This study presents a novel method to evaluate the safety of open-pit slopes by means of three-dimensional numerical modeling with the finite difference method. The method presented here uses a block model as a vehicl...
Thermal power plants are present in the Brazilian electrical matrix (8% in 2022) and worldwide (61.5% in 2021). Combustion engines are used to drive generators in most thermal power plants, serving as the main sources...
The aim of this study was to describe waste management practices at Kisangani’s central market and the associated factors. A cross-sectional analytical study was carried out among 403 users of the Kisangani central m...
To decipher both shallow and deeper structural features that may control the emplacement of Kimberlite/Lamproite bodies in basement-exposed and covered areas, a detailed gravity survey was conducted on the northern ba...
Soil integrity and fertility is on high risk due to water erosion, it’s not only disturbed cropping practices but also damages the ecosystem of the land. In this study, the combination of GIS and RUSLE modeling are u...
Forests are facing several challenges related to forest deforestation mostly due to the actions of man. The study used a CA-Markov model to examine land use/land cover dynamics from 1986 to 2022, as well as estimate f...
Research on habitat quality in ecologically vulnerable areas has gained attention due to mountain urbanization and climate change. However, the absence of comprehensive reviews limits a systematic understanding of hab...
Better benches design enables to optimizes the risks of instabilities, to guarantee maximum of the ore recovery with minimum waste stripping. This requires detailed data on their geometric properties and the mechanica...
This paper analyses microclimate parameters viz. rainfall, temperature, relative humidity, heat index, wind speed, wind direction, atmospheric pressure, dew point, air dust and air density around the Twangiza gold min...
It is essential to investigate the impact of tropical highland open pit gold mines on surface and groundwater quality and flow dynamics. Samples from the Twangiza gold mine, with long term mining activities, including...
