How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

A method for the numerical solution of an axisymmetric problem in a model that describes the change in temperature and coordinates of the free boundary in a cylindrical contact is considered. The mathematical model consists of an inhomogeneous heat equation with variable coefficients and an additional differential equation for the kinetics of phase changing, but there is no differential equation for a free boundary in it. This is the main difference from Stefan's free-boundary approach, where solving 2-3-dimensional problems is very difficult. The method was used earlier to solve a one-dimensional problem and a satisfactory agreement with the solution of the corresponding Stefan problem was obtained.
