An analysis of the development, the problems and proposed statutory regulations for strip coal mining.
… being replaced by the claimed safer practices of strip mining. National attention was focused on strip coal mining in the 1960's with emphasis on the Appalachian Region. Rapidly increasing electrical demands from coal-fired generators have recently propelled strip mining into the western states …

Small mammal communities on a reclaimed mountaintop mine/valley fill landscape in southern West Virginia
… mine/valley fill is a large-scale form of strip mining whose effects on small mammals had not previously been examined. Small mammals were captured by Sherman trap and drift fence array (pitfall and funnel traps) on 3 treatments representing the mined landscape and intact forests …

A unified iteration space transformation framework for sparse and dense tensor algebra
… show that standard loop transformations, such as strip-mining, tiling, collapsing, parallelization and vectorization, can be applied to irregular loops over sparse iteration spaces. I also show how these transformations can be applied to the contiguous value arrays of sparse tensor data …

Simulation of hydrologic processes for surface mined lands
… land disturbed by man's activities such as the strip mining of coal may be returned to productivity. In the western United States, the availability of water is frequently the most important of these factors. To assist decision makers in land restoration efforts, a procedure is developed by which …

Integration of nuclear power with oil sands extraction projects in Canada
… to do so. Oil sands recovery involves either strip mining the sands and extracting the oil, or pumping large quantities of steam into the ground in order to free the bitumen from the sand. Traditionally, the energy to produce the steam and hot water used in this process has come from natural …

Searching West Virginia for a Democratic Response to Mountaintop Removal
Mountaintop removal is an aggressive form of strip mining practiced almost exclusively in Central Appalachia, and since 1977 has been regulated by state and federal laws. Beginning in the late 1990s, considerable controversy erupted in coal mining states like West Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee …

The distribution of the desert rain frog (breviceps macrops) in South Africa
… Africa reveals that the anthropogenic impact of strip mining for alluvial diamonds has greatly transformed much of the west coast of southern Africa including vast tracts of B. macrops habitat. Previous estimates of distribution as pertains to available habitat are found to be overly generous and …

A SIMD architecture for hard real-time systems
… Similar to GPUs, Sim-D performs hardware strip-mining to schedule the work for a compute kernel in entities called work-groups. Sim-D schedules the work for each work-group as a sequence of uninterruptible access- and execute program phases, interleaving the phases of two work-groups. By …
