Estimation of Temperature Conductivity Coefficient Impact upon Fatigue Damage of Material [PDF]
, 2015 In the paper we consider the peculiarities of adhesive wear of cutting tools. Simulation of heat flows in the cutting zone showed that, as thermal conduction and heat conductivity of tool material grow, the heat flows from the front and back surfaces to ...

Categorization of plastic debris on sixty-six beaches of the Laurentian Great Lakes, North America
Environmental Research Letters, 2022 The Laurentian Great Lakes system is a major global sink for plastic debris. An area of 10 m ^2 on each of sixty-six Great Lakes beaches was sampled for large micro-, meso- and macroplastic items.

Macroplastic Debris Transfer in Rivers: A Travel Distance Approach
Frontiers in Water, 2021 Plastic accumulation in the marine environment is a major concern given the harmful effects and longevity of plastics at sea. Although rivers are likely to significantly contribute to the flux of plastic to marine systems, the behaviour of plastic debris

Macroplastic in Seabirds at Mirny, Antarctica [PDF]
Birds, 2020 Plastic debris makes up the majority of marine debris around the world, and pollution is a serious threat to marine wildlife. Threats represent two types of biological interactions with plastic: entanglement and ingestion. This paper describes interactions of seabirds with plastic in Mirny and draw the attention of researchers to the existing problem ...

What is with all the plastic garbage everywhere and where does it go? [PDF]
, 2020 Despite countless efforts in recycling, awareness, and limited legislation, plastic pollution has continued to spiral out of control due to massive production/use and the inability to naturally decompose.

A Methodology to Characterize Riverine Macroplastic Emission Into the Ocean
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018 Land-based macroplastic is considered one of the major sources of marine plastic debris. However, estimations of plastic emission from rivers into the oceans remain scarce and uncertain, mainly due to a severe lack of standardized observations.

Rapid Landscape Changes in Plastic Bays Along the Norwegian Coastline
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 The Norwegian Coastal Current transports natural debris and plastic waste along the Norwegian coastline. Deposition occurs in so-called wreck-bays and includes floating debris, such as seaweed, driftwood and volcanic pumice, and increasing amounts of ...
