Hyperspectral data of thin oil slicks have some spectral response characteristics, and an experiment of offshore thin oil slicks was designed to measure and analyze their reflectance by using ASD hyperspectral instrument. With the oil slick thickness changing, its color varied from rainbow sheen slick to fuchsine sheen slick, kelly sheen slick, aqua sheen slick, silver sheen slick and light sheen slick. The result suggested that different thin oil slicks have different characteristics, some thin oil slicks could change the reflectance at 440 nm which is the spectral absorption peak value of chlorophyll, and the best hyperspectral band to distinguish the different offshore thin oil slicks is located in the range between 350 and 440 nm. The reflectance of thin oil slicks is higher than that of seawater in the hyperspectral data range from 440 to 900 nm, but has no absorption or reflection characteristics compared to seawater's. It could not be detected in the range of near infrared from 900 to 2,500 nm of offshore thin oil slicks because of high noise, low signal and influence of the atmosphere. Finally, the spectral response theory of offshore thin oil slicks was analyzed, and the results indicated that the interference phenomenon of offshore thin oil slicks could add reflected light and change the reflectance of seawater, hence, increase the feasibility of offshore oil slick remote sensing.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic or recurrent inflammatory disorder affecting various parts of the gastrointestinal tract. Metformin, a widely prescribed hypoglycemic drug for type 2 diabetes, has shown potential in reducing IBD risk. However, its oral administration faces significant challenges due to the harsh gastrointestinal environment, requiring higher or more frequent doses to achieve therapeutic effects, which increases the risk of side effects.

For the practical application of oleogels and to produce oleogels with consistent properties, a full understanding of the factors affecting properties of oleogels is necessary. This study aimed to understand the effects of type of oil and minor components in oils on the properties of 3% and 7% rice bran wax (RBW) oleogels, which were prepared with 12 vegetable oils with different degrees of unsaturation as well as the same oils where polar compounds were removed (stripped oils). Correlation coefficients of iodine values (IVs) of oils with the firmness of 3% and 7% RBW stripped oil oleogels were -0.

Article Synopsis
- Crude oil spills lead to the introduction of trace metals (Co, Ni, Cu, Cd, Pb, Zn) into marine environments, which complicates the measurement of their concentrations and speciation due to seawater's complex makeup.
- A new method was developed using modified diffusive gradients in thin-films (DGT) to evaluate metal lability and speciation in crude oil-contaminated seawater, revealing that crude oil affects metal mobility, with different DGT devices yielding varying results based on metal types.
- The study concluded that crude oil alters metal speciation through interactions with organic ligands, impacting the bioavailability of these metals in marine settings, while revealing discrepancies in metal concentration measurements between DGT and microdialysis methods.
The EFSA Panel on Food Contact Materials assessed the safety of 2,2'-oxydiethylamine, which is intended to be used at up to 14% w/w as a monomer along with adipic acid and caprolactam to make polyamide thin films intended for single use, in contact with all types of food under all conditions of time and temperature. Specific migration of 2,2'-oxydiethylamine was tested from a polyamide film in water and was below the limit of quantification (LOQ) of 0.015 mg/kg.

In the present study, lanthanum oxytellurate (LOT) samples with varying La : Te ratios are successfully synthesized using a simple hydrothermal method that has enormous advantages. The prepared samples crystallize in a LaOTe composite phase with an orthorhombic crystal system. A nanorod-like morphology is observed for each sample, and the presence of constituent elements is verified from EDX results.
