Economic impact of biofouling on a naval surface ship

Michael P. Schultz, John Bendick, Eric Holm et al. · 14 Dec 2010

In the present study, the overall economic impact of hull fouling on a mid-sized naval surface ship (Arleigh Burke-class destroyer DDG-51) has been analyzed. A range of costs associated with hull fouling was examined, including expenditures for fuel, hull coatings, hull coating application and removal, and hull cleaning. The results indicate that the primary cost…

Recent developments in superhydrophobic surfaces and their relevance to marine fouling: a review

Jan Genzer, Kirill Efimenko · 1 Jan 2006

In this review, a brief synopsis of superhydrophobicity (i.e. extreme non-wettability) and its implications on marine fouling are presented. A short overview of wettability and recent experimental developments aimed at fabricating superhydrophobic surfaces by tailoring their chemical nature and physical appearance (i.e. substratum texture) are reviewed. The formation of responsive/"smart" surfaces, which adjust their physico-chemical…

Resistance of bacterial biofilms to disinfectants: a review

Arnaud Bridier, Romain Briandet, Vincent Thomas et al. · 15 Oct 2011

A biofilm can be defined as a community of microorganisms adhering to a surface and surrounded by a complex matrix of extrapolymeric substances. It is now generally accepted that the biofilm growth mode induces microbial resistance to disinfection that can lead to substantial economic and health concerns. Although the precise origin of such resistance remains…

Effects of coating roughness and biofouling on ship resistance and powering

Michael P. Schultz · 13 Sep 2007

Predictions of full-scale ship resistance and powering are made for antifouling coating systems with a range of roughness and fouling conditions. The estimates are based on results from laboratory-scale drag measurements and boundary layer similarity law analysis. In the present work, predictions are made for a mid-sized naval surface combatant at cruising speed and near…

The impact and control of biofouling in marine aquaculture: a review

Isla Fitridge, Tim Dempster, Jana Guenther et al. · 9 Jul 2012

Biofouling in marine aquaculture is a specific problem where both the target culture species and/or infrastructure are exposed to a diverse array of fouling organisms, with significant production impacts. In shellfish aquaculture the key impact is the direct fouling of stock causing physical damage, mechanical interference, biological competition and environmental modification, while infrastructure is also…

Biofouling template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Biofouling format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Biofouling template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Taylor & Francis format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Biofouling use?
Biofouling uses Author–year (Chicago, T&F) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, Ada, Ben Jones, and Cara Lee. 2023. "A Representative Article Title." Biofouling 12 (3): 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Biofouling?
No. DocuGuru generates the interact LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Taylor & Francis-ready Biofouling document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Biofouling template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Biofouling format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
Who publishes Biofouling?
Biofouling is a multidisciplinary journal published by Taylor & Francis. DocuGuru's Biofouling template matches Taylor & Francis's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Biofouling PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Biofouling template (the interact class) that is ready to submit to Taylor & Francis, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Biofouling template cost?
You can start writing in the Biofouling template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Biofouling PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
