Volume 7, Issue 2 , July 2016, Pages 185-193

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2016.515

Abstract
  Environmental impact assessment (EIA) has led to the dominance of planners on the natural environment of the regions, providing the possibility of continuously monitoring and controlling the status quo by management staff. In this regard, a new semi-quantitative model is presented for the EIA of the ...  Read More

M. Mokhtarian Asl; J. Sattarvand

Volume 7, Issue 2 , July 2016, Pages 215-227

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2016.541

Abstract
  Production planning of an open-pit mine is a procedure during which the rock blocks are assigned to different production periods in a way that leads to the highest net present value (NPV) subject to some operational and technical constraints. This process becomes much more complicated by incorporation ...  Read More
