DOI: 10.1016/j.jmps.2021.104496
Abstract: Abstract The constitutive behaviour of a granular material with deformable particles interacting through Coulomb friction is analysed with numerical homogenization techniques. Using periodic boundary conditions and the finite element method, the influence of friction coefficient,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acs.est.2c00745
Abstract: Plastic particles impact the propagation of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in environmental media, and their perturbation on the horizontal gene transfer (HGT) of ARGs is recognized as a critical influencing mechanism. However, studies concerning the… read more here.
