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.

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

The vertical distribution and biological transport of marine microplastics across the epipelagic and mesopelagic water column. [PDF]

, 2019
Plastic waste has been documented in nearly all types of marine environments and has been found in species spanning all levels of marine food webs. Within these marine environments, deep pelagic waters encompass the largest ecosystems on Earth. We lack a

Conformation‐Modulated Lignin for Durable and High‐Output Cellulosic Triboelectric Materials Toward Self‐Powered Sensing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Conformation‐engineered alkali lignin with flexible aliphatic side chains is integrated into cellulose to suppress tribo‐induced fiber fibrillation and interfacial wear. Dynamic chain adaptability enhances frictional energy dissipation and dielectric polarization, enabling durable, high‐output triboelectric sensing with excellent recyclability and ...
