Construction of solitary solution and compacton-like solution by variational iteration method

Abstract: Variational iteration method is used to construct solitary solutions and compacton-like solutions for nonlinear dispersive equations. The chosen initial solution (trial function) can be in compacton form or in soliton form with some unknown parameters which can be determined in the solution procedure. The compacton-like solution can be converted to solitary solution by suitable choice of a parameter, and vice versa.

Microplastic Pollution in Table Salts from China

Abstract: Microplastics have been found in seas all over the world. We hypothesize that sea salts might contain microplastics, because they are directly supplied by seawater. To test our hypothesis, we collected 15 brands of sea salts, lake salts, and rock/well salts from supermarkets throughout China. The microplastics content was 550–681 particles/kg in sea salts, 43–364 particles/kg in lake salts, and 7–204 particles/kg in rock/well salts. In sea salts, fragments and fibers were the prevalent types of particles compared with pellets and sheets. Microplastics measuring less than 200 μm represented the majority of the particles, accounting for 55% of the total microplastics, and the most common microplastics were polyethylene terephthalate, followed by polyethylene and cellophane in sea salts. The abundance of microplastics in sea salts was significantly higher than that in lake salts and rock/well salts. This result indicates that sea products, such as sea salts, are contaminated by microplastics. To the best of ...
