Questions related to Mining
I am currently searching for more information on implementation of Building Infromation Modeling (BIM) in mining industry. Would be glad to see any article recomendations.
On Google scholar, my publications are being continuously listed under another scholar whose first and last names match with mine. After some searching, there is no way to contact Google scholar support to fix this. I was informed that the other scholar should continuously remove them from his profile! What should I do to have them removed from his profile and have them on mine? Has anyone had this issue before?
Working with SWAT modeling in mining regions. The Land Use of the mining region has to be fine enough to understand the impact of change of land disturbance by mining on hydrology.
Is it that zero till rice-wheat system leads to reduced mining of ground water?
What challenges have you faced while conducting research and how did you solve them (if you managed to)?
Mine are as follow:
1. When working on a team I am not sure what others are working on and how they are progressing
2. Managing the research plan
3. Managing the data extracted from the literature review. Whenever I go back to a paper I do not remember what information I extracted from it.
Its been occuring lately that a paper of mine is being rejected without entering the phase of being peer reviewed
I am recording sEPSC(holding at -70 mV) and sIPSC(holding at 0) these days. My internal solution is Cs-based low Cl solution. But EPSC still appears when I was recording sIPSC which is obviously incorrect. My collegue is doing the same experiment and using the same solution as mine but recording in his rig doesn't have such issue. Does anyone have any idea about this? I don't know which part could be blamed. I am sure the cells are good. I would be appreciate for any suggestion. Thanks!
Recently, I am searching the transition state of the reaction by Cl-NEB, but can't get a desirable result, so I try to use Dimer Method to do it. However, vasp reached the required accuracy, all my atoms ran in disorder. I think it may be the problem of MODECAR, so I would like to ask you how you generate a MODECAR, and what's the problem of mine. Thank you for reply.
Hi,
I´m currently writing about N-Oleoylethanolamide (OEA), an acylethanolamide derivate and I see in the literature that both ways are used (mide/mine) to describe the compound. The same happens with its parent compounds, Acylethanolamide. Also, regarding OEA, both Oleoyl and Oleyl are used, and again both forms are used to describe similar things.
I want to understand if these compounds´ names are referring to the same thing or is the subtle chemical variation makes the effects similar and hence publications with the names of the different structural compounds being actually different.
Thanks in advance.
Is there anyone interested in reviewing an article of mine in Cureus? If so, please send me e-mail, full name and afilliation,
Many thanks
How can I adapt PSO to continuous problems such as OPMSP and where can I get data of a mine to apply this algorithm?
I have received a suspicious email and sent it to the National Unit Against Cybercrime. This Unit has already replied to me. They suspect it is a scam, perhaps cybercrime, and decided to further investigate it to be sure.
This email mentions a recently published paper of mine. Be aware and be careful.
For you reference I post here the content of said email, but deleted their link:

Many models such as Mohr-Coulomb, Hoek-Brown model, etc. are available in the software.
Hi, I was contacted by this Systematic Reviews in Pharmacy journal with a request to publish a study of mine in their journal. Can anyone give me information about it.
My previous advisor ever teached me that when the cell culture has not been maintained in its optimal condition, it will have some change in its characteristics. Even if I can resurrect them up, but the character of that cell has been changed already so I should not use that cell, which I always keep this in my mine. However, now I'm in the new lab and they use the resurrected cell (from a bad condition) regularly in their experiment. So, I would like to ask if the resurrected cells are ok to be used? or shouldn't be used?
I am currently focusing on 3D geomechanical modeling. And in the future, I want to extend it to a 4D model.
During my recent studies, I realized that most of the 4D geomechanical modeling that has been done has not properly updated the elastic properties such as Young's modulus, bulk modulus, Poisson ratio, etc.
If a 3D static model is extended to a dynamic model, or a two-way or one-way coupling is performed, it is necessary to consider all material behaviors in a time-dependent manner.
Please share if you have useful information in this regard or if you have a suggestion, I would be grateful if you could comment.
I'm curious to hear about your experiences :
- how long did the longest study you've co-authored last ?
- How long did it take you to finish the quickest study you've done ?
( excluding submission phase)
Mine were 7 months in a systematic review
2 weeks in a commentary
I have ready collected several transcription data of tissues from patient(almost have metastatic region) with typical cancer . Is it OK for me to only compare the original cancer site v.s. metastatic sites for genes promoting metastasis? For that I have seen many researchers for similar purpose choose to compare original sites' data of patient with or without metastatic region, which is quite different from mine.
Dear Researchers,
I with my team are working on Machine learning, data science, association rule mining and Simpsons Paradox.
I am looking for potential collaborators in these areas. If you are interested to collaborate or discuss our work, you can email me at rahul.gla@gmail.com
Thank you.
Best Wishes,
a friend of mine did a literature review on a subject, including all original articles referring to it within a period of 5 years. She also used 2 books for the introduction in order to refer to the established theory. How can she state it in the methods section?
The materials that are used to construct environmentally-friendly (zero-emission) products such as electric cars are primarily produced by mining. For example cerium (for UV glass filtration), europium and indium (for touch screen sensitivity), neodymium (for electrical to chemical energy conversion), cobalt and graphite (the primary materials of the electric car battery), and lithium (for charging and discharging electric energy). The mining process of some of these materials results in poisonous dust, and the increase in mining will increase the health risk as well as result in decreasing soil fertility in the mining cities. Hence, do electric vehicles really deserve such great attention?
I am a Ph.D. candidate in Mining Engineering. I was so confused in the selection of a suitable topic for my Ph.D. My areas of interest include Slope Stability, Rock Mechanics, Rock Blasting, Slope Stability, Waste Management, and Environmental Management in Mines. any suggestions would be appreciated.
I was focused on ethical leadership influence on employee productivity but more centred on employee engagement and motivation (see topic below). I feel it's too narrow and possibly won't provide any additional information to the vast body of research. Any suggestions for topics on the ethical leadership side or how to tweak mine to broaden?
Current: The influence of ethical leadership on employee motivation and engagement at private institutions.
Thanks in advance
I am a PhD candidate in Mining Engineering. I am interested in the sustainable development area of study in mining, which will be highly in demand in the future. Also, waste management, reclamation and closure plan of open pit mines is another area of interest. any suggestions would be appreciated.
It is very common to find a certain variable differently operationally defined and measured in various research. In this case, is it allowed for a researcher to cite a study examining the same variable but has different operational definition and measurement?
Hello. I have a question while western blot.
I think I have problem with my protein extraction.
First 4 lane on this picture is mine and last lane is other lab member's.
Only mine looks smear.
I used same protocol and buffers with others.
I added RIPA buffer on ice and wait for 20min on ice and scrapped it.
And then I did centrifuge for 14000rpm 20min.
Can you suggest what's the problem in my protein?
What do you think is the best way to analyze point density? For example, having the locations of many mines, what is the best way to calculate the agglomerations?
For the mineral deposit described in the following list, prepare a specific, detailed outline of the steps involved in bringing a prospect through the four operational stages into a producing mine. Select the mining method that would be best suited, most economical, and safest for the given conditions, defending your choice briefly and citing the main advantages and disadvantages of the method. Sketch the overall mine layout and the mining method. Identify the cycle of operations and major equipment selected for mining, and state the relative cost. Then give a summary of the requirements necessary to reclaim the mine site after mining is complete. Design conditions are as follows:
Deposit: Chalcocite/chalcopyrite ore minerals disseminated in quartz porphyry intrusive, average grade 2.0% Cu, fairly uniform Massive irregular deposit, reserves 100 million tons, average depth of cover 915 m
Ore compressive strength 82.7 MPa, frequent joints Metamorphosed capping and adjoining rock (schist), compressive strength 55.2 MPa, fractured, distinguishable boundary with ore
Topography: Desert and low mountain ridges, rugged terrain, elevation 1370 m
Climate: Arid, mean annual rainfall 254 mm
Production rate: 35,000 tons/day over a 25-year life
I wish to mine out effector molecules from a fungus Bipolaris sorokiniana ? Pls help me out by highlighting the availability of required tools to encounter effectors. Researcher's are most welcome, if they would like to collaborate in this project.
I want to know if just distilled water would be fine for this purpose or should I go for something like Phosphate buffered saline? My ultimate aim is to freeze-dry the fungal hyphae for SEM analysis. Apart from this, a colleague of mine also told me that after being separated from the growth media, the fungal hyphae have a chance of experiencing environmental stress. So, in that case, can washing the fungal hyphae repeatedly to remove the growth media (which would be a time taking process) have an undesired impact on the SEM analysis results (in terms of the morphology of the hyphae as in shrunken hyphae etc)?
Recently, black-holes were demonstrated to exert a pressure on their adjacent surrounding space (see: https://scitechdaily.com/physicists-total-surprise-discover-black-holes-exert-a-pressure-on-their-environment/amp/"Physicists’ Total Surprise: Discover Black Holes Exert a Pressure on Their Environment – SciTechDaily")
Reference: “Quantum gravitational corrections to the entropy of a Schwarzschild black hole” by Xavier Calmet and Folkert Kuipers, 9 September 2021, Physical Review D. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevD.104.066012
In two old preprints of mine (2018 and 2020), I've also predicted that all black-holes exert a mechanical pressure on their adjacent environment which I've defined as being actually a reaction(al) force produced by a predicted universal black-hole-associated Casimir force.
More precisely, a black-hole (bh) limits the spontaneous appearance of virtual pairs (VPs) inside it and that creates a gradient between the outer and inner VPs (a positive gradient between the number of VPs per unit of volume outside vs inside that bh), a gradient translated in a (bh-associated) Casimir force (bhaCF) exerting an additional out-to-in pressure on that bh (which bhaCF also generates a reactional force that acts from inside to outside that bh, manifesting as a pressure exerted by that bh on its adjacent surrounding space). See the two preprints cited next:
[1] “(eZEH working paper - version 1.0 - 10 pages - 2.08.2018) An extended zero-energy hypothesis: on some possible quantum implications of a zero-energy universe, including the existence of negative-energy spin-1 gravitons (as the main spacetime “creators”) and a (macrocosmic) black-hole (bh) Casimir effect (bhCE) which may explain the accelerated expansion of our universe”:
[2] “(bhCE-HR-AE-ObU - version 1.0 - 18.11.2020- 2 A4 pages without references) A proposed black-hole-associated Casimir effect (bhCE) possibly inhibiting Hawking radiation (HR) and creating a spatial expansion around any macro/micro black-hole (possibly driving the global accelerated expansion of our observable universe)”:
What do you think of my proposed black-hole-associated Casimir force and its reactional force (manifested as a pressure exerted by black-holes on their surrounding space)?
Hello Researcher, If we have ensemble model which apply different Association mining algorithms such as Apriori, Terius and Clustering Algorithms such as K-Means, Cobweb on same dataset, I want to analyse which algorithm is better among all. Is there any automated simple way to compare the performance of above Association mining and Clustering algorithms based on accuracy , time etc in Weka tool?
Does anyone else find that they can only tag certain co-authors/colleagues in papers/projects and not others despite them being on Research gate? Is this something with their settings or mine? Obviously, this is not a big issue, I was just wondering (also I don't want to potentially offend anyone by tagging some people and not others- looks like favouritism. When I say tagging, I mean listing their name and linking it with their Research gate profile. I just asked one of my colleagues and he is not aware of why when I type his name, he doesn't appear. He would like to appear so that he doesn't have to enter the project details himself separately).
Hello researchers,
I am working on mining heritage and tourism development for around four years now. I feel that my research topic is relatively new and fewer people are working in this field. Hence, I want to develop an academic network of people with similar interests so that collaboration may happen, and I can get more work opportunities and vice-versa. So, what is the correct way to find people with similar interests, what is the correct approach, and how to spread my own work to a greater audience who are interested in my research and capable to give the right feedbacks?
Hi everyone,
some students of mine are having trouble exporting their transcription as a tab delimited file on ELAN. At the time of saving their files a message of "access denied" occurs.
It doesn not seem to be a problem related to their anti-virus.
Actually, I do not think this is a specific ELAN problem.
Does anyone have any idea of the reason behind this problem?
Thanks for your help,
Manuela
I have a survey data which includes both my dependent and independent variables. I will do a principal component analysis to get rid of the multicolinearity problem. Then, I want to do a regression analysis. My question is, how do I include control variables in the model if they were not a part of the questionaire? I've heard from a colleague of mine that he inserted some control variables as dummy variables, but I am not sure how to technically do that in the process of plotting the regression.
Could you please give me some insight into the topic?
Thank you.
Looking forward to professional assistance for testing standard procedure
Can Spearman test be used to deter mine correlation between categorical and continuous variable
Since mid-2020, when we see a renewed increase in the popularity of cryptocurrencies as a source of easy profit, avoiding transaction costs and escaping from fiat money inflation, the energy costs associated with "mining" Bitcoin were revealed in the media. Energy experts began to carefully assess the functioning of the cryptocurrency market in terms of electricity consumption in relation to the amount of electricity consumed by the economy. It turned out that bitcoin mining costs annually at least as much electricity as a medium-sized country like Finland consumes. If Bitcoin were a country, it would rank in the top 30 worldwide for energy use. I enclose the research results in charts and links to the publication. Meanwhile, in 2021 we are witnessing the emergence of an energy crisis all over the world and an incredible increase in the prices of natural gas and crude oil as a result of climate disturbances, disruptions in the supply chain and broken cooperative ties between international companies. Therefore, what are the prospects for such a phenomenon as cryptocurrencies or other energy-intensive technologies, the use of which is completely against the policy of reducing greenhouse gases and switching to renewable energy on a global scale? Is the true thesis that the growth rate of the BTC market price to USD is comparable to the growth rate of electricity consumption by cryptocurrency miners?
I wrote a review article in some thing, but before submitting it, there is a similar one was published in another journal. what is the percentage for accepting mine (from prospective of novelty)?
Can it be published in high impacted journal regardless the similarity.
What you advice me to do?
Mining, be it iron, cobalt, uranium, coal etc. is known to cause water pollution apart from so many environmental associated hazards. Naturally found or cultured grown algae are good accumulators of the leached metals. But is it recommendable for treating huge litters of heavy metal polluted water? how efficient is it?
Hello everyone,
As part of my project for my master thesis, which is the investigation of water pollution in an abandoned mine in Mojave Desert, I want to produce a large-scale mine map that can help me interpret the connection between mine activity and water pollution.
I try to find some sources, advice, paper, and map samples for my project. It would be excellent if you share some of your experiences?
Thank you.
I submitted one of the research papers of mine in a journal by Emrald last year in August 2020. Till now I have done two revisions and last revision was submitted in April 2021. I have been waiting since then for the decision by editors and it has been a long and a demotivating process since then. I have published two more papers between time period But, regarding this paper there is no communication from the editors. I finally decided to ask them and they said we are reviewing the revisions. Its been more than 1 year. What should I do in this case? Should I withdraw it instead?
Ground instability has been historically the main cause of accidents, injuries, and fatalities in the mining industry, especially, in underground operations. In recent years, ground control management has shifted from a reactive approach towards a more risk-based practice. Australia has been one of the countries that have taken the lead on this matter by producing a series of industry guidelines such as the "Industry Guideline for Rockfall Risk Management". However, many of these initiatives have been lead by the industry rather than by government or safety enforcing agencies.
The government of Western Australia released in 2019 the Code of Practice - Ground Control for Western Australian Mining Operations. This document specifies a series of regulatory expectations for minimizing workforce exposure to hazardous ground movement.
I would like to know if anybody around here is aware of any other standard such as this that outlines the ground control practices that should be complied with by mining companies to ensure worker's safety around the world?
Hello Researchers,
I am interested to collaborate with researchers interested to work on mining heritage and mining tourism.
As a result of communication with the WG participants, I came to the conclusion:
The lack of direct contact, complete freedom of expression leads to the fact that very often participants begin to humiliate, insult those who do not agree with their point of view.
Many adhere to a simple philosophy: there may be many opinions, ideas and guesses, but the correct one is only mine !!!
What is your experience and what is your impression of the WG correspondence?
have you encountered / used any spatial visualization technique before,
if so can you please take the following survey :

I have a set of n aligned protein sequences. I have constructed a profile hidden Markov model (HMM) from the alignment with hmmbuild in the HMMER package.
I would like to compare my constructed HMM with a database of standard HMMs (e.g. those in the PFAM or ESTHER database) to see which standard HMM is most similar to mine.
Is there a way I can do this (web server or command line)?
A friend of mine wants to publish his paper in UGC approved journal. Can u suggest some multidisciplinary journals whose publishing charges are under INR 5000?

Factors that causes Inappropriate Fleet Selection which can affect development or production of Underground Mine.
Tsumeb is notable for the huge mineralized pipe that led to its foundation. The origin of the pipe has been hotly debated. Is Tsumeb a magmatic, hydrothermal, porphyritic ore deposit or something else. If so, why? There have been a lot of papers explaining the paragenesis of the Tsumeb ore minerals but without a direct answer as to what type of ore deposit it is.

For a screening paper, I am looking for polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) analysis of mining influenced water including acid mine drainage. So far, I have 11 articles or reports, 9 of them relating to Germany. I did a thorough literature review, but without additional success. Therefore, I am now looking for unpublished data with PCB analysis in MIW that you might be able to share with me. Thanks in advance. Christian Wolkersdorfer
It has to getting data from a construction or mining field.
I'm a novice researcher and doing MSc, I am doing a scoping review. I have included studies in my review, however not sure if i should include the studies which has already been reviewed by other authors. Obviously their aim of the study was different and mine is different. But should I include individual study from the previous scoping review or should I use the findings suggested by the author of that scoping review? I hope I was able to explain my question. Your reply will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
What do you think about the good references for mining solid waste characterization?

Does anybody have knowledge of the recent statistics about the utilization of drill and blast method and mechanical excavation? I need statistics about the subject and I am sure I saw it somewhere but I was not able to find it again. I recognize that the question is broad but references from different methods of mining or tunnelling are welcomed.
Thanks in advance!
I search old mining sources in Swiss between years 1300-1400. A mine which produced large a high quality rock crystals, only fluid incluisions, absolutely colourless. Final product was a plate 11x11 cm.
We have some metal complexes that we are trying to characterize via ESI-QTOF (waters). That works well for Cu complexes but for others (Cd, Mo, Mn, Pb, W), that works sometimes well for some compounds but for others we get fragmentations. I tried to optimise the MS parameters but does not help.
We would need a method that would work for most of the metal complexes if not all.
Please if you have some tips for sample preparation and the analysis method we could try, I ll take them.
Thank you all.
In association rule mining we are finding out frequent itemsets using apriori,FP-Growth algorithms.nest we find out closed and maximal frequent itemsets.Next what are the research directions possible to continue.please give me suggession.
I am doing some research on mining of Magnesium source minerals/ores in Europe and any information would be appreciated. Can you provide information on the mining of Magnesite, Dolomite, Serpentine and the processing of such ores and ultimately the refinement of this into magnesium metal?
In terms of feasibility, global market and standardization.
The problems involved with non-compatibility with the assets systems are very common nowadays, and it should not exist.
Because it's a very specific subject inside the mine sector, I think it's worth a discussion.
