Komunitas ikan pada terumbu buatan pipa paralon dan biorock di perairan pantai Malalayang, Kota Manado Sulawesi Utara (Fish community inartificial reefs of paralon pipe and biorock, placedin coastal waters of Malalayang, Manado North Sulawesi) [PDF]
JURNAL ILMU DAN TEKNOLOGI PERIKANAN TANGKAP, 2018 Coral reefs in Malalayang coastal waters has degraded due to impact of restoration and pollution, especially domestic disposals. It makes the fishermen communities who depend upon the coral reef fisheries difficult to fish in the coastal waters. One of the solutions for coral restoration is to develop artificial reefs.

BioRock: new experiments and hardware to investigate microbe–mineral interactions in space [PDF]
International Journal of Astrobiology, 2017 AbstractIn this paper, we describe the development of an International Space Station experiment, BioRock. The purpose of this experiment is to investigate biofilm formation and microbe–mineral interactions in space. The latter research has application in areas as diverse as regolith amelioration and extraterrestrial mining.
