Judul: Studi perkembangan komodo (Varanus komodoensis), umur 0-46 minggu di Kebun Binatang Surabaya (KBS) tahun 1983 dan umur 0-12 minggu di Kebun Binatang Ragunan, (KBR) Jakarta tahun 1998
Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perkembangan komodo "yearlings" yang dihubungkan dengan pakan yang diberikan dan hubungan antara pertumbuhan dengan konsumsi zat-zat makanan komodo di masing-masing kebun binatang yaitu Kebun Binatang Surabaya (KBS) dan Kebun Binatang Ragunan, Jakarta (KBR). Jumlah komodo yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah 7 ekor di KBS dan 34 ekor di KBR. Pakan utama komodo di KBS adalah daging sapi dan kuning telur puyuh atau ayam, sedangkan di KBR diberi 3 perlakuan jenis pakan utama yaitu ikan mujair, daging ayam dan daging sapi yang semuanya ditambah dengan kuning telur ayam. Sejumlah 14 ekor komodo di KBR yang diberi pakan daging sapi digunakan untuk membandingkan dengan pertumbuhan komodo di KBS. Dua puluh ekor komodo yang lain di KBR dibagi menjadi 3 kelompok berdasarkan pemberian pakan, yang digunakan untuk melihat jenis pakan yang sesuai untuk pertumbuhan. Kelompok A berjumlah 6 ekor yang diberi pakan ikan mujair, kelompok B berjumlah 7 ekor yang diberi pakan daging ayam dan kelompok C berjumlah 7 ekor yang diberi pakan daging sapi. Parameter yang diukur adalah berat badan, panjang tubuh, konsumsi bahan kering,

Abstrak: This study was conducted to get the hematology and blood biochemistry profile of Komodo dragons at Ragunan Zoo. A total of 18 adult dragons were used. Blood was drawn as much as 2 mL whole blood for hematology and 3 mL for blood biochemistry in serum. Hematology examinations were done by automatic hemavet® machine except differential leukocytes were done manually and blood biochemistry examinations were done by biosystem® machine. Examinations results of erythrocyte parameters of total erythrocytes, hematocrit, hemoglobin, MCV, MCH, and MCHC in row are (1,24±0,21) × 106/mm3, (38,0±4,6) %, (13,3±1,6) g/dL, (311,4±49,9) fL, (109,4±18,7) pg, and (35,1±1,2) g/dL. Trombocytes count is (3,1±1.6) × 103/mm3 and erythrocyte sedimentation rate is (3,9 ± 1.7) mm/h. Leukocytes parameters indicate the values of total leukocytes, heterophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils in row are (6,53±9,47) × 103/mm3, (3,478±4,972) × 103/mm3, (2,959±4,694) × 103/mm3, (0,096±0,187) × 103/mm3, (0,00) /mm3, and (0,00) /mm3. Biochemical parameters indicate the values of total protein, albumin, globulin, AST, ALT, urea, and creatinine in row are (10,19±3,39) g/dL, (2,51±0,39) g/dL, (7,68±3,07) g/dL, (49,39±20,71) IU/L, (45,39±27,88) IU/L, (13,53±5,88) mg/dL, and (0,29±0,11) mg/dL. The result of examinations averagely showed values tend to normal. Some individual results demonstrated abnormalities which are suspected as acute infection in 1 dragon, foliculogenesis in 1 dragon, muscle disease in 2 dragons, and liver disease in 5 dragons.

Abstrak: Carbohydrate-based esters of fatty acids are nonionic surfactants which are nontoxic, odorless, tasteless, and biodegradable. Glucose oleic acid is one of them. It can be synthesized by reacting glucose pentaacetate (GPA) and methyl oleate with conventional heating for 6 hours, which is slow and time-consuming. Therefore, organic synthesis has been developed by employing microwave irradiation, so called Microwave- Assisted Organic Synthesis (MAOS). This research synthesized glucose oleic acid, from GPA and methyl oleate using MAOS method, to reduce time of reaction and better yield. The parameters observed were melting point (for GPA), free fatty acid content (for methyl oleate), functional group analysis using Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and percent of yield. Reaction between GPA and glucose oleic acid was transesterification, while those of methyl oleate was esterification. GPA and glucose oleic acid using MAOS gave faster time of reaction, 5-10 minutes. The results showed that GPA, methyl oleate, and glucose oleic acid were well synthesized, as shown by FTIR spectra. The yield of GPA was 68,52%, with melting point was 94–111 °C. Methyl oleate gave 95,69% yield. Free fatty acid content of methyl oleate was 2,23%. The yield of glucose oleic acid was 47,18%.
