1. Multi-stage dumping sequence - a feasible waste management alternative for open pit mining
Abstract Waste management and environmental aspects are progressively gathering attention in the mining industry. Mine planners must deal with increasingly complex tasks to balance between ore block schedules, waste disposal, operational cost and environmental reclamation. The mine incomes are generally related to mining and processing of the ore, thus most

5. Optimum mine production rate based on price uncertainty
Abstract The production rate of a mining operation has an important effect on the operational cycle and gross profit, which are often evaluated based on engineering practices. Assessment of the economic performance of mine operations in mining engineering is of great importance because an incorrect production rate can result in significant financial losses.

8. High pressure abrasive water jet for excavation purpose: a tridimensional approach for cutting strategy
Abstract High pressure abrasive water jets (HPAWJ) are an emergent excavation technology. Despite being used for several applications since the nineteenth century, it is only in recent decades that this excavation purpose has been considered. This is the result of evolution in high pressure pump technology and parameter investigation. Special highlight shoul

9. Scenario reduction using machine learning techniques applied to conditional geostatistical simulation
Abstract One of the basic factors in mine operational optimization is knowledge regarding mineral deposit features, which allows to predict its behavior. This could be achieved by conditional geostatistical simulation, which allows to evaluate deposit variability (uncertainty band) and its impacts on project economics. However, a large number of realizations

10. Spatial Forest Planning for Optimized Harvest Scheduling
ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to develop a mathematical model for the spatial forest planning of harvest activity scheduling. Thirty-eight (38) blocks were formed from stands aged 13 to 17 years considering a total area limit set to 350 hectares. The model was built in Excel ® spreadsheet and solved by CPLEX® optimization software using the Branch an

12. Trajectory Optimization of Launch Vehicles Using Object-oriented Programming
ABSTRACT: The aim of this study is to model launch vehicles with focus on 3-DOF trajectory optimization using a modular approach. Despite the large number of operational launch vehicles, they usually consist of basic components and subsystems. In other words, a launch vehicle is an assembly of stages, which in turn is divided into propellant system and engin
