Possible Uses of Steelmaking Slag in Agriculture: An Overview

Over the past decades, the steel production has increased and, consequently, the higher volumes of by-products and residues generated have driven to the reuse of these materials in an increasingly efficient way. In recent years new technologies have been expanded, and some of them are still under developing, in order to improve the recovery rates of slags. On this subject material separation te...

Silviculture in Red Alder Stands

In the past, there has been an emphasis on conifer tree species in forestry operations in British Columbia. As a result, there is a serious lack of information regarding disease and decay problems in most hardwood tree species. This presentation reports the results of recent studies on levels of decay in natural red alder stands, and on the formation of stain in harvested alder logs. Disease pr...

ROC curves in clinical chemistry: uses, misuses, and possible solutions.

BACKGROUND ROC curves have become the standard for describing and comparing the accuracy of diagnostic tests. Not surprisingly, ROC curves are used often by clinical chemists. Our aims were to observe how the accuracy of clinical laboratory diagnostic tests is assessed, compared, and reported in the literature; to identify common problems with the use of ROC curves; and to offer some possible s...
