Model Development to Study Uncertainties in Electric Arc Furnace Plants to Improve Their Economic and Environmental Performance

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 majicontrast red element Cr are taken into account.The model enables simulations of a charge prog

Patterns of Acehnese Reduplication in Early Literary Works

Reduplication is a morphological operation in many Austronesian languages, including Acehnese.This process is very productive in Acehnese, and it occurs with many patterns.This study aims to find out the reduplication patterns in Acehnese based on nine literary works written in the 19th century or earlier.The study also focuses on reduplicated patt
