However, a low level of protein production must always be necessary to repair eventual detachment due to hydrodynamism, and to provide for displacement to occur. Indeed, barnacles in development can periodically secrete primary cement to achieve firm attachment [30], but once adhered, in many ...
We expect structures to have the longest possible service life during which time no repair work should be required despite considerable environmental aggression being frequently present. In the literature, there is a constant search for diagnostic characteristics which could predict the resistance of ...
