A method for the characterisation of microplastics in sludge

open access: yesMethodsX, 2019
Microplastics (MP) have become a concern owing to their increasing detection in the environment and potential impact on ecosystems. One of the main MP reservoirs is sludge generated during wastewater treatment.

Note: "Lock-in accelerometry" to follow sink dynamics in shaken granular matter [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Understanding the penetration dynamics of intruders in granular beds is relevant not only for fundamental Physics, but also for geophysical processes and construction on sediments or granular soils in areas potentially affected by earthquakes.

Nonequilibrium identities of granular vibrating beds [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We derive the integral fluctuation theorem around a nonequilibrium stationary state for frictionless and soft core granular particles under an external vibration achieved by a balance between an external vibration and inelastic collisions.

Estimating risk when zero events have been observed [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Assessing the risk of complications or adverse events following an intervention presents challenges when they have not yet occurred. Suppose, for instance, a chronic shortage of cardiac telemetry beds has prompted a hospital to implement a new policy ...

Regionalization of tourist space in Montenegro according to the accommodation facilities [PDF]

open access: yesGeographica Pannonica, 2011
For tourism development in a specific geographical area, in addition to attractive and communicative factors, it is essential that there are adequate receptive factors, that is, capacities that ensure the reception, lounge and other services to tourists.

Debris‐bed friction of hard‐bedded glaciers [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, 2005
Field measurements of debris‐bed friction on a smooth rock tablet at the bed of Engabreen, a hard‐bedded, temperate glacier in northern Norway, indicated that basal ice containing 10% debris by volume exerted local shear traction of up to 500 kPa. The corresponding bulk friction coefficient between the dirty basal ice and the tablet was between 0.05 ...

Effect of mattress deflection on CPR quality assessment for older children and adolescents [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Appropriate chest compression (CC) depth is associated with improved CPR outcome. CCs provided in hospital are often conducted on a compliant mattress. The objective was to quantify the effect of mattress compression on the assessment of CPR quality in ...

Aggressive prostate cancer is associated with pericyte dysfunction

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Tumor‐produced TGF‐β drives pericyte dysfunction in prostate cancer. This dysfunction is characterized by downregulation of some canonical pericyte markers (i.e., DES, CSPG4, and ACTA2) while maintaining the expression of others (i.e., PDGFRB, NOTCH3, and RGS5).

Microbial production of succinic acid using crude and purified glycerol from a Crotalaria juncea based biorefinery

open access: yesBiotechnology Reports, 2016
Microbial conversion of crude and purified glycerol obtained in the process of biorefining Crotalaria juncea is carried out to produce succinic acid using Escherichia coli.
