Smit, Jean-Paul (author)Deep-learning (DL) models could greatly advance the automation of fact-checking, yet have not widely been adopted by the public because of their hard-to-explain nature. Although various techniques have been proposed to use local explanations for the behaviour of DL models, little attention has been paid to global explanations. <br/>In response,...bachelor thesis 2023

Alhaddad, S.M.S. (author), Mehta, D. (author), Helmons, R.L.J. (author)We present an effective design of a hydraulic, polymetallic nodule collector, which fundamentally depends on the Coandă effect in harvesting nodules. The design was first developed based on 2D numerical simulations conducted using a computational fluid dynamics tool, ANSYS FLUENT. Following that, the design was tested in full-scale experiments,...journal article 2023

Alhaddad, S.M.S. (author), Helmons, R.L.J. (author)To date, hydraulic collection is the most widely considered technology in polymetallic-nodule mining, since there is no direct contact between hydraulic collectors and ocean floor. To construct a hydraulic collector that results in the least sediment disturbance, it is critical to develop an insightful understanding of the interaction between...journal article 2023

Cipriani, L. (author)The Rhenish crater is one of Europe’s largest and deepest open-cast coal mines. Humans have transformed the landscape to the point of giving life to a new geological era. The mine is the symbol of humanity’s power over territorial, environmental, and climatic transformations at impressive levels of scale and scope.<br/>This contribution sums up...book chapter 2023

Zhao, Jiale (author), Yang, Fu Qiang (author), Guo, Yong (author), Ren, X. (author)As the shallow mineral resources are nearly depleted, the mining of deep resources has become an urgent problem to be studied. The increase in mine depth can lead to the increase of mine heat hazard, which is a critical concern for mining safety/occupational health and safety. However, there are limited review articles available regarding the...review 2023

Cano-Londoño, Natalia A. (author), Capaz, Rafael Silva (author), Hasenstab, Christian (author), Velásquez, Héctor I. (author), McIntyre, Neil (author), Corder, Glen D. (author), Posada Duque, J.A. (author)Purpose: Gold mining has historically and significantly contributed to the Colombian economy. Gold extraction in Colombia is mainly done through two techniques: open-pit and alluvial mining. In this study, the environmental impacts of both these mining systems were analyzed using the life cycle assessment (LCA) framework, including...journal article 2023

Elerian, M.F.A.I. (author), Huang, Ziyang (author), van Rhee, C. (author), Helmons, R.L.J. (author)We have developed and investigated a hydrodynamic model of Deep-Sea Mining (DSM) collector turbidity flows that captures sediment particle aggregation and breakup. Flocculation is expected to have a significant impact on determining the spread patterns of the turbidity flows and the resulting turbidity currents. The recently validated drift...journal article 2023

Yang, Fuqiang (author), Huang, Yujie (author), Tao, Jing (author), Reniers, G.L.L.M.E. (author), Chen, Chao (author)It is well known that safety climate (SC) has paramount significance in safety science and accident prevention. In this paper, a bibliometric data mining is conducted to systematically review the research domain of SC. Overall, 1624 documents on SC are obtained, covering 4830 authors, 473 journals, 89 countries/regions, and 1766 institutions...review 2023

van Duijvenbode, J.R. (author), Soleymani Shishvan, M. (author)The results of dig limit delineation in open pit mining are never truly optimized due to gaps in the underlying data, such as insufficient sampling. Aside from the data uncertainty, there is also an influence on the final dig limit by either humans or by the heuristic character of an optimization method like simulated annealing. Several dig...journal article 2022

Kloppenburg, Mayke (author)Nowadays, software is an integral part of many companies. However, the codebase can grow large and complicated and is often insufficiently documented. To gain insight, tools have been made to infer state machines and process models from software logs. These tools produce different types of models such as automata and Petri nets. The main...master thesis 2022

LI, CHANGLIN (author)The brine generated from desalination is a threat to the environment, and its disposal has been a great challenge. A new concept Zero liquid discharge (ZLD) can minimize the environmental impact of brine. However, the high costs for construction and running of a ZLD plant limits its growth in desalination market. Therefore, a new strategy...student report 2022

Meijer, Tim (author)The goal of a mining operation is to extract the maximum value from exploiting the orebody. The equipment used by these mining operations has a nominally rated performance to achieve needed annual production. However, this nominally rated performance is not achieved during operations. This study assesses the underlying causes of reduced shovel...master thesis 2022

Machielsen, Anne-Linn (author)With the growing threats of climate change, plans such as the European Green Deal (EGD) aim to mitigate climate change effects. However, the mining needed for the materials for renewable energy technologies could exacerbate threats to biodiversity and other ecosystems.

Lachtara, Damian (author)The departure from coal in Poland results in the process of decommissioning the underground coal mines. These, based in the region of Upper Silesia, recently undergo a paradigm shift ‘from mining coal to mining water’, as the discharge of the groundwaters is crucial for underground security. <br/><br/>Rather than an obstacle, the discharged...master thesis 2022
