SMART MINING: JOINT MODEL FOR PARAMETRIZATION OF COAL EXCAVATION PROCESS BASED ON ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORKS
In the present paper we propose a new artificial neural network model for the estimation of coal cutting resistance and excavator performance as a nonlinear relationship between the examined input (excavator movement angle in the left and right direction, slice height and thickness, coal unit weight, compressive and shear strength) and output facto...

TIME DEPENDENT DEFORMATIONS OF A COUPLED BRIDGE: A CASE STUDY
The bridge's span structure comprises a connected beam designed to support a concrete slab poured over parallel steel supports. Simultaneously, segmental construction, shrinkage, and the flow of concrete play a significant role in stress redistribution over time. The span construction is statically indeterminate due to its connections with the abut...

ANALYSIS, COST ESTIMATION AND OPTIMIZATION OF REINFORCED CONCRETE SLAB STRENGTHENING BY STEEL AND CFRP STRIPS
As a result of the planned change of use, the imposed load on the existing reinforced concrete mezzanine slab will be significantly increased, wherefore a diagnostics and assessment of the current state of the structure has been carried out. The control calculation showed that the slab does not have sufficient bearing capacity for the increased loa...

APPLICATION OF HYBRID SFLA AND ACO ALGORITHM TO OMEGA PLATE FOR DRILLING PROCESS PLANNING AND COST MANAGEMENT
Tool traveling and tool switching time constitute almost seventy percent (70%) of the total timeconsumed in drilling process. This fact that 70% of the total time is nonproductive and does not add any value to the job, grabs attention of the researchers and the industrialist for optimization. A literature on drilling process revealed that very few ...

CONTROL FACTORS OF IRON MINERALIZATION IN THE METALLOGENY OF THE LJUBIJA ORE REGION
The control factors of mineralization in the Ljubija ore region are stratigraphic, lithological, magmatogenic, structural-tectonic and hypergenic. The distribution of iron ores in the Ljubija ore region is primarily controlled by the spread of the Olistostrome member of the Carboniferous Javorik flysch formation. Only that member, whether uncovered...

ON THE ABRASIVE WEAR HIGH STRENGTH COATING LAYERS ON MACHINE PARTS TESTING
Plasma coating technology was applied to machine parts. During application, the jet formed hits the surface of the material and particles are deposited on the surface. In this way, layers of high thickness can be applied and thus revitalize worn machine parts. The paper examines the abrasion resistance of Al2O3 and Al2O3 phosphate layers applied to...

STRATEGY OPTIMIZATION FOR RESPONDING TO PRIMARY, SECONDARY AND RESIDUAL RISKS CONSIDERING COST AND TIME DIMENSIONS IN PETROCHEMICAL PROJECTS
Risk management throughout the project life cycle, from the initial phase beginning to the final phase, ended continuously and dynamically, is one of the basic requirements for the success of any project oriented organization. To effectively identify and manage risks at all stages of the project, careful selection must be made at all levels of the ...

THE SIGNIF ICANCE OF HARVEST RESIDUES IN THE SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT OF ARABLE LAND. II. HARVEST RESIDUES MANAGEMENT
Harvest residues (HR) are one of the important aspects of sustainable management in agriculture, representing a significant portion of organic matter (OM) that can be retained or removed from agroecosystems. There are several ways to manage plant residues: (i) burning, (ii) incorporation in soil, (iii) leaving plant residues after harvest on the s...

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF OLD-GROWTH STANDS JANJ AND LOM USING VEGETATION INDICES
Old-growth forests represent a very valuable field for research of natural processes. The application of remote sensing was carried out on two old-growth forests in the northwestern part of the Republic of Srpska. The sample plots from OG Janj show relatively higher mean values (NDVI, SAVI and EVI) compared to OG Lom, with the exception of the VARI...
