Wanshun Deng et al.

Summary: The hypothesis suggests that transparent superhydrophilic coatings have great potential in various scenarios. The experiments demonstrate that decreasing coating thickness leads to reduced hydrophilicity in both air and oil, while dual superhydrophilicity can be achieved on thick coatings. Ultimately, the transparent coatings with dual superhydrophilicity exhibit excellent anti-oil fouling properties and durable anti-fogging abilities.

Hematological and histological changes from ingestion of Deepwater Horizon crude oil in zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata)

Jesse A. Fallon et al.

Summary: Exposure to crude oil can cause various pathological effects in birds, but not all species develop Heinz bodies or anemia. In a study on zebra finches, high doses of oil led to increased reticulocyte percentage and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, as well as inflammation and lymphocyte proliferation, but no Heinz bodies were found. Further research is needed to understand factors contributing to anemia resulting from oil exposure in birds.
