Computationalhomogenizationmethodisa direct multi-scalemicro-macro constitutive modelling based on the conception of representative volume element (RVE) in the framework of average-field theory.
Dr Palsson and his colleagues at Genomatica are now applying the same modelling methods to other micro-organisms, including human pathogens and micro-organisms used in industrial processes.
Recent modelling studies show that the flux to remote areas of contaminants associated with micro-plastics is small compared with that from oceanic and especially long-distance atmospheric transport processes.
