Development of an open source Debris Flow Simulator for “Sabo” (DFSS) [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences, 2023
We report the development of an open source “Debris Flow Simulator for Sabo” (DFSS). DFSS consists of three models corresponding to three geomorphological regions (mountain hillside slopes, mountain-to-plain river channels, and lower plains).

Polystyrene microplastics alter bioaccumulation, and physiological and histopathological toxicities of cadmium in the polychaete Perinereis aibuhitensis

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Heavy metal (HM) pollution in the marine environment has been of concern for decades. The potential impact of HMs carried by emerging marine pollutants such as microplastics (MPs) has attracted attention only in recent years.
