Eggshell thinning or loss caused by DDT and other chlorinated fluorocarbons has been a major cause of declines in Brown Pelicans, terns, eagles, and other fish-eating birds.  3, record 2, English, - eggshell%20thinning

High levels of toxic contaminants in the diet led to severe eggshell thinning during the 1960s and ’70s and a dramatic decline in the cormorant population …. Thin-shelled eggs could not withstand the weight of the incubating bird and would break before reaching term, killing the embryo.  4, record 2, English, - eggshell%20thinning

Les concentrations élevées de contaminants toxiques dans l'alimentation des cormorans ont provoqué l'amincissement de la coquille des œufs pendant les années 60 et 70 […] Ce phénomène a eu un effet dévastateur sur la population de cormorans; les œufs aux coquilles trop fragiles ne pouvaient supporter le poids des adultes qui les couvaient et se brisaient avant d'éclore, ce qui tuait l'embryon.  2, record 2, French, - amincissement%20de%20la%20coquille

A few Italian laboratories use the "nail test"(prova del chiode). In this simple test, a piece of wet gluten is impaled on a nail and the rate at which the test piece stretches under its own weight is measured.

A random selection of three diamonds of equal size carat weight, colour and clarity may vary in price by up to 50%. The reason for this is: the first could be a perfectly proportioned Ideal Cut diamond that would sell at a premium of about 20%; the second could be a nice average diamond of "good proportion and finish;" the third could be a poorly proportioned diamond that was cut to retain enough weight to cross a weight/price threshold.  6, record 6, English, - break%20point

Although biologists have long known that ruminal bacteria break down cellulose, Craig and his colleagues were the first to prove that the bacteria also protect sheep against poison. They fed tansy ragwort to one group of sheep and administered pyrrolizidine alkaloid(the toxin in tansy ragwort) to another group through a catheter to bypass the rumen. Sheep in the first group ate as much as twice their body weight in tansy ragwort without discomfort; sheep in the second group suffered from anorexia and toxic effects to the liver.  2, record 7, English, - pyrrolizidine%20alkaloid

In general, a needle should be fine enough to penetrate fabric without marring it, yet have a large enough eye that the thread does not fray or break.
