The increased use of electric arc furnace (EAF) steelmaking using up to 100% direct reduced iron (DRI) has prompted an interest in better control of phosphorus since iron ore and, consequently, DRI have Pillow Covers higher phosphorus and silica compared to scrap.There is limited work reported on slag chemistries corresponding to that in the EAF wh

Abstract Background Freezing injury is a devastating yet common damage that occurs to winter rapeseed during the overwintering period which directly reduces the yield and causes heavy economic loss.Thus, it is an important and urgent task for crop breeders to find the freezing-tolerant rapeseed materials in the process of breeding.Existing large-sc

The horizontal kinetic energy of the fluid flow, from on-land wind to ocean tidal stream, is one of the most promising sources of the energy.In the field of renewable energies, power extraction from Flow Induced Vibration (FIV) of bluff bodies is a fast growing research area Gravel which has seen a great advancement over the last decade.In this stu

We describe our efforts towards building a tool that automatically verify Mixers high-level functional properties of Ethereum smart contracts against its formal specification that can be given using four different methods: an invariant over contract state or three different types of trace properties.A model of runtime system, the source code of sma
