Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

We couldn’t retrieve this paper’s full text, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

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

  • Water vapor at the frost surface is supersaturated, not saturated.

    “Na and Webb [13-15] have shown that the air is supersaturated at the frost surface, as opposed to the previous assumptions that the water vapor is saturated at the frost surface.”

    From New model for frost growth rate (2004) · cites this paper as [14]

  • Several parameters affect frost formation on outdoor coils, including air velocity, air humidity, air temperature, cold surface temperature, surface energy and fin-base microscopic characteristics, fin geometry, and coil water retention after defrost cycles.

    “There are several parameters that affect frost formation on outdoor coils, such as air velocity, air humidity, air tempera ture, cold surface temperature (Kondepudi and O'Neal, 1989; Leeetal., 1997) surfaceenergyandfin basesurfacemicroscopic characteristics (include coatings and roughness or brazing fluxes) (Na and Webb, 2003; Shin et al., 2003), fin geometry and coil water retention after defrost”

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.
