Environmental hull

David Hull The story that you tell from your own experience with socio-biology and later evolutionary psychology is commonplace in science. Science does not always supply a warm, supportive environmental for scientists. I wrote a very long book dealing with how the rise of cladistic analysis would kill it. 

ANTIFOULING AGENTS. Various chemical substances added to paints and coatings to combat mildew and crustaceous formations, such as barnacles on the hull of a ship. In the past, large quantities of mercury compounds have been used in this manner. With growing environmental concern over possible mercury pollution, manufacturers have been turning to other, sometimes less efficacious compounds, Research continues to find compounds of a less toxic, but equally effective power of the mercury compounds. Bis(tributyltin) fluoride has been used on ship bottoms. See also Mercury. 

During the period under consideration the environmental situation at NS basing centers considerably aggravated due to gathering of non-defueled retired NSs with steadily worsening condition of hulls that created a risk of their non-controlled sinking. 

Because neither physical nor chemical properties of the immobilizing material in question change over time, monolithization of inner volumes of NS compartments would provide for reliable long-term insulation of immobilized structures from the environmental effects. Monolithized inter-board area would become a reliable protective barrier against radionuclide release to the environment from the inner compartment space and contaminated outer surface of the strong hull.

Safflower is a minor oilseed crop limited in production by environmental constraints and by the plant s spiny nature. Unless the seed is well dehulled, the oilcake resulting from oil extraction will have a high fiber content. Undecorticated oil cake has a protein content of 20-22% and an end use as manure. In contrast, removal of the hull improves the protein content to 40%, making it acceptable as cattle feed despite low lysine levels. Leftover hulls and husks are added to cattle feed or are used to manufacture cellulose, insulation, and abrasives (5, 49).
