A statistical model is developed in order to simulate the melt composition in electric arc furnaces (EAFs) with respect to uncertainties in (1) scrap composition, (2) scrap weighing and (3) element distribution factors.The tramp element Cu and alloying element Cr are taken into account.The model enables simulations of a charge program as well as ba
Cyanobacterial harmful algal bloom (CyanoHAB) proliferation is a global problem impacting ecosystem and human health.Western Lake Erie (WLE) typically endures two highly toxic CyanoHABs during summer: a Microcystis spp.bloom in Maumee Bay that extends throughout the western basin, and a Planktothrix spp.bloom in Sandusky Bay.Recently, the USA and C
Tuberculosis (TB) exhibits considerable spatial heterogeneity, occurring in clusters that may act as hubs of community transmission.We evaluated the impact of an intervention targeting spatial TB hotspots in a rural region of Ethiopia.To evaluate the impact of targeted active case finding (ACF), we used a spatially structured mathematical model tha
Prior to this study, the earliest appearance of circulating endothelial cells in warm-blooded animals was unknown.Time-lapse imaging of germ-line transformed Tie1-YFP reporter quail embryos combined with the endothelial marker antibody QH1 provides definitive evidence for the existence of circulating endothelial cells - from the very beginning of b
