Assessing Soft Reduction Effects on Centerline Macrosegregation in Continuous Casting Using Five Evaluation Metrics

steel research international, EarlyView.
A comprehensive framework using five complementary metrics: macroetch assessment, 2D SMXRF mapping, 1D composition profiles, the segregation coefficient (Sc), and the maximum segregation value (Vmax) is presented for evaluating centerline macrosegregation in continuously cast steel slabs.

Numerical Study of Argon Bubble Transport and Entrapment in Continuous Casting Using a Multiphase Approach

steel research international, EarlyView.
Bubble transport in continuous casting is controlled by the interaction of bubble size, flow dynamics, and operating conditions. Critical regions governing bubble escape and entrapment are identified, revealing the mechanisms responsible for defect formation and providing practical guidance for process optimization. Argon injection is often used in the

Tail wagging cats: Veterinary implications of AI‐generated video

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Generative artificial intelligence (genAI) has the capacity to create realistic and convincing animal videos; however, it must simplify and reduce behavioural variation to do so, possibly leading to misinformation. Methods We categorised 29 videos in the press release for a specific video genAI engine. Twelve featured animals.

Challenging Business Schools Through Subversive Performativity: The Potential of Art‐based Pedagogies

British Journal of Management, EarlyView.
Abstract Business schools are often criticized for reproducing growth‐oriented norms, but alternative pedagogies remain difficult to normalize. Drawing on Butler's theory of subversive performativity, this study examines how art‐based pedagogy enables academics to challenge growth logics in business schools by transforming their identities over time ...

STRATIFIED ADAPTATION: Infrastructure, Elevation, and Cascading Floods in the Urban Mekong Delta

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Flood‐prone cities in the global South are increasingly the target of infrastructure projects aimed at building climate ‘resilience’. At the same time, residents of these cities take adaptation to flooding into their own hands. In this article we examine the interrelationship between household‐scale and urban‐scale flood mitigation projects in

Effects of Calcium Hydroxide Paste and Access Cavities on Fracture Strength of Mature and Simulated Immature Human Teeth: Ex Vivo

Australian Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The aim was to examine whether a Ca(OH)2 paste affects fracture strength of teeth. Sixty extracted maxillary central incisors were prepared to simulate immature teeth. Another 40 were used as mature teeth. The ten groups (n = 10) were: (1) immature control; (2) immature + access; (3) immature + access + 1 m Ca(OH)2; (4) immature + access + 12 ...

Characteristics of the Wall Pressure in Impacting Zone at the End of Vertical Plug

工程科学与技术, 2019
The vertical plug is a new way to dissipate water energy, in which the flow can be regarded as a submerged jet, and the construction leads to the high velocity and pressure on the wall.
