The book showcases the current state of the technology by providing an understanding of the anticorrosive and anti-biofouling effects of nanomaterials and nanocomposites under different environments; the chapters span a wide range of topics, reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of organic coatings and materials science. Nanomaterials and nanocomposite materials have been developed as corrosion inhibitors and are the most noble and effective alternatives to traditional organic corrosion inhibitors. Nanomaterials provide reasonably high anticorrosive activity in both aqueous and solution phases. A unified approach to this task is lacking, however, which highlights the role of all disciplines involved in the creation and use of corrosion protection coatings for metals. Fouling is the process of accumulating unwanted material that is mostly non-living and comprised of detritus and organic or inorganic compounds, or organisms, such as tiny viruses up to giant kelps. This book covers both the processes of biofouling and anti(bio)fouling, and the devices that stop the biofouling process. This book provides a missing synopsis by providing an understanding of the anticorrosive and anti-biofouling effects of nanomaterials and nanocomposites under different environments. It features an up-to-date picture of the quality and chemistry of a substrate surface, its proper preparation by conversion treatment, the function of resins and anticorrosive pigments in paints, and novel concepts for corrosion protection. Audience The book can be used as a standard reference for manufacturers of antifouling solutions, the shipping industry, oil and gas producers, aquaculture, and other industries using offshore structures. Researchers and engineers working in corrosion engineering, metal surface and coatings engineering, materials science, chemical engineering, and applied chemistry will find this book to be very useful.

A wise, heartfelt, and compelling guide to our quest for wholeness in a broken world A Hidden Wholeness--now in its 20th Anniversary Edition, with a new Introduction by bestselling author Parker J. Palmer--has helped people in every walk of life rise to the challenge of living "divided no more." What leads us to live divided lives that defy our own sense of identity and integrity? When we do, what price do we and the world pay? How can we recover the wholeness that is our birthright gift? Palmer examines the forces that deflect us from the soul's true north and gives us the tools we need to regain our bearings. Mapping an inner journey to be taken in solitude and community, Palmer explores perspectives and practices that can help us embody integrity in a world where it often feels risky to be who we are. As we learn how to be present to others in spaces where it's safe for the soul to speak (aka "circles of trust"), we find ways to rejoin soul and role in our personal, vocational, and public lives. Inspired by A Hidden Wholeness--and by the work of the Center for Courage & Renewal, a nonprofit Palmer founded in the late 1990s--tens of thousands of people have participated in circles of trust to deepen their sense of "true self" and contribute to the common good in the places where they live and work. To support readers in developing these practices, the book comes with an online "Study Guide for Readers and Group Leaders," including author videos, available free at the Center's website. In the midst of our broken world, the principles and practices in this book can ground us in the "hidden wholeness," giving us a place to stand as we seek to live with deeper integrity at every level of our lives.

"Reinforcement learning (RL) is an area of machine learning concerned with how intelligent agents ought to take actions in an environment in order to maximize the notion of cumulative reward. Reinforcement learning is one of three basic machine learning paradigms, alongside supervised learning and unsupervised learning. Reinforcement learning differs from supervised learning in not needing labelled input/output pairs to be presented, and in not needing sub-optimal actions to be explicitly corrected. Instead the focus is on finding a balance between exploration (of uncharted territory) and exploitation (of current knowledge)."--
