COREMAP (Coral Reef Rehabilitation and Management Program) lahir pada tahun 1998 sebagai sebuah proyek yang digagas untuk membantu pengelolaan dan pemanfaatan terumbu karang secara lestari. Upaya ini telah menghasilkan output, outcome, dan dampak yang signifikan terhadap kelestarian terumbu karang, padang lamun, dan mangrove di beberapa daerah Indonesia. Karena itu, COREMAP telah menghasilkan l…
In this chapter we present the foundations of Newton’s theory of gravitation. Intuitively, the theory of gravitation is easiest to understand as “action at a distance,” Latin actio ad distans, where the force between two masses is proportional to the masses themselves, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. This is the form of Newton’s general law of grav…
In traditional societies, undoubtedly the most common conception of the figure of the Earth was that the Earth is a flat disc extending to the horizon, with the sky curving like a dome over her. On the inner surface of the dome, the celestial bodies describe their complicated orbits. Children also have generally the same conception. Only with formal education does this “naïve world model” …
In this book we will be concerned with the basics of the macromolecular interactions that affect cellular processes. The basic tools for such studies are genetics, chemistry, and physics. For the most part, we will be concerned with understanding processes that occur within cells, such as DNA synthesis, protein synthesis, and regulation of gene activity. The initial studies of these processes u…
Sudah banyak hasil riset yang membuktikan bahwa tanaman hiperakumulator dapat menjadi solusi untuk mem- bersihkan lingkungan tercemar dengan tingkat kontaminasi yang parah sekalipun dan lebih ekonomis dibandingkan cara konvensional. Pemanfaatan tanaman akumulator yang sudah berhasil ialah pembersihan Pb menggunakan tanaman Brassica juncea sehingga menurunkan kadar Pb tanah dari 2.300 mg…
In-chapter Examples walk students through problems by posing a question, stepping out a solution, and then asking students to practice the skill with a “Check Your Learning” component. The book also includes assessments at the end of each chapter so students can apply what they’ve learned through practice problems. Chemistry was conceived and written to fit a particular topical sequence, …
The Science and Technology of Particle Accelerators provides an accessible introduction to the field, and is suitable for advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and academics, as well as professionals in national laboratories and facilities, industry, and medicine who are designing or using particle accelerators. Providing integrated coverage of accelerator science and technology, this boo…
In the process reflecting citizen science and its practices, many questions arise.How old is citizen science? What is the difference, if any, between citizen science,participatory science, post-normal science, civic science, and crowd science? Iscitizen science just a new political term in order to obtain funding? Some criticsview citizen science as a renewed neoliberal approach to exploit citi…
Sadar kawasan adalah usaha, ikhtiar untuk memperkenalkan gunung-gunung, hutan, dan totalitas alam beserta aturan dan ketentuan pada umumnya agar masyarakat dapat mengenal dan mengetahui alam, yang pada akhirnya bisa mencintai alam sebagai sumber hidup dan kehidupan. Untuk itu, diharapkan dengan sendirinya muncul kesadaran untuk menjaga keutuhan alam. Buku ini selain membahas relasi konsep kawas…
