Microplastics, 2023 Wetlands are being contaminated by housing developments, effluents, industrial areas, and poor sanitation, resulting in the presence of plastic polymers and the development of biofilms on these materials, which represent an elevated risk to freshwater ...

Water Resources Research, Volume 59, Issue 10, October 2023., 2023 Abstract Understanding how floating particles are transported by streaming waters is crucial in predicting the transport of plastic pollution, which is dramatically abundant in rivers, lakes, and oceans. Using particle tracking velocimetry, we investigate the motion of floating particles of different shape and size on the turbulent free surface of a ...

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 128, Issue 4, April 2023., 2023 Abstract We study the impact of the Ekman currents and Stokes drift on the surface horizontal transport and mixing properties of the Mediterranean Sea. Finite Size Lyapunov Exponents (FSLE) at the ocean surface are computed over the whole basin using 25 years of satellite altimetry derived geostrophic currents, 10‐m wind velocity and wave fields.

Coupling Between Mesoplasticity and Damage in High-cycle Fatigue [PDF]
International Journal of Damage Mechanics, 2007 The multiaxial fatigue loading in the high-cycle regime leads to localized mesoscopic plastic strain that occurs in some preferential directions of individual grains for most metallic materials. Crack initiation modeling is difficult in this fatigue regime because the scale where the mechanisms operate is not the engineering scale (macroscopic scale ...

Characterization of Mesoplastic on Albanian Beach
2024 IEEE International Workshop on Metrology for the Sea; Learning to Measure Sea Health Parameters (MetroSea)Plastic waste poses substantial risks to marine species and human health. While considerable research has been conducted on microplastics (< 5 mm) and macroplastics (> 25 mm), a significant knowledge gap regarding mesoplastics (5 – 25 mm) remains.

Spatial Distribution of Microplastics and Mesoplastics in Sediments across Hsinchu, Taiwan
Journal of Student Research, 2023 Microplastics are becoming a major environmental concern, as they are ubiquitous, but their harm is not fully understood. Since research on microplastics in sediments in urban areas is scarce, this study aimed to uncover where microplastics may be the most abundant. City center, city border, and outer city sites were examined.
