Abstract
Strategic planning and execution at the Benti–Bagda Limestone Mine of M/s Jharkhand State Mineral Deve-lopment Corporation Limited (JSMDCL), India, could minimize the impacts of surface blasting on structures in nearby sensitive villages to comply with the regulatory requirements leading to resolving the complaints of villagers. Controlled blast design patterns were developed after thorough scientific evaluations using JKSimBlast simulator and blast-compliance software modules to determine the firing pattern, firing sequence and detonation time versus charge mass (kg) detonated for each of the three blast-safety zones. The study enabled the mine management to convince the local people to settle their long-pending disputes.
期刊介绍:
Current Science, published every fortnight by the Association, in collaboration with the Indian Academy of Sciences, is the leading interdisciplinary science journal from India. It was started in 1932 by the then stalwarts of Indian science such as CV Raman, Birbal Sahni, Meghnad Saha, Martin Foster and S.S. Bhatnagar. In 2011, the journal completed one hundred volumes. The journal is intended as a medium for communication and discussion of important issues that concern science and scientific activities. Besides full length research articles and shorter research communications, the journal publishes review articles, scientific correspondence and commentaries, news and views, comments on recently published research papers, opinions on scientific activity, articles on universities, Indian laboratories and institutions, interviews with scientists, personal information, book reviews, etc. It is also a forum to discuss issues and problems faced by science and scientists and an effective medium of interaction among scientists in the country and abroad. Current Science is read by a large community of scientists and the circulation has been continuously going up.
Current Science publishes special sections on diverse and topical themes of interest and this has served as a platform for the scientific fraternity to get their work acknowledged and highlighted. Some of the special sections that have been well received in the recent past include remote sensing, waves and symmetry, seismology in India, nanomaterials, AIDS, Alzheimer''s disease, molecular biology of ageing, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, Indian monsoon, water, transport, and mountain weather forecasting in India, to name a few. Contributions to these special issues ‘which receive widespread attention’ are from leading scientists in India and abroad.
