Plastic waste is a significant environmental concern, constituting a major portion of the global waste stream. Improper disposal and accumulation have led to severe environmental challenges, including pollution, harm to ...

Contamination with anthropogenic debris, such as plastic and paint particles, has been widely investigated in the global marine environment. However, there is a lack of information regarding their presence in marine prot...

Abstract Water-based lubrication is an effective method to achieve superlubricity, which implies a friction coefficient in the order of 10−3 or lower. Recent numerical, analytical, and experimental studies confirm that...

Abstract We investigated the plasticity of vessel features in Ocotea indecora wood along a 300 m altitude gradient in dense montane rainforest. Our results showed that wood of trees at 1,000 m presented higher potential ...

This literature review aims to synthesize current evidence on plastic bronchitis (PB), a disease characterized by varying degrees of branching cast formation in the airways. The rationale for undertaking this review stem...

The Oriental Darter Anhinga melanogaster, ranges from Pakistan to Indonesia and the Philippines. Although it occurs in adjacent India, it has not been recorded in Bhutan. The first observation was of a live bird in a nov...

En el presente trabajo se expone la síntesis, caracterización y aplicación de la zeolita HZSM-11 en la pirólisis de residuos plásticos provenientes de la industria alimenticia. Dicha zeolita es obtenida mediante el ...

Pujada Bay is a marine biodiversity hotspot in the Philippines and has been declared one of the most beautiful bays in the world. It was nominated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site as an extension of the Mt. Hamiguitan Ran...

Zaprionus indianus is a species of fly native to the Afrotropical biogeographic region, which around twenty years ago invaded the American continent. Several studies have shown that local adaptation and phenotypic plasti...

Current shampoo bottles are oversized, using more plastic than necessary. In order to promote plastic minimization, the aim of this work is to determine how much it is possible to reduce the thickness of current shampoo ...

Waste materials from agricultural and food packaging usage pose significant health and environmental challenges, where the main source of waste originates from plastics and protein-based amino acids, and their thermal de...

While individual Jewish plastic surgeons have been recognized in the literature for their groundbreaking achievements, a comprehensive review of their collective contributions to plastic surgery is lacking. The goal of t...

The Turkish Straits System (TSS) is a dangerous and narrow waterway extending between the Black Sea and the Aegean Sea, including the Bosphorus, the Dardanelles, and the Marmara Sea and the Gulf of Izmit. The western ban...

Amblyopia is a common childhood visual disorder caused by abnormal visual experience that drives visual cortical plasticity during the sensitive period. The timing and forms of treatment with patching therapy and other t...

Objective Acinetobacter baumannii, a prevalent multidrug resistant (MDR) pathogen, poses a significant threat to critically ill patients. This work aims to analyze the genomes of eight clinical carbapenem-resistant A. ba...

We present a molecular dynamics study of the liquid and plastic crystalline phases of CCl 3Br. We investigated the short-range orientational order using a recently developed classification method and we found that both p...

Plastic pollution is one of the most acute environmental topics of our time. While there is a great scientific effort to tackle this problem, it has not always been well-coordinated or properly targeted. In this short re...

Abstract Traditional metallic materials usually face a dilemma between high strength and poor strain hardening capacity. However, heterogeneous structured metallic materials have been found to obviously overcome the trad...

Disposable absorbent hygiene products, particularly diapers, are a major contributor to global plastic waste. Focusing on high-priority strategies within the EU's waste hierarchy, waste prevention and reuse, we examine t...

Environmental pollution caused by non-biodegradable plastic waste has become a major global concern, prompting the development of eco-friendly alternative materials. Bioplastics derived from natural polymers are consider...

This study aims to characterize and analyze the physical and chemical performance of CH clay soil stabilized independently and separately by fly ash and metakaolin based geopolymers activated by sodium hydroxide. Differe...

Feeding conditions during the nestling period may significantly affect whole-life fitness in altricial birds but little is known about the physiological mechanisms responsible for these effects. Permanent changes (irreve...
