Microbial communities associated with uranium in-situ recovery mining process are related to acid mine drainage assemblages

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Pierre Rossi, Luiz Felippe De Alencastro, Thomas Coral

A large fraction (47%) of the world's uranium is mined by a technique called “In Situ Recovery” (ISR). This mining technique involves the injection of a leaching fluid (acidic or alkaline) into a uranium-bearing aquifer and the pumping of the resulting sol ...

Optimisation of Current and Pulse Duration in Electric Discharge Drilling of D2 Steel Using Graphite Electrode

Electric discharge machining (EDM) is one of the viable techniques for machining of D2 steel, in which the material removal occurs by spark erosion. The poor selection of EDM parameters affect the machining quality and productivity. Considering this, the p ...

Modelling wet snow avalanche runout to assess road safety at a high-altitude mine in the central Andes

Nander Wever

Mining activities in cold regions are vulnerable to snow avalanches. Unlike operational facilities, which can be constructed in secure locations outside the reach of avalanches, access roads are often susceptible to being cut, leading to mine closures and ...

Mining, Modeling and Predicting Mobility

Mohamed Kafsi

Mobility is a central aspect of our life, and our movements reveal much more about us than simply our whereabouts. In this thesis, we are interested in mobility and study it from three different perspectives: the modeling perspective, the information-theor ...
