85 dBA: is it protective enough to prevent hearing loss in South African miners?

Author: Edwards, A Date: Sep 2009 The Occupational Exposure Limit (OEL) for noise is legislated to be 85 dBA. However, owing to the energy of different frequencies the effect on the ear by sounds of different frequencies is known to vary. Also, there is recent evidence of the ... Read more
ABox abduction in ALC using a DL tableau

Author: Halland, K ; Britz, K Date: Oct 2012 The formal definition of abduction asks what needs to be added to a knowledge base to enable an observation to be entailed by the knowledge base. ABox abduction in description logics (DLs) asks what ABox statements need to be added to a DL ... Read more
Abundance estimation of spectrally similar minerals

Author: Debba, Pravesh Date: Jul 2009 This paper evaluates a spectral unmixing method for estimating the partial abundance of spectrally similar minerals in complex mixtures. The method requires formulation of a linear function of individual spectra of individual minerals. The ... Read more
