Lead poisoning in ancient Rome by Francois P. Retief, Louise Cilliers

“… Lead was known to the ancients from at least the 4th millennium BC, but its use increased markedly during Roman times, to the extent that it became a health hazard. Mines and foundry furnaces caused air pollution; lead was extensively used in plumbing; domestic utensils were made of lead and pewter, and lead salts were used in cosmetics, medicines and paints. …”

Novel Energy-Efficient Miner Monitoring System with Duty-Cycled Wireless Sensor Networks by Peng Guo, Tao Jiang, Kui Zhang

“…In this paper, we propose a localization-MAC codesign approach for the monitoring system under the environment of coal mine. With the proposed approach, the system can achieve higher localization accuracy with low energy consumption and transmission delay, compared with existing range-free localization methods for sensor nodes.…”

Expansion and Contraction of Variable Rank Coals during the Exchange Sorption of CO and CH by Grażyna Ceglarska-Stefańska, Katarzyna Zarębska

“…The influence of the physical and chemical properties and the composition of the sorbed gas on the sorption capacity of hard coal must be taken into account in an analysis of such coals as specific collectors of mine gases. The analysis presented was based on a comparison of the results of sorption and expansion studies of single gases (CO 2 and CH 4 ) and their mixtures on two hard coals (V daf : 40.87% and 22.32%). …”

Standoff Methods for the Detection of Threat Agents: A Review of Several Promising Laser-Based Techniques by J. Bruce Johnson, Susan D. Allen, Jonathan Merten, Lewis Johnson, Daniel Pinkham, Scott W. Reeve

“…Certainly detecting trace levels of threat agents against a complex background is chief among these challenges; however, the related issues of multiple target distances (from standoff to proximity) and sampling time scales (from passive mines to rapid rate of march convoy protection) for different applications make it unlikely that a single technique will be ideal for all sensing situations. …”
