The literature review should include the researcher's evaluation and critique of the selected studies. A researcher may have a large collection of studies, but not all of the studies will follow standards important in the reporting of empirical work in the social sciences. ... Writing literature reviews: A guide for students of the social and ...
Twenty four (24) quarry soil-dust samples were collected within and outside the 12 rock aggregates and limestone quarries in southwestern Nigeria. Two samples from both in …
Residents in the community have been continuously concerned about all the negative environmental effects of the quarry. The company ignored the neighbourhood and did not know about the laws controlling quarry operations, which led to an ethical dilemma. The harm that the operations cause to people and the environment is the other ethical …

3.3.1 Limestone Quarry Operations The LCI for quarry operations includes the inputs and outputs for each of the processes depicted in Figure 1. Specifically, processes and operations represented in the inventory presented in this report include: • Removal of overburden using heavy equipment • Transfer of overburden to on-site storage
Blast-induced ground vibration is one of the most significant challenges in explosive rock fragmentation, affecting mine stability and worker and machine safety. However, limited research has suggested a correlation between slope stability and blast-induced ground vibration. Thus, improving mining sustainability requires assessing mine …
