However, there is still limited information on the properties and dynamic behavior of plastic-associated biofilms in the environment. In this study, we collected plastic samples from an inland river system in Mongolia and extracted biofilms from the plastics to uncover the characteristics of the biofilms using analytical, isotopic, and thermogravimetric techniques. Mixtures of organic and mineral particles were detected from extracted biofilms, revealing the plastic as a carrier for exogenous substances including contaminants in the river ecosystem. The present study provides insights into the characteristics and environmental behavior of biofilms which are useful to elucidate the impact of plastic-associated biofilms on organic matter and material cycling in the aquatic ecosystems.

Times Cited Count:64 Percentile:92.69(Materials Science, Ceramics)The fundamental properties of CeO
were assessed using a range of experimental techniques. The oxygen potential of CeO
was measured by the thermogravimetric technique, and a numerical fit for the oxygen potential of CeO
is derived based on defect chemistry. Mechanical properties of CeO
were obtained using sound velocity measurement, resonant ultrasound spectroscopy and nanoindentation. The obtained mechanical properties of CeO
are then used to evaluate the Debye temperature and Gruneisen constant. The heat capacity and thermal conductivity of CeO
were also calculated using the Debye temperature and the Gruneisen constant. Finally, the thermal conductivity was calculated based upon laser flash analysis measurements. This result demonstrates that the thermal conductivity has strong dependence upon material purity.

Times Cited Count:22 Percentile:79.31(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)Thermal properties of the redeposition layer on the inner plate of the W-shaped divertor of JT-60U have been measured with laser flash method for the first time so as to estimate transient heat loads onto the divertor. Measurement of a redeposition layer sample of more than 200 m thick showed following results: (1) the bulk density of the redeposition layer is about half of that of carbon fiber composite material; (2) the specific heat of the layer is roughly equal to that of the isotropic graphite; (3) the thermal conductivity of the redeposition layer is two orders of magnitude smaller than that of the carbon fiber composite. The difference between the divertor heat loads and the loss of the plasma stored energy becomes smaller taking account of thermal properties of the redeposition layer on the inner divertor, whereas estimated heat loads due to the ELMs is still larger than the loss. This is probably caused by the poloidal distribution of the thermal properties and heat flux asymmetry inherent in the device.

Times Cited Count:27 Percentile:73.27(Physics, Multidisciplinary)We provide a detailed quantitative analysis of transport properties in the
-wave superconducting state of Sr
RuO
. Specifically, we calculate ultrasound attenuation rate and electronic thermal conductivity within the mean field approximation. The momentum dependence of the gap function is determined by solving the Eliashberg equation for a three-band Hubbard model with the realistic electronic structure of Sr
RuO
. Consequently, we obtain the temperature dependence of the transport coefficients in agreement with the experimental results.
