MODEL DEVELOPMENT TO STUDY UNCERTAINTIES IN ELECTRIC ARC FURNACE PLANTS TO IMPROVE THEIR ECONOMIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE

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) Vacuum Motor Carbon Brushes 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

Detection of blaKPC and blaNDM carbapenemase genes among Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia: Dominance of blaNDM.

BackgroundInfections caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae have been difficult to control because of the worldwide emergence of carbapenem-resistant isolates mainly due to carbapenemase production.Information regarding carbapenemase-producing K.pneumoniae is still scarce in Ethiopia.Therefore, the current study aimed to determine the prevalence of carbap
