DIRECT AND INDIRECT EFFECTS OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF MICROPLASTICS ON FRESHWATER PREY (CORBICULA FLUMINEA) AND THEIR PREDATOR (ACIPENSER TRANSMONTANUS).

Direct and indirect effects of different types of microplastics on freshwater prey (Corbicula fluminea) and their predator (Acipenser transmontanus).

We examined whether environmentally relevant concentrations of different types of microplastics, with or without PCBs, directly affect freshwater prey and indirectly affect their predators.Asian clams (Corbicula fluminea) were exposed to environmentally relevant concentrations of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene, polyvinylchloride (PV

Analysis of a Novel Two-Lane Lattice Hydrodynamic Model Considering the Empirical Lane Changing Rate and the Self-Stabilization Effect

Considering the impact of the empirical lane changing rate and self-stabilization effect on traffic flow stability synthetically, an extended two-lane lattice hydrodynamic model was proposed in this paper.In the first place, the stability condition is acquired through applying Toys liner stability analysis method and it reveals that both the empiri
