In 1761, the Royal Navy plated the hull of its frigate HMS Alarm in thin copper, which kept away weeds and tube worms so successfully that the practice – and the praise of something risk-free as copper-bottomed – became widespread. At least it did until the launch of iron ships a century later, which unfortunately could not be copper-plated because that encouraged corrosion. Charles Darwin took up this challenge in 1846, and developed his initial interest into a major study published as a series of monographs in 1851 and 1854. [33] Darwin undertook this study, at the suggestion of his friend Joseph Dalton Hooker, to thoroughly understand at least one species before making the generalisations needed for his theory of evolution by natural selection. [34] [35] Upon the conclusion of his research, Darwin declared "I hate a barnacle as no man ever did before." [36] [35]

ISSN 0035-9149. S2CID 202574857. The flesh of some barnacles is routinely consumed by humans, including Japanese goose barnacles ( e.g. Capitulum mitella), and goose barnacles ( e.g. Pollicipes pollicipes), a delicacy in Spain and Portugal. [50]In the 1960s and 1970s, such paints relied on a toxic chemical called tributyl, which is now banned because of its wider negative impact on marine life. Newer paints often rely on copper, which is also drawing criticism for possible environmental damage. Sweden has already introduced restrictions on the use of copper-based paints in some waters. Machine translation, like DeepL or Google Translate, is a useful starting point for translations, but translators must revise errors as necessary and confirm that the translation is accurate, rather than simply copy-pasting machine-translated text into the English Wikipedia.

Typical acorn barnacles develop six hard calcareous plates to surround and protect their bodies. For the rest of their lives, they are cemented to the substrate, using their feathery legs (cirri) to capture plankton.

PMID 19374762.Most barnacles are suspension feeders; they dwell continually in their shells, which are usually constructed of six plates, [3] and reach into the water column with modified legs. These feathery appendages beat rhythmically to draw plankton and detritus into the shell for consumption. [25] Kado, Ryusuke. "Let's learn about the body structure of a barnacle" (PDF).

I imagine that the translators enjoyed translating Hergé’s comic books and putting their own English spin on them, just as much as thousands of children and adults alike have enjoyed them ever since.You can find the English translations of Tintin in the Junior Fiction (JF) section of the library on floor two at JF HER and the original French language versions at 741.5 HER. If you would like to find out more about translation or corpus linguistics, there are several books available in the CCCU Library or you can read the Library guide to Corpus software at https://www.canterbury.ac.uk/library/docs/Corpus-Software.pdf a b Donald Thomas Anderson (1994).

Ironically, the new edition of the book was published in the same year – 1966 – that the modern Loch Lomond distillery became operational in Alexandria, West Dunbartonshire. As far as Hergé was concerned, however, ‘Loch Lomond’ remained wholly made-up.Farr, who first met Hergé when he was a young Reuters reporter in the 1970s, is also busy translating Tintin for the digital age in a new app. “You can zoom in on individual frames,” he says. “It’s wonderful. Tintin is alive!” Additionally, the picoroco barnacle is used in Chilean cuisine and is one of the ingredients in curanto seafood stew.
