Impacts of marine litter on cetaceans: a focus on plastic pollution

, 2018
Marine litter has become a pervasive pollution problem affecting all of the world's seas. It is widely documented that marine litter, in particular plastic, has negative impacts on marine wildlife, primarily due to ingestion and entanglement.

Evolution of Pigments in Artificially Aged Polyethylene Plastics: A Raman Study

Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.
The evolution of specific pigments included in plastics exposed to UVA is studied using Raman spectroscopy. This approach is applicable to both organic and inorganic pigments and is facilitated by resonance mechanisms. ABSTRACT The degradation mechanisms of polymers under UV exposure and the evolution of additives are a major concern due to their ...

Disclosing the production of fungal chitinases and proteases using insect by‐products as substrates in solid‐state fermentation

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND The world population is projected to reach nearly 9.7 billion by 2050, significantly increasing the demand for novel and sustainable protein sources. Edible insects, such as Tenebrio molitor, emerge as promising alternatives due to their high nutritional value, but adult insects and frass are direct and abundant by‐products of this ...

Synergistic and Trade‐Off Effects of Plant Communities on Slope Runoff and Sediment Yield

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant community functional structure plays an important role in regulating slope runoff and sediment yield on the Loess Plateau. Based on runoff plot monitoring and vegetation surveys in the Yangjuangou catchment, we used partial least squares regression (PLSR) and variable importance in projection (VIP) analysis to assess the effects of ...

The impact of plastic pollution in the marine environment

, 2023
Είναι γεγονός ότι οι ανθρώπινες δραστηριότητες στους ωκεανούς έχουν αυξηθεί σημαντικά τις τελευταίες δεκαετίες. Η επέκταση των παράκτιων και θαλάσσιων δραστηριοτήτων έχει αναμφίβολα επηρεάσει δυσμενώς το θαλάσσιο περιβάλλον, ενώ επηρεάζει θεμελιωδώς τα αγαθά του οικοσυστήματος.

Automatization of multistep sample preparation for microplastics monitoring in aquatic environments

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Microplastics (MP) have been found in every environmental compartment in urban and remote areas. Although their ubiquity is widely recognized, the lack of harmonized protocols for sampling, sample preparation, and particle identification/quantification hinders comparability among studies.

Gamma Irradiation‐Based Free Radical Grafting of N‐Hydroxyethyl Acrylamide onto Poly[(R)‐3‐hydroxybutyrate]

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
This work demonstrates successful gamma‐radiation‐induced grafting of N‐hydroxyethyl acrylamide onto poly[(R)‐3‐hydroxybutyrate], producing substantial changes in material properties. Grafting generated a biphasic, less crystalline structure with enhanced thermal stability, elongation (65%), toughness (378% increase), and exceptional water uptake (610 ...

Analysis of Carbohydrates and Glycoconjugates by Matrix‐Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Mass Spectrometry: An Update for 2023–2024

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The use of MALDI mass spectrometry for the analysis of carbohydrates and glycoconjugates is a well‐established technique and this comprehensive review is the twelfth update of the original article published in 1999 and brings coverage of the literature to the end of 2024.

Declines in the diversity of fish represented in British domestic recipes over the past 100 years

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Fish and shellfish are nutritionally important foods, yet consumption in many high‐income countries remains low and concentrated on a narrow set of environmentally costly species. In the United Kingdom, fish consumption is dominated by a small group of fish, the ‘Big Five’, which is often treated as an inevitable outcome of supply, convenience
