An Efficient Deep-Sea Debris Detection Method Using Deep Neural Networks

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2021
Marine debris impacts negatively upon the marine environment and the survival of marine life because they are some difficult-to-degrade substances, and most of them will sink into the deep sea and continue to exist in the ocean.

Coordination of Cyanobacterial Nitrate Assimilation and Photosynthesis by a Novel PsbO‐Interacting Protein PirN

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
PirN was identified as a previously uncharacterized PsbO‐interacting protein specifically induced in nitrate‐grown cyanobacteria. Loss of PirN leads to coordinated downregulation of PsbO and the nitrate reductase NarB, causing decreased PSII activity and impaired growth under nitrate conditions. Complementation with either PsbO or NarB largely restores

Status of Marine Debris Damage to Adult and Young Black-Tailed Gulls (Larus crassirostris) in Their Breeding Colonies in South Korea

Diversity
Marine debris from fishing-related paraphernalia poses a threat to the survival of marine organisms, especially seabirds. Although the detrimental effects of marine debris on seabirds have been documented, studies on the extent of damage inflicted by ...

Quantitative overview of marine debris ingested by marine megafauna

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2020
This review quantifies plastic interaction in marine biota. Firstly, entanglement and ingestion records for all marine birds, mammals, turtles, fish, and invertebrate species, are summarized from 747 studies. Marine debris affected 914 species through entanglement and/or ingestion. Ingestion was recorded for 701 species, entanglement was documented for

Encoding Cumulation to Learn Perturbative Nonlinear Oscillatory Dynamics

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Weak nonlinearities critically shape the long term behavior of oscillatory systems but are difficult to identify from data. A data‐driven framework is introduced to infer governing equations of weakly nonlinear oscillators from sparse and noisy observations.

Youth Can Promote Marine Debris Concern and Policy Support Among Local Voters and Political Officials

Frontiers in Political Science, 2021
Many of the most sweeping social movements throughout history have been youth-led, including those related to environmental challenges. Emerging research suggests youth can build environmental concern among parents via intergenerational learning, in some

A global review of marine turtle entanglement in anthropogenic debris: a baseline for further action [PDF]

, 2017
Entanglement in anthropogenic debris poses a threat to marine wildlife. Although this is recognised as a cause of marine turtle mortality, there remain quantitative knowledge gaps on entanglement rates and population implications.

Combining the Pitcher and Lotus Plant: Supericephobic and Superhydrophobic Silicone Films

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Based on bench‐top nanomolding of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) with optimized silicone oil content, we developed hierarchically structured silicone films by essentially combining the properties of the lotus and pitcher plant; particularly we are able to achieve water contact angle as high as 171° and ice adhesion strength as low as 11.5 kPa (i.e ...
