While the presence of microplastics (MPs) in marine environments has been detected
worldwide, the importance of MPs pollution in freshwater environments has also been …

There are hundreds of thousands metric tons of microplastics (MPs) present in aquatic
environments. The MPs coexist with other pollutants in water bodies, such as pharmaceuticals, …

Nanoplastics (NPs) and microplastics (MPs) are a heterogeneous class of pollutants with
diverse sizes in aquatic environments. To evaluate the hazardous effects of N/MPs with …

The present study used red tilapia (Oreochromis niloticusas) as the model fish to compare
the interactive effects between aged and virgin microplastics (MPs) with the antibiotic …

Red tilapia is becoming more popular for aquaculture production in China in recent years.

The Precambrian Aksu blueschist terrane (ABT) located in the northwestern Tarim Craton
was formerly regarded as a Mesoproterozoic or an early Neoproterozoic complex. Yet, its …

The availability of precipitation data with high spatial resolution is of fundamental importance
in several applications such as hydrology, meteorology and ecology. At present, there are …

Accurate estimation of spatially distributed air temperature (Ta) is useful for a wide range of
disciplines such as hydrology, meteorology and ecology. Moderate Resolution Imaging …

The container relocation problem, where containers that are stored in bays are retrieved in
