Several studies have investigated the effects of nano- and microplastics on daphnids as key freshwater species. However, while information is abundant on the acute toxicity of plastic beads, little is known regarding the multigenerational effects of ...
The development of methods to automatically determine the chemical nature of microplastics by FTIR-ATR spectra is an important challenge. A machine learning method, named k-nearest neighbors classification, has been applied on spectra of microplastic...

Estimating the volume of macro-plastics which dot the world's oceans is one of the most pressing environmental concerns of our time. Prevailing methods for determining the amount of floating plastic debris, usually conducted manually, are time demand...
Quantitative assessment of marine litter (ML) along the Bulgarian Black Sea coastline was presented. ML surveys were conducted every season in a total of 8 beach monitoring sites during 2015-2016. Eight main categories of material were determined, ba...
Planktonic sea-urchin larvae actively ingest polyethylene microplastics (MP) that accumulate in the larval stomach and can be distinguished from natural food using polarized light microscopy. MP filtering rates were similar to those of natural partic...
Scientists are on the lookout for a practical model that can serve as a standard for sorting out, identifying, and characterizing microplastics which are common occurrences in water sources and wastewaters. The microbeads (MBs) used in cosmetics and ...

INTRODUCTION: Digital orthodontics is here to make our specialty more efficient, and the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) is no exception. This study aimed to compare the accuracy of a workflow involving virtual bracket removal (VBR) by AI...
Thin-walled structures (TWS) were widely used in engineering equipment, and may be subjected to impact loads to produce different degrees of structural damage during application. However, it is a difficult problem to determine the impact load conditi...
