Orbital Debris-Debris Collision Avoidance [PDF]
Advances in Space Research, 2011 We focus on preventing collisions between debris and debris, for which there is no current, effective mitigation strategy. We investigate the feasibility of using a medium-powered (5 kW) ground-based laser combined with a ground-based telescope to ...

Plastic debris in the open ocean [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2014 Significance High concentrations of floating plastic debris have been reported in remote areas of the ocean, increasing concern about the accumulation of plastic litter on the ocean surface. Since the introduction of plastic materials in the 1950s, the global production of plastic has increased rapidly and will continue in the coming decades.

Plastic debris in lakes and reservoirs [PDF]
Nature, 2023 Plastic debris is thought to be widespread in freshwater ecosystems globally1. However, a lack of comprehensive and comparable data makes rigorous assessment of its distribution challenging2,3. Here we present a standardized cross-national survey that assesses the abundance and type of plastic debris (>250 μm) in freshwater ecosystems.

Metallicity of solar-type stars with debris discs and planets [PDF]
, 2012 Around 16% of the solar-like stars in our neighbourhood show IR-excesses due to debris discs and a fraction of them are known to host planets. We aim to determine in a homogeneous way the metallicity of a sample of stars with known debris discs and ...

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).

Debris development in fretting contacts – Debris particles and debris beds [PDF]
Tribology International, 2020 In this study, the formation and destruction of compacted beds of oxidized debris particles are investigated. Fretting tests of steel specimens were conducted, employing a cylinder-on-flat geometry with displacement amplitude being varied. The debris was examined, both in the form of the debris beds and in the form of loose debris; together, these were
