Marine biofouling can be defined as the undesirable accumulation of microorganisms, algae and animals on structures submerged in seawater. From the dawn of navigation, marine biofouling has been a major problem for shipping in such areas as reduced speed, higher fuel consumption and increased corrosion. It also affects industries using off-shore structures such as oil and gas production and aquaculture. Growing concerns about the environmental impact of antifouling coatings has led to major new research to develop more environmentally-friendly alternatives. Advances in marine antifouling coatings and technologies summaries this wealth of research and its practical implications.This book is d...

Revitalisasi sektor pertanian pada dasarnya adalah menempatkan kembali arti pentingnya sektor pertanian secara proporsional dan kontekstual, baik di perdesaan maupun perkotaan. Pembangunan Pertanian di Indonesia tetap dianggap terpenting dari keseluruhan pembangunan ekonomi, apalagi semenjak sektor pertanian menjadi penyelamat perekonomian nasional karena justru pertumbuhannya meningkat, sementara sektor lain pertumbuhannya negatif. Beberapa alasan yang mendasari pentingnya pertanian di Indonesia yaitu (1) potensi sumberdayanya yang besar dan beragam, (2) pangsa terhadap pendapatan nasional cukup besar, (3) besarnya penduduk yang menggantungkan hidupnya pada sektor ini dan (4) menjadi basis pertumbuhan di pedesaan.
