Marine Debris Survey Manual [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
Over the last several years, concern has increased about the amount of man-made materials lost or discarded at sea and the potential impacts to the environment. The scope of the problem depends on the amounts and types of debris.

On the Formulation of Basal Debris Drag for the Case of Sparse Debris [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Glaciology, 1988
AbstractTwo models are presented for the formulation of abrasion and basal drag due to rock–rock friction (debris drag) for the case of sparse debris entrained in the basal layers of a temperate glacier resting on a bedrock bed. The first model is formulated in terms of average basal melting rate, va, and the concentration, C, of basal debris fragments

RhoA and Rac1 as Mechanotransduction Mediators in Colorectal Cancer

open access: yesAdvanced Biology, EarlyView.
Analysing RhoA and Rac1 protein levels in Colorectal cancer (CRC) samples under mechanical strain highlights their potential as diagnostic markers. Monitoring their activity could offer valuable insights into how cancer spreads, paving the way for new approaches to better understand and diagnose colorectal cancer.

HMGB1 Derived from the Pyroptotic Microenvironment Promotes Macrophage Extracellular Traps in Hirschsprung‐Associated Enterocolitis

open access: yesAdvanced Biology, EarlyView.
HMGB1 derived from the pyroptotic environment in Hirschsprung‐associated enterocolitis mediates the formation of macrophage extracellular traps through TLR4 ‐p38 MAPK/p65 NF‐kB signaling pathways. Macrophage extracellular traps induce increased ROS production and pyroptosis of colonic epithelial cells.

Understanding the Fragmentation Pattern of Marine Plastic Debris.

open access: yesEnvironmental Science and Technology, 2016
The global estimation of microplastic afloat in the ocean is only approximately 1% of annual global plastic inputs. This reflects fundamental knowledge gaps in the transformation, fragmentation, and fates of microplastics in the ocean. In order to better

Removing Orbital Debris with Lasers

open access: yes, 2011
Orbital debris in low Earth orbit (LEO) are now sufficiently dense that the use of LEO space is threatened by runaway collisional cascading. A problem predicted more than thirty years ago, the threat from debris larger than about 1 cm demands serious ...
