End point prediction of basic oxygen furnace (BOF) steelmaking based on improved bat-neural network

open access: yesMetalurgija, 2019
A mixed bat optimization algorithm based on chaos and differential evolution (CDEBA) is proposed for the endblow process of basic oxygen furnance (BOF) after sub-lance detection, and a prediction model based on BP neural network optimized by chaotic ...

Forces Behind South Australia's Unusual Structural Changes Since 1840

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The agricultural sector's share of GDP in growing economies typically declines but, for a century from the early 1850s, Australia's did not. That trend is most evident for the former colony and now State of South Australia (SA). Moreover, that share for SA has been almost flat since 1980 as well, along with the agricultural sector's share of ...

Do Rivals' Trade Secret Protections Affect a Firm's Trade Credit? Evidence From the Inevitable Disclosure Doctrine

open access: yesEuropean Financial Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Using the staggered adoption of the Inevitable Disclosure Doctrine (IDD) across U.S. states, this study examines whether legal protection of trade secrets granted to a firm's rivals affects the firm's trade credit when it is not similarly protected.

Output Quality, Productivity, and Demand: Evidence from the Chinese Steel Industry

open access: yesThe RAND Journal of Economics, Volume 57, Issue 3, Page 784-807, Autumn (Fall) 2026.
ABSTRACT Unobserved objective output quality complicates the analysis of firm productivity and demand because higher‐quality products entail higher costs but offer greater consumption benefits. Using a panel of firms with output quality data, we decompose quantity‐based productivity into fundamental productivity and the costs of quality, and separate ...

Benchmarking Coaxial and Angular Optical Emission Spectroscopy With Recommendations for Reliable Compositional In Situ Monitoring During Laser Powder Bed Fusion

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, Volume 11, Issue 16, 21 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Real‐time insight into local chemistry is critical for reliable part quality in additive manufacturing, especially laser powder bed fusion (PBF‑LB/M), where rapid thermal cycles and localized evaporation can undermine part performance. Optical emission spectroscopy (OES) offers non‑intrusive, in situ plume monitoring, but detection geometry ...

Natural carbonation of unground steelmaking slag for assessment of direct carbon sequestration potential during outdoor storage

open access: yesJournal of CO2 Utilization
CO2 sequestration using steelmaking slag remains challenging for practical applications: one of the main barriers is the energy and costs required for accelerated carbonation. In Japan, steelmaking slag is often stored in outdoor yards for several months,

Climate‐Action Driven Emission Changes of Unintentional Persistent Organic Pollutants From Global Copper Industry

open access: yesGlobal Challenges, Volume 10, Issue 8, August 2026.
Climate action profoundly reshapes global copper production by increasing output and altering the production technology mix. These changes also raise emissions of unintentional persistent organic pollutants (UPOPs) from the copper industry, revealing a hidden pollution trade‐off that should be addressed alongside decarbonization.
