The present paper falls within the trend of research into interactions between various pollutants emitted anthropogenically into the environment and focuses on mercury and styrofoam debris. The study covers part of the Southern Baltic's drainage area. Apart from styrofoam and beach sand, the research involved mosses, which are bioindicators of atmospheric metal pollution. The research has shown...

One option that has the potential to be applied road roughness is reuse of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) material. RAP material can reused by adding new asphalt and aggregate in accordance with composition mixture so it expected obtain quality as planned. efforts made improve use modified additional form styrofoam. The styrofoam technical properties a mixture. This research was conducted var...

Bio-inspired compound feet with spines and foot pads were made to improve the take off performance of the Flea, a jumping robot that can jump 30 times its body length. A no-slip model of the flea was used to compare the performance of the flea with and without spines and foot pads on styrofoam, sandpaper 60Cw, and Teflon. On styrofoam, the flea with spines increased its kinetic energy by 65%, b...

Indirect transmission of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) ensues when susceptible animals contact PEDV-contaminated fomite materials. Although the survival of PEDV under various pHs and temperatures has been studied, virus stability on different fomite surfaces under varying temperature conditions has not been explored. Hence, we evaluated the survival of PEDV on inanimate objects routine...

Styrofoam inilah kemasan makanan yang biasa dipakai oleh pedagang makanan, padahal styrofoam mengandung styrene dapat menyebabkan kanker. Semakin panas disimpan dalam styrofoam, semakin cepat zat beracun dari masuk ke makanan. juga berdampak negatif terhadap lingkungan karena sulit didaur ulang.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor berhubungan dengan penggunaan sebagai P...

The current handling of waste, especially styrofoam, plastic, used oil is not optimal, these wastes can be to manufacture other products such as bricks with a simple process. If the waste processed properly, it will get good economic value. To value or product, necessary do research testing, in this study, namely use styrofoam plastic and bricks. In hoped that public understand quality types co...

Monitoring beach litter is essential for reducing ecological threats towards humans and wildlife. In Monterey Bay, CA information on seasonal and spatial patterns is understudied. Central California's coastal managers require reliable information on debris abundance, distribution, and type, to support policy aimed at reducing litter. We developed a survey method that allowed for trained citizen...
