A Z, 2003(b). Emerging support concept: thin spray-on liners

ABSTRACT: Accidents resulting from rocktalls occur frequently in the vicinity of active mining faces where workers spend most of their time. Installation of conventional surface support methods has been successful in overcoming this problem. However, they are expensive, time consuming, and their thickness results in logistical problems due to large material volumes. "Thin Spray-on Liner (TSL)" is an emerging alternative surface support system with remote, rapid and easy spraying techniques. The support action of TSL is still not well understood. Currently, there is no standard test methodology for TSLs and it is not possible to evaluate the quality and performance capabilities of TSL products. Assessment of TSL performance would be possible once the design standards and requirements are determined. Only then, will more effective use of TSL be possible in any support design. This paper reviews the development of TSL as a support concept, current testing procedures and gives a brief description of the research work undertaken by the authors

New records of aphid fauna in Turkey

WOS: 000275171700002PubMed ID: 20569127Three aphid species were identified as new records for Turkey aphid fauna from Bartin province. These species are Ceruraphis viburnicola (Gillette) (Hemiptera: Aphididae), Dysaphis apiifolia (Theobald) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) and Macrosiphum mordvilkoi Miyazaki (Hemiptera: Aphididae). These records increase the recorded aphid-fauna of Turkey to 433 species.DPT Scientific Research Projects Commission [2003K121110]Financial support from DPT Scientific Research Projects Commission Project No. 2003K121110 is gratefully acknowledged
