This review is a follow-up to previous published in Journal of Marine Science and Engineeringon the issues accumulation, transport, effects microplastics (MPs) oceans. The brings together experimental laboratory, mathematical, field data on dual role MPs as accumulators hydrophobic persistent organic compounds (POPs), their release-effect marine ecosystem. It also examines carrier role, besides...

Diversity and potential of herbaceous plants as mercury (Hg) hyperaccumulators in small-scale gold mining sites Pancurendang, Banyumas, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 24: 3378-3386. Plants resistant to can be used an alternative processing waste with the phytoremediation method. The study aimed inventory plant species artisanal (ASGM) Pancu...

A basic problem in silicon (Si) uptake studies in biology is the lack of an appropriate radioactive isotope. Radioactive germanium-68 ((68)Ge) has been used previously as a Si tracer in biological materials, but its suitability for the study of Si transport in higher plants is still untested. In this study, we investigated (68)Ge-traced Si uptake by four crop species differing widely in uptake ...

First this report presents a restricted set of finite transducers used to synthesise structural time-series constraints described by means of a multi-layered function composition scheme. Second it provides the corresponding synthesised catalogue of structural time-series constraints where each constraint is explicitly described in terms of automata with accumulators.

Phytoremediation uses green plants for in-situ removal, degradation, and containment of contaminants in soils, surface waters groundwaters. However, little research has been conducted on the phytoremediation potential plant species removing heavy metals contaminated soils within gold mining concession areas. Therefore, this study assessed classified potentials selected around areas restoring en...

Human activities have greatly altered global carbon (C) and Nitrogen (N) cycling. In fact, atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) have increased 40% over the last century and the amount of N cycling in the biosphere has more than doubled. In an effort to understand how plants will respond to continued global CO2 fertilization, long-term free-air CO2 enrichment experiments have been ...

Several Dinophysis species produce diarrhoetic toxins (okadaic acid and dinophysistoxins) and pectenotoxins, and cause gastointestinal illness, Diarrhetic Shellfish Poisoning (DSP), even at low cell densities (<103 cells·L⁻¹). They are the main threat, in terms of days of harvesting bans, to aquaculture in Northern Japan, Chile, and Europe. Toxicity and toxin profiles are very variable, more be...

Concentrating solar power plants with direct steam generation have the possibility to store generated energy in thermal form very easily. This is achieved by using two-phase accumulators which heat stored directly tanks filled water and a saturated state. The Llo plant, owned SUNCNIM France, has nine such connected parallel. During unloading of storage, withdrawn from operators observe oscillat...

This paper presents the results of material tests, experimental tests and statistical analysis thermal performance three types heat accumulators containing an organic phase-change two materials a higher conductivity: copper mesh porous coke recyclate. The aim research was to empirically statistically compare increase in PCM distribution through conductor conducted accordance with incomplete cen...
