  2. 16. Calcium transport in the Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas - in a changing environment

    Author : Kirsikka Sillanpää; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Climate changes; Ussing chambers; Calcium uptake; Sodium potassium ATPase; Calcium ATPase; Sodium calcium exchanger; Calcium channel; Hemocytes; Mantle epithelium;

    Abstract : Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas, is globally one of the most important farmed bivalve species. A prominent features of the C. gigas is the thick CaCO3 shell covering the body of the animal and protecting it from the environment. READ MORE

  4. 17. Occurrence of Traffic-Derived Microplastics in Different Matrices in the Road Environment

    Author : Ida Järlskog; Yvonne Andersson-Sköld; Stephan Wagner; Statens väg- och transportforskningsinstitut; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; non-exhaust particles; tire wear particles; road dust; automated SEM EDX; environmental samples; optimized sample preparation; organic pollutants; street sweeping; traffic-derived microplastics; road simulator;

    Abstract : The prevalence of microplastic contamination has raised concerns about the potential risk and impact on the global environment. Traffic-derived microplastics, i.e., tire wear particles (TWP), polymer-modified bitumen, and road markings contribute to the emissions, and TWP are assumed to be one of the largest sources of microplastic emissions.

  5. 18. Low biocide emission antifouling based on a novel route of barnacle intoxication

    Author : Emiliano Pinori; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; antifouling; Barnacles; ivermectin; low biocide emission; marine fouling; marine paint; ISO 15181; ToF-SIMS;

    Abstract : Marine biofouling can be defined as the colonization of man-made surfaces in seawater by microscopic and macroscopic organisms. This phenomenon can result in great loss of function and effectiveness both for cruising ships and for static constructions. READ MORE

  6. 19. Microplastics in the aquatic environment: Insights into biological fate and effects in fish

    Author : Giedrė Ašmonaitė; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; microplastics; nanoplastics; plastic pollution; effects; fish; chemical mixtures; ecotoxicology;

    Abstract : According to the United Nations, plastic pollution in the natural environment has been identified as one of the biggest environmental challenges of this century and has become a cause for an emerging international concern. It has been predicted that up to 12 million tons of plastic waste reach the aquatic environment annually. READ MORE

  7. 20. Recovery of iron and manganese values from metallurgical slags by the oxidation route

    Author : Anna Semykina; Seshadri Seetharaman; Gabriella Tranell; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; oxidation; metallurgical slag; recycling; FeO; iron recovery; manganese recovery; manganese ferrite; nano-ferrites; oxidation process; TTT; crystallization; kinetics studies; thermodynamic studies; modelling; cold-model studies; electromagnetic buoyancy force; Metallurgical process engineering; Metallurgisk processteknik; Metallurgical process and manufacturing engineering; Metallurgisk process- och produktionsteknik; Materials science; Teknisk materialvetenskap;

    Abstract : In the modern practice, a sustainable development strategy in a domain of wasteutilization is shifting its focus from a general completeness of recycling to a morespecific attention to efficiently utilize elements in the wastes. This is well-illustrated bythe steelmaking slag industries. READ MORE
