The resulting oligomers exhibited strong wet adhesion when applied to different substrates including glass, stainless steel, and aluminum. Compared to most commercial adhesives, this bioinspired adhesive is produced via a sustainable and green process, i.

Fresh fish and shrimp samples from Northern Gulf waters were grilled and boiled to simulate the effect of different cooking methods. Sixteen different species of fish were compared and significant differences in Po concentration in uncooked samples were observed between species (ANOVA I, F = 362.

This study presents baseline information on the concentration of Po among calanoid copepods isolated from the Kuwait marine area. The concentration of Po in six species of copepod, including Subeucalanus flemingeri, Parvocalanus crassirostis, Acartia pacifica, Calanopia elliptica, Acrocalanus gibber, and Euterpina acutifrons were 151.
