By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News – New research on Machine Learning is th e subject of a report. According to news originating from Hangzhou, People’s Rep ublic of China, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, “Microplastics, as a pivotal concern within plastic pollution, have sparked widespread apprehension d ue to their ubiquitous presence. Recent research indicates that these minuscule plastic particles may exert discernible effects on the locomotor capabilities an d behavior of insect larvae.” Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from Hangzhou Dianzi Uni versity, “This study focuses on the impact of polystyrene microplastics (PS-MPs) on the behavior of Drosophila melanogaster larvae, utilizing fruit flies as a model organism. Kinematic analysis methods w ere employed to assess and extrapolate the toxic effects of PS-MPs on the larvae . Drosophila larvae were exposed to varying concentrations (Control, 0.1 g/L, 1 g/L, 10 g/L, 20 g/L) of 5 mm PS-MPs during their developmental stages. The study involved calculating and evaluating parameters such as the proportion of larvae reaching the edge, distance covered, velocity, and angular velocity within a 5- min timeframe. Across different concentrations, Drosophila larvae exhibit differ ential degrees of impaired motor function and disrupted locomotor orientation. T he proportion of larvae reaching the edge decreased, velocity significantly decl ined, and angular velocity exhibited a notable increase. These findings strongly suggest that when exposed to a PS-MPs environment, Drosophila larvae exhibit sl ower movement, increased angular rotation per unit time, leading to a reduction in the proportion of larvae reaching the edge.”
