Optimization model of mass and energy in the electric arc furnace using green direct reduced iron
The urgent need to decrease CO 2 emissions from the steel industry has focused attention on steel production in the electric arc furnace (EAF), which produces 20% of the CO 2 emissions of the blast furnace-basic oxygen furnace (BF-BOF) route. This result is possible using high-qu...

Abstract Objective Most salmonids use pool–riffle transitions for spawning. The biological explanation appears to be associated with bedform-induced hyporheic exchanges. Despite this apparent link, spawning habitat models still rely on depth, velocity, and bed material grain size...

Address campus safety risks of e‐bikes, e‐scooters
Most days we probably see someone operating an e‐bike or e‐scooter on a road or street. Especially in the last 10 years, this has become an increasingly common mode of transport — which is particularly true for the young adults on our college campuses.

After the Programmer Divide: One Measure for People Who Build Through AI Agents
The verified delegation horizon, amplification gain, a dated map of role names, and 41 registered predictions scored each year until 2031. A bookkeeper asks an agent for a reconciliation tool; a developer asks one to change a billing system. Each must accept a day's work and show...

This paper proposes an experimental design that could, in principle, detect the motion of the Earth through the ether, if such an ether exists, while Lorentz transformations remain valid between moving frames within the ether. In other words, it is assumed that Lorentz transforma...

Graphene-Like-Armored Nanosheet Assemblies toward Fast and Stable High-Mass-Loading Sodium Storage
Abstract Sodium-ion batteries represent promising energy storage devices, yet their deployment is severely hampered by sluggish ion-transport kinetics and unstable electrode–electrolyte interfacial chemistry that deteriorate rate capability and cycling lifespan, particularly unde...

Setting up research on the ship-trawl system
Fishing catamarans are used by fishermen in the coastal zone and in inland waters. Catamarans have proven themselves well for seaweed extraction. Another area of effective operation of such vessels is scientific research with their use at sea latitudes. The advantages of catamara...
