and requires the deployment ...
