Marine Plastic Drift from the Mekong River to Southeast Asia

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
Southeast Asia is the world’s most polluted area in terms of marine plastics. The Mekong River is one of the largest rivers in the area, and ranked as somewhere between the 8th- and 11th-biggest contributor to plastics in the world’s oceans.

Experimental investigation of wave-induced motions of an obliquely moving ship [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The lateral drift appears due to the effects of wind forces and/or wave drifting forces for a ship sailing in actual sea. The effects of wind forces and / or wave drifting forces in views of lateral drift for ship moving with certain forward speed have ...

Detection of Yarkovsky acceleration in the context of precovery observations and the future Gaia catalogue

open access: yes, 2015
The Yarkovsky effect is a weak non-gravitational force leading to a small variation of the semi-major axis of an asteroid. Using radar measurements and astrometric observations, it is possible to measure a drift in semi-major axis through orbit ...

Metropolis Integration Schemes for Self-Adjoint Diffusions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We present explicit methods for simulating diffusions whose generator is self-adjoint with respect to a known (but possibly not normalizable) density. These methods exploit this property and combine an optimized Runge-Kutta algorithm with a Metropolis ...

Numerical Study of Drift Influence on Diffusion Transport through the Hybrid Membrane

open access: yesMembranes, 2022
Sodium alginate membranes filled with iron oxide nanoparticles consist of a mixture of organic and inorganic phases. This design offers the possibility to combine the polymer’s easy processability and superior separation performance.

Adherence to Protocol Recommendations for Children With Wilms Tumour in Two Consecutive Studies in the United Kingdom and Ireland—Does Variation Matter?

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Wilms tumour (WT) has excellent event‐free and overall survival (OS). However, small differences exist between countries participating in the same international study. This led us to examine variation in adherence to protocol recommendations as a potential contributing factor.

Hiding a drift

open access: yes, 2009
In this article we consider a Brownian motion with drift of the form \[dS_t=\mu_t dt+dB_t\qquadfor t\ge0,\] with a specific nontrivial $(\mu_t)_{t\geq0}$, predictable with respect to $\mathbb{F}^B$, the natural filtration of the Brownian motion $B=(B_t)_{

Species and life stages of Odonata nymphs sampled with large drift nets in two Wisconsin rivers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Because relatively few nymphs of Odonata are caught in most drift studies, they have been inconsistently reported and little is known about the species and life stages that are predisposed to drift.

Sirolimus for Extracranial Arteriovenous Malformations: A Scoping Review of the Evidence in Syndromic and Non‐Syndromic Cases

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are rare, high‐flow, vascular anomalies that can occur either sporadically or as part of a genetic syndrome. AVMs can progress with serious morbidity and even mortality if left unchecked. Sirolimus is an mTOR inhibitor that is effective in low‐flow vascular malformations; however, its role in AVMs is unclear.

It's Okay to Call Genetic Drift a “Force” [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
One hotly debated philosophical question in the analysis of evolutionary theory concerns whether or not evolution and the various factors which constitute it (selection, drift, mutation, and so on) may profitably be considered to be “forces” in the ...
