Estimation on Audibility of Large Cetaceans for Improvement of the Under Water Speaker [PDF]

TransNav, 2012
In order to avoid collisions between the hydrofoil (HF) and cetaceans, the Under Water Speaker (UWS) has been installed on the HF. Because of its potential in utility, we tried to improve the UWS to minimize the risk of the collisions. Under our project,

Somatosensory Disturbance and Long‐Term Exposure to Methylmercury: A Comprehensive Review

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chronic exposure to methylmercury remains a significant public health concern, particularly in populations with high fish consumption. Somatosensory disturbances are among the most frequently reported neurological manifestations, even at exposure levels below internationally established safety thresholds. This review aims to synthesize current

Nanoplastics: Methods, Exposure and Effects on Domestic, Farm and Wild Animals

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nanoplastics (NPs) are synthetic polymer particles ranging in size from 1 nm to 1 μm that have been identified as a major concern for ecosystems and organisms due to their plethora of negative effects. The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the knowledge relating to exposure and effects of NPs in domestic (i.e., farm ...
