Recent Submissions
-
(2019-08)Sensors are used to understand the condition and flow of mineral processes. Having accurate and precise information is fundamental for proper operation. Even small errors are relevant to cost when considering the operational ...
-
(2019-05)Rare earth elements (REEs) are a group of seventeen elements that include scandium, yttrium, and fifteen of the lanthanide series elements, which are used in a variety of consumer goods and for defense purposes. Acquiring ...
-
(2018-12)Unfrozen water within cation-treated, fine-grained frozen soils is a key element in cold regions engineering, and is heavily influenced by the surface charge of the soil's clay component. This study investigated the effects ...
-
(1995)In an attempt to study the mechanics of diamond core drilling in rocks, an investigation on rock drillability was conducted at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. A series of drilling and coring tests was conducted on six ...
-
(2011)This study analyzes historical cost data of 412 pipelines and 220 compressor stations. On the basis of this analysis, the study also evaluates the feasibility of an Alaska in-state gas pipeline using Monte Carlo simulation ...
-
(2011)Entrapment of pollutants in a deep open pit operating in a cold climate could occur due to atmospheric inversion. The process of air inversion is complex and requires thorough understanding in order to design a mine ...
-
(2009)A numerical model for delineating the temperature-velocity relationship of freezing porous media and soil is developed in Matlab based on Leclaire's Biot-type three-phase theory. Leclaire's theory gives lower sonic velocities ...
-
(2007)Gas hydrates represent a huge potential future resource of natural gas. However, significant technical issues need to be resolved before this enormous resource can be considered to be an economically producible reserve. ...
-
(2006)The Fort Knox Mine, located 25 miles northeast of Fairbanks, Alaska, is operated in a sub-Antic environment. Since process slurry temperatures cycle seasonally with air temperature, the mine presents a unique opportunity ...
-
Gis-Based Approaches To Slope Stability Analysis And Earthquake -Induced Landslide Hazard Zonation (2006)This dissertation presents newly developed GIS-based deterministic and probabilistic approaches for slope stability analysis and earthquake-induced landslide hazard zonation. The described approaches combine numerical slope ...
