Predicting the Occurrence of the Rare Elements of the Ukrainian Shield
Authors: E.M. Sheremet, S.N. Strekozov, S.G. Krivdik, T.P. Volkova et al.
In the monograph a new approach to predicting Precambrian rare-metal and rare-earth mineralization within the Ukrainian Shield is suggested. It is based on the selection of reference deposits in the rare-metal and rare-earth formation considered, with subsequent identification of geochemical and geophysical criteria for ore-bearing capacity based on the reference deposits, and the assessment of anomalous contents of certain elements by way of prediction-metallogenic maps compilation. The suggested prediction technology was applied to the Eastern Azov region territory assessment with the use of the spectral semi-quantitative analysis database (17,000 analyses for 32 elements, compiled by the Azov State Enterprise "Yuzhukrgeologiya").

Statistical Method for Determining the Efficiency of the Protective Effect of a Look-Ahead Overmining the Outburst-Prone Seams
Authors: V.P. Evdokimova, V.P. Koptikov, I.A. Yuzhanin
The statistical methods for assessing the protective effect of a look-ahead overmining the outburst-prone seams are considered in the monograph based on the representation of the physical system "protective seam - interseam - overmined seam" while taking into account the characteristics and properties of its elements. The dependence of relative deformation on the parameters of the overmined seam, both homogeneous and layered one, has been established. A statistical model for assessing the protective effect of a look-ahead overmining the outburst-prone seams has been obtained. A classifier has been elaborated to allow referring an overmined seam according to its protection degree to one of the three spheres of protective effect: the protection is efficient, inefficient or absent. Methodological recommendations for determining the efficiency of the protective effect of a look-ahead overmining the outburst-prone seams have been elaborated.

Steep Seams Development by Header Units
Authors: A.F. Ostapenko, S.P. Batygin, I.A. Yuzhanin, E.I. Pitalenko
The state of the steep seams development in the Central region of Donbas using header units is considered in the book, the design of header units 1AShch, ANShch, 2 ANShch, ADK is described. The results of multiyear research under the in-mine conditions into the correlation of movable shields under various movement schemes and steps with wall and brocken-down rocks, into the nature of behavior of various in stability wall rocks surrounding the shield mining face and the overlying mass are presented. Recommendations for header units enhancement and creation of the new ones are given.
Solving Geoecological and Social Issues in the Course of Coal Mines Operation and Closure
Authors: V.F. Yanukovych, N.Y. Azarov, A.D. Alekseev, A.V. Antsiferov, E.I. Pitalenko
The results of multiyear studies into geoecological and geomechanical processes during underground mining of coal seams in the Donbas are given in the monograph. In the science first, the data on the mechanism of processes associated with mines closure are presented. The studies performed made it possible to develop methods for predicting hazardous phenomena that can occur in the course of flooding the mined-out space in mines in case of their closure by wet closure approach. Much attention is paid to solving social issues that arise during the closure of mines in the Donbas. The monograph is intended for a wide range of scientists and engineers employed in the coal industry, and can also be useful for undergraduate and postgraduate students.

Enhancing the Means and Methods for Maintaining the Development Workings in the Mines of the Central Region of Donbas
Authors: A.P. Kalfakchiyan, V.G. Aleksandrov, E.A. Vorobyov, E.I. Pitalenko
The geological conditions for thin steep layers occurrence in the Central Region of Donbas are analyzed in the monograph, the results of their reinforcement with polymer compositions passing from a liquid to a solid state are presented. The mechanism of surfactants effect on reducing the likelihood of sudden coal and gas outbursts is explicated.
Technological Aspects of Extracting Outburst-Prone Steep-Dipping Coal Seams
Authors: N.A. Shapoval, N.A. Alyshev, D.M. Zhitlenok, Y.A. Piven, B.I. Kuritsyn, E.I. Pitalenko, A.V. Aksenov, E.V. Borisenko
The data on gas-dynamic phenomena that occurred during the 15-year period in the course of developing outburst-prone seams in the Central Region of Donbas are presented in the book along with their division by gas-dynamic activity: the results of research into the patterns of rock pressure manifestations and into the influence of technological processes on the outburst hazard, that are related to the aspects of the wall rocks displacement in the plane of the seam and of the bottomhole section of the coal mass, their stress&strain state, gas dynamics, etc. are presented. The work does not claim to be an exhaustive remedy to the entire range of issues related to reducing the outburst hazard of steep-dipping and steep seams due to the correct choice and usage of coal mining tools&methods, rock pressure management and choice of support, the parameters of such in working faces. Based on the consideration of mining-geological and geomechanical factors only several aspects of a very complicated issue are enlightened in the book, based on the results of laboratory&in-mine studies and experience in extracting outburst-prone seams.

Issues of Rock Pressure Management in Thin Steep Seams of Donbas
Authors: V.G. Alexandrov, A.V. Aksyonov, N.A. Alyshev, N.A. Shapoval, E.I. Pitalenko et al.
Reference information on the mining and geological conditions of coal seams in the Central Region of Donbas is presented in the monograph as supplemented with the authors' research data. General methods for studying the physical and mechanical properties of rocks and coals are given in a separate section along with the parameters of rock pressure manifestations in stopes and development workings. Generally accepted ideas about the nature of rock pressure, deformation processes and rock mass displacement in the course of underground mining of steep coal seams are given. The main focus of the monograph is put on the issues of research into the rock pressure parameters and methods for preventing its hazardous manifestations in stopes and development workings.
