Figure S1. Dendrogram illustrating the bacterial community composition relationships among prevalence groups. An average-group linkage dendrogram is illustrated for the core ($75% of samples), resident (25-75% of samples), and transient (,25% of samples) OTU communities for exposed sand (left) and water (right) samples. See methods for category breakdown details. The mean OTU composition is rep...

Paper or cardboard with porous surfaces have been transformed into oil- and water-resistant by coating them nano-PET to fill the pores increase their ability absorb oil while keeping fibers from swelling. Experimental results show that using PET nanoparticle solution as for cartoon a strong effect on its mechanical properties especially confining properties. Cartoon coated high resistance again...

Quantitative surveys of the intertidal macro-fauna were conducted during September-October 1998 along transects established at various locations along the Nigeria coastline, following the rupture of a 24-inch pipeline at Idoho, off the Gulf of Guinea, southeastern Nigeria on 12 January 1998. Samples were taken within impacted areas and at control unpolluted sites approximately 5 km to the east ...

Marine oil spills are serious ecological disasters that have massive adverse impacts on the environment. The even worse once spilled is stranded a shoreline. A series of shoreline cleanup methods deployed to remove oil, but their performance can be affected by oil. This review therefore comprehensively investigates characteristics and explores effects effectiveness response operations. First, f...
