Economic Impact Analysis of Automated Mines in Australia by Tzameret Rubin

“…Any technological solution that can increase mining production volume would yield a significant increase in value, which in turn would increase Australia’s GDP.Our findings suggest that in 2013, if 3% of Australian mines had started the process of fully automating their mines, over the next 20 years, every year on average, mining revenues would increase by nearly AUD$436 million for coal, AUD$724 million for iron ore, AUD$291 million for bauxite and AUD$105 million for copper…”

Changes in agonist neural drive, hypertrophy and pre-training strength all contribute to the individual strength gains after resistance training by Tom Balshaw, Garry J. Massey, Thomas M. Maden-Wilkinson, Antonio J. Morales-Artacho, Alexandra McKeown, Clare L. Appleby, Jonathan Folland

“…Results: Percentage changes (∆) in MVT were correlated to ∆QEMGMVT (r = 0.576, P = 0.001), ∆QUADSVOL (r = 0.461, P = 0.014), and pre-training MVT (r = −0.429, P = 0.023), but not ∆HEMGANTAG (r = 0.298, P = 0.123) or ∆QUADSθp (r = −0.207, P = 0.291). Multiple regression analysis revealed 59.9% of the total variance in ∆MVT after RT to be explained by ∆QEMGMVT (30.6%), ∆QUADSVOL (18.7%), and pre-training MVT (10.6%). …”
