-abstract = {The advancement of self-healing concrete represents a transformative step toward sustainable infrastructure, yet the integration of microbial agents with engineered admixtures under marine conditions remains underexplored. This study investigated the synergistic effects of Bacillus sphaericus and polymeric air-entraining agents (AEAs) on the self-healing performance and durability of high-strength concrete (HSC) exposed to saline environments. Two strains of B. sphaericus (UPMB-10 and ATCC 14577) were evaluated for viability, sporulation, and mineralization potential under varying salinity levels, with ATCC 14577 selected for its superior resistance and CaCO3 yield. Freeze-dried spores enriched with calcium lactate and urea were incorporated into HSC mixes containing different AEA dosages (2–6%), enabling microbial survival within air-void niches. Concrete specimens were subjected to cyclic curing in both tap water and artificial seawater to simulate fluctuating marine exposure. Healing efficiencies reached up to 71 % in tap water, while seawater immersion produced complete crack closure by 28 days and up to 96 % recovery in water tightness by 56 days. X-ray diffraction revealed mineralogical adaptation in seawater, with polymorphic phases such as aragonite and diopside forming alongside calcite, driven by the presence of Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions. These diverse precipitates contributed to enhanced crack sealing compared to the predominantly calcitic deposits in tap water. The findings demonstrate that moderate polymeric AEA dosages preserve structural-grade strength (>100 MPa) while supporting microbial viability and self-healing activity. By linking bacterial metabolism with saline-induced mineral diversity, this study introduces an integrative microbial-admixture framework for designing next-generation self-healing HSC tailored for marine infrastructures. The synergy between optimized bacterial strains and controlled air-void incorporation (by suitable polymeric AEAs) offers a durable, autonomous repair mechanism capable of withstanding aggressive coastal environments.} }

-abstract = {This study investigates the mechanical performance of basalt fiber-reinforced polymer (BFRP) laminates as a suitable alternative to conventional glass fiber-reinforced composites for marine applications. The laminates were produced by varying the main process parameters: the fiber type was either glass or basalt; the resin material was either polyester or vinylester; the fiber orientation in selected layers was set to either 0°/90°, or to ±45° by rotating the woven fabrics during lay-up, and finally the manufacturing technique was either hand lay-up or vacuum infusion. Three-point flexural tests with different spans were conducted to evaluate the flexural behavior and fracture mechanisms. The best-performing configuration, based on glass fibers and vacuum infusion, achieved a maximum flexural strength of about 500 MPa, while basalt-based laminates reached values of up to 400 MPa. Basalt laminates exhibited the highest flexural modulus, with values exceeding 24 GPa. An increase in span length from 120 mm to 220 mm resulted in a reduction in flexural strength of approximately 6–18% depending on the laminate configuration, highlighting the influence of loading conditions on mechanical behavior. The effect of the manufacturing processes was also evaluated using an analysis of variance. This showed that fiber type, manufacturing method, and span significantly influenced the mechanical performance.} }

In order to prevent this into worsening state, effort must be done to keep our coral environment healthy. Coral planting is one of this effort. The artificial coral also can be functioned as breakwater in shallow water and also reduce beach erosion. One of the many technics in coral transplantation is biorock technology. Regular monitoring of the transplanted coral must be done regularly for years to ensure the development is according our plan. Biorock technology is a development of electro mineral in the sea, as well as called mineral accretion technology. Biorock works by electrolyze sea water. Occurred by located two electrodes in the sea and inject low voltage electric current. Coral reef transplantation program must consider ecological aspect as the program run. The purpose of this research is to develop biorock technology and improving biorock efficiency. Identification of the ecosystem in Batu Lawang to determine correct procedure and technics for biorock application.. With healthy coral and sea environment, local community will have indirect benefit by increasing of maritime tourism.} }

-abstract = {The rapid rise in the generation of waste and the increased quantities of waste glass have created several environmental hazards. For effective remediation of the waste generated on a large scale, the prospects of using waste glasses within concrete have been explored. In marine environments, there is a high probability that concrete structures would degenerate. In concrete structures subjected to marine environments, the attack by sulfate and chloride ions causes degradation. To find effective alternatives for concrete components within marine environments, the feasibility of using recycled glasses has been explored. The feasibility and suitability of using waste glasses that have been recycled have been explored to replace the aggregate materials. Four different concrete mixes containing varying percentages of waste glasses that have been crushed have been investigated. The concrete specimens have been subjected to a marine environment for a period of 28 days. In the concrete specimens subjected to marine environments, the tidal wet-dry cycles lead to structural degradation by inducing internal microcracks due to salt crystallization. The main concerns of this study is the assessment for the chemical resistance based on the changes of mass and water absorption and to evaluate the compressive strength. From the experimental findings, it was evident that the increase in the amount of recycled glass resulted in the reduction of the compressive strength of the resulting concrete. On the other hand, the water absorption was found to be reduced with a steady rise in the rate of chemical resistance along with the increase of the recycled glass replacement. From the findings, it was evident that when the proportion of recycled glass was between 20 and 50 wt.%, there were substantial changes with regards to the performance of the resulting concrete. However, with the addition of recycled glass to the mixture, the strength was reduced; nonetheless, the durability was heightened, indicating that there was a balance of durability and strength at 30 wt%. This study illustrates the benefits to the environment with the utilization of recycled glass as partial replacement of fine aggregates in the concrete exposed in the marine environment.} }

The aim of this review is to illustrate the results of research on this topical subject. In the introduction, mechanical, thermal and chemical properties of basalt fibre have been reviewed. Moreover, its main manufacturing technologies have been described. Then, the effect of using this mineral fibre as reinforcement of different matrices as polymer (both thermoplastic and thermoset), metal and concrete has been presented.

-abstract = {Evidence is mounting that extinctions are altering key processes important to the productivity and sustainability of Earth’s ecosystems. Further species loss will accelerate change in ecosystem processes, but it is unclear how these effects compare to the direct effects of other forms of environmental change that are both driving diversity loss and altering ecosystem function. Here we use a suite of meta-analyses of published data to show that the effects of species loss on productivity and decomposition—two processes important in all ecosystems—are of comparable magnitude to the effects of many other global environmental changes. In experiments, intermediate levels of species loss (21–40%) reduced plant production by 5–10%, comparable to previously documented effects of ultraviolet radiation and climate warming. Higher levels of extinction (41–60%) had effects rivalling those of ozone, acidification, elevated CO2 and nutrient pollution. At intermediate levels, species loss generally had equal or greater effects on decomposition than did elevated CO2 and nitrogen addition. The identity of species lost also had a large effect on changes in productivity and decomposition, generating a wide range of plausible outcomes for extinction. Despite the need for more studies on interactive effects of diversity loss and environmental changes, our analyses clearly show that the ecosystem consequences of local species loss are as quantitatively significant as the direct effects of several global change stressors that have mobilized major international concern and remediation efforts.} }

In this paper, we provide an updated estimate based on updated unit ecosystem service values and land use change estimates between 1997 and 2011. We also address some of the critiques of the 1997 paper. Using the same methods as in the 1997 paper but with updated data, the estimate for the total global ecosystem services in 2011 is $125 trillion/yr (assuming updated unit values and changes to biome areas) and $145 trillion/yr (assuming only unit values changed), both in 2007 $US. From this we estimated the loss of eco-services from 1997 to 2011 due to land use change at $4.3–20.2 trillion/yr, depending on which unit values are used. Global estimates expressed in monetary accounting units, such as this, are useful to highlight the magnitude of eco-services, but have no specific decision-making context. However, the underlying data and models can be applied at multiple scales to assess changes resulting from various scenarios and policies. We emphasize that valuation of ecoservices (in whatever units) is not the same as commodification or privatization. Many eco-services are best considered public goods or common pool resources, so conventional markets are often not the best
-institutional frameworks to manage them. However, these services must be (and are being) valued, and we need new, common asset institutions to better take these values into account.} }

During this curing, colonization by marine microalgae is delayed and also macrobenthos such as corals may be impacted. In this study, we evaluated how concrete curing time applied prior to the deployment of artificial reefs affected coral performance. Fragments of five coral species were outplanted onto ordinary Portland concrete discs (n = 10) that had been cured on land. Seven different curing periods were applied, ranging from one day up to four months. The discs with corals were deployed at a Kenyan reef and photographed at the start and end of the experiment. After 1 year, coral cover had increased for four coral species and declined for one, but this was unrelated to concrete curing time. Also, no effect of curing time was seen on the development of other common benthic organisms such as macroalgae or soft corals. We conclude that curing of concrete is unlikely to have any long-term negative impacts on coral performance and therefore, extended curing of artificial reefs prior to coral attachment is unlikely to benefit reef restoration efforts.} }
