Recently, commercial hemp seeds, Cannabis sativa L., have attracted considerable interest in nutritional and industrial research due to their high value good digestibility. Hemp seeds are becoming a new source of vegetable protein the necessary components for maintaining health rich content compounds, vitamins, unsaturated fatty acids. The effect processing on complex low THC was studied curren...

Extensive intertidal asphalt pavements and oiled sediment accumulations extend more than 20 km along the northern shoreline of Abu Ali Island, located north Jubail on Arabian (Persian) Gulf coast Saudi Arabia. This oiling likely originated from two platforms in Nowruz oil field, which spilled 1983 to 1985; this was one largest marine spills history, with impacts that were little known. In study...

We consider the variables relevant to adsorption of renewable nanoparticles and stabilization multiphase systems, including particle’s hydrophilicity, electrostatic charge, axial aspect, entanglement. Exploiting complexation two oppositely charged nanopolysaccharides, cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) nanochitin (NCh), we prepared CNF/NCh aqueous suspensions identified conditions for charge balance ...

Infaunal organisms are susceptible to disturbances such as hypoxia and sediment contamination; changes in infaunal community structure therefore often used indicators of anthropogenic disturbance. Susceptibility disturbance varies across taxa, either due physiological factors or behaviors functional roles that increase exposure. Both sources variability likely be heritable shared among related ...

More than 2 y have passed since the BP-Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, yet we still have little understanding of its ecological impacts. Examining effects of this oil spill will generate much-needed insight into how shoreline habitats and the valuable ecological services they provide (e.g., shoreline protection) are affected by and recover from large-scale disturbance. Here w...

Trajectory and fate modeling of the oil released during Deepwater Horizon blowout was performed for April to September 2010 using a variety input data sets, including combinations seven hydrodynamic four wind models, determine inputs leading best agreement with observations evaluate their reliability quantifying exposure marine resources floating subsurface oil. Remote sensing (satellite imager...

The expansion of human activities in offshore maritime regions has outpaced the development scientific knowledge and cooperative governance across these areas beyond national jurisdiction (ABNJ). In this context, current negotiations by United Nations aim for an international legally-binding instrument to improve sustainable use biodiversity ABNJ. Penguins are among most threatened seabird grou...
