Deriving reaction?diffusion models in ecology from interacting particle systems

open access: closedJournal of Mathematical Biology, 2004
We use a scaling procedure based on averaging Poisson distributed random variables to derive population level models from local models of interactions between individuals. The procedure is suggested by using the idea of hydrodynamic limits to derive reaction-diffusion models for population interactions from interacting particle systems.

Exploitation of Particle Migration Mechanism to Promote Economy and Ecology in Concrete Technology

open access: closedKey Engineering Materials, 2006
The computer simulation study of Portland cement blending confirmed the major mechanism to be size segregation in the Interfacial Transition Zones around the aggregate particles. Fine particles tend to move through the skeleton of larger particles towards the surface of the aggregate grains, improving local density.

Particle Size Spectra in Ecology

open access: closed, 1984
The use of size distributions as descriptors of ecosystems goes back at least to Elton (1927), although quantitative applications have appeared only during the past decade. Elton noted that there was a characteristic difference between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems; on land the organisms in the lower trophic levels tend to be larger than the ...

The importance of fine particle technology in the world's ecology

open access: closedPowder Technology, 1973
Abstract Fine particle technology has much to offer in controlling the world's ecology. Better and cheap instrumentation for sampling of particulates needs to be developed. The collection efficiencies of existing particle removal systems must be improved and novel methods to remove more than one pollutant in a system must be invented.

Adding ecology to particle capture models: Numerical simulations of capture on a moving cylinder in crossflow

open access: closedJournal of Theoretical Biology, 2014
The particle capture efficiency, η, of systems that remove suspended particles from ambient flow (e.g. suspension feeding, abiotic pollination) has been studied using static collectors in steady flows. Particle deposition on collectors moving due to fluid flow remains largely unknown, despite its ecological relevance.

Empirical study of particle swarm optimization inspired by Lotka–Volterra model in Ecology

open access: closedSoft Computing, 2018
Particle swarm optimization (PSO) has been proved to be an effective technique in solving complex global optimization problems. Many modified versions of the original PSO algorithm emerged during the last 15 years. Many of those existing methods employ all particles in a single population which adopts the similar monotonic strategy.

RETRACTED: Environmentally relevant concentrations of microplastic particles influence larval fish ecology

open access: closedScience, 2016
Microplastic's triple threat The billions of tons of plastics that we release into the environment for the most part do not biodegrade. But they do degrade, breaking into ever smaller particles that end up in the oceans. Lönnstedt et al.

Chemical characteristics analysis of automobile exhaust particles and the method for evaluating its ecological effect

Chemosphere, 2022
Automobile exhaust has become the main source of atmospheric particulate matter with the increase in the number of automobiles. Automobile exhaust particles (AEPs) discharged into the atmosphere can enter the aquatic environment through atmospheric deposition, rain runoff, leaching, drainage water and urban sewage and further affect aquatic organisms ...
