This book provides a holistic approach of integrated mine planning and scheduling to optimize mining projects using the discounted cash flow rate of return (DCF-ROR) method. There are nine chapters in the book. Chapter 1 is the Introduction, which provides overviews of mineral assets, minerals in Australia, mineral exploration, mining methods, and significance of valuation, optimization, and integrated mine planning. Chapter 2 is the Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves Estimation, including grade composition method, inverse distance weighting method, ordinary Kriging method and block...

This book explores the mechanisms behind high-speed railway (HSR) traffic accidents caused by natural disasters, employing the concept of “dynamic tracking, situation assessment, and early warning management”. It establishes a natural disaster warning system for ensuring the safety of HSR operations, while providing insightful management measures and methods that address the challenges posed by natural disasters. By analyzing the current state and objective circumstances of HSR safety operations, this book distinguishes itself from similar publications both domestically and...

This book discusses the science of footwear traction and its relationship with slips and falls. It presents a detailed introduction to slips and falls and how crucial footwear traction is to avoid such incidents. The book covers ergonomics involved in the development of tread designs and the study of their effect on traction across footwear and systematically modified shoes. It discusses characterization techniques employed in the study of footwear traction across normal gait activities, such as walking and running and in sports, such as sprinting, basketball, and football. The book also...
