Particles and fragments in unused disposable face masks: A microscopic analysis

open access: yesInternational Journal of Occupational Safety and Health, 2022
Introduction: In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, many governments mandated the wearing of face masks by law. New research shows that these masks contain and release microplastics. Methods: In the present work, five samples of surgical masks were

Complexity for charged thermofield double states

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2020
We study Nielsen’s circuit complexity for a charged thermofield double state (cTFD) of free complex scalar quantum field theory in the presence of background electric field.

Acoustophoretic trapping of particles by bubbles in microfluidics

open access: yesFrontiers in Physics, 2023
We present in this paper a simple method to produce strategic acoustic particle capture sites in microfluidic channels in a controlled way. Air bubbles are intermittently injected into a micro-capillary with rectangular cross section during a flow motion

Pinning down the gauge boson couplings in WWγ production using forward proton tagging

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2020
In this paper, we explore the potential of the LHC to measure the rate of pp → p WWγ p process, also to probe the new effective couplings contributing to the WWγ and WWγγ vertices.

Characterisation of Particle Size and Viability of SARS-CoV-2 Aerosols from a Range of Nebuliser Types Using a Novel Sampling Technique

open access: yesViruses, 2022
Little is understood about the impact of nebulisation on the viability of SARS-CoV-2. In this study, a range of nebulisers with differing methods of aerosol generation were evaluated to determine SARS-CoV-2 viability following aerosolization. The aerosol

The behaviour of free-flowing granular intruders

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
Particle shape affects both the quasi-static and dynamic behaviour of granular media. There has been significant research devoted to the flowability of systems of irregularly shaped particles, as well as the flow of grains around fixed intruders, however

How Is Indoor Air Quality during Sleep? A Review of Field Studies

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2021
This review aimed to provide an overview of the characterisation of indoor air quality (IAQ) during the sleeping period, based only on real life conditions’ studies where, at least, one air pollutant was considered.
