Developments in the production of soderberg paste for electrodes in ferro alloy furnaces
No full textUsing raw petroleum coke as raw-material, NML has devel-oped a dense carbon aggregate as a substitute for gas calcined anthracite. This dense carbon aggregate has been used for making soderberg paste, the properties of which have been studied and compared with a Norwegian and two indigenous pastes. The suitability of this material has been tested on a commercial scale in ferro alloy and pig iron furnaces.
Attempts also have been made to produce dense carbon aggregate by partial replacement of petroleum coke with low ash coal and the study of its properties have been described in this paper
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods

The autonomous adaptation of US homes to changing temperatures
No full textLittle is known about how households adapt to climate change. Previous research has focused on geographical differences in fuel choice and air conditioning. Using a twenty-eight-year panel of homes, we conducted the first longitudinal analysis of eight categories of adaptations and their impact on electricity, gas, and water expenditures. Exposure to cold or warm days correlates with increased spending on doors, windows, equipment, insulation, energy, and water. Our findings suggest cooling costs will rise, offset by lower heating costs. We predict a significant increase in electricity and water use during summer, leading to seasonal utility adjustments.Full Tex
