MODELING OF VERTICAL MICROPLASTIC TRANSPORT BY RISING BUBBLES

Modeling of vertical microplastic transport by rising bubbles

Abstract Microplastic particle concentration at the sea surface is critical for quantifying microplastic transport across the water-air interface.Previous studies suggest that the concentration at the sea surface is enhanced compared to bulk concentration, yet little is known about the detailed mechanisms behind this enhancement.In this work, we mo

Serpens: A Highly Compliant Low-Cost ROS-Based Snake Robot with Series Elastic Actuators, Stereoscopic Vision and a Screw-Less Assembly Mechanism

Snake robot locomotion in a cluttered environment where the snake robot utilises a sensory-perceptual system to perceive the surrounding operational environment for means of propulsion is defined as perception-driven obstacle-aided locomotion (POAL).From a control point of view, achieving POAL with traditional rigidly-actuated robots is challenging

WD40 domain divergence is important for functional differences between the fission yeast Tup11 and Tup12 co-repressor proteins.

We have previously demonstrated that subsets of Ssn6/Tup target genes have distinct requirements for the Schizosaccharomyces pombe homologs of the Tup1/Groucho/TLE co-repressor proteins, Tup11 and Tup12.The very high level of divergence in the histone interacting repression domains of the two proteins suggested that determinants distinguishing Tup1
