Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Light scattering by gas bubbles becomes insignificant for the light intensity distribution as soon as the biomass concentration increases to concentrations relevant for industrial production.

    “However, this becomes insignificant for the light intensity distribution as soon as the biomass concentration increases to concentrations being relevant for industrial production [18].”
  • One can mainly distinguish between two approaches for light transfer modeling: one-dimensional model equations and the Radiative Transfer Equation (RTE).

    “One can mainly distinguish between two approaches: firstly, one-dimensional model equations which enable quick and simple estimates of the light intensity with respect to the distance from the light source [23,24,31,36,39,41,43,125] and secondly, the Radiative Transfer Equation (RTE) [18,26-28,34], whose solution requires the application of numerical methods.”
  • The purpose of the listed models covers a variety of applications, including mechanistic understanding, investigations on flashing-light effect, design optimization, and optimization of operating conditions.

    “The purpose of the listed models covers a variety of applications, including the mechanistic understanding of photobioreactors [17-21], investigations on the flashing-light effect [22-31], photobioreactor design optimization [21,22,29,32-42] and optimization of operating conditions [26,34-36,43-45].”
  • Some researchers selected solving the full RTE numerically in one or more dimensions.

    “Instead of using simplified or analytical models, some researchers selected the second approach, which is solving the full RTE numerically in one or more dimensions [18,21,26-28,34].”
  • The literature includes models for two-phase gas-liquid flows, solid-liquid flows, or three-phase gas-solid-liquid flows.

    “The literature includes models for two-phase gasliquid flows [17-19,25,39-42,44,45,125,135], solid-liquid flows [21,23,24,34,36-38,126] or three-phase gas-solid-liquid flows [19,26-31,136].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
