COMMUNICATION OF SENSOR DATA IN UNDERGROUND MINING ENVIRONMENTS: AN EVALUATION OF WIRELESS SIGNAL QUALITY OVER DISTANCE

Communication of Sensor Data in Underground Mining Environments: An Evaluation of Wireless Signal Quality over Distance

The technologies of the fourth industrial revolution have the potential to make zero harm possible for the first time in the history of mining.In the journey toward zero harm, rock stress monitoring systems are important for the risk management process.Although communication systems for underground mining have improved significantly over the past t

Livestock-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (LA-MRSA) isolates of swine origin form robust biofilms.

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) colonization of livestock animals is common and prevalence rates for pigs have been reported to be as high as 49%.Mechanisms contributing to the persistent carriage and high prevalence rates of livestock-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (LA-MRSA) strains in swine herds and pro

Calculation of the Point of Application (Centre of Pressure) of Force and Torque Imparted on a Spherical Object from Gyroscope Sensor Data, Using Sports Balls as Practical Examples

This study investigates the determination of the centre of pressure (COP) on spherical sports objects such as cricket balls and footballs using gyroscope data from Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs).Conventional pressure sensors are not suitable for capturing the tangential forces responsible for torque generation.This research Body Oil presents a n

Quantifying the Relationship between Antibiotic Use in Food-Producing Animals and Antibiotic Resistance in Humans

It is commonly asserted that agricultural production systems must use fewer antibiotics in food-producing animals in order to mitigate the global spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR).In order APRICOT OIL to assess the cost-effectiveness of such interventions, especially given the potential trade-off with rural livelihoods, we must quantify more
