Abstract A simple and generic model for the heat distribution in electrodes primary metal production has been investigated. The equations have analyzed focusing on understanding scale-up of under both direct current (DC) alternating (AC) conditions. analysis provides a theoretical foundation Westly’s empirical rule. For graphite small carbon electrodes, current-carrying capacity is limited by o...

OBJECTIVES Behavioral interventions are effective strategies for HIV/AIDS prevention and control. However, implementation of such strategies relies heavily on the accurate estimation of the high-risk population size. The multiplier method and generalized network scale-up method were recommended to estimate the population size of those at high risk for HIV by UNAIDS/WHO in 2003 and 2010, respect...

Progress in understanding the global brain dynamics has remained slow to date in largepart because of the highly multiscale nature of brain activity. Indeed, normal braindynamics is characterized by complex interactions between multiple levels: from themicroscopic scale of single neurons to the mesoscopic level of local groups of neurons,and finally to the macroscopic level of t...

Food sovereignty has struggled to make inroads into changing the structures and processes underlying the corporate food regime. One reason is that scale is still underspecified in the politics, strategies, and theories of food sovereignty. We suggest that much can be learned from examining the multiple dimensions of scale inherent in ongoing food sovereignty struggles. A gap exists between thes...
